Currency Manipulators
There’s not much daylight between the candidates when it comes to protectionism either. Romney complained about Chinese currency manipulation in the debate. Obama one upped him by bragging …”Now with respect to what we’ve done with China already, U.S. exports have doubled since I came into office, to China and actually currencies are at their most advantageous point for U.S. exporters since 1993″.
Here is James Grant, of Grants Interest Rate Observer, on Bloomberg last August saying the Fed needs to get out of the central planning business.
Udate: Here’s Mary Anastasia O’Grady in Mondays WSJ on Ben Bernanke: Currency Manipulator.
Daylight
Governor Romney followed President Obama’s lead on foreign policy during much of the presidential debate Monday night. The president seemed dismayed by this, especially when Mitt stepped on his toes on the issue of “daylight between the U.S. and Israel”.
I was dismayed to miss Monday Night Football and game 7 of the NLCS.
Acts of Terror
After sincerely mentioning “acts of terror” in the rose garden, the president went on “The View” with and sincerely mentioned he was “eye candy”.
Hillary Took a Great Fall
In the vice presidential debate, Biden said “we weren’t told” that diplomats in Libya had requested increased security before the Benghazi attack. On Tuesday Hillary blamed the failure on “the fog of war” but accepted responsibility. Meanwhile, Bill is campaigning for Obama. Is he hoping that by 2016, he can put Hillary back together again?
Benghazi Big Bird
Obama has been claiming that since he killed Bin Laden he has “al Qaeda on its heels”. CBS News” Lara Logan says otherwise. When Ambassador Chris Stevens was murdered in a military style terror attack on 9/11, Obama blamed it on a movie. What really has him sputtering mad are Romney’s “lies” and attacks on public broadcasting.
