Dems float 2016 Dream Ticket: Hillary-Michelle

Hillary Clinton hasn’t stepped into the 2016 Democratic presidential primaries yet and there’s already buzz growing for the ultimate grrl power ticket: Clinton and first lady Michelle Obama.

Google tax dodge: sheltered revenues in no-tax Bermuda soar to $10 billion

Google Inc. (GOOG) avoided about $2 billion in worldwide income taxes in 2011 by shifting $9.8 billion in revenues into a Bermuda shell company, almost double the total from three years before, filings show.

By legally funneling profits from overseas subsidiaries into Bermuda, which doesn’t have a corporate income tax, Google cut its overall tax rate almost in half. The amount moved to Bermuda is equivalent to about 80 percent of [...]

Carville: ‘We’re Gonna Have to Go Through Hell and High-Water to Win this Damn Thing’

In a fundraising email sent out by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, Democratic strategist James Carville has a serious warning: “We’re gonna have to go through hell and high-water to win this damn thing.” The remedy, according to Carville, is to donate more money to the Democratic group.

“I wish I had good news for you,” Carville begins the pitch. “I want to tell you that President Obama has a second [...]

Top Democratic aides in Clinton administration argue in 16-page paper that Obama needs new strategy to win voters for second term

This Is Big Trouble For Obama: Hispanic And Black Voters Aren’t Registering to Vote

The Washington Post today digs into voter registration numbers that should leave the Barack Obama campaign a bit worried: among black and Hispanic voters — especially in key states and districts — voter registration is trending sharply down.

 

Consider these numbers: Registration among Hispanics nationwide is down 5 percent. But even more troubling is in key swing states like New Mexico and Florida, where registration is down 28 and 10 percent, respectively.

The decline in minority [...]

DEADLINE: Kimmel & Obama Flatline At White House Correspondents Dinner

Jimmy Kimmel and President Obama high-fived their performances. But it was anything but a memorable evening of comedy at tonight’s White House Correspondents Dinner, that annual media-politics-showbiz schmoozefest in Washington DC. After three years in a row of telling funny jokes, President Obama flatlined. And ABC late night host Jimmy Kimmel didn’t fare any better: he was bland to a fault. They also couldn’t get any laughs out of the [...]

ROMNEY TO OBAMA: ‘START PACKING’

Acting very much like the GOP nominee, Mitt Romney sent a curt message to President Obama today:  “Start packing.”

The message, delivered with a chuckle, came in an exclusive interview with “World News” anchor  Diane Sawyer who asked the presumptive GOP nominee if he had something to say to the president.

Romney said Obama’s “policies have not helped the American people.  They have not helped get jobs, they have not helped raise [...]

Ann Romney tweeted, “All moms are entitled to choose their path” – But for low-wage working moms & about 1/2 of private sector workers, the “choice” is either “go to work & send my sick kid to school” or “stay at home & risk losing my job”.

Raising children is hard work. And no one is arguing that Ann Romney — who has been the center of attention since Democratic strategist Hillary Rosen contended that she “never worked a day in her life” — or any other stay-at-home mom doesn’t deserve [...]

DEMS: Hilary Rosen attacked for being lesbian parent

No one is arguing that raising children isn’t work. Democratic strategist and CAP Action board member Hilary Rosen is a single mother of twins who had to go through the expensive and challenging process of adoption with her then partner Elizabeth Birch. Now, she’s trying to stick up for other mothers who don’t have the luxury of millionaire husbands to help fund their child-rearing duties, and the backlash is getting ugly. Catholic League president Bill [...]

‘She’s ‘never worked a day in her life’: Ann Romney attacked over advising husband while being stay-at-home mom

Mitt Romney’s attempt to hone his appeal to female voters hit a snag on Wednesday night amid criticism of his top female advisor – his wife, Ann Romney.

The presidential hopeful’s frequent deference to his wife on women’s economic issues on the stump caught the attention of democratic strategist Hilary Rosen.

Speaking on CNN’s Anderson Cooper 360, Rosen challenged why the mother-of-five is being looked at as an expert on the subject, [...]

Carville: A Supreme Court loss will help Democrats

(CNN) - While the Obama administration fights to protect the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act, Democratic strategist and CNN contributor James Carville said a Supreme Court overruling may not be such a bad thing for the president, politically.

He added: “You know, what the Democrats [...]

DEM UGLY: ‘A BLACK MAN WHO KNOWS HIS PLACE’

On Martin Bashir’s television program this afternoon, Democratic strategist and MSNBC analyst Karen Finney said that Republicans are supporting Herman Cain because of his race:

“One of the things about Herman Cain is, I think that he makes that white Republican base of the party feel okay, feel like they are not racist because they can like this guy,” Finney said. “I think he giving that base a free pass. And [...]

WIRE: Will Obama’s foreign policy success help?

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – President Barack Obama delivered on another foreign policy promise on Friday with plans to pull the last U.S. troops from Iraq. But in a re-election campaign all about the weak U.S. economy, he may not get much credit.

Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, radical Islamic cleric Anwar al-Awlaki and Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi — these are all dead U.S. opponents that Democrat Obama can claim a measure [...]

The Economy Will Not Recover Until Fraud Is Prosecuted

Jesus H. Christ, someone who finally gets it. Look, bankers make money only one of two ways: lending & repossession.

(Hyper) inflation to the extent of diluting creditor savings isn’t in the play book. Repossession (deflation) has always been in the cards after the wild securitization (inflation).

Let’s put this aside for a moment and consider sales. How do you get someone to agree with your decision? Why, you get them to first initiate an idea so that you are merely agreeing with them. Now, consider [...]
