Obama Campaign Sends Three
Fundraising Emails in One Day

Breitbart Big Government, by Ben Shapiro Original Article

Posted By: JoniTx- 10/1/2012 8:11:26 AM Post Reply

The media is spending a vast amount of time making the case that President Obama has an insurmountable lead. In fact, the media seems to be making the case that Mitt Romney should simply throw in the towel. But if the Obama campaign’s emails are any indicator, this race is far from over. Today – a Sunday – the Obama campaign sent no less than three fundraising emails, two from the President, and one from the First Lady. The President led off with a desperation email titled “I want to win”: Benjamin -- I can't

CARACAS, Sept 30 - With both presidents facing tight re-election fights, Venezuela's Hugo Chavez gave a surprise endorsement to Barack Obama on Sunday - and said the U.S. leader no doubt felt the same."I hope this doesn't harm Obama, but if I was from the United States, I'd vote for Obama," the socialist Chavez said of a man he first reached out to in 2009 but to whom he has since generally been insulting.Chavez is running for a new six-year term against opposition challenger Henrique Capriles, while Obama seeks re-election in November

Economists reluctantly pick Romney

NEW YORK -- Economists think Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney would be better for the economy than President Obama. But they're not very enthusiastic about either of them. Nine of 17 top economists surveyed by CNNMoney picked Romney when asked who's election would help the economy grow more. Only three picked Obama. But the remaining five made no pick, with several suggesting neither would provide much of a lift to the sagging economy. "Obama doesn't really understand business and Romney doesn't really understand how to govern.

Perot's economic stance

PLANO, Texas -Twenty years from the day he shook up the 1992 presidential race with warnings of economic doom, Ross Perot feels vindicated -- though he's not happy about it. The national debt -- $4 trillion and rising when he sounded the fiscal alarm by challenging President George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton -- stands at $16 trillion. The annual deficit -- a record $290 billion then -- has topped $1 trillion four years running.(Snip) So when the country may be in even greater need of another Ross Perot, the 82-year-old Texas billionaire is re-emerging, ever so slightly,

NEW ORLEANS–On the eleventh anniversary of 9/11, coordinated Jihad attacks by Radical Islamists led to the murder of Americans. The United States government was totally unprepared for these acts of war. First our government claimed that an anti-Muslim film-maker was falsely accused of sparking spontaneous riots among radical Islamists who have been outraged for 1,400 years. Then the film-maker was arrested for jeopardizing President Obama's reelection chances when Mr. Obama's story of the events in the Middle East unraveled.

There's more cause for embarrassment for Mahmoud Ahmadinejad at his final appearance at the United Nations, as he's now down one cameraman. Hassan Gol Khanban, who was part of the 140-person entourage that accompanied the Iranian president to New York, has announced via his New York City-based lawyer, Paul O'Dwyer, that he is seeking asylum in the U.S. It wasn't immediately clear when the Iranian made the decision or his current whereabouts. A message left with Alireza Miryousefi, a spokesman for the Iranian mission to the U.N., was not immediately returned. Ahmadinejad addressed the assembly on Wednesday, his

LONDON -- It is a court case that could reverberate round the world: Three elderly Kenyans are suing the U.K. government for torture inflicted by the colonial regime during the African country's struggle for independence.(snip) The court case could also attract the attention of President Barack Obama. In his book “Dreams From My Father,” Obama said he was told by his step-grandmother Sarah that his Kenyan grandfather Onyango was held for six months in a detention camp by the colonial authorities. “When he returned … he was very thin and dirty.

'Panicked' Soros Bankrolls
Obama Campaign

George Soros is airdropping bushels of cash to the Obama campaign because the preeminent funder of the Left is reportedly “panicked” that Mitt Romney could win in November and halt America’s ongoing slide into socialist chaos and civil unrest. Soros’s alarm at the prospect of a Romney victory may also have led him to squelch a report in the Soros-funded Mother Jones magazine that revealed his desperate state of mind. “Is there possibly some panic among the liberal elite that the media are not telling us about?

Univision Breaks New Details

On Sunday night, Spanish-language station Univision— one of the only networks to provide critical coverage of President Obama’s failures in office instead of cream-puff interviews — broke open the Fast and Furious investigation, revealing new evidence of weapons smuggling and displaying shocking new images of the bloody aftermath of the government-supported gun-smuggling program. The Univision report undermines the integrity of the recently released DOJ inspector general report on Operation Fast and Furious, already heavily criticized as an attempt to whitewash criminal activity within the Obama administration.

Online retail giant Amazon has come under fire over the sale of a jigsaw puzzle that recreates the crematorium at the Nazi death camp of Dachau, a media report said Sunday. "This is a real slap in the face for concentration camp survivors and relatives of victims," conservative politician Gerda Hasselfeldt wrote in a letter to Amazon that was cited by Der Spiegel. The 252-piece puzzle, being sold for $24.99 or 17.99 British pounds (about 20 euros), is sold as suitable for children aged eight and over.

Last Friday, the Obama re-election campaign allowed America’s crazy uncle to get in front of a group of Florida seniors and frighten the bejabbers out of them with horror stories about the evil designs Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan have on Medicare and Social Security. As his entourage cringed in the background, Biden brayed as only he can bray (Snip) the Vice President attempted to reassure his audience that ObamaCare can siphon $716 billion from Medicare while simultaneously improving their benefits. He accomplished his last feat by unilaterally adding a new benefit to Medicare—the free colonoscopy.

Winston Churchill, is credited with saying, "success is not final, failure is not fatal; it is the courage to continue that counts." Churchill knew of what he spoke. (Snip)I would submit that the present focus on a multitude of polls, pronouncements, and prognostications by and about Mitt Romney, similarly, fails to focus on what counts. It fails to demonstrate, whether intentionally or not, that if "courage to continue" is effectively measured, Romney's demise is not only greatly exaggerated, it is contrary to the context of his enduring legacy. Romney is, simply put, indefatigable.

In the life of almost all civilizations, a time comes where, as Yeats put it, “things fall apart.” The internal principles and assumptions that used to seem to work begin to break down. If the engines of growth have not ground to a halt, they certainly could use some fresh oil: stagnation replaces new opportunities. Everything that used to work suddenly doesn’t. (Snip)In his speech to the Republican National Convention, Governor Romney suggested something of this need for bigger-picture thinking. Of his five strategies for renewal (a national energy policy, improved schools, trade reform, steps toward a balanced budget,

Barack Obama has lied about the terrorist attack on the American Consulate in Libya for over 15 days, even going so far as to overtly imply that this attack was prompted by an obscure internet movie trailer in his speech at the United Nations two weeks after it was confirmed the White House knew it was an Al Qaeda sponsored attack. Additionally, during the current campaign the lies and obfuscations about Mitt Romney and the Republicans have been so fast and furious that it is nearly impossible to keep up with them.

Keep pulpit politicking

Clergy are becoming more aggressive in publicly endorsing political candidates in this year's election, a trend that has no place in our churches. On Sunday, many pastors will endorse political candidates from their pulpits. They will be part of Pulpit Freedom Day, sponsored by the conservative non-profit Alliance Defending Freedom. The objective is to overturn the Internal Revenue Service statute that prohibits all tax-exempt institutions, including religious ones, from "directly or indirectly" endorsing political candidates. The first Pulpit Freedom Day began in 2008, when 33 pastors participated. This year, more than 1,000 have enrolled to take part.

Many Republicans are not buying the numbers produced by national polls in the last few weeks that show President Obama padding his lead over Mitt Romney. Some of this sentiment can be put down to wishful thinking by conservatives who can’t fathom why so many Americans want to re-elect Obama. It is only human nature that we tend to think polls that verify our views of the way things should be are credible while dismissing those that contradict as bogus. Indeed, with the president taking the lead in so many national

Obama's poker tells

Washington Examiner [DC], by Hugh Hewitt Original Article

President Obama has a number of "poker tells" which he displays when answering questions. They betray an increasing distance between his reply and the truth. Talk show hosts love when the president gives one of his very rare press conference or any other occasion when he is off prompter. That is when these "tells" surface, giving all veteran Obama observers the verbal heads-up that the president has entered the land of thinly disguised fantasy or obvious dissembling. First, the president begins a pattern of "ahs" and "uhmms" which are as embarrassing as they are revealing.

WORKING out of cramped, bare offices in a downtown building here in Washington, President-elect Obama’s economic team spent the final weeks of 2008 trying to assess how bad the economy was. (Snip)Knowing in late 2008 how much policy help was on the way, Mr. Obama and his economic advisers decided that the disturbing pattern of financial crises was not directly relevant. “In a way, they fell into a ‘This Time Is Different’ trap,” another former White House official said. A banner headline in The Financial Times in June 2009 pronounced the White House “Upbeat on Economy.”

It’s on us, Mr. President. President Obama’s frequent trips to New York City — for everything from official appearances to champagne-soaked fund-raisers — have already cost New Yorkers well in excess of $2 million in additional security at Kennedy Airport, The Post has learned. Michelle Obama’s trips to the Big Apple have cost hundreds of thousands more. And those bucks come right out of the treasury of the financially strapped Port Authority, which doesn’t get reimbursed one penny for the honor of hosting the Obamas. “Look, this is nonpartisan. This is what happens when you have a sitting president

Scarborough Doubles Down

Joe Scarborough is standing by MSNBC’s decision to air this clip of a Romney-Ryan campaign rally and his dubious claim that the crowd chants, “Ryan, Ryan” – Romney can’t even get his own crowds behind him. Via Twitter, he said we can “expect to see the tape again on Monday.” That’s after he warned that he would “take note of those who link to the lie.” The lie being, I think, that MSNBC improperly edited or interpreted the clip. The error I see is this. As is evident from the clip —

George Zimmerman’s DNA problem

George Zimmerman is in a bloody mess. The killer of Trayvon Martin claims that he was in a life-and-death struggle with the unarmed teenager. But DNA tests are not exactly bearing that out. Yes, they prove the two were in close proximity. One stain on the shirt that Trayvon wore underneath the hoodie was a DNA match to Zimmerman. But these tests raise more questions about (or poke more holes in) Zimmerman’s story. Despite claims that Trayvon grabbed Zimmerman’s gun, Trayvon’s DNA was not found on the weapon or its holster. Despite claims that Trayvon

Like other American golf fans, I am currently rending my garments over the collapse of the American team at this weekend's Ryder Cup tournament. But when, tomorrow or the next day, after the anguish and despair have faded, I start to discern the silver lining around this cloud, I think it will look something like this: There was an overarching, across-the-decades symmetry here that's kind of beautiful. Until this weekend the most famous comeback in Ryder Cup history was in 1999, when the American team entered Sunday's final round facing a nearly insurmountable four-point deficit--exactly as the Europeans did this Sunday.

With a little more than a month to go before a crucial national election, the wheels are coming off the Obama administration’s national-security credentials. The coordinated attacks on the US consulate in Benghazi, which killed our ambassador and three other Americans — and the worldwide explosion of assaults on our diplomatic installations elsewhere in the Muslim word — have vividly exposed the hollow core of the president’s foreign-policy “reset.” It was just a few weeks ago at the Democratic national convention that Obama confidently declared that “al Qaeda is on the path to defeat and Osama bin Laden is dead.”

The Real Debate

Everybody knows that this election is supposed to be all about the economy. Employment, income, growth, and America’s credit rating are too low, while spending, borrowing, deficits, poverty, and gas prices are too high, and voters must decide whether President Obama is responsible for all of that or whether Mitt Romney could do better. Polls certainly suggest that these questions are highest on voters’ minds. And yet, even as both parties acknowledge the centrality of the economy, both seem also to be powerfully drawn toward another, deeper kind of debate.

Philips Electronics has dropped its sponsorship of the 2012 presidential debates, citing a desire not to associate itself with "partisan politics," POLITICO has learned. Philips is the third and by far the largest of the original ten sponsors to pull its support, following similar decisions by British advertising firm BBH New York and the YWCA over the last week. Their decision to do so is seen as the result of intense lobbying efforts by advocacy organizations -- primarily Libertarian supporters of former Gov. Gary Johnson -- who oppose the exclusion of third-party candidates and who therefore believe
