Romney's EXTREMELY poor grasp of basic economics

They might also look into the current value of the Obama/Resco mansion in Chitown.

It will cost the US taxpayer a fortune to secure it once he is out of office.  I figure the friends of Osama are waiting until he is out of Washington to pay them a midnight visit.

I doubt they will ever get a sound nights sleep worrying about every little sound in the night and wondering if it is a Jihadist looking to settle the score.

One of your best, if not your best post yet.

Thank you. I am learning you guys.  

I still think the book deals were a scam just to get him recognition.  He was a nobody without a particular interesting or original story, yet he had to books before he ever accomplished anything.  Sounds like a set up for a Manchurian Candidate.

obama didn't even write his book. Bill Ayers did ...

Bill Ayers Admits For Second Time He Wrote Obama's 'Dreams From My Father'

 For the second time in less than eighteen months, domestic terrorist Bill Ayers admitted he wrote Barack Obama's book "Dreams From My Father."

This time, it was recorded on videotape as he was speaking last Thursday at Montclair State University (video follows with partial transcript and commentary):

UNKNOWN QUESTIONER: Time magazine columnist Joe Klein wrote that President Obama’s book “Dreams From My Father” quote “may be the best written memoir ever produced by an American politician.”

BILL AYERS: I agree with that.

QUESTIONER: What is your opinion of Barack Obama’s style as a writer?

AYERS: I think the first book is very good. The second one was more of a political hack book, but the first book’s quite good.

QUESTIONER: Right, and also, you mentioned about the Pentagon and…

AYERS: Did you know I wrote it?

QUESTIONER: What’s that?

AYERS: I wrote “Dreams From My Father.”

CROWD: We know that.

QUESTIONER: You wrote that?

AYERS: Yeah, and if you could help me prove it, I’ll split the royalties with you.

From the transcript, it sounds like he's making a joke of the whole thing: "I wrote the book and didn't get a penny in return!!"

Ayers should have known better, since they were neighbors and all; O never gives credit to the person who actually does a thing, not when he thinks the credit will make O look better.

Bill O'reilly was saying last night? That he also believes that Ayers did write it.

Here is another article on it.

Romney hasn't lost anything on the purchase of that real Estate, he is not selling it.  He does stand to save a busload on real estate taxes though due to the depressed value of the property.

To which the DUmmies will whine and carry on about how Romney isn't paying enough in property taxes.

Obammy is whining Romney only paid 14% in 2010, most likely less than I did.

I wanna know, going by this ODUmmie math, where the 2.8+ odd million came from that I supposedly paid?

Ayers didn't write that book. He didn't make it, he didn't build it. Someone else did that.

What were the DUmmies saying about John 'F'n' Kerry docking his yacht, er, I mean his wife's yacht, in another state to avoid the taxes?

Like property taxes EVER go down, even in CA. Having owned a house there it's a hell of a lot better deal to hold onto a place forever because the assesed value can't increase by more than 2 pct a year bjt relies more on rolling over properties and new construction to get the big bucks rolling in.  And in Ca unlike here, assesed value almost NEVER goes down, even if the price takes a huge dump.

Yep, when we bought our house in CA the taxes on the house doubled when we bought it. The previous owners lived in the house 17 years and had totally remodeled the house.

To expand:  When we bought the house the assessment was based on OUR purchase price of the house, minus exemptions (about 10K.)  So basically until we sold it in 2006, the assessed value (and taxes) increased about 2 percent every year.  When we sold the house at nearly double the price for which we purchased it, the new owner got nailed for HIS purchase price--meaning the taxes went from about $4K/year under us to $8K/year, and when the housing market tanked, people are still paying taxes on homes that assessed for 30-40 percent above what they're worth.

Oh, sure--you can go to the county and apply for relief.  Good luck getting it.

Granted, property taxes in NH suck, but at least the property is assessed every five years (max.) and tax rates adjusted to meet budgetary requirements.  I never liked how CA did it--send all the money to the county, who sends it to Sacramento, who then tells the cities/counties how much they're going to get.
