Owners hit back in ‘I Built This’

Staff Report

Following President Barack Obama’s highly criticized “you didn’t build that” remark about business owners last week, some owners have submitted photos of their businesses for a two-minute “I built this” video take down of Obama’s comments.

Organized by Bristol Palin, daughter of 2008 Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin, the video features dozens of photos from a variety of businesses.
 
“Since the President doesn’t understand how our economy works, let’s take a moment to explain how small businesses are created,” Palin wrote on her blog. “More importantly, let’s show him the businesses we’ve made and who has made them.”

Iran now downplays threat to close strait

Staff Report

The Jerusalem Post is reporting in a Reuters story that an Iranian Military commander is now saying Iran won’t close Strait of Hormuz as long as it can use the shipping line itself, IRNA reports.

The report from Dubai asserts Iran would not close the Strait of Hormuz as long as it is able to use the vital shipping line itself.  The military commander was quoted Monday moderating recent threats by Iranian politicians to block the waterway as retaliation for sanctions.

"The enemies constantly state that the Islamic Republic of Iran intends to close the Strait of Hormuz but we say that common sense does not dictate that Iran would close the Strait of Hormuz as long as it makes use of it," said Alireza Tangsiri, deputy naval commander in Iran’s Revolutionary Guards, state news agency IRNA reported.

Such a move would risk a military response from the United States and Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi told Reuters earlier this month Iran was unlikely to follow through on the threat unless its own vessels were denied use of the strait.

Iran’s parliament is debating a bill recommending the strait be closed in retaliation to a European Union embargo on Iranian oil which came into full effect this month.

2nd CD GOP Runoff: Miller Endorses Mullin

Mike McCarville, The McCarville Report

State Treasurer Ken Miller today endorsed Markwayne Mullin for Congress in the 2nd District, and said Mullin’s business record and financial discipline give Republicans their best chance for victory. 

“There’s a striking difference between the two runoff candidates in both their business track record and campaign tactics. I am supporting Markwayne Mullin for two primary reasons: he has a proven record of growing jobs and resisting debt, and his campaign has been focused on issues rather than attacking his opponent.
 
“I served in the House with George and have spent much time getting to know Markwayne. After many conversations with Markwayne, I am confident in his dedication to correcting the federal government’s massive spending problem and in his commitment to repealing ObamaCare,” Miller said. “As an employer with more than 120 employees, Markwayne understands better than most the damage that nationalized health care would do to small businesses and the national debt.
 
“With Markwayne’s proven conservative financial record in running a business debt free, he’s exactly the type of person we need in Congress at this critical time in our nation’s history. I trust he will never compromise on stopping mandates and taxes which hurt the states and kill jobs.”

Miller said that Mullin is a refreshing candidate, a plain-spoken and successful business owner. “Markwayne has worked hard, invested, and grown his company from a few service vans to more than 80. His success story sets him apart in this race, so it is clear why voters embraced his candidacy with such a large primary victory margin.”
 
Mullin said he’s honored to have Miller’s endorsement.
 
“It’s great to have the endorsement of a leader like Treasurer Miller who has set himself apart as a fiscal conservative, especially because he knows both candidates fairly well. We have clear momentum, and the support of such a well-respected statewide Republican official like Ken Miller is something we would have considered out of our reach a few months ago,” Mullin said.
