Time Out for O/T – Vol. 18

Ok, now I have heard a couple of commentators make statements that Jennifer appeared to be drunk or had a couple of shots before hand. Really? You can get drunk with the enthusiasm of your audience and their excitement makes you excited. And, if she did have a couple of shots before hand, good for her! She delivered. This last couple of weeks, the others on Current TV have been putting some pressure on her and expedition on her delivering. They were proud of her after, tho, as well they should be. If you ever watch her show, you will see that she is 100 and 10 percent behind our President. She was there for him. VP Biden noticed and he said he loved her! Those faces in the crowd show that they were hanging on her every word. That would get anyone drunk with excitement.

Oh, and one more thing, Fox criticized her for not mentioning that President Bush started the support for the auto industry. Well, that would be up to someone at the GOP to deliver that message. Why would Jennifer mention him? Get real, FOX! Idiots! They are just jealous that they don’t have anyone that could or did get them that excited.

KQ, sometimes if you don’t use your card for internet purchases much, they call to verify it is you. Just a double check. Perhaps that was it. I wasn’t questioned when I donated but I do use mine on the internet for purchases, too. I remember the first few times they did check with me to make sure it was me when purchasing.

I loved Jennifer Granholms speech at the convention! She was great. “In Romney’s world, the car gets the elevator and the workers get the shaft!” Also, she counted out the auto jobs saved state by state and they are swing states! “Start our engines and in the voting booth, D is for Drive Forward and R is for Reverse!” Jennifer was operation on all cylinders. Too bad she was born in Canada because I would love to see her run for President. If you missed her, the following is the video in two parts.

I am so happy for you, KQ! That is wonderful! It took me 2 years to get mine. You are a fighter and you are a winner!

When it comes to Bill, well, we may talk bad about him but he is our guy and nobody else better. He didn’t make it about him, he made it all about President Obama tonight. He reminded me about things I had forgotten about when it came to the President. President Clinton covered it all and he talked so we could understand and follow. Did you notice the audience? No one went to sleep either. He held them all the way through and Billy is long winded. But, he told the truth and I am ready to vote! (I know, I was already but he got me excited!)

KQ, agree! And, than there is Nader. In his complaints about the President, no where does he say that no matter if the President tried to do the things he says needed done, it would never have gotten pass the Republicans in the House or Senate. Nader did cost Gore the Presidency, I don’t care what he says. Look, I am for holding our elected officials accountable and demand more from them but you have to have someone in the office that at least is for issues close to yours. You put Republicans in there and you will have to have the people take to the streets because no one will be able to fight their hold on the government.
Nader and Eastwood need to talk to empty chairs. That will listen to their logic that is empty.

Okay, this is going to be made out as a big protest against Democrats when that is not it at all and I bet it will get more coverage than those that were at the Republican convention.

Activists, police plan for big protests at Democratic convention

The big protests that were planned outside the Republican National Convention last week in Tampa, Florida, never really materialized, doused in part by a tropical storm. But activists say they expect a stronger showing this week, when Democrats gather for their nominating convention in Charlotte.
The 80-plus groups that make up the Coalition to March on Wall Street South plan to hold a 3-mile (5-km) march on Sunday aimed at putting a spotlight on Charlotte as the United States’ second-largest financial center, behind New York.>
Organizers expect several thousand people to participate, including some coalition members who were involved in much smaller protests last week in Tampa, during the convention where Republicans nominated Mitt Romney for president.

And, they are protesting the following? At the Democrat’s Convention? Aren’t they preaching/protesting to the choir?

The range of protest issues is broad, with activists expected to travel from across North Carolina and other states to push for fewer restrictions on marijuana, separation of church and state, marriage and religious liberties, and causes affecting senior citizens and immigrants.
Protesters have criticized the speakers’ platform, which is about six-tenths of a mile from Time Warner Cable Arena, as being too far from the main convention activities to be effective. Organizer Carroll described the designated parade route as “a tour of parking lots and abandoned lots.”
“It will make it difficult or impossible for bankers or any (Democratic) delegates to actually hear the complaints,” he said.

FC, I read that, too, and it showed that he was more business than concerned. Because based on where the water came from may determine if you are covered by insurance. Romney asked, “Did the water come from the sky, the rivers, or the ocean?” Does he have stock in Allstate??

Residents of the Gulf must be wincing after hearing Romney ‘s question. After all the question of whether the water that damages your home came from the sea or the sky is of GREAT interest to your insurance company, and can determine if you’re covered for water damages.

Did you hear from the RNC how warm, kind, and good hearted that Governor Romney is? Well, here is a new example:

NEWS FLASH
ROMNEY TO HOMELESS HURRICANE VICTIM: ‘GO HOME’ | Yesterday, GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney visited Louisiana, where much of the state was flooded due to Hurricane Issac. While visiting the Pelican State, however, Romney had some odd advice for one victim of the hurricane who had lost her home due to the flooding. According to Jodie Chiarello, a suddenly homeless resident of the state, Romney advised her to “go home and call 211.” 211 is a telephone number in Louisiana that provides information to residents about health and human services programs.

Leave it to Walmart to do away jobs at the minimum wage and no benefits.

Walmart Is Testing A Scan-And-Go iPhone App That Could One Day Replace Cashiers

Walmart’s US stores spend about $12 millions on cashier wages per second, so an app like this could save the company a lot of money.

$12 million on cashier wages is how many employees? A lot I am sure at minimum wage. No need for a cashier to check you out after you buy all that junk from China. Like Walmart is hurting for money, too.

While answering a comment of Choicelady, I looked up George Romney and found something interesting. He was born in Mexico. Now how was he able to run for President? I don’t think Mitt should be getting to involved with those birthers if I were him. How come no one has said anything about that????

Romney (George) was born to American parents living in the Mormon colonies in Mexico; events during the Mexican Revolution forced his family to flee back to the United States when he was a child.

Romney’s parents, Gaskell Romney (1871–1955) and Anna Amelia Pratt (1876–1926), were American citizens and natives of the Territory of Utah.[7][8][9] Gaskell Romney was born in Chihuahua, Mexico. They married in 1895 in Mexico and lived in Colonia Dublán in Galeana in the state of Chihuahua (one of the Mormon colonies in Mexico), where George was born on July 8, 1907.[1][4][10] They practiced monogamy[1] (polygamy having been abolished by the 1890 Manifesto, although it persisted in places, especially Mexico).[11] George had three older brothers, two younger brothers, and a younger sister.[12] Gaskell Romney was a successful carpenter, house builder, and farmer who headed the most prosperous family in the colony,[9][13] which was situated in an agricultural valley below the Sierra Madre Occidental.[7] The family chose U.S. citizenship for their children, including George.[7]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_W._Romney

Okay, I know McCain was born in Panama while his father was in the service. That was on a military base. George was born on a Mormon colony in Mexico because his grandparents had fled the US because of practicing polygamy. They were fugitives from the law. They were not on any US base or colony.
And, the Birthers can’t accept Hawaii as part of the United States????

I woke up this morning after a dream of Clint Eastwood saying: “I’ll give you my chair when you take it from my cold, dead hands.”

» Posted By SallyT On August 31, 2012 @ 2:09 pm

AB, I think it is just the sun shining in it. If you look close you can see the elephant emblem on the side of the helmet.

“I heard that Clint Eastwood was channeling me at the RNC,” tweeted comic actor Bob Newhart, known for his one-sided conversation bits. “My lawyers and I are drafting our lawsuit.”

Original “Star Trek” actor George Takei said he was “drafting a DNC speech to (an) imaginary Romney in an empty factory.

There are some really funny tweets out there.

» Posted By SallyT On August 31, 2012 @ 2:05 am

Probably so. Did you notice that ahole Eastwood said “Mr. Obama” not “President Obama” when talking to the chair? And, like the President would ever tell him to shut up. The President has more class and certainly more respect than Clint Eastwood apparently has. I lost a lot of my respect for Mr. Eastwood with that pitiful performance.

Correction, I guess he only said Mr. Obama once and the rest of the time Mr. President.

I like that! But is he spray painting it?

» Posted By SallyT On August 31, 2012 @ 1:44 am

Eastwood: “This here is an 18th century antique Chippendale chair. It came with 4 legs. I have fired off one leg, two, or was it three. Is there still a leg left? Well, is there, Punk?”

Mr. Eastwood, that chair is taken![img]http://static4.businessinsider.com/image/50403f40ecad0438410000b2/barack-obama-chair.png[/img]

Yes they did!! 😆

Funkie, ain’t that the truth! 😆

Funkie, here was Obama’s press secretary’s response. It was pretty funny, too. Yes, they are quick.

Obama Camp On Eastwood: ‘Referring All Questions On This To Salvador Dali’

Reached by Politico for a response to Clint Eastwood’s bizarre, offbeat speech at the Republican National Convention on Thursday, Obama campaign press secretary Ben LaBolt declined to delve into specifics, but instead deferred to a late Spanish painter known for his surrealist work.

“Referring all questions on this to Salvador Dali,” LaBolt told Politico via email.

I think Eastwood was there to promote his new movie “Trouble With The Curve” and he was still in character. Old fart of an anger man.

KT, I think Eastwood gave a hit at Bush whether on purpose or not when he said, “Going to war in Afghanistan. No one checked with Russia that was in one with them for ten years?” Those aren’t the exact words but close.

» Posted By SallyT On August 30, 2012 @ 9:12 pm

It was that, AB. I was reading the tweets that Current runs on the side of their screen and the comments were funny, sad, and as you said pathetic. Most thought he didn’t realize where he was.
I wonder how many takes it takes for him to do a scene now in his movies. Take 89 (smack)
