So Obama Is a Lying,
Race-Baiting Demagogue:
Does Anyone Care?

Power Line, by John Hinderaker Original Article

Posted By: KarenJ1- 10/3/2012 10:03:02 AM Post Reply

The video that debuted on the Daily Caller and the Sean Hannity show last night establishes that Barack Obama is a lying (see Paul’s post from last night), race-baiting (see the video) demagogue. Will it matter? Reporters tweeted up a storm last night, assuring us that there is nothing new in the video and suggesting that it was disreputable to play it. One Josh Barro of Bloomberg News tweeted: @JBarro: I don’t get how you can work somewhere like Breitbart or Drudge and not feel like you’re doing something pathetic with your life.

Mississippi AG: DOJ Won't
Clear Voter ID Law Until

JACKSON, Mississippi -- Attorney General Jim Hood says the Department of Justice has asked for more information on Mississippi's voter identification law. Hood said in a statement Tuesday that the bottom line is that the law will not be pre-cleared by the Justice Department in time for it to be enforced for the Nov. 6 election. Mississippi's law provides for a wide range of photo identifications that could be used at the polling places. Supporters of voter ID say it's needed to help ensure the integrity of elections by preventing people from voting under others' names.

Obama's 'Writ' Unleashed
War Criminals

When the Founding Fathers wrote the Constitution, they made it clear that the only time the president would have the authority to use military force without prior authorization from Congress was when, as James Madison recorded in his notes from the Constitutional Convention, it was necessary to "repel sudden attacks." It was thus fittingly symbolic that when Barack Obama announced he had ordered the U.S. military to intervene in Libya's civil war, he did not do so from the Oval Office or the well of the U.S. House of Representatives,

CHARLESTON — The Faculty Senate at Eastern Illinois University on Tuesday approved three resolutions related to issues involving Chick-fil-A. A fourth measure — supporting the ouster of the restaurant chain’s site on campus — failed on a 3-6 vote, with five abstentions. Proposed by Faculty Senate member Stacey Knight-Davis, it stated: “...Faculty Senate supports the non-renewal of the current Chick-fil-A agreement.”

MYFOXNY.COM - The plans for a ship that has been dubbed Titanic II will be unveiled in New York, according to Australian billionaire Clive Palmer said. Palmer, one of Australia's richest men, announced plans in April to construct the replica Titanic with exactly the same dimensions as the original. He will release the design on the Intrepid Museum on Manhattan's West Side during a gala on Dec. 4, according to AFP. The dinner menu will reportedly be the same menu as Titanic passengers were served on the day it say on April 15, 1912.

Letters obtained exclusively by Fox News appear to show the State Department refused to get involved when the company tasked with protecting the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, raised security concerns, the latest indication that warning signs may have been ignored in the lead-up to last month's terror attack. The letters pertain to a dispute between Blue Mountain Libya, the security license holder in Libya, and its operations partner Blue Mountain UK, which trained and provided the local guards. A source with knowledge of two State Department meetings -- one in June and a second in July --

For the Editorial Board: He projects passion for prosperity, freedom and a military so strong that no force on earth would stand a chance of harming us. It is with great enthusiasm that we encourage Americans to vote for Mitt Romney, who may be exactly the person we need for a renewed focus on life, liberty and private pursuits of happiness. In a meeting with The Gazette’s editorial board on Monday, Gov. Romney laid out a plan and vision for America that is in stark contrast to the president’s. He summarized President Obama’s philosophy as “government-centered, government-intensive ...

Former Vice President Walter Mondale was reminiscing about his defeat at the hands of Ronald Reagan in the second largest lopsided electoral vote total in history, 525-13. [Snip] Some people think Mondale's defeat occurred on election day, Nov. 6, 1984. But Mondale told me that he'd realized his doom weeks before the election. It happened during his debate with President Reagan 28 years ago this month. With a straight face and laser focus, the Republican incumbent had launched his pre-planned zinger: "I am not going to exploit, for political purposes, my opponent's youth and inexperience."

Why it Matters:
Social Security

Unless Congress acts, the trust funds that support Social Security will run out of money in 2033, according to the trustees who oversee the retirement and disability program. At that point, Social Security would collect enough tax revenue each year to pay only about 75 percent of benefits. That benefit cut wouldn’t sit well with the millions of older Americans who rely on Social Security for most of their income. Where they stand: President Barack Obama hasn’t laid out a detailed plan for addressing Social Security. He has called for bipartisan talks on strengthening the program, but he didn’t

The U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, was threatened and attacked 13 times before last month's deadly assault, whistle-blowers have told two House Republicans. The Hill reported Reps. Darrell Issa of California and Jason Chaffetz of Utah sent Secretary of State Hillary Clinton a letter Tuesday detailing the allegations. The congressmen said based on information provided to the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform "by individuals with direct knowledge of events in Libya" the Sept. 11 attack that killed U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans "was the latest in a long line of attacks on Western diplomats and officials in the country."

The first head-to-head match-up between President Obama and Mitt Romney on Wednesday is also the first presidential debate where both campaigns will be engaged in a virtual showdown on Twitter.The Twitter debate is crucial not only because it will signal the most memorable moments of the live event, but because the social network is expected to hold the key to which candidate the public believes came out the winner. “The spin room which traditionally followed the debate will now occur in real time on Twitter,” predicted Peter Greenberg, Twitter’s head of political advertising.

WASHINGTON- Within hours of last month's attacks on U.S. diplomatic facilities in Benghazi, Libya, President Barack Obama's administration received about a dozen intelligence reports suggesting militants connected to al Qaeda were involved, three government sources said. Despite these reports, in public statements and private meetings, top U.S. officials spent nearly two weeks highlighting intelligence suggesting that the attacks were spontaneous protests against an anti-Muslim film, while playing down the involvement of organized militant groups. It was not until last Friday that Director of National Intelligence James Clapper's

The Obama campaign and the media have overplayed their hand. By suggesting, for three weeks, that the election is over, they created consternation among Republicans and conservative critics that blunted the effectiveness of Mitt Romney’s message. Yet in so doing, they also forced Americans to consider, for the first time, what another four years for Barack Obama would actually mean. The race is tightening as a result. Whatever voters think of the two candidates, whatever Democrat-heavy samples the pollsters use, there is one basic fact that cannot be fudged: people are unhappy with the state of the country.

Pundits have ridiculed the string of fluff television, radio, and magazine appearances that Barack Obama has been making the last few months. They are wrong. He has a strategy and is executing it well. He is seeking and winning the votes of those Michelle Obama calls knuckleheads. Inside-the-Beltway journalists have decried Barack Obama's refusal to hold many press conferences. His canned speeches and reliance on the teleprompter have provided them with precious few chances to score points among their colleagues for gotcha questions.

"I get so nervous at these debates," a laughing Obama told CNN Chief White House Correspondent Jessica Yellin. "I'm like one of those parents watching their kid on the balance beam. You're just standing there trying not to you know, have any expression at all." Although it may be difficult for her to watch her husband, President Barack Obama, debate on stage, she said she refrains from offering him advice beforehand.

The video of Obama from 2007 will not itself change the election. At that level, it was over-hyped.But it is a reminder of the nasty side of Obama, the side well-hidden, the side which does not hesitate to play racial and class politics when convenient and to his advantage. The side which incessantly pits people against each other and plays on historical grievances and resentments, all the while claiming to do the exact opposite.Just ask the Clintons, who were smeared as racist.

The most recent RealClearPolitics average of the national polls shows President Obama holding a 3.3 point lead over Mitt Romney, 49.1 to 45.1. Additionally, his net job approval rating is now back to about even, 48.8 approve to 48.5 disapprove. It's important not to buy the left wing spin that this race is over: it's not even close to being over. Here's why. First, October is the month of voter decision making. A lot of the polls that show a narrow Obama lead are actually “pushing” undecided voters to make a decision. This will make for interesting swing

A report from the Democratic Policy and Communications Center (DPCC) listing the Democratic Senate majority’s “Accomplishments in the 112th Congress” contains distortions, exaggerations, omissions, and falsehoods. The report, obtained by the Washington Free Beacon, bemoans Republican obstructionism, citing “109 filibusters by Senate Republicans this Congress alone,” but hails legislation passed through the chamber that “will create jobs, cut taxes, strengthen national security, and honor our nation’s veterans.” The report does not mention, however, the Republican charge that the Senate has killed “nearly 40 of our jobs bills.”

Riot police in Iran have clashed with protesters in the capital over sharp falls in the currency, the rial. Tear gas was used to disperse the demonstrators, some of whom were setting fire to tyres and rubbish bins. There were many arrests, reports say. Eyewitnesses told the BBC that scores of people gathered outside the central bank, calling for the governor to stand down, chanting anti-government slogans. The rial has plummeted to record lows against the US dollar in recent days. Up to 100 angry traders and official money lenders gathered in front of Iran's central bank. But they were

I wrote earlier this week that a Somalia-style intervention will have to be undertaken sooner or later in order to break al-Qaeda’s grip on northern Mali. Sure enough, yesterday’s Washington Post reported that American officials are considering this option, with the added possibility that they could choose to extend the drone war to the Sahara. The option of deploying US or Western combat troops is not even up for discussion. The only realistic possibility for dealing with Mali is to apply the Somalia model, namely that African forces would do the fighting and the West would provide funding, logistics and

Immediately after the murder of Chris Stevens, America's Ambassador to Libya, I suggested that the assault on the US consulate in Benghazi on September 11 could have profound consequences for President Barack Obama, particulary if he failed to take appropriate action against the murderers – the most likely candidates being members of al-Qaeda's new terror franchise in Mali.But with the US presidential contest entering its critical final phase, the Obama administration deftly avoided getting into any controversy over the murder of Mr Stevens and three other members of the consulate staff
