WSJ:

President Obama has received yet another endorsement, this time from the daughter of Cuban military dictator Raúl Castro. Mariela Castro proclaimed her support for the sitting president 10 days ago, during a visit to the United States. "I believe that Obama needs another opportunity and he needs greater support to move forward with his projects and with his ideas, which I believe come from the bottom of his heart," she said in a CNN interview in New York.

There you have it folks. If that is not enough of a red flag, I don't know what is.

LOL. Even Obama's supporters don't think he did a good job in his first 4 years.

Who gives a shit? One's opinion of Mitt Romney shouldn't change if he gets endorsed by a zealot that makes him look bad, nor should the actions of some inconsequential cuban effect my opinion of Barack.

The day the USD is no longer the reserve currency, that day, I'll mind my business.

Your huge debt is causing the mad men at the FED to print tons of USD's, which in turn is causing my gas and food prices to go up, i.e. my standard of living is going down.

Well good thing you're keeping an eye on the relatives of the leaders of third world island nations then. Gotta watch that standard of living.

Well it's important since Obama will get reelected. You have the daughter of a communist dictator, who share the views of her father, that just cosigned the views of your president/commander in chief.

That gives me a clear (more than ever) indication of what to expect in the next 4 years.

And Iran is filled with Republicans. In 2004, they came out for Bush; 2008 they came out for McCain. FLDS members will probably be voting for Romney. There are a lot of crazy people out there and 98% of the country votes for one of two people.

Obama should reject or ignore the endorsement and move on.

Actually, gas prices are going down in USD terms because gasoline tracks the Euro on some level.

If you're angry about gas prices, talk to Greece. I'm angry too. I think oil is worth $150/barrel, and those darned Greeks are pushing prices down to $90 because of panic over a European recession.

Talk to them about gold prices too. Gold has dropped from $1850/oz to $1600. I want it to go to $2000, but foolish Canadian and European foreigners keep stocking up on USD faster than the fed can print.

Oh well, thank you for funding our welfare state. Inflation is always the biggest tax, so thanks for helping us out.

Work hard, play hard.

Don't know about you, but I'm currently paying a little over $5.00 a gallon.

And with all the money printing, oil prices have nowhere to go but up.

o really?

Under Obama, the FED’s Holdings of U.S. Debt Have Jumped 452%. From $302 billion in 2009 to $1.668 trillion in april 2012.

The FED is doing most of the buying in those phony auctions.

The fed is buying the bonds

The fed is buying the bonds and printing USD to pay for them. If there wasn't more demand for than supply of USD, we'd be losing value against other currencies. Instead we are going up. We need to exploit the idiocy of foreigners and their central banks. Let's print some more USD and buy the Orinoco oil belt from Venezuela ala the Alaska purchase, then send some troops down there to defend it.

Chavez gets some much needed funds, the US becomes a net oil exporter, and we can tell the Saudis to shove it. Now our military can focus on propping up democratic regimes rather than trade partners.

Work hard, play hard.
