Labyrinths


Rest in Pieces
Mr. Obama’s political advisers are struggling to define a response, aware that their prospects may rest on persuading voters that the results of the first term matter less than the contrast between their vision for the next four years and the alternative economic ideas offered by Republicans.  (NYT, 8/14/2011) 


We had to read this one a couple of times.  So Obama will apparently run on the following: "Never mind what I did (or didn't do) during my first term.  I've got some great ideas for the next four years."


Disclosed
Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney, who made his fortune as co-founder of a profitable private equity company, has personal financial assets worth as much as $264 million, according to disclosure documents filed Friday.  (Washington Post, 8/12/2011)

This then will be the narrative of the state-controlled media's attacks on Romney: "He's rich." Let's take a quick look at some rich Democrats and how they got that way:

Barack Obama - shady Chicago real estate deal with convicted felon.
Harry Reid - shady Nevada real estate deal.
John Kerry - married wealthy widow.
