I was just watching Bill O'Romney - the Spin Starts Here - and I felt as if had fallen through the looking-glass. Bill O'Romney was making a qualitative comparison argument, comparing (1) today, Obama's "requesting" more authority to 'down size government' - his very ambitious plan to cut three billion (with a B) dollars from the federal budget over ten years. He proposed do so by killing a few jobs by attrition (so when someone dies or retires no one is hired to replace them.) to (2) Mitt Romney's corporate cannibalizing of American Companies using foreign capital. Bill kept making the comparison over and over, labeling both mere "downsizing, to save the company" while the two shills, Bill hires to look stupid, stared at him blankly for most of the segment.
Let us make the comparison - Obama proposed to terminate NO persons, to lay off or fire NO persons.
A three billion dollar cut to the federal budget over ten years amounts to about 1/10th of 1/10000th of the federal budget. (read no cut at all.) What a cynical con the proposal is! - since the three billion is taken not by lowering spending, but merely by reducing the increase. When compared to the 4 trillion (with a T) Dollars Obama has capriciously wasted in the last three years his political gesture is beyond cynical. If half the American population wasn't stupid, he would never get away with such a charade. But like cousin Herman Cain rightly said, "Stupid people are ruining our country." This was the story and deserves to be told, but what did Bill O'Romney do? He claimed that Obama's pretend cuts and Romney destruction of American Companies were equally GOOD things.
Were Romney's actions moral? Truly cutting the Federal Budget would be moral, if accomplished from a basis of morality. Mitt fired tens if not hundreds of thousands of workers, (when you ad the small businesses dependent upon the employees of the larger businesses for revenue.) Romney shut down factory operations that were the life line of some American towns, and the employee's got pink slips while he made hundreds of millions for himself and billions for foreign investors. Romney, probably made much, much more. My guess, a suspicion based upon the fact that he won't release his tax records and it is confirmed he has overseas banking accounts.
What is there to compare? This was a TOTAL Propaganda piece and shames O'Reilly and Fox News. It also exposes the lengths to which they will go to try to secure the Republican nomination for Mitt Romney.
