Op-ed:

Wrong priorities...silly me

By: Diane Sori

Here I am in a hotel in upstate New York with NO FOX News, just the liberal leaning Obama-loving CNN and Bloomberg News channels.  What’s a conservative to do...turn on the local area news just to get away from the Obama controlled networks.

Boy was I in for a shock.

The lead story on the local news early this morning was Mitt Romney made his face appear darker to appeal to the Hispanic vote!  Thought I’d need a ‘bamabag.’ 

The world and our beloved country is going to hell in a hand basket and the news is concerned that either someone put a bit too much stage make-up on Mitt or here’s a unique thought...he has a tan from being out in the sun campaigning.

Now I know just how low the Obama controlled lamesteam media will go to try and discredit the man who stands a very good chance of sending this usurping traitor packing.

Never mind that our economy is still basically stalled with growth being reported as a miserly 1.5% annual rate in the second quarter...never mind that the federal debt has now overtaken our entire GDP, leading to a first ever credit rating downgrade, rising inflation, and social safety nets going completely broke within the next 20 years... never mind that unemployment is still at over 8% for over 41 straight months...never mind that millions of Americans are out of work with the official unemployment rate at 8.1% but that number leaves out the millions who have either dropped out of the labor force altogether or can’t find full-time work...never mind that a broader measure accounting for these numbers, the U-6, is at 14.5%...never mind that the labor force participation rate which measures the share of working-age people currently working, has sunk to 64.3%, the lowest since 1981 (according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics)...never mind that this means 86 million people are ‘invisible unemployed’ (according to the Labor Department.)...never mind that Obama has basically given amnesty to 800,000 ILLEGALS who will now take even more jobs away from LEGAL Americans..

Never mind that according to the Survey of Income and Program Participation conducted by the U.S. Census, well over 100 million Americans are enrolled in at least one welfare program run by the federal government including 46.37 million who receive benefits through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (food stamps)...never mind that that number has increased from about 17 million in 2000 to 31.9 million when Obama took office to 46.4 million today...never mind the number of Americans on Medicaid grew from 34 million in 2000 to 54 million by the end of 2011, growing from 1 in 50 in 1965 to about one-sixth of the entire country today...

Never mind that ObamaCare is the mother lode of all taxes on the middle class...

Never mind that the Mid-East is on fire based on a lie about a joke of a YouTube movie trailer...never mind that the full of hope Arab Spring has morphed into a full blown disaster of an Arab Winter...never mind that Mid-East countries like Egypt who once called us friend now call us the enemy...never mind that the President of the United States has deliberately and with malice snubbed Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of Israel...never mind that our closest ally and friend, Israel, is surrounded by those out to wipe her off the map as our president caters to those who want to do this...never mind that the blood of Ambassador Christopher Stevens and the others is on both Obama’s and Hillary’s hands because needed help was asked for by Stevens but turned down by both...never mind that our Marines guarding our embassies have rubber bullets to use as defense...

Never mind that the most dangerous lunatic of all, Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, wants a nuclear bomb for supposed ‘peaceful purposes’ as he aims his rockets at both Israel and US interests while Obama looks away in support of his muslim brethren..

.

And never mind that Mitt Romney speaks the truth about all this because the big news for today is that his face looks darker than usual.

Guess I have my priorities wrong...so says Barack HUSSEIN Obama and the lamestream media.

As always, November 6th can't come soon enough for me.
