Funny the MSM reporting on tis sort of thing, perhaps they know that Obama is gone and will be moving to the beach front estate his friends are procuring for his retirement.

Paving the way for Hillary in 2016.

of course the Chicoms punked her on her visit there while they worked deals with Angela Merkel.

By contrast, Clinton’s visit to China, after a barrage of hostile articles in the Chinese press, turned into a fiasco. She argued with the Chinese over a laundry list of intractable issues. No compromise appeared possible; China simply refused to go along with US positions and initiatives. There was Syria: China supports the regime of President Bashar al-Assad, has vetoed three UN Security Council resolutions to stop the violence, and isn’t about to change its mind. There were other flashpoints, such as Iran, North Korea, and the territorial disputes in the South China Sea.

And instead of selling Boeings, software, and nuclear power plants, Clinton argued with hardened Chinese positions. They didn’t even try to put lipstick on their differences. It was so pointless that Vice President Xi Jinping, possibly the next leader of China, cancelled his meeting with her.

The visits by Merkel and Clinton are symptomatic of two different approaches. American concerns are valid, and should be high on the priority list. But so should be the economy, and it would benefit from more exports to China—just as millions of people are asking, “what can the next administration do to help me get a job?” So, Mrs. Clinton, where is the bacon?

From your article:

Quote:
But it is not clear from the remarks that he never worked for a company controlled by Bain.
That may be true....but he never said he did, either.

What he said was this:

Quote:
I also led the steelworkers in the upper Midwest, including GST Steel in Kansas City, a 100-year old company bought by Mitt Romney and his partners at Bain Capital in 1993. It’s a story that I wish didn’t have to be told, but America needs to know the truth.
He goes on to say:

Quote:
In 2001, with GST bankrupt and Romney still CEO of Bain, I stood in front of hundreds of steelworkers in their 50s and 60s, and retirees in their 70s and 80s, and told them Romney and Bain had broken their promises. Jobs, vacation pay, severance, health insurance and pension benefits that were promised—they were all gone.
So, while I know it's not going to be good enough for the Romney supporters here or elswhere, it's obvious he knows and, first-handedly, dealt closely with the union members that he represented who lost their jobs, I'd accept his knowledge of what happened as true and legitimate.

I’m David Foster, and I was a steelworker for 31 years. For 15 years, I laid brick and tapped the furnaces, and did all that hard, dirty work that turned molten metal into the cars and bridges and buildings that make America what it is today.

Here's some background on the three speakers in context wrt Bain. And before the usual suspects scream, Faux News, Breibart, Newsmax" it's from NY Times.

So he was a Union rep for the workers there, I'd say that is semantics.

we can argue either way....and probably will.

THIS is what people talk about when they say "Fact-Checking" however.

I applaud Johnathan Karl for his reporting, some might call it word parsing, but it does little to change the story, or lay any claim to it being flase. If the DNC said he was employed by GST Steel, that MAY be misleading to some respect. But a Union Consultant is being paid by Union workers who are being paid by GST is an employee in my book.


Unless the definition of "EMPLOYMENT" has somehow changed since yesterday, and with the Romney's.....definitions of things tend to not stay cemented.

Default Obama the lying amateur..

Everybody says he is a good politician...he sucks. Its just that the media covers for him so much. Check out this story.

Quote:
Just in case, let me extrapolate: [emphasis added throughout]

Obama had seen the language prior to the convention, a campaign source said, but did not seek to change it until after Republicans jumped on the omissions of God and Jerusalem late Wednesday. And even then, it had to be forced through a convention hall full of delegates who nearly shouted down the change.

Yes, you read that correctly. Politico was told by a source that all the spin coming from the White House and the Obama campaign wasn't true -- that, in fact, Obama had seen the new language long before the media uproar and did not seek to change it.

Perhaps this forum has scrapped the rule disallowing "contributors" to muck up the list with countless dumb threads from brietbart and other wacko sites.

There's a thread-starting limit per day. What are you up to now, 6 or 7 today? Hard to tell, they're all the same nonsense. Please learn how to adhere to the alleged rules.

Also, no one cares. Surely, Obama should have left the Goddish language out, but then the dead guy's Web site would be having a conniption fit over that as well.

Mod Edit: I cared TP ... I cared and merged.
