Romney'sThree alphabets or alphabet soup

The Romney campaign debuted two new attacks against President Obama this morning, with a side of alphabet soup.
In a release this morning, Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney rated the president's approach to the budget "Triple A" -- for arrogant, absent and alarming.
At a lunchtime town hall stop here, the critique expanded to the entire Obama presidency, with Romney telling an audience of around 75 people the Obama presidency would become known for three D's -- Debt, Downgrade and Delay. here some humorous lines about alphabets.A – Actually pretty good. Wow, Cena is tearing it up. I liked his opening promo, especially his confidence. Viewers don’t see this side of Cena enough. I got pretty pumped when he told Del Rio he was going to beat him. What? I’m not allowed to like Cena? He’s doing a good job!
C – Come on. For being on TV for 15 years, Triple H seems to have forgotten that stripe shirts - especially brightly colored ones that look like they were stolen from Billy Dee Williams - tend to confuse cameras. Smart.
McMahon, I don’t know...with a candlestick...in the library or something.” I love the fact that even he realized the ridiculousness of what he was saying.

Z – Zero: The amount of people who wanted to see another automobile angle. Really? A car crash? I feel like we’re inching closer and closer to exploding limo territory. The percentage of Canadian wrestling fans who don’t drink alcohol. And, finally, the number of Zack Ryder appearances this week if you don't count his champagne celebration with the new tag champs. His very presence could’ve soured U.S./Canadian diplomatic relationships for years to come. 

The Alphabet Rockers are hip hop beat box kids. They are bringing their tunes for the 7-and-under set to Yerba Buena Gardens on Friday for two free shows.

The group's style, a blend of hip-hop, beatbox and soul, sets it apart from other bands for kids, says Alphabet Rocker Kaitlin

"A lot of the cool (kid) bands are more rock and indie," she says. "We have more of the old-school-'Sesame Street'-'Electric Company' urban feel."
Their songs, such as "The Seven Days of the Week" and "The Money Song," were written by group members, in consultation with grade-school teachers. The performances are interactive and often improvisational for the singers, McGaw says.
The kids' favorite tune, she says, is usually "Countdown Boogie Down," which is the finale and features several audience members invited up to dance.
McGaw, who co-founded the group, is a Harvard University graduate who also makes a living singing jazz and covers to older audiences. She is joined by her childhood friend, Stefanie Liang, who daylights as a graphic artist (and handles costumes).
Holding up the rap and beatbox end of things is Tommy Shepherd, an actor, dad and musician.

Obama announced a deal to raise the U.S. debt crisis

President Barack Obama on Sunday announced a last-minute deal to raise the U.S. borrowing limit and avoid a catastrophic default and he urged lawmakers to "do the right thing" and approve the agreement.

Laying out the endgame in the U.S. debt crisis just two days before a deadline to lift the borrowing limit, the White House and congressional leaders said the compromise would cut about $2.5 trillion from the deficit over the next 10 years.

With Republican and Democratic leaders in agreement, the Senate will likely vote on the proposed agreement on Monday, a senior congressional aide said. House of Representatives Speaker John Boehner said he would bring it to a vote in that chamber as soon as possible.

 Obama told, "There are still some very important votes to be taken by members of Congress."

"But I want to announce that the leaders of both parties in both chambers have reached an agreement that will reduce the deficit and avoid default. a default that would have had a devastating effect on our economy.I want to urge members of both parties to do the right thing and support this deal with your votes over the next few days."

He said the the first phase of the two-stage plan called for about $1 trillion in spending cuts over the next decade. The next $1.5 trillion in savings must be found by a special congressional committee by the end of December.

Financial markets showed signs of relief at a deal in the making to meet Tuesday's deadline, as U.S. stock futures jumped and the dollar rebounded on Sunday.

A deal would ease the immediate crisis but repercussions will be felt for years to come. Bitter brinkmanship has turned dysfunction seemingly into the norm in Washington, undercut America's stature as the world's capitalist superpower and set the stage for a deeply ideologically 2012 presidential race when President Barack Obama is seeking re-election.
