Bombshell story in Vanity Fair’s August issue

Bev:

Lets face it, “Mittens” is not his father’s son. The rest of the nation is too afraid of a black man in the White House. Here is a neat article by Matt over at Slate. http://www.slate.com/articles/business/small_business/2012/07/nfib_is_wrong_on_obamacare_the_aca_should_actually_help_small_business.html?wp_login_redirect=0

Apparently the “future’s so bright,”…. we all gotta wear fake shades? Sorry, couldn’t help myself.

ZZZZZZZtt!

Now, THAT would be cool!

Yeah, on both points.  Mitt is the UN-George Romney.  And Yglesias’s article is terrific.  I posted a comment there saying that, well, now, if only the Obama campaign would make these points in a series of ads ….

I suggested that one ad should feature a real current small-business owner saying how excited he or she is that, soon, his/her small business will be able to offer healthcare insurance to its employees.  Another ad should feature someone who expresses excitement at the thought of soon being able to leave his or her current emplyment and start his or her own business and still have medical insurance for the family. (For the second one, the person might have to disguise himself, though, so as to not risk losing his current job.)  I said that the Obama folks say they want to switch the focus away from healthcare ans back to the economy and Romney’s credentials on it and plans for it–but that ads like these, making the points Yglesias made, ARE about the economy (jobs, jobs, jobs).

Interestingly the NYT has an editorial today epxressing dismay and anger that the Obama people apparenty has decided, just as they did in 2010, that they should not bother to explain it–cuz, y;know, that strategy worked so well in 2009 and 2010.  

Good work, btw, on ferriting through the ACA and figuring out what it actually provides, run.  I’m sure a lot of AB readers will appreciate that.

The combined $42 million in income for 10/11 is a spectacular return on $250million.  Perhaps he liquidated some assets but as pure income from investment for those years he hit it out of the park.  

I stongly suspect that his worth is well north of that $250 million. 

In his defese there is no telling what the Bush family fortune is. Three generations of combining government and business have certainly lead to a huge fortune but the layers and layers interlocking corporations, many shell ones, and other funds is impenetrable.

Romney must be confused, he thinks his last name is Kennedy. I hope he doesn’t drive an intern off of a bridge.

Dan:

Suddenly, I feel inadequate.
