The actor was taking a lunch break on Wednesday while shooting “Lincoln,” Steven Spielberg’s film about the life and times of the president.
Wow.
Infographic: The Obama Economy - By The Numbers
I mostly consider myself a libertarian and I was inspired to create the infographic out of a general frustration with the current economic environment. While I don’t solely blame President Obama for this, I do believe his policies have lengthened (and in many ways worsened) this downturn. Although the infographic is implicitly critical of President Obama, I wanted to avoid opinions and evaluate the hard numbers set against statements and promises he has made in the past.

Been making the rounds.
Empirically, pretty damning.
Recall:
If I don’t have this done in three years, then there’s going to be a one-term proposition.
— Barack Obama, 2009

Video: Tim Pawlenty pounds the president’s empty podium in best ad of his campaign
Experience Matters
Very good.
Governor Pawlenty should be on the GOP ticket somewhere. He’s smart. Pragmatic. Proven.
His term as Governor illustrates his record on economic issues, but have a listen or read the transcript from his interview with the Council on Foreign Relations in June here: ( audio / transcript ).
His clarity is refreshing. Leave the nuance and platitudes to the amateurs and pretend leaders.
Iowa Straw Poll this Saturday. Tim has not been generating the “excitement” that some of the other candidates have, but after 2008, how ‘bout we vote substance over style this time around, mkay?
No More College Sophomores Senators for President.

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, and comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.
President Theodore Roosevelt
