ELMHURST, Ill. — Remember "Obamamania?" In 2008, college campuses were filled with campaign posters and political rallies — and frenzy. This year, it's hard to find a college student truly excited about the presidential race. Take Abraham Mulberry, a freshman at Elmhurst College in suburban Chicago. Mulberry says politics again has become "that thing you don't want to bring up." Mulberry is trying to start a club for young Democrats at his school. Last election, the Elmhurst campus had an active Students for Obama chapter that organized well before the election.

Delegates at the United Nations General Assembly applauded the speech given by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad Wednesday. The U.S. delegation announced Wednesday morning it would not attend the speech. In a statement to CNN, the delegation said, “Over the past couple of days, we’ve seen Mr. Ahmadinejad once again use his trip to the U.N. not to address the legitimate aspirations of the Iranian people but to instead spout paranoid theories and repulsive slurs against Israel.”

Now that Todd Akin is officially on the ballot as a Senate candidate in Missouri, he’s picked up two prominent endorsers. Former GOP presidential candidate Rick Santorum and prominent conservative Sen. Jim DeMint offered their backing Wednesday morning in an e-mail to supporters of Santorum’s group Patriot Voices. The two issued a joint statement: “If Republicans are to win back the Senate and stop President Obama’s liberal agenda, we must defeat Senator Claire McCaskill in Missouri. Her support of President Obama’s job-killing, big-spending policies are sending our country into an economic abyss.

The good news is that high school students don’t bow down to a liberal government and get pushed around without expressing their concerns – at least when it comes to getting their fill at lunch time. Their voice is loud and strong when they are rebelling for the right to eat. The bad news is that the United States Department of Agriculture and First Lady Michelle Obama may be a tough team for the young people to cross. But from reports, there is a sizable group of high school athletes expressing their concern regarding the food

Advocates of "clean coal," hopeful of pushing their cause at Obama-Biden campaign events, say that organizers have confiscated T-shirts, hats and signs and harassed supporters. At a Chesterfield, Virginia rally Tuesday for Vice President Biden, clean coal supporters said that their T-shirts, hats and signs were taken as they passed through security. Others said that they were barred from entering after an official who had earlier confiscated clean coal T-shirts called it a "private event." Wednesday at a rally for President Obama in Bowling Green, Ohio, clean coal advocates in their T-shirts and hats were asked to leave

Former U.S. President Bill Clinton said Tuesday he does not trust Tehran's assertions that it is not pursuing a nuclear weapon, and he urged the international community to pressure Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to allow inspectors to verify his claims. "What they're really saying is, in spite of the fact that we deny the Holocaust, that we threaten Israel, and we demonize the United States, and we do all this stuff, we want you to trust us," Clinton told CNN's Piers Morgan in an interview to air Tuesday night. "They don't have a tenable position."

Republicans: DHS ‘attempting to conceal

Four powerful Republican senators are demanding answers to questions they posited to Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano in early August regarding the apparent watering down of immigration regulations which prohibit those seeking residency or citizenship from being primarily reliant on welfare, or a public charge. The Department of Homeland Security missed the Aug. 20 deadline and has yet to respond. Also addressed in the initial letter was Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. The State Department did respond, claiming that the majority of the inquiry fell under the purview of DHS.

Fact check shows Obama’s
claim about blame
for 90% of deficit is false

Des Moines Register (IA), by Jennifer Jacobs Original Article

Posted By: Scottyboy- 9/26/2012 12:40:26 PM Post Reply

An independent watchdog this morning examined President Barack Obama’s claim that 90 percent of the deficit can be blamed on someone else’s policies, and ruled it false. Obama, in a telephone interview with The Des Moines Register yesterday, said: “When you look at why the debt exploded under my watch, it’s because somebody else ran the tab before I got into office. Essentially 90 percent of the increase in debt is two wars on a credit card, two tax cuts that weren’t paid for, a prescription drug plan that was not paid for and a massive recession that required extraordinary measures

Athens clashes as Greek
police fire tear gas

Greek police have fired tear gas to disperse anarchists throwing petrol bombs near parliament in Athens. Dozens were arrested during the one-day strike against planned spending cuts of 11.5bn euros ($15bn; £9bn). It was the first union-led action since a conservative-led coalition came to power in June. The savings are a pre-condition to Greece receiving its next tranche of bailout funds, without which the country could face bankruptcy in weeks. Greece needs the next 31bn-euro instalment of its international bailout, but with record unemployment and a third of Greeks pushed below the poverty line, there is strong resistance to further

The growth of the Hispanic population in California could reach a new milestone as early as 2013, an analysis of Census data shows. By next year, immigrants and their descendants from Central and South America could become the biggest ethnic group in the country's most populous state - surpassing whites for the first time. But Hispanics still trail other ethnic groups in important aspects of society. They are underrepresented among university graduates and Hispanic business owners are more likely to file for bankruptcy. The BBC went to southern California to hear experts talk about where the Hispanic community stands.

Israel Must Be "Eliminated"

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad speaks at the United Nations today, which also happens to be Yom Kippur, the holiest day on the Jewish calendar. The timing is apt because when it comes to Iran and Israel, the hardest thing for some people to see or hear is what Iranian leaders say in front of the world's nose. "Iran has been around for the last seven, 10 thousand years. They [the Israelis] have been occupying those territories for the last 60 to 70 years, with the support and force of the Westerners. They have no roots there in history," Mr. Ahmadinejad told reporters and editors in New York on Monday.

Obama's lead is built on race,
class and gender. This is an
identity politics election

Telegraph [UK], by Tim Stanley Original Article

Posted By: Attercliffe- 9/26/2012 11:49:57 AM Post Reply

This presidential election breaks the golden rule in that it isn’t being decided by the economy. Despite all the miserable news about jobs and debt, Obama continues to build a lead over Romney. To explain why, Democrats argue that their guy is “on the right side of history”--that he’s winning simply because he’s right. The Romney camp tends to pin it on press bias and bad poll sampling. Neither explanation speaks to the race, class and gender revolution that’s reshaping US politics. In an odd way, this is an identity politics election. Thomas Edsall has an article

Ever the Artful Dodger of Politics, President Barack Hussein Obama was a one-day wonder at this year’s perfectly useless UN General Assembly. Just one day later, the uncrowned King of the World has been pushed off the front page by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who says New World Order is needed to get away from US dominance. “Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Tuesday that a new world order needs to emerge, away from years of what he called American bullying and domination.”

When George Will met Alec Baldwin:

One of the more lamented aspects of the American political culture is how divided the media has become with the proliferation of cable news, the Internet and talk radio. But if that current environment is viewed with some historical perspective, according to Washington Post columnist George Will, it doesn’t seem so bad. In an appearance on WNYC’s “Here’s the Thing” podcast with Alec Baldwin (yes, that Alec Baldwin), Will explained why rough-and-tumble politics has always been with us, and the media is not wholly to blame for today’s coarse political discourse. “[L]ook, 30 years ago – CNN was founded

What Has Obama Learned?

The Oval Office isn’t the place to learn on the job. That was the line from both Hillary Clinton and John McCain in 2008. In fairness, that’s always the argument the more experienced candidate uses against the less experienced candidate (just ask Mitt Romney). But Barack Obama seemed a special case, easily among the least experienced major-party nominees in U.S. history. A Pew poll in August 2008, found that the biggest concern voters had with Obama fell under the category of “personal abilities and experience.” In a “change” year, Americans swallowed those concerns and voted for the change candidate.

Biggs made headlines when he tweeted nasty, graphic sexual language about Janna Ryan and Ann Romney. Yet Nickelodeon linked to Biggs’ twitter feed even though the “American Pie” actor’s opinions are nowhere near kid-friendly or appropriate. After being rebuked for his despicable actions Biggs

Andy Williams, the silky-voiced singer whose recording of Moon River brought him fans all over the world, has died at the age of 84. Williams died on Tuesday night at his home in Branson, Missouri following a year-long battle with bladder cancer, his publicist said. Williams revealed in November 2011 that he was diagnosed with the disease but planned to continue performing. Williams began singing with his brothers as a child, and his easy style and mellow voice led President Ronald Reagan to call him 'a national treasure'. The singer proved ideal for television.

Libya leader says attack

WASHINGTON — Libyan leader Mohamed al-Megaryef said Wednesday that the deadly September 11 attack on the US consulate was a pre-planned assault that had "nothing to do with" an anti-Islam online video. In an interview with NBC News, Megaryef said the attackers fired rocket-propelled grenades and mortar rounds with such accuracy that the attack had to have been planned and carried out by experienced militants. When asked if the offensive anti-Islam movie -- which sparked violent protests across the Muslim world -- had anything to do with the assault, Megaryef replied: "Not on this attack." "Reaction should have been

Within 24 hours of the 9-11 anniversary attack on the United States consulate in Benghazi, U.S. intelligence agencies had strong indications al Qaeda–affiliated operatives were behind the attack, and had even pinpointed the location of one of those attackers. Three separate U.S. intelligence officials who spoke to The Daily Beast said the early information was enough to show that the attack was planned and the work of al Qaeda affiliates operating in Eastern Libya. Nonetheless, it took until late last week for the White House and the administration to formally acknowledge that the Benghazi assault was

There were men in overalls and some in suits, hardcore Democrats and wavering Republicans, undecideds and first-time voters, the unemployed and the angry. After decades of taking a back seat to the growing voting demographics of women and Latinos, middle-class white men are finding themselves front and center again. They are being intensely targeted and wooed by the left and right, as Barack Obama and Mitt Romney fight to hold together their fragile coalitions and
