Biden Admits: 'Yes We Do'
Want To Raise Taxes $1T

Breitbart's Big Government, by John Nolte Original Article

Posted By: KarenJ1- 10/4/2012 4:36:31 PM Post Reply

This is a huge gaffe on Vice President Joe Biden's part. Instead of using the dishonest language of "letting the Bush tax cuts expire," Biden finally comes straight out and tells the truth: BIDEN: You know the phrase they always use? "Obama and Biden want to raise taxes by a trillion dollars." Guess what? Yes we do, in one regard. We want to let that trillion dollar tax cut expire so the middle class doesn’t have to bare the burden of all that money going to the super wealthy. This is exactly what Mitt Romney was talking about

Barack Obama's top strategist said that the campaign will take a 'hard look' at how to approach future debates in the light of last night's failure - and appealed to the media to challenge Mitt Romney on the issues which the President avoided in Denver.[Snip] The remarks came after the Obama campaign was left reeling by Mr Romney's knockout performance in the candidates' first head-to-head clash, with polls suggesting that voters regarded the former governor of Massachusetts as the debate winner by a margin of more than two to one. Democratic strategists are now fighting to preserve the narrow

Ann Romney will fill in for Robin Roberts on ABC's "Good Morning America" on Oct. 10, and the program is also looking for first lady Michelle Obama to co-host in the run-up to the election, according to a report. Romney will appear alongside co-anchor George Stephanopoulos and correspondents Lara Spencer, Josh Elliott and Sam Champion next Wednesday, The Hollywood Reporter reported.

Denver - Under fire from critics on the left and right for his performance at the first presidential debate, President Obama arrived here for a chilly morning-after rally armed with rejoinders to arguments made by Republican rival Mitt Romney – rejoinders which were not delivered in the heat of debate last night. Obama told the crowd of 12,000 huddled along the shoreline at Sloan’s Lake Park that the man he faced was a “very spirited fellow who claimed to be Mitt Romney,” but who espoused positions in conflict with what “the real Mitt Romney” has been touting on the campaign

Former New Hampshire Gov. John Sununu, a Romney campaign co-chair and top surrogate, railed against President Barack Obama today after last night's debate, telling MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell that the president was "lazy and disengaged." "What people saw last night was, I think, a president that revealed his incompetence, how lazy and detached he is, and how he has absolutely no idea how serious the economic problems of the country are," Sununu said on MSNBC's "Mitchell Reports."

Earlier this week, Mitt Romney said he will not cancel President Barack Obama's deferred action program for young illegal immigrants before instituting another immigration plan. It seems Harry Reid did not get that memo, and instead sent out one of his own. His memo warns that Romeny, if elected, "would 'not honor deportation exemptions'". The press release quotes the Boston Globe, but the article actually says the opposite: Romney’s campaign said he would honor deportation exemptions issued by the Obama administration before his inauguration but would not grant new ones after taking office.

Vice President Biden on Thursday defended President Obama's debate peformance, praising Obama for doing "well" and looking "presidential." "I think the president did well. He was presidential," Biden said just before he gave a campaign speech in Council Bluffs, Iowa. "You just don’t ever know what game, what positions Gov. [Mitt] Romney’s going to come with." (Snip) Biden also argued the debate revealed GOP nominee Mitt Romney doesn't have a clear position on taxes.

On his syndicated radio show Thursday afternoon, conservative host Rush Limbaugh had a strong description for President Barack Obama‘s performance at last night’s first presidential debate. Comparing Obama’s debate showing to how he was received in 2008, Limbaugh said it was one of the most significant “falls from great heights” that he has ever witnessed. Citing Democratic consultant Lanny Davis‘ advice this morning that Obama “smile, be gracious, don’t look down,” Limbaugh mocked the president for having to take “sixth-grade debate instructions.” “This is the junior-high debate review,” Limbaugh continued. “No, you look at your opponent.

For the first time, Philadelphia resident Viviette Applewhite actually got a state-issued photo ID from the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation. It was an important moment that went practically unnoticed when it it took place in August, according to Horace Cooper of Project 21 and Justin Danhof, general counsel for the National Center for Public Policy. “Applewhite is 93-years-old, does not drive, is confined to a wheelchair, lacks many personal identification documents, and yet she managed to get herself -- with no assistance from the ACLU -- to her local PennDot office, where she was issued an ID,” Danhof explained. “If

While President Obama and Mitt Romney were trying to tout their economic plans, the social media sphere was massively distracted by a big yellow bird – Big Bird that is. After Romney said, “I love Big Bird,” but that he plans to cut funding for PBS anyhow, social media exploded with tweets about the “Sesame Street” character. According to Twitter data, the words “Big Bird” were tweeted 17,000 times per minute and “PBS,” the channel that airs “Sesame Street,” peaked at 10,000 tweets per minute.”Big Bird” was also the fourth highest-rising search term on Google.

Kedjwick, New Brunswick - Police in Canada have seized more than 600 barrels of maple syrup in New Brunswick as part of an investigation into the theft of millions worth of syrup in Quebec and are transporting it back to Quebec under police protection, officials said Wednesday.

When Barack Obama entered the debate hall at the University of Denver Wednesday night, the air was clear and warm. When he left, the winds where whipping and the temperature had dropped 20 degrees. Coincidentally, that was also the same number of undecided voters who thought the president had a good debate. In two different polls of undecided voters by CNN and CBS, Obama received grim reviews. In the CBS poll, 46 percent thought Romney had done the better job. Only 22 percent thought Obama prevailed. (Snip) In another poll conducted with a group of "Wal-Mart Moms" in Las Vegas

A lot of Democrats and people on the left are upset with President Barack Obama's debate performance, but liberal filmmaker Michael Moore's meltdown during the debate was a pretty significant indicator of their collective feelings. Moore started out the night by telling his followers he'd be live tweeting the debate. Did he ever. He fired off 24 tweets and retweeted multiple others slamming Obama. He covered all topics of discontent: Wishing for Bill Clinton instead, slamming Obama's choice of John Kerry as Obama's "debate coach" (he played the part of Romney in rehearsals) and blaming moderator Jim Lehrer.

Canada avoided many of the mistakes that the U.S. made in its housing market. Banking regulations and lending standards have been much tighter, and that has prevented prices from getting completely out of control. However, top economists including Robert Shiller and David Rosenberg are increasingly sounding alarms that the Canadian housing market is the next bubble and its about to burst. Canadian home prices are up nearly 100 percent since 2000, according to Euro Pacific Capital.

Can we call this the Romney rally? Considering stocks have been higher all day despite a dearth of catalysts, some market participants are pointing to Republican candidate Mitt Romney’s perceived victory over President Obama in last night’s debate as a potential catalyst for the rally. “U.S. equities are getting a Romney push,” says Andrew Brenner, global head of international fixed income at National Alliance. “Seems like the marketplace believes Romney is better for stocks and the economy.”

Last night, President Barack and Michelle Obama celebrated their 20th wedding anniversary, as he debated his Republican challenger Mitt Romney as well. On Thursday morning’s “Fox & Friends,” conservative commentator Ann Coulter suggested the president didn’t deliver the performance to woo his wife on such an occasion. Coulter, author of “Mugged: Racial Demagoguery from the Seventies to Obama,” said the president came off as someone that didn’t want to be re-elected. “I think he’s trying to transmit to the American people he doesn’t want this job,” Coulter said. “‘Relieve me of my duties.

National Public Radio (NPR) reporters watched Tuesday's presidential debate with four Virginia voters, three of whom voted for President Barack Obama in 2008, and a consensus thought Romney won the debate. NPR went to Virginia’s Prince William County, which is one of the most important swing counties in the swing states. They watched the debate with four voters, and the “consensus was that Mitt Romney won the debate” because he came off as more “focused and “sincere.” Those in the group thought Obama “seemed to be struggling to make his point” and described Obama’s demeanor as “distracted,” “tired,” and “dour.”

Michael Kinsley once defined “gaffe” as the accidental telling of a political truth. That definition aptly describes the jaw-dropping admission from Joe Biden on the campaign trail this week. (Snip) For two of the last four years, his party controlled Congress by large majorities, as well as the two years that preceded those, and Biden’s party has controlled the Senator for all six years. In fact, both Biden and Obama sat in the Senate previously, Obama for four and Biden for decades. If the middle class has been buried, it’s been on their watch. Is this a political inconvenient truth?

In a remarkable reversal of fortune for President Obama in Ohio, the GOP has closed the huge gap in absentee ballot requests used by early voters that favored the Democrats and the president in 2008, setting up what one state analyst said could be a Mitt Romney blowout on Election Day. While in 2008, 33 percent of the 1,158,301 absentee ballots went to Democrats and just 19 percent to registered Republicans, a 14-point gap, this year 29 percent are being requested by Democrats and 24 percent by Republicans, a five-point gap.

DENVER – A stunned Obama campaign acknowledged Thursday that President Barack Obama delivered a lackluster and even ineffectual performance in his leadoff debate against Mitt Romney, mistakenly opting for a cautious approach to handling his opponent that all too often left Obama looking timid and disengaged. Democrats close to the president privately acknowledge that their candidate appeared flat and uninspired against a more animated challenger, resulting in the worst debate showing he’s had since the early days of the 2008 campaign. Even more frustrating to many Obama supporters was the fact that the president’s muted tone was at least
