President Obama is using all the White House weapons at his disposal to woo voters in critical swing states in the campaign's final stretch, announcing a $30 million investment aimed at creating a manufacturing hub in Ohio to help boost technology and create jobs in a three-state region.

White House invests $30 million in Ohio manufacturing hub - Washington Times
I heard about this. But Obama has to "bus in supporters" to make it look like he has a lot of support in Ohio. Recently, while visiting Mansfield, it was reported that all his support was bussed in! LOL.

What an utterly ridiculous thing to say, especially since Romney is spending a LOT more than Obama.

The tinfoil-hat brigade really must make up their minds - he's either a crony capitalist or he's a Marxist, but he can hardly be both.

I have the impression the feeling is mutual. Perhaps you'd like to revisit the question of secession with your governor?

As long as your state never sense another governor for president, I am fine with Texas going red every election.

It's nice to see the nutjobs getting a three-month jump on their excuses, justifications, and rationales for losing!

I know, I almost feel sorry for the Cons and Republicans on this site when all their hopes and dreams of RMoney go up in flames as he gets crushed in the election in November. There are gonna be some sad and depressed Cons on here...I am actually excited about the day after and getting to enjoy their loss.

That's the beauty of this new unlawful tactic of "prosecutorial discretion," the law is still there, it has not been changed, Obama is just using his political power to suspend it in time, to allow a select people to violate the law. The law has a conditional leniency, which depends entirely on Obama winning reelection. The only person on earth with the power to allow you to keep doing what you are doing is Obama.

1) Obama refuses to enforce DOMA, so he has power over the gay and lesbian community

2) Obama refuses to enforce immigration laws, so he has power over the illegal immigrants

3) Obama gives out waivers to ObamaCare laws, so he has power over those businesses with waivers

4) Obama allows work waiver to our Welfare laws, so he has power over the very poor

5) Obama also uses his EPA, Energy Department, etc... to buy votes, by handing out grants of free taxpayer money, and special authorizations to groups, individuals and businesses, which gives him power over them too.

If Obama goes away, so do all of these special deals, waivers, monies, so vote for Obama or else - poof!

I'm sure that all throughout his various administrative agencies, there are more examples of Obama granting waivers to lesser known laws and federal programs. And for the lucky individuals and businesses who are the recipients of king Obama's conditional leniency and gifts.

I think Obama actually gains more political power by choosing to invoke "prosecutorial discretion," then he would by actually getting congress to pass a law, because once a law is passed, he can be voted out of office, and the law still stands. However, vote him out of office and that "prosecutorial discretion" goes away.So it begs the question of what other laws will he choose to ignore, in order to buy votes.
Outstanding
