Krauthammer On Obama's Debate
Performance: "He Isn't Half As
Intelligent As He Thinks He Is"

"Look, people say, Obama was off his game. This is his game. If you take away a prompter, this is his game. He'll occasionally give a great speech, but if you look at him in his news conferences, which where you don't have a prompter and the president has more control, he gets to ask to decide who the questioner is and he gets to decide how long he talks, and what parts of an answer he'll give, he never does well. So this is who he is. I think people -- he's intelligent, but he isn't half

Supporters, Romney fired up

FISHERSVILLE — Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney emphasized job creation and economic recovery for an overflow crowd at Augusta Expoland on Thursday that saw him hit on many of the same points he covered during the presidential debate Wednesday. Romney criticized President Barack Obama for offering a recovery plan the challenger called “more of the same” — except for the president’s proposal to raise taxes on the wealthy. “I don’t want to raise taxes on anybody,” Romney told the crowd. A statement from Obama’s campaign in Virginia accused Romney of shifting policy stances and misleading statements about his position on Medicare.

The first post-debate polls are just starting to get released, and in both Ohio, Florida, and Virginia (if you believed the wildly skewed media polls showing insurmountable leads for Obama), Mitt Romney has bounced back in ways the corrupt media said was impossible. According Rasmussen, in Ohio, the race is statistically tied among likely voters with Obama ahead by only a single point: 50-49%. In a tighter screen meant to gauge enthusiasm and "certainty" of voting, it's Romney who takes the lead, 52-48%.

LOS ANGELES – It looks like Seth MacFarlane's Oscar honeymoon may be over. Last week, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences selected the creator of the "Family Guy" and "American Dad" animated series to follow in the footsteps of legends like Johnny Carson, Bob Hope and Billy Crystal to host next year’s Oscars ceremony. But this week, MacFarlane is being criticized following a recent episode of one of his FOX cartoons. On Thursday, the Parents Television Council (PTC) issued an alert to its members, requesting that they file a formal complaint with the Federal Communications

Labor secretary 'insulted' by

Labor Secretary Hilda Solis said she is “insulted” by charges Friday from conservatives who say the Obama administration manipulated September’s jobs report to boost the president’s reelection chances. Solis said the claims — by Rep. Allen West (R-Fla.) and former General Electric chairman Jack Welch — that her department fudged the employment numbers were “ludicrous.” "I'm insulted when I hear that, because we have a very professional civil service organization where you have top, top economists," Solis said on CNBC.

To those who have been willing to see Barack Obama for the man he is, the newly released video of the racialist stupidities he spewed for 40 minutes in a 2007 speech in Virginia is not the least bit surprising. The video only confirms what has long been obvious—that the President is a bitter, angry man who views the United States as a profoundly racist nation—hence the need to “fundamentally transform” it, as he says, “brick by brick, block by block.” Only such a man—an America-hater to his core—could have willfully allied himself for years with

WASHINGTON A team of FBI agents arrived in Benghazi, Libya, to investigate the assault against the U.S. Consulate and left after about 12 hours on the ground as the hunt for those possibly connected to the attack that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans narrowed to one or two people in an extremist group, U.S. officials said Thursday. Agents arrived in Benghazi before dawn on Thursday and departed after sunset, after weeks of waiting for access to the crime scene to investigate the Sept. 11 attack. The agents and several dozen U.S. special operations

Obama's Debate Con?

American Thinker, by Lee DeCovnick Original Article

Barack Obama has always been a fine actor and Wednesday night he deftly played the role of a debate loser with Oscar-worthy brilliance. I think it was a con. During my college days I hustled pool to make ends meet. The "hustle" was to give the "mark" enough adrenaline that he really thought he could beat me with money on the line. That meant losing decisively, with feigned emotion, early and often. Isn't that what's happening now, after the first debate, a simple hustle to create the appropriate emotions in the Obama base?

In September 1962, the Beatles went into EMI's Abbey Road studios in north London to record their first single. The A-side was Love Me Do, one of the least original in John Lennon and Paul McCartney's burgeoning songbook. Through it ran a harmonica riff played by Lennon and shamelessly cribbed from Bruce Channel's recent hit, Hey Baby. The lyrics were rudimentary: "Love, love me do … you know I love you … I'll always be true." No one then recognised a sound with power to change the world. Brian Epstein, the Beatles' newly appointed manager,

As soon as ex-General Electric CEO Jack Welch fired off a tweet questioning today's just released "unbelievable jobs numbers," the media went into a frenzy talking about how "conservatives" were launching conspiracy theories. Well, that's handy for the media and the Obama campaign, but it's not just "conservatives" who are confused by a full 0.3% drop in unemployment when only 114k jobs were created. CNBC is as confused as the rest of us: Job growth remained tame in September, with the economy creating just 114,000 net new positions though the unemployment rate fell to 7.8 percent

My father taught me how to throw a baseball and divide big numbers in my head and build a life where I’d be home in time to eat dinner with my kid most nights. He and my mother put me through college and urged me to follow my dreams. He never complained when I entered a field even less respected than his. He lives across the country and still calls just to check in and say he loves me. His name is Tom. He is 63, tall and lean, a contracts lawyer in a small Oregon town. A few wisps

A state prisons panel granted parole to a notorious killer described as a “right-hand man” to Charles Manson, but there was already a growing movement to keep him in prison. It will be ultimately up to Gov. Jerry Brown to determine whether Bruce Davis, 69, walks out of California Men's Colony in San Luis Obispo after spending more than four decades behind bars. (Snip)Saying he “would pose an unreasonable risk of danger to society,” then-Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger blocked a 2010 recommendation to parole Davis.

The latest NBC/WSJ/Marist poll gives President Obama an eight-point lead in Ohio, and the RealClearPolitics average shows Obama ahead by 5.5 percent. Obama beat John McCain in Ohio by 4.8 percent, and if we are to believe these polls, President Obama is on track to beat Mitt Romney there by an even wider margin — despite the down economic indicators and a lack of excitement for the president. But that’s not going to happen. With a month to go in this election, the one real performance indicator we have for Ohio — early absentee ballot requests — shows Republicans

ABC News has obtained an internal State Department email from May 3, 2012, indicating that the State Department denied a request from the security team at the Embassy of Libya to retain a DC-3 airplane in the country to better conduct their duties. Copied on the email was U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens, who was killed in a terrorist attack on the diplomatic post in Benghazi, Libya, Sept. 11, 2012, along with three other Americans. That attack has prompted questions about whether the diplomatic personnel in that country were provided with adequate security support.

President Barack Obama said in Wednesday night’s presidential debate that Social Security is “structurally sound,” but Social Security’s Board of Trustees said in their 2012 annual report that the program faced $8.6 trillion in “unfunded obligations”--meaning that it is currently obligated to pay out $8.6 trillion more in benefits than it is anticipated to bring in through taxes. During Wednesday debate, moderator Jim Lehrer asked Obama: “Do you see a major difference between the two of you on Social Security?” “I suspect that on Social Security we've got a somewhat similar position,” Obama responded. “Social Security

Going for exceptional

One large, strategic question at the center of the presidential race: In order to beat President Obama, does Mitt Romney need to be an exceptional candidate or merely an acceptable one? For much of the campaign, Romney and his team have operated according to the acceptability theory. Obama, in this view, is a vulnerable incumbent who will eventually be undone by a stagnant economy. With 54 percent of likely voters already agreeing that Obama does not deserve re-election, Romney (the argument goes) just needs to be a viable alternative – an imaginable president (Snip)But the approach didn’t work.

Conventional wisdom about politics is usually wrong. That is why I often disagree with it. But I can’t recall a time when I disagreed more profoundly with the conventional wisdom that has coalesced around a major news event. In last night’s debate, I just didn’t see the overwhelming, game-changing victory for Mitt Romney that his supporters are touting all over television and the Internet today. I didn’t see the humiliating defeat for President Obama that some liberals saw as they began their bellyaching about how President Obama has lost his momentum and could now lose the election.

Anger over decision to free Charles

A parole board’s decision to free Charles Manson’s right hand man after 40 years behind bars caused an outcry last night. The recommendation to parole 69-year-old Bruce Davis came after the double-murderer’s 27th appearance before the board. Davis was 30 years old when he was sentenced to life in prison in 1972 in a case that was a postscript to Manson's notorious reign as leader of the murderous cult known as the Manson family. He was not involved in the infamous Sharon Tate murders in 1969, but he was convicted with Manson and another

Is it time to bomb Libya? If ever Barack Obama needed a “Wag the Dog” moment, this is it. The mainstream media are still in a state of shock, disbelief. They feel worse than Seamus the dog did at the end of his roof-crate trip to Michigan. Good luck getting a grief counselor this weekend. They’re all over at MSNBC and Morrissey Boulevard. Never bring a community organizer to a CEO fight. Barack was Richard III on Bosworth Field, minus the hunchback: “A teleprompter, a teleprompter, my kingdom for a teleprompter.”

Former General Electric Co.

That pushed the unemployment rate to 7.8 percent, the lowest since President Barack Obama took office in January 2009.

Presidential candidate Mitt Romney did not have anything good to say about Friday’s jobs report showing unemployment down to 7.8 percent. “This is not what a real recovery looks like,” he said in a statement. “The results of President Obama’s failed policies are staggering – 23 million Americans struggling for work, nearly one in six living in poverty and 47 million people dependent on food stamps to feed themselves and their families.” Instead of the lower unemployment rate, Romney focused on the fact that only 114,000 jobs were created in September, fewer than in previous months.

Did Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D., Nev.) violate the Senate’s ethics rules governing campaign activity? Reid’s Senate office issued a press release on the Senator’s official website titled “Now Romney Is Being Dishonest About Your Taxes.” For months Mitt Romney has been dishonest about his own taxes, but now he is being dishonest about your taxes. When he was asked to answer for his proposal to give huge breaks to millionaires and billionaires while raising taxes on middle-class Americans, Mitt Romney feigned ignorance and tried to disavow his own tax plan.
