Obama Campaign Staffer Helps Person Vote Twice

Posted By Rob Wiederrich

Can't wait to hear the democats make excuses for this criminal. They'll probably just attack O'Keefe again.

Videographer James O’Keefe’s Project Veritas caught an official for President Barack Obama’s re-election campaign helping who she thought was an Obama supporter set herself up to vote more than once in November.

Stephanie Caballero is the regional field director for Obama’s Organizing For America in Houston, Texas. Federal Election Commission documents show, according to Project Veritas, that Caballero is a “salaried employee of the DNC [Democratic National Committee].�

Caballero is caught on camera helping the young woman try to vote in Florida and Texas in the upcoming election.

I guess he is to impatient to wait on God to punish. Thank goodness American Christianity has very few of these kooks.

Unfortunately that is kooky. Christ like(Christian) means just that....and folks who claim to be *Like* Christ and who then speak this vitriol hate..are NOT acting like Christ.

Means they are in trouble of hellfire themselves. They themselves need to *Repent*.

Obama responsible for gas prices?

It is an easy choice for Romney's campaign - gasoline prices have doubled since Obama took over. This is indeed true and the recent high gasoline prices in California adds an exclamation point. However, is the Obama administration responsible for this four year increase? I don't think so. Gasoline prices track reasonably well with oil prices (see attached image) and oil prices have doubled in the 4 years. Is Obama responsible for rising crude oil prices? I don't think so as these are global fluctuations. Other than California's refinery issues, domestic gasoline production exceeds US demand to the point that we are exporting gasoline to Mexico and other South American countries. What is Romney going to do differently to lower gasoline prices during his administration as the article claims? He says increase our domestic oil production. Well we have increased our production over the last 4 years and have reduced our imports. That didn't stop the fluctuations in global oil prices or have any effect on gasoline prices. Long-term is where Obama and Romney differ. Romney wants to allow more fracking, offshore drilling and drilling in environmentally-sensitive areas than Obama. If Romney is elected he will pursue this policy but the benefits will not occur until many years later. So what can he do differently that will make a short-term difference?

BTW, I favor the Republicans long-term drilling plans provided steps are taken to minimize damage. This is a bad time to be relying on oil from the Middle East and we should try to be oil independent. We should also lower our consumption of oil as a means of reducing imports.

Once retailers have the taste of higher prices it is hard to get them to drop them..even when supply is high. One good way to force the prices down (In theory) is to provide lower priced gas(By a major competitor) and customer response will force the higher priced outfits to drop price in order to share in any sales. If priced drop to $2 a gallon the folks will only shop there...causing the seller to gain profits in volume..while the higher priced shops have to lower their prices to sell anything. Starting this tactic takes risk and someone to just start....like ARCO. :S

Gallup's latest poll (10/16):

And here's their:

"Bottom Line

With three weeks to go in the campaign, Obama appears to be losing momentum, and now trails Romney by four percentage points among likely voters. That contrasts with his seven-point win over McCain in 2008. Given this shift in overall voter preferences, it follows that Obama will have lost support among at least some subgroups of the electorate. Those losses are not proportionate across all subgroups, however. He shed the most support among Southerners, college graduates, postgraduates, 30- to 49-year-olds, men, and Protestants. He also lost a moderate amount of support among whites, Easterners, women, and Catholics -- while not building new support elsewhere."


Obama being interviewed after he loses the election.....So Mr President..what happened?, Well...Bush had 8 years to confuse America and I supose(Like I said before), I just didn't get me message across well enough...I supose my story telling isn't as good as I had HOPED. Plus my campaign was handled by inept fools who let me down...no..who let the American people down. They alone hold all the lbame for my failu......defeat.

When idiot Obama claimed Romney wanted to close coal plants because they were *Killers*..he was trying to imply Mitt was against coal...when in fact he was commenting on the unsafe practices and unsafe conditions at the coal plant..that were found in violation of safety standards. NOT in any way what the president was claiming and the lie he propagated. People who don;t know the facts are just as idiotic as the Prez.

Romney and gas prices

Jim Johnson said:

I still think Romney is our best hope so please right wing nuts don't get your panties in a bunch wink and just give me your opinions and facts if they apply.

How is he going to do that short-term? He says he will open up federal lands for drilling but it will take years before we get oil from those new fields.

Jim J

Jim..the sheer fact that he will begin to help businesses will excite them to the degree that they will be motivated to act sooner then later. Businesses are just itching to go back to business......And his first day will inspire many.

We are becoming a nation of, *I can't do iters* I want an entitlement so I can still have the American dream..instead of *I can do this* watch me build my American dream.

Sad. I was on food stamps (WIC)once...just after I got out of the Army back in the day..cuz my job just wasn't cutting in to pay the bills. I got off of it in 3 months..but it helped feed the kids. I didn't want it but times were tough. Far to many folks get on it and stay on it....cuz it's easy money and food.

The new name for Romney's changing position on some of the issues. Good news says Obama, it's covered under Obamacare as a pre-existing condition.

Sorry conservatives but it is funny.

Jim J

Yeah that was a hoot...but it was made so by Obama who is suffering from Onetimmerz himself.
