Obama Lying About His Study Says Economist

Harvey Rosen, the Princeton economist who Obama is citing as the authority that Romney’s tax plan won’t work, says the President is not telling the truth.

“I can’t tell exactly how the Obama campaign reached that characterization of my work”, he told the Weekly Standard.  ” . . The main conclusion of my study is that under plausible assumptions a proposal along the lines suggested by Gov. Romney ca both be revenue neutral and keep the net tax burden on taxpayers with incomes above $200,000 about the same.”
Maybe the President wasn’t lying. Maybe he and all his experts just couldn’t understand it. Maybe he just needs new experts. Maybe we just need a new president.

A ChiCom Connection With Obama

Breitbart News is reporting that the Obama.Com website is owned by a man in Shanghai with strong ties to state-controlled Chinese banks.

Breitbart notes that the website’s donation page does not require the entrance of a credit card security code making it easy to hide foreign donations.
Breitbart notes that 68 percent of all internet traffic to Obama.Com comes from foreign visitors.
Breitbart is promising more details.

Killing With Kindness

The state House, last week, approved legislation  that would limit the ways in which animals can be euthanized and increase the fine for violating the rules from $250 to between $500 and $1,000, said State Rep. Jim Cox (R-129) 

He said the House also last week approved House Bill 2409, which provides a mechanism for animal care organizations to seek compensation for care provided to an animal that was seized due to animal cruelty charges. This would allow the caregivers to seek compensation from the owner of the animal or the defendant in the animal cruelty case.

Cox said he voted for all the bills.
