IRVING, Texas — Former President George W. Bush has wrapped up a two-day golf tournament for wounded U.S. military members. Bush presented the winner's trophy Tuesday to former U.S. Army Cpl. Chad Pfeifer, who also won last year's inaugural Warrior Open tournament. Bush, who had watched as Pfeifer made a hole-in-one, told him: "On behalf of a lot of grateful citizens, congratulations." Pfeifer's leg was amputated above the knee after his vehicle was hit by an improvised explosive device in Iraq in 2007. He now works at a golf course in Arizona.

The filmmakers behind 2016: Obama’s America are claiming a coordinated attack engineered by supporters of Barack Obama to suppress the box-office results of the movie, which is a critical look at the president.(snip) “Saturday morning, I started getting e-mails from groups and individuals either warning me about the piracy of 2016: Obama’s America or thanking me for allowing the movie to go online,” said Randy Slaughter, president of Rocky Mountain Pictures, the film’s distributor. Filmmakers said they notified the FBI that the movie was available illegally and that they notified YouTube of a copyright breach

VANDALIA, Ohio – Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney stepped off a plane here Tuesday and into what might be a make-or-break phase of his fall campaign. (Snip) Romney, who for months has prefaced criticism of President Barack Obama by calling the Democratic incumbent a nice guy, abandoned all pretense in his 18-minute speech. As the rock star Cooper once famously announced in song: "No more Mr. Nice Guy." “This is a vision of government that’s entirely foreign to anything this nation has ever known,” Romney told the crowd gathered near the edge of Dayton International Airport.

DETROIT (97.1 The Ticket) On the long flight back for the Green Bay Packers following the team’s 14-12 loss to the Seattle Seahawks, players debated going on strike or taking a knee on every play in upcoming games if the replacement referee issue isn’t solved. That’s according to Packers guard TJ Lang, a Royal Oak native who issued an infamous anti-NFL Tweet after the game that said “** It NFL. Fine me and use the money to pay the regular refs.”

Hailing a “season of progress” in Tunisia, Egypt and Libya, President Barack Obama told the United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday that Americans see themselves in the protests that swept the Arab world: “We were inspired by the Tunisian protests that toppled a dictator, because we recognized our own beliefs in the aspirations of men and women who took to the streets,” Obama said. “We insisted on change in Egypt, because our support for democracy put us on the side of the people.” As CNSNews.com reported in March, Tunisian lawmakers -- trying to draft a new constitution -- are now

Due to the potential for bad weather, the venue for Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney's appearance in Westerville Wednesday morning has been switched to Westerville South High School, 330 S. Otterbein Ave. The event, featuring golf legend Jack Nicklaus, is still scheduled to begin at 8 a.m., with doors opening at 6 a.m. Originally, it was slated for the amphitheater at Alum Creek Park in Westerville.

One presidential candidate talked about slavery, the other of freedom. And the speeches President Obama and Mitt Romney gave at the Clinton Global Initiative in New York on Tuesday were as different as the men themselves. Obama's topic was the tragedy of human trafficking and efforts by his administration to address a problem affecting the developing and developed world alike, including the U.S. Romney, for his part, spoke of free markets and their power to increase economic well-being in developing countries,

Golfing legend Jack Nicklaus will seek to help Mitt Romney stay on par in his quest for the White House, as he campaigns with the Republican nominee on Wednesday in Ohio. Beginning on Tuesday, Romney will spend two days on a bus tour in the battleground Midwestern state, refocusing his efforts on retail campaigning in the six weeks before the November 6 presidential election. Romney routinely brings surrogates on the road with him, but an icon like Nicklaus, who holds the record for most major golf tournament victories and is widely regarded as the greatest golfer ever,

Seoul - New satellite imagery shows North Korea has halted work at a launch pad capable of testing intercontinental missiles, possibly setting the project back by up to two years, a US website reported on Tuesday. The commercial satellite images taken on 29 August also show construction postponed on crucial fuel and oxidiser buildings designed to support future tests near the new pad, the 38 North website said. "The slowdown, barring concerted North Korean efforts to make up for lost time, could result in a 1-2 year slip in the planned completion date of the new complex," it said

Media Polls: The Newest

Over the years, I've generally had little patience when partisans make the "polls are wrong" argument. I've usually found it to be the last refuge of campaigns which were clearly struggling. (Snip) This year, however, is different. The overwhelming majority of media polling this election employ such absurd assumptions about turnout this November that they not only misrepresent the presidential race, they are actively distorting it. I also believe it is intentional. In 2008, the electorate that elected Barack Obama was 39% Democrat, 32% GOP and 29% Independent. This is what we call a D+7 electorate. Obama defeated McCain by 7

Two weeks ago, Peter Schweizer’s Government Accountability Institute reported that President Obama was ditching over half of his intelligence briefings. According to their study, drawn from Obama’s own White House calendar, “During his first 1,225 days in office, Obama attended his PDB just 536 times — or 43.8 percent of the time. During 2011 and the first half of 2012, his attendance became even less frequent — falling to just over 38 percent.” Breitbart News covered Obama’s briefings shortcomings from the outset, bringing pressure to bear on the Obama administration to get their president to sit

Harrisburg - The Pennsylvania judge who last month upheld a law requiring voters to show photo identification heard testimony today from officials on whether the state’s process for implementing the statute will allow people to comply before the general election in November. The Pennsylvania Supreme Court on Sept. 18 ordered Commonwealth Judge Robert E. Simpson to consider whether all eligible voters will be able to obtain acceptable ID if the law is upheld. Simpson ruled Aug. 15 that plaintiffs including the American Civil Liberties Union hadn’t proved the law would disenfranchise voters. The state high court asked Simpson to submit

A majority of small business owners and manufacturers are mulling drastic changes to comply with Obamacare, with 21 percent set to drop health insurance to workers altogether and 38 percent planning to make employees pay much more. In a poll done for the National Association of Manufacturers and National Federation of Independent Businesses, 59 percent said that they will have to consider changes once the full law kicks in because increased costs will jeopardize their operations. According to the poll, 67 percent expect Obamacare to raise healthcare costs.

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti -- Plastic and foam food containers are everywhere in this enterprising Caribbean nation — clogging canals, cluttering streets and choking ocean wildlife. Now those pesky black plastic bags made of polyethylene and polystyrene foam cups, plates, trays and other containers that have become as ubiquitous as the vendors who peddle them in street markets are on their way out. Haiti’s government has announced a ban on importing, manufacturing and marketing them as of Oct. 1. “This is a logical decision and makes sense,” Prime Minister Laurent Lamothe said. “Importing, manufacturing bio-degradable items will benefit

Tomorrow, President Obama will make his fourth address to the United Nations General Assembly. According to tradition, the U.S. leader will follow Brazil, which will officially kick off the start of the 67th session as the first speaker of the “General Debate.” Later in the week, heads of state from Malawi, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, and Haiti will take their turn at the podium. Why highlight these countries? They are among a select group of 49 “least developed countries” (LDCs) that receive substantial reductions in their assessed contributions to the U.N. How low are the reductions, you ask? Currently, the minimum assessment

The New York Post on Sunday offered Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad a basket brimming with distinctively Jewish delicacies, stating that it hoped to "take the edge off his bloodthirsty desire to develop nuclear weapons and wipe Israel off the map." The welcome basket came just a day after the Iranian president was greeted by dozens of demonstrators who gathered outside New York's upscale Warwick hotel to protest his attendance at the United Nations General Assembly meeting. The crowd chanted “Keep Ahmadinejad out of New York!", while others held anti-Iranian-regime signs outside the Manhattan hotel.

Florida Rep. Allen West ripped President Barack Obama’s United Nations speech Tuesday, saying he would have told the U.N. that America would be an “Angel of Death” that wreaks “havoc and destruction” on anyone who attacks the U.S. “My statement to the United Nations would have been, ‘The future does not belong to those who attack our Embassies and Consulates and kill our Ambassadors. The Angel of Death in the form of an American Bald Eagle will visit you and wreak havoc and destruction upon your existence,’” the Florida congressman wrote in a Facebook post Tuesday.

How megalomania explains
Obama’s response to the Arab Spring

Power Line, by Paul Mirengoff Original Article

Posted By: Pluperfect- 9/25/2012 5:13:47 PM Post Reply

This critical look by the New York Times at President Obama’s responses to the “Arab Spring” is very much worth reading. It describes the “hard lesson[] the president ha[s] learned over almost two years of political turmoil in the Arab world” as follows: “bold words and support for democratic aspirations are not enough to engender good will in this region, especially not when hampered by America’s own national security interests.” How is it that an American president didn’t know this from the beginning? The explanation, the Times makes clear, resides in Obama’s megalomania.

Obama’s speeches all come in one tone--what the mainstream media calls “historic”.[Snip] He should’ve torn into the dictators, slammed the terrorists and explained why the US doesn’t censor its private citizens. He did all of the above, but diluted with so much else that was painfully “historic” that it sounded more like “I Want to Teach the World to Sing.” Obama’s message? The world wants freedom, but a handful of nasty people living in caves are distracting us. So let’s all be like Gandhi and try to get along. Here’s what Mr History got wrong.

Sliding for the fifth consecutive month, German business sentiment has hit its lowest level since early 2010, according to a key economic indicator. Overall outlook is marred by pessimism and angst about the eurozone. The German Business Climate Index fell to 101.4 points in September from 102.3 points in August, the Munich-based Institute for Economic Research (Ifo) said Monday, after polling 7,000 firms in the course of the month. (Snip) "The companies surveyed are again less satisfied with their current business situation, and express greater pessimism about the future," said Ifo President Hans-Werner Sinn in a statement.

There are fresh rumors that the Greek budget deficit may yet again be greater than expected. The new ESM rescue fund, which is to be finalized next month, may need some tweaking as a result. In Brussels, everybody is waiting for the new report by the troika of international lenders, consisting of the EU Commission, European Central Bank (ECB) and the International Monetary Fund (IMF). But for the time being the troika has taken a week's break, and once again the release date of the report has been postponed. A bad sign? (Snip) Greek Prime Minister Antonis Samaras has repeatedly
