Chief economist under W. Bush: Obama is anti-MEN

A recent claim by Mitt Romney to the effect that President Obama is conducting an economic "war on women" was debunked by none other by top economist under the Presidency of George W. Bush. Her name is Diana Furchtgott-Roth, who told the Factcheck.org website the following: "“Obama’s policies have been anti-growth...But if anything, they have been anti-male jobs.” Link

Republicans should avoid these embarrassing contradictions by simply pretending that Obama hates everyone.

Does the Buffet Rule apply to the Obamas?

No, it does not. The tax rate increase would only apply to millionaires, and the Obamas are not; more importantly, however, is the fact that President Obama proposes raising taxes (letting Bush's tax cuts) for earners of $250,000. The Obamas would suffer from Obama's proposal, while Republicans (ironically attacking Obama for not increasing his own tax rates) do not want Obama to raise his own taxes.

In Conclusion, Republicans making the weak Buffet-rule-does-not-apply-to-the-President argument are hypocrites.

2012 Chevrolet Volt rated as safe as the 2012 Toyota Camry

The car-review website Car Connection rates cars on many categories. In the Safety category, both the 2012 Chevy Volt (demonized by oil-loving right-wingers as unsafe) is given a 9 out of 10 rating. The reviewers add that the Volt "ranks among the safest cars on the market, period." In comparison, the Toyota Camry gets an identical 9 out of 10. Do not hold your breath waiting for Blogosphere, MSM and Twitter conservatives who love Big-oil profits to trash the Camry as unsafe.

Conservatives too dumb to realize the Chevy Volt has a 100 mph maximum speed

On Twitter, conservatives are spreading the falsehood that the Chevy Volt (electric/gasoline car) runs no faster than 70mph. No sources are cited of course, because real research would reveal that its maximum speed is 100 mph. Twitter member @jamieradtke has been a leading BS artist in this regard. See her tweeting about the false maximum speed here: https://twitter.com/#!/jamieradtke/status/188787112118726656

Conservatives know nothing about the Keystone Pipeline

As you may know, conservatives often pretend that President Obama blocked the Keystone Pipeline that will increase oil production; but this is simply not true. According to the independent website Factcheck.org,

...Obama hasn’t “blocked” it. The Keystone’s sponsor says it expects the White House to approve the northern leg, from Hardisty, Alberta, to Steele City, Nebraska, in 2013, after it submits an application for a new route around Nebraska’s environmentally sensitive Sandhills region. Meanwhile, it is going ahead with the southern portion, which Obama has endorsed, ordering agencies to expedite permitting. 

 So there you have it. Conservatives/Republicans are full of shit, don't know anything about the Keystone Pipeline. They lack research skills because they're lazy.

Witness: Police changed my testimony

It has gone largely unnoticed that on March 13th, ABC News that a witness (long-time teacher) told a police officer that a teen  (Trayvon Martin) cried for help in a struggle with a man (Zimmerman). The police office responded by correcting the witness, stating that it was Zimmerman, not Trayvon Martin, who cried for help. Link to ABC News story.

Twitter lie: Gas is up 33% in in the last month

A conservative in Twitter claimed today that "Gas is up 33% in one month." This is one more piece of disinformation spread by a conservative in Twitter, tagged in the "Tcot" hashtag. In fact, gas average is, as I compose this post, up 7% from last month ($3.89 per gallon now vs. $3.65 a month ago). Link to the true statistics.
