    To be fair, the Pentagon should get a fuckton of cuts. The only thing that should be sacred right now is Digital Defense programs.

    Romney Adviser Says Obama Doesn’t ‘Fully Appreciate’ Our ‘Anglo-Saxon Heritage’
    By Judd Legum on Jul 24, 2012 at 9:57 pm
    An adviser to Mitt Romney told a London paper that Obama has not been an effective partner for Britain because he doesn’t “fully appreciate” America’s “Anglo-Saxon heritage.” The racially tinged comments come hours before Romney lands in London for a series of high level meetings and the opening of the Olympic Games.
    Jon Swaine of the Daily Telegraph has the story:
    In remarks that may prompt accusations of racial insensitivity, one suggested that Mr Romney was better placed to understand the depth of ties between the two countries than Mr Obama, whose father was from Africa.
    “We are part of an Anglo-Saxon heritage, and he feels that the special relationship is special,” the adviser said of Mr Romney, adding: “The White House didn’t fully appreciate the shared history we have.”
    The comments were the latest attack by the Romney campaign on Obama’s multi-cultural heritage. Last week, Romney campaign co-chair John Sununu said Obama didn’t understand the “American system” because he “spent his early years in Hawaii smoking something, spent the next set of years in Indonesia.” Sununu also said Obama needed to “learn how to be an American.” (Sununu later apologized for that remark.) Later that day Romney called Obama’s policies “extraordinarily foreign.”
    UPDATE
    Romney is denying the report: “‘It’s not true,’ said campaign spokeswoman Amanda Henneberg. ‘If anyone said that, they weren’t reflecting the views of Governor Romney or anyone inside the campaign.’…Asked to be specific about what wasn’t true – whether the quote was fabricated or whether the sentiment was inaccurate – the campaign did not immediately respond.”
    UPDATE
    The reporter, Jon Swaine, says he talked to “a member of the foreign policy advisory team” for the Romney campaign.
    UPDATE
    The Daily Telegraph tells ThinkProgress it stands by the story.

    Not sure what you mean, I watched the original feed live. His speech ended after that. The bill was passed and debated under suspension of the rules which means no adding amendments and limited debate.

    He got 1 minute of talking granted by the opposition of the bill... then turns around and rails on people against the bill.

    Can someone explain to me what good 'auditing the FED' will do for anyone?

    I see how it is a 'win' for Ron Paul politically, but given the political situation the US finds itself in, what do you expect will come out of all this?

    The main worry with Auditing the Fed is that it will show in plain terms just how reliant the US banking system is on Fed loans, which will probably lead to a massive drop in investor confidence in those banks and customers pulling their money out due to fear of the bank collapsing; which is like a self fulfilling prophecy.

    tldr everyone is dumb

    I'm a fan of bringing the banking industry down off their pedestal tbh.

    Even if it does go full blown depression on our asses. We still haven't corrected the core problem that's bound to repeat itself.

    You're right, they should hire Goldman Sachs.

    Mitt Romney reputedly has a dinner planned and was asking people to pay $75k per ticket. Rumour is that the ticket price has been dropped several times today and is now around $1k per ticket..
