Mitt Romney's Vulture Capitalism is Exactly What Tony Soprano Ordered!

Here's what Vulture Capitalist Mitt Romney is saying about our President and Vice President: "There's no question that he's attacking capitalism, in part because I think he doesn't understand how the free economy works. He's never had a job in the free economy, neither has Vice President Biden. They've spent their lives as either community organizers or member of the political class, and frankly the American people understand that free economy and free enterprise is tough - it's hard work."

What Romney calls "Free Economy and Free Enterprise,"  in other words, the ANTICS performed by Bain Capital, are what most Americans call Vulture Capitalism. Everyone in the Business World understands what firms like Bain Capital do. They truly ARE Vultures. They search for greedy or dying businesses. Bain Promises their CEOs relief. The recommendations are: 1. Layoff Workers.  2. Outsource Overseas. 3. If needed, FILE Bankruptcy. 4. IF the company survives, then hire some workers back at minimum wage with NO Benefits. Then, when Wall Street sees improved results, Stock Prices go up, CEOs are rewarded with Big Bonuses and companies like BAIN make a Killing in Profit!

Mitt Romney calls this a "Free Economy" and "Free Enterprise." WE THE PEOPLE call it "Vulture Capitalism."

Forgotten Dream: Romney Fails to Mention Dream Act to Latino Audience!

In the past, Mitt Romney has said he supports finding a solution for undocumented students. But you wouldn't know it from his Wednesday speech on education to Latino business leaders, where the issue went untouched, forgotten, leaving some audience members concerned that he simply doesn't have a plan.

Romney has been flip flopping on the Dream Act all year. He said in January that he would VETO the current version of the Dream Act, which passed the House and was defeated by Republicans in the Senate in 2010.
In March, he flipped and said he could support other efforts to help the Dreamers, including an ambiguous bill proposed by Republican Sen. Marco Rubio with NO path to citizenship for the students.

However, Romney AGAIN FLIPPED in April saying he wasn't supporting the proposal, instead he told reporters, "I'm taking a LOOK at his proposal; it has many features to commend it, BUT it's something that we’re (just) studying,”

Flip Flop Romney's failure to mention the Dream Act, or similar legislative efforts, wasn't the only missed opportunity to discuss education issues important to Latinos. Romney also did not address the education gap between Latinos and students in general, an issue his campaign and the Republican National Committee have highlighted in outreach efforts.


The Romney campaign did not respond to requests for comment on why the candidate's speech skipped these important issues.

Crazy Arpaio Spends Taxpayer $$ on his INSANE Birther Quest in HawaiI!!

Joe Arpaio says taxpayers are footing the bill for sending one of his deputies to Hawaii to accompany an official in his volunteer posse that is investigating President Barack Obama's birth certificate, although he is hoping he will exploit donations to reimburse the taxpayers. The sheriff said Tuesday that the posse, which so far has used $40,000 in donations to pay for the probe, will reimburse his office for the deputy's trip to Hawaii this week. Arpaio bogusly claimed, "Even if it is costing the tax payers money, we are talking about a criminal investigation into possible fraud and forgery on government documents." Arpaio launched the investigation last summer with exploiter Jerome Corsi and said in March he thinks there is probable cause to believe The President's long-form birth certificate, released by the White House more than a year ago, just might be a computer-generated forgery and the wayward sheriff also assumes the president's Selective Service card might be a forgery.

Speculation about Obama's birthplace has swirled among the right wing extremist conservatives for years. These extremist, crazy "Birthers" maintain that Obama is ineligible to be President because, these lunatics contend our President was born in Kenya.

Hawaii officials have repeatedly confirmed Obama's citizenship, and Obama released a copy of his long-form birth certificate more than a year ago in an attempt to quell citizenship questions. Courts also have rebuffed lawsuits over the issue.

Democratic state Sen. Steve Gallardo said Arpaio has misplaced priorities when he focuses on the president's birth certificate. Arpaio has failed to adequately investigate hundreds of sex-crimes cases over a three-year period ending in 2007. "The cost of this trip to Hawaii ought to come out of this re-election campaign because this is politics," Gallardo said. "It's political grandstanding."

Janice Okubo, spokeswoman for the Hawaii State Department of Health, said two men dressed in business suits from Arpaio's department sat down with deputies from the health department and attorney general's office in a conference room Monday. The men identified themselves as being from the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office and provided their badges and business cards when asked, Okubo said.

"They said they were conducting an investigation," Okubo said.
Okubo said the Hawaii officials told the men they had to show why they needed the information as part of ordinary business — a response similar to that given to Arizona Secretary of State Ken Bennett last week when he publicly pushed his request to verify Obama's birth.

BAIN, VENTURE CAPITALISM, ROMNEY, COREY BOOKER, AMERICAN JOB DESTROYERS & WALL STREET SUPPORTERS!

Mitt Romney is a very rich 1 percenter. His time at Bain Capital is a disgrace. He claims he knows so much about business, but his business knowledge is based on his experience at Bain and Venture Capitalism. It is absolutely laughable that he claims he is a "job creator" because of his experiences at Bain Capital.
Since I retired in 2009 from my 30+ year career at a very large corporation, I have spent the last two years working as a Consultant for Healthcare and Investment Companies specializing in both Medicare and Retirement Investing so I am very familiar with what has been happening in the Business World and its impact on the American Public.
It is very obvious to me that most Americans DO NOT UNDERSTAND what Venture Capitalism is. I've created this very simplified chart to explain what it is all about.
After understanding what Venture Capitalism is, I want each of you to listen to Romney's words.
Remember when he said he "created a Hundred Thousand jobs" while he was at Bain? He said this during the Republican Presidential debates. Now I want you to listen to his NEW talking points. NOW he says he has created "thousands of jobs." He has significantly reduced the number. Why? Because WE THE PEOPLE are asking him for PROOF of the jobs he created. He is NOT showing us the TRUTH. He is just giving us more numbers (Yes Largely Reduced) but still just Numbers.
ROMNEY NEEDS TO SHOW US THE JOBS HE CREATED.
WHEN HE DOES, YOU WILL SEE THAT THE SO CALLED JOBS HE CREATED, WERE AT HALF THE WAGES WITH NO BENEFITS OR RETIREMENT PLANS.
Now this (IDIOT) Corey Booker, the Mayor of Newark, who is running for re election soon and I'm sure has many Wall Street contributors, makes STUPID COMMENTS supporting Bain, Romney and Venture Capitalism. And he is supposed to be a Democrat and a "surrogate" (as he says) of our President. I suspect he is a deep pocketed crook who knew he was going on Meet the Press and deliberately set up the President to support his Wall Street Contributors. (Note: There are ALSO some "ole time" Latino politicos that will also be corrupt and support the Republican Talking Points in the months ahead. When they do, I will write blogs to EXPOSE them!)
This is just more of the same old - same old 1 percenters, the politicians they have bought and paid for, and these scoundrels talking their TALKING POINTS!
It is time for these 1 percenters and their supporters to GO! Romney -- WE THE PEOPLE do NOT Need Your Kind of Job Creation!!

Dreamers: Support Our President in Passing the Dream Act!

As my long time readers know, I am a strong supporter of the Dream Act. Passing the Dream Act is one of the Missions of my Blog.  President Obama and his Administration also support the passage of the Dream Act. He has said so on countless occasions. He has pushed forward several bills and in 2010, a Dream Act was nearly passed. However the Republicans and 6 Blue Dog Democrats ruthlessly defeated it.

I believe that if he is re-elected and we vote in a Democratic Congress, one of the first bills that will be passed is the Dream Act. Many polls indicate that +70% of Americans support its passage.

Knowing all of this is why I am saddened by the Dream Protesters in Arizona (of all places) protesting against the President in support of the Dream Act. Russell Pearce and Joe Arpaio are cheering from their tower offices. The protesters are protesting the rate of deportations during Obama's presidency and somehow connecting that to the failure of the passage of the Dream Act. What the protesters are not understanding is President Obama and his Administration have valiantly tried to pass the Dream Act. They were almost successful in 2010 except for the Republicans and 6 Blue Dog Dems who defeated it.

Additionally, the reason for the high rate of deportation isn't because of the President. It is primarily due to:

1. High rate of Republican states that have passed racial profiling bills like sb1070 and have targeted Latino neighborhoods for arrests.

and

2. The Obama administration / ICE have reduced the time in Detention Centers/Private Prisons and moved to deport more quickly than the Bush Administration who pandered to private prisons and demanded 180 days in their $100 a day private prisons of their private prison cronies.

In fact, in 2011, the Obama administration updated their policy and only deport the felonious criminals and are not tar getting students or workers at all. The Republicans are very upset by this change.

Romney is a STRONG supporter of the racial profiling bill SB1070. He has also said that if he is elected President and Obama has passed the Dream Act, ON DAY ONE he will VETO the Dream Act. 

Romney said he believes in 100% Mass Deportation/Self Deportation.

Regarding this bogus Republican Dream Act alternative promoted by Romney and HINO Marco Rubio, Kris Kobach  (who is on Team Romney) said the only way that Romney can pass his new version of the Dream Act is if ALL the students self-deport themselves FIRST.

PLEASE, Dear Dream Students, Read and Study the Republican Agenda. They are NOT on our side. They are merely pandering to you, attempting to hoodwink Latinos into voting for them.

We MUST Support our President. If we elect him again and elect a Democratic Congress, they will Pass the Dream Act AND Comprehensive Immigration Reform.


If you want to March, then March in support of helping our President pass the Dream Act on Day One of his re-election.

U.S. Has Its First Female Olympic Boxer: Meet Ms. Marlen Esparza

Meet The boxing future of the American United States Boxing Team bound for London, England. Latina Marlen Esparza became the first American female boxer to qualify for the London Olympics, while the chances for the two United States fighters in the other weight classes, Quanitta Underwood and Claressa Shields, have been left hanging by a thread.

Women’s boxing will make its debut as an Olympic event at this summer’s Games. There are 10 weight divisions for men, but only three for women: featherweight, 112 pounds; lightweight, 132 pounds; and middleweight, 165 pounds.
Twenty-four of the 36 Olympic qualifiers will be determined this week at the women’s world boxing championships in Qinhuangdao, China. Advancing in the tournament is one criterion. Geographical distribution is another.

Esparza, 22, of Houston qualified for the Olympics on Tuesday by beating Luu Thi Duyen of Vietnam, 28-13. It was her second victory in the tournament, and she is the only featherweight from the Americas left in the competition.

The United States mens team consists of the flyweight Rau’shee Warren of Cincinnati; the bantamweight Joseph Diaz Jr. of South El Monte, Calif.; the lightweight Jose Ramirez of Avenal, Calif.; the light welterweight Jamel Herring of Coram, N.Y.; the welterweight Errol Spence Jr. of DeSoto, Tex.; the middleweight Terrell Gausha of Cleveland; the light heavyweight Marcus Browne of Staten Island; the heavyweight Michael Hunter of Las Vegas; and the super heavyweight Dominic Breazeale of Alhambra, California.
