SCRIPT FOR TODAY’S ‘PJ NEWS BREAK WITH SCOTT OTT‘

SCOTT OTT: It’s Friday, March 3rd, 2012, and this is news.

Iran’s Ayatollah Khameini wants a high turnout for this week’s parliamentary elections to stop the mouths of Iran’s enemies. Critics note that President Obama’s failure to embrace Iran’s reform movement in 2009, means Iranian voters are now stuck with a choice between candidates who support either of two radical hard-liners — President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad or the Ayatollah.

Meanwhile, Obama warned this week that a nuclear-armed Iran is unacceptable, and all options, including military, are still on the table, adding, QUOTE ‘As president of the United States, I don’t bluff.’
(SOT :39-:52 OBAMA: “We have had a foreign policy of bluster and saber rattling and tough talk, and in the meantime we make a series of strategic decisions that actually strengthen Iran.”)

SCOTT OTT: (HAND TO EAR) I’m sorry, I’m being told that clip is from May of 2008 when Obama was still running for President. He was talking about George Bush.

Despite the stock market topping 13,000 this week, and White House assurances that the U.S. economy is getting stronger all the time, we have more anecdotal evidence today that the rising tide may not float all boats.
(SOT 6:19-6:28 ROMNEY: “Look, I’ve worn a garbage bag for rain gear myself. We were out there in the rain. The rain was getting us soaked. I didn’t have a rain coat myself. I would have liked one of those.”)
SCOTT OTT: As long as the common man faces this harsh reality, Obama’s reelection campaign may face an uphill battle.

Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius told a House panel yesterday that the ObamaCare mandate that employers provider workers with free contraception, will actually save money.

(SOT :13-:21 SEBELIUS: “The reduction in a number of pregnancies compensates for the cost of contraception.”)

Sebelius said that pregnancy is expensive for government health care programs because it produces more humans dependent upon the government for healthcare. She added that free contraception is the most practical solution, since it’s much easier to prevent or even abort millions of pregnancies than it is to end a government entitlement program.

There now, that filled seven seconds nicely, didn’t it?
