Henninger: Obama’s Maddening, Winning Speech
It’s been a positive week for Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, as he appears to have turned the tides since his crushing South Carolina primary loss to Newt Gingrich, now surging to the top of polls in Florida before the state’s Republican primary today. While Florida polls show Romney defeating the visibly furious Gingrich and the other remaining Republican candidates, several other polls show that the bruising last few weeks may have hurt the former Massachusetts governor on a broader scale of the electorate. A Washington Post-ABC News poll released Tuesday shows that 40 percent of those surveyed find Romney’s work in the private sector unfavorable, 35 percent favorable, 25 percent had no opinion. Greg Sargent of the Post notes that the polling team also says “that among non-college whites — a key swing consistency that is one of the main targets of the battle over Romney’s corporate past and taxes — 35 percent view his Bain work favorably, versus 38 percent who view it unfavorably. Among moderates, the numbers are 32-39.” A separate WashingtonPost-Pew Research Center poll released Monday shows that 39 percent of registered voters see Romney connecting at least “fairly well” with the problems of average Americans, as oppose to 55 percent for President Obama. In yet another poll, this time conducted by NBC/WSJ last week , Romney’s negatives appeared to be spiking 20 points among independent voters over the last two months. While the former Massachusetts governor may be happy with a recent USA/Today Gallup poll having Romney neck and neck with Obama in swing states , and a key win in Florida tonight is likely to put him back in the drivers seat for the Republican nomination, the Romney campaign should be less celebratory than they were following the New Hampshire primary victory. If he were to become the nominee, Romney’s campaign has their work ahead of them to repair their candidate’s public image following what has been an extremely arduous primary race.

Chevy Volt is “safe”: U.S. regulators ended an investigation into why Chevrolet Volt electric cars caught fire, and said electric vehicles do not pose a greater risk of fire, according to Bloomberg. The conclusion by the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration came two weeks after General Motors Co. told owners to bring the vehicles to dealerships for repair. “Based on the available data , NHTSA does not believe that Chevy Volts or other electric vehicles pose a greater risk of fire than gasoline-powered vehicles,” the agency said in an e- mailed statement today. EU vs Iran: The European Union formally adopted an oil embargo against Iran on Monday and froze the assets of Iran’s central bank, part of sanctions to pressure Tehran into resuming talks on its controversial nuclear program. Two Iranian lawmakers, stepped up threats that their country would shutter the strategic Strait of Hormuz, through which a fifth of the world’s crude flows, in retaliation for the EU oil sanctions on Tehran. Lawmaker Mohammad Ismail Kowsari, deputy head of Iran’s influential committee on national security, said Monday the strait “would definitely be closed if the sale of Iranian oil is violated in any way.” Tensions over the strait and the potential impact its closure would have on global oil supplies and the price of crude have weighed heavily on consumers and traders. Both the U.S. and Britain have warned Iran not to disrupt the world’s oil supply. Many analysts doubt that Iran could set up a blockade for long, but any supply shortages would cause world oil supplies to tighten temporarily. For its part, the United States has enacted, but not yet put into force, sanctions targeting Iran’s central bank and, by extension, the country’s ability to be paid for its oil.

You know, that’s the thing about progressives: When they encounter some embarrassing, incriminating facts, they lash out in anger and denial, and try to twist reality to conform to their demented views — views marinated and metastasized under their sick revolutionary progressive ideology. Racist Repsac3 has a big butthurt post whining about how he’s not really a racist anti-Semitic Jew-basher, despite endorsing a movement that was founded on property expropriation, revolution, and anti-Jewish and anti-Israel eliminationism. In fact, racist Walter James Casper spouts lies to cover up for his endorsement of the hate: The movement is about income inequality, joblessness, and ways to make the system (financial, and electoral) more fair. Money is not speech. Corporations are not people. Equitable taxation, where everyone above poverty wages pays their fair share on all they earn. The people should have more political power and access than those who can pay for it. Politicians and their votes shouldn’t be for sale. God, that’s so bad I don’t even know where to start. But first, to reiterate, it’s a lie. Walter James Casper III is lying again, attempting to blow a smokescreen over his extreme radical agenda, his live and let live, if it feels good do it, anti-capitalist, anti-American, anti-Israel revolutionary program. I’ve documented the facts here many times, and racist anti-Semite Walter James Casper III deliberately avoids the truth because he cannot answer for the hate. Progressive hate. Walter James Casper III is the epitome of the exterminationist, big-lie neo-commie hate-filled progressive. But let’s review: Recall that the origins of Occupy predate the Zuccotti Park mobilization by at least a couple of years, and I’ve covered much of that here at the blog. See my report from last month, ” On the Origins of the Occupy Movement .” The initial Occupy mobilizations were explicitly revolutionary, advocating militant collective action. They were not about this stupid “money is not speech” bullshit. Occupy is working to destroy capital altogether. The militants were about occupying the capitalist occupiers and expropriating the capitalist expropriators. Idiot racist Repsac3 stupidly parrots the Rachel Maddow talking points. It’s f-king embarrassing. Sheesh. Now, setting aside the original occupations, let’s continue with New York’s Occupy Wall Street. Recall that the impetus for the New York action is found in the agitation of
