POLAND - President Barack Obama’s re-election campaign tour bus will swing through the Valley this week, and he will make a tour stop Friday, speaking at a local school here, his camp announced Tuesday.
The stop at Dobbins Elementary School is part of the president’s two-day, ”Betting on America” bus tour, which starts Thursday in Maumee, in northwest Ohio, and crosses northern Ohio with a series of grassroots campaign stops and an ice cream social in Sandusky.
Poland’s visit will be the fourth and final stop in the state before the president heads to Pennsylvania to speak at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh.
Ticket information for the visit in Poland will be released later.
According to Obama camp officials, the president will talk about the work he has done to improve the economy, ”doubling down” on American workers by rescuing the automobile industry and investments in manufacturing.

Well, that’s embarrassing ….. my first reaction was: Why is his bus going to eastern Europe? :oops:
Thanks Jovie, happy 4th of July!
East Germany?
Ha, right a bit - Poland!!
The President has to go through- Checkpoint Charlie.
:lol: Sounds like that bus is seriously lost!
LOL!
Okay Chipsticks, be careful, you know some crazy ass right wingers were reporting that the President was in Paris campaigning, if they see that about Poland, they will be saying he’s in Poland. And some of those idiots would believe it.
:lol: I doubt they even know where Poland is, Anniebella.
Happy 4th everybody. I’m sitting at home absolutely bored out of my gourd. today is final day off of my 7. tomorrow it’s back to work. have a great day!
Go see Spiderman!!
Pres. Obama is looking fresh and well rested. :)
I noticed CNN did not broadcast this event, but they cannot wait for Willards Parade. Every 15 minutes they give us an update in Wolfeboro.
This was a nice event.
Yeah, they were late. Better late than never. This is a very nice event.
I’m all choked up! Active duty military members who fight everyday for our freedoms are now becoming Americans. I LOVE this country. For all our problems and partisanship, we’re the BEST country due to our love of diversity, equality, justice, and fairness. There’s no other place I’d rather live. We are a nation of immigrants and we are PROUD of it.
(Ireland’s way better ……. /runs for hills)
You better run for the hills! Before the squirrel on Rooney’s head comes after you.
Good Morning Everyone!
I’m so thrilled to be able to watch my President speaking at this ceremony this morning! God Bless America!!
HowardKurtz @HowardKurtz
Romney vacation pix important not just because he’s relaxing with family, but enable people to imagine him as president
He’s getting some pushback on that one.
How ridiculous
So according to this guy who works for TeaNN think that showing vacation pictures of Mitt Romney relaxing with his family, enable people to imagine him as president. That is so dam stupid. Hay Americans forget all about Mitt Romney policies and what he stands for, just look at the families pictures and that will ease your mind about him being president. Let me send Kurtz a email.
Yes anniebella, thanks…..I sent him a tweet already…….
ChristiMtl @ChristiMtl
@HowardKurtz You’re right, for a moment I forgot that he’s a tax evader, pathological liar and war mongering draft dodger.
This is the guy that critiques the media. Pathetic!
I’m bringing this op-ed that jovie posted from the previous thread over. This is a good one to be shared.
Editor, the Gazette:
President Obama is focused on getting more Americans back to work, putting more money into the pockets of those who are working and creating an economy that’s built to last. That’s why the president’s jobs plan would put first responders on the streets and teachers in the classrooms.
Republican Mitt Romney recently made out-of-touch comments that we don’t need more teachers, firefighters and police officers. It’s a good reminder that he has a track record of cutting important public-sector jobs.

That was a short and sweet naturalization ceremony. Tell me, do you always have to renounce any other citizenship or does that apply solely to active duty members?
I am not certain. I had a friend who became a citizen about ten years ago and he said he had to give up his citizenship from his birth country….then I hear of other people who have duo citizenship so I don’t know if the rules changed.
In my ceremony in 2009, I had to pledge an oath to the United States, but did not have to surrender my Canadian passport. So my allegiance is to the United States, but I have dual citizenship as I have 2 passports. If, however, I leave the US on my Canadian passport, and return to the US using my US passport, I will lose my US citizenship. You have to use the same passport in and out of the US. We always use our US passports, saves confusion.
Good to know, Betsy. Do you also enter Canada on your US passport? I’m doing research ;) . It suddenly occurred to me yesterday as I was talking to Theo, that while visiting in Texas I could have my father request US citizenship for me. With my Chips-like charm, I could then encourage the powers that be to expedite the process so that I could vote in November. ;) ;) ;) Hearing the pledge today I got the idea that I’d have to give up my Canadian citizenship - no can do. Don’t like American media, or the American illiterati.
My friend became a naturalized citizen in early 1996 so that he could vote for President Clinton. He had to surrender his birth countrys’ passport also. But they must have changed the rules because I hear of so many who have since become natuarlized citizens that have been able to keep their birth countrys’ passports. I don’t understand why you would want to have both….maybe someone can explan. He made copies of his old passport but I forgot what he told me…there was a reason just in case something happened here he could go back to being a ciziten or get benefits from his birth country.
That’s exactly why I asked. I thought Americans were allowed dual citizenship until I listened to the pledge of allegiance, which also seemed to me to be heavy on the idea of defending the country. Of course repubs being so fussy about exceptionalism, I’m not really surprised that newcomers might be asked to renounce all others. In fact, makes me wonder if that’s one reason friends/extended family of mine living in the States for years do not pursue citizenship.
Yes you do. You do have to renounce any other citizenship. I attended a few naturalization ceremonies this year you do have to renounce it. Dual citizenship was not an option.
Decisions. Decisions. Seriously, the thought just flashed into my mind because of a conversation I was involved in. Truth is, tho I’m [addictively -???] interested in U.S. politics during PBO’s term I’ve never had a desire to live there. I enjoy and appreciate those Americans I’ve met, but there are just too many other loud U. S. whack jobs floating around, and I do believe I’m allergic to noise, as well as to guns. ;)
That was so beautiful!! Happy 4th!!
Good news, hiring levels remain high in June: http://thepoliticalcarnival.net/2012/07/04/gallup-u-s-hiring-steady-in-june-at-four-year-high/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter
Lord I would have cried through the whole ceremony. Just reading your tweets makes me well up. Thanks, UT. I missed the ceremony.
WASHINGTON — After a month in which some prominent Democrats openly questioned President Obama’s campaign strategy, the mood at the White House has risen, with strategists believing their efforts to define Mitt Romney as a corporate outsourcing specialist are proving a success with swing voters.
http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-na-obama-holiday-20120704,0,2551409.story
All these armchair strategists and pundits think they know it all. Never ever underestimate PBO.
I watched the President’s remarks on MSNBC. Then that young Marine came up to recite the pledge of allegiance. I can’t remember last time I cried watching someone do that. Hard to type when you can’t see.
He was so nervous he forgot to put his hand over his heart. Oooops!!
I loved the ceremony. So incredibly inspiring.
(CNN) — Former presidential candidate Tim Pawlenty and Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal will go to Ohio and Pennsylvania later this week at the same time President Barack Obama travels through both states on a bus tour, a campaign official for Mitt Romney said Tuesday.
As part of a bracketing strategy, the official said both surrogates will be on Romney’s campaign bus, making stops Thursday and Friday in “several of the same areas” as Obama “to make sure the Romney message gets out.”
– Follow the Ticker on Twitter: @PoliticalTicker
– Check out the CNN Electoral Map and Calculator and game out your own strategy for November.
The two are considered to be potential running mates for the presumptive GOP presidential nominee. Pawlenty has made several campaign appearances for Romney, while Jindal has expressed his support in interviews and conference calls with reporters.
Obama’s campaign and Democratic groups took a similar strategy when Romney had his own bus tour through several rust-belt states last month.
WTF???
TeaNN, I don’t give a darn what TeaNN says. No respect for that right wing network at all.
Give me a freaking break!? The guy who is less exciting than mayonnaise and the Indian Kenneth from 30 Rock. The only people that believe this crap makes a difference is the moronic MSM.
less exciting than mayonnaise lol
At one time Jindal thought Rick Perry of all people would be a better president than Willard.
Pawlenty and Jindal will be fortunate to draw triple digit crowds.
“to make sure the Romney message gets out.”
I’m sorry but this made me smile because it is so true. Willard & Co are reinforcing the message of who he is - a not very creative FOLLOWER, and I do hope the message gets out..
Because, it is not Obama!

That’s a good way to put it..thx, amk!
Of course, MSNBainC says nice event but…, quit politicizing such a nice event with talk of immigration reform. How dare He!
Sigh!
I liked every bit of this Ceremony, but this Kid anchor is terrible. LOL!
I just made reservation on my Birthday, to go Camping in Ashley NC, in mid August.
I can’t wait. I need to see some Mountains, or I will go bezerk!
August? Are you a Leo? TeamLeos!
Duly noted, Jovie!!
But I gotta ask, what kind of weather in August?
Hot! I got a Cabin with AC and cable tv. I am bringing my Dog.
Jovie, I don’t know,….. this has me questioning your sanity. Camping? …Well at least you have the good sense to go for an AC cabin as opposed to a tent. Ah well, different strokes for different folks! Have a great time when anticipating the experience.
did PBO say “yay” at the ceremony? lol
yes—loved it!—Yay! with a podium slap for extra emphasis!
Oh Oh…just another indication as to why Mitt won’t release his tax returns. I honestly believe our campaign is working the refs behind the scenes. This is a big deal IMO.
Mystery Bermuda-based company and other undisclosed Romney assets hint at larger wealth
WASHINGTON — For nearly 15 years, Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney’s financial portfolio has included an offshore company that remained invisible to voters as his political star rose.
Based in Bermuda, Sankaty High Yield Asset Investors Ltd. was not listed on any of Romney’s state or federal financial reports. The company is among several Romney holdings that have not been fully disclosed, including one that recently posted a $1.9 million earning — suggesting he could be wealthier than the nearly $250 million estimated by his campaign.

I read that earlier, no kidding it’s a big deal, it’s huge!
As far as his investments
Can he use the excuse he had during the primary? blind trust, that he had no control over his investments.
Well of course he made a comment in 94 that it was a big ruse…
Also things like this
”In an astonishing coincidence, Ann Romney’s blind trust managed to invest $10 million in Tagg Romney’s hedge fund: ”
we know it’s a big fat lie but I don’t see any other reason he can give…….
Tweet CNN, ask them why aren’t the reporting on this?
It’s like asking me to tweet Fox…..!…
Cool!!

Such depth of thought, Justin! :roll:
It is sickeningly hot here in “Ill-i-noise” for what seems like the 100th straight day of record temps and no rain. I just watered my parched flower lovelies in record time, before I collapsed and caused an undue commotion on the 4th for the neighborhood. Dumb Golf Nut Mr. Dotster stupidly set out for the golf course in some sort of self-punishing endurance test. As a good wifey unit (amk), I kindly reminded him to drink lots of water in order to give him the best chance for survival. He assured that he always has water in the cart. I then told him, as teacher to student, that the trick is to not just have it with him but to drink it! which he often forgets to do. Hope he makes it. Otherwise—-it would really wreck my 4th.
Kinda ironic isn’t it that you fainted due to lack of following your own advice and the hubby unit (now you see how the wifey unit came about) gets the hammer ? :)
In a stop in his hometown of Scranton, Pa., Vice President Biden stopped by a Little League baseball field from his own childhood.
“I’m so old I played the first game ever played on this field,” Biden told the Green Ridge All-Star team.
Biden said he spent that game on the bench, but was part of the team. He told the team that he was a little league shortstop but switched to centerfield in high school.
The team gave Biden a baseball signed by the players — and Biden promised to put it in his office in Washington.
“When you guys come down to visit, I’ll show it to you,” Biden said.
“It means a lot to them to see the vice president at their home ballfield, the same field that he played on as a child,” the team’s assistant coach said. “This is a moment they will remember for the rest of their lives.”
Happy 4th of July TOD. HOPE you all have a glorious day! Arizona had rain yesterday and today. YIPPIE!
It rained? Where:) I want it to POUR!!!
Come on over to the NW side. It sprinkled yesterday and rained this morning. My friend tells me it is raining overon herside of town, 44th and Indian School.

Wow, huge crowd with Mitt at parade. NOT.
:lol: Must be, ooooh, 250,000 there Meta?
All the front rows seem to paid campaign peeps. That little gal in his arms seem to be pulling her hair apart. :)
The several rows are his kids, grandkids, their spouses, etc. After that, who knows.
she just had her face shoved in her breakfast cereal so she’s the only kid not looking forward to ice cream later.

The biggest players in this system have, like Romney, made their profits placing big bets with other people’s money. If the bets go well, the players make out like bandits. If they go badly, the burden lands on average workers and taxpayers.
* * *
The fortunes raked in by financial dealmakers depend on special goodies baked into the tax code such as “carried interest,” which allows Romney and other partners in private-equity firms (as well as in many venture-capital and hedge funds) to treat their incomes as capital gains taxed at a maximum of 15 percent. This is how Romney managed to pay an average of 14 percent on more than $42 million of combined income in 2010 and 2011. But the carried-interest loophole makes no economic sense. Conservatives try to justify the tax code’s generous preference for capital gains as a reward to risk-takers—but Romney and other private-equity partners risk little, if any, of their personal wealth. They mostly bet with other investors’ money, including the pension savings of average working people
