On August 17, 2011 President Barack Obama bused in style and splendor to the first of two “town hall” destinations in west Illinois. For seeking to "steal thunder" from stumping Rick Perry and others, top national and state Republicans panned his campaign-tone, glad-handing visit and criticized his insistence upon taxpayer-funded Canadian-manufactured buses as part of a so-called "jobs tour".
Obama
has chosen two Canadian-made buses at $1.1 million plus $2 million for "modifications" i.e. "pimping them out". Always fund-raising and in a CAMPAIGN MODE, Obama has known he would need the buses for years. Why didn't he order them from Blue Bird Buses of LaFayette, Georgia last year, then talk about saving hundreds of jobs. Blue Bird laid off people who described the feeling as "blindsided", "hit in the back of the head", and "stabbed in the gut". Their rule out COULD have been due to A) no union and B) all Caucasians and C) Obama not into helping Americans save their jobs.
He does not give a rat's rear end about saving jobs as rebuilding America for socialism/communism involves "BUSTING USA DOWN".
Apparently, the name source for Obama,s "Yes We Can" was from President George W. Bush's spring 2004 “Yes, America Can” campaign tour through the Midwest.
Previously id, it leased buses and fitted them with security and communications gear, then stripped them of the equipment afterward. Apparently Obama has plans for the Canadian buses that may involve friends.
Iowa comments Rick Perry directed at Federal Reserve Bank Chairman Ben Bernanke.
“If this guy prints more money between now and the election, I don’t know what you all would do to him in Iowa, but we would treat him pretty ugly down in Texas,” Perry said. “Printing more money to play politics at this particular time in American history is almost treacherous—or treasonous in my opinion.”
Perry was referring to what is called quantitative easing (or QE in Beltway wonk speak), in which a central bank creates new electronic money to buy corporate and government debt in an effort to lower borrowing costs. The U.S. has already conducted two rounds of QE and several top investors and analysts have predicted that the Fed will embark on a third round later this year, the Guardian notes.
“We’ve already tried this,” Perry added at the backyard campaign event. “All it’s going to be doing is devaluing the dollar in your pocket and we cannot afford that. We have to learn the lessons of the past three years that they’ve been devastating. The president of the United States has conducted an experiment on the American economy for almost the last three years, and it has gone tragically wrong and we need to send him a clear message in November of 2012 that new leadership is coming.”
ABC News reporter posed a follow up question with the GOP next POTUS after the Iowa event to clarify if Rick Perry thought that the Federal Reserve was playing politics to deliberately attempt to help a desperate-for-re-election-and-finishing-off-the-USA-Obama. Perry stated: “If they print more money between now and this election, I would suggest that’s exactly what’s going on.”
Talk show icons refer to Obama's as "Magical Misery Tour" in direct reference to Obama's lack of success as POTUS.
A Youtuber (sounds like a spud but maybe a spud gunner) labeled this video segment as "PERRY GETS VICIOUS" and another labeled identical 0.49 clip as "Perry threatens Bernake HD"
