While Ann Romney is busy traveling across America, campaigning for her husband, Mitt, her horse will be trotting around London as part of the U.S. Olympic team.

Today reports Rafalca, the dressage horse Romney co-owns, has earned a spot on the U.S. Equestrian Team.

“It’s great to be part of the Olympics again. We are so proud of Jan [trainer Jan Ebeling] and Team USA. Now let’s bring home the gold!” she tweeted from the U.S. Equestrian Federation National Dressage Championships, held over the weekend, according to the news show.

Actually, Romney should be right at home watching a good ol’ horse race—this summer will just be a warm-up for the one to come in November.

Personally as an American, I'm proud we have such talented riders and horses to represent the United States of America at the Olympics. The reason why this horse Rafalca is in the news, is not because of who owns it.
What makes Rafalca a new story comes from a track record of failure. Record spending and debt with nothing but record unemployment to show for it. The Obama care that was passed with the corn husker kickback, The Louisiana Purchase, the procedural changes in the Senate, so the newly elected Scott Brown would not be able to vote against it.(to keep from passing)
Then there are the presidential executive orders that do a end run around the Constitution and Congress, then there is the Attorney General Eric Holder. I'll leave it at that, if you need the details contact me at http://cloudshorsetackblog.com/ .
The whole point of all this is there is a factual record, that some don't want to talk about. Class warfare is much easier to talk about, it's emotional. The top 5% of American taxpayers, pay for 80% of America's yearly expenditures. I think they already pay their share. I'm ashamed to say there's a slice of Americans that don't educate themselves to find out what the truth really is, and unfortunately there's a slice of the media that doesn't report the truth.
God bless America
