Windfall: Obama Raises
$181 Million, Only Around
2% of Donations Reportable

Breitbart.com, by Mike Flynn Original Article

Posted By: brianod1- 10/6/2012 2:27:56 PM Post Reply

The Obama campaign dropped a bombshell this morning. It announced that, combined with the DNC, the campaign raised a staggering $181 million in September. The windfall is a huge increase over July and August, when the campaign raised around $100 million, although it is slightly down from the $193 million it raised in September 2008. The news should raise eyebrows. The campaign said that just over 1.8 million people made donations to the campaign last month. According to the campaign, over 500k of these were brand-new donors, having neither given in 2008 nor 2012.

The Israel Air Force on Saturday shot down an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) that had crossed into Israel's airspace and flew over settlements and military bases in the Negev on Saturday morning, according to the IDF Spokesman's Office. The unmanned aerial vehicle was shot down at around 10am in an open area in the northern Negev by the IAF. The IDF said the UAV was spotted entering Israeli airspace from the Mediterranean sea heading

US winks again at Pakistani terror tactics

As it has happened in the past, Pakistan has been spared the rod by the United States for its international transgressions, this time for its continued patronage of terrorism in the region, in the interest of what Washington believes is American national security. The US state department last month waived legal requirements that made its nearly $ 2 billion annual aid to Pakistan contingent on its cooperation in counter-terrorism, ending nuclear proliferation and building democratic institutions, a Congressional Research Service (CRS) report released recently has revealed.

Three UW professors irked at
some details of Obama's rally

A trio of high-profile UW-Madison professors went public Wednesday with concerns about President Barack Obama's planned Thursday campaign rally, saying students who want to attend are unfairly being required to supply a phone number and email address to the campaign, even having to click "I'm In" to get a free ticket at the campaign's website. "If you want to go to this hugely important and interesting event you have to register with the campaign," said political science professor Donald Downs. "That raises questions." Downs was joined by law professor Ann Althouse and political science professor Ken Mayer

Press corps is M.I.A.

MADISON, Wisc. – It’s the kind of rally the Obama campaign wanted to show off to the world: a crowd of 30,000 students showing up for President Obama on a quadrangle on the leafy University of Wisconsin campus. But a day after Obama’s lackluster debate performance, the president’s bad fortune continued: Though the crowd and the president showed up, the national press corps did not. Because of a mix-up at the Denver airport, the press corps’ charter plane was delayed about half an hour en route to Madison, Wis., and failed to arrive on time.

Obama Caves In to Kremlin Repression

As the U.S. presidential election approaches, President Barack Obama's "reset" with Russia has been dealt two painful blows, both of which are either directly or indirectly the fault of the Obama administration. After working in Russia since 1992, USAID was ordered to close the doors of its Moscow office by Monday. Meanwhile, U.S. government-funded Radio Liberty will also close down its radio broadcasting effective Nov. 10. Freedom and democracy in Russia has suffered two major setbacks, only worsening the situation with freedom of speech and human rights.

Generic antidepressant pulled from
U.S. shelves after FDA finding

The Food and Drug Administration took a highly unusual step this week: It acknowledged that a widely used generic drug -- a copycat of the antidepressant Wellbutrin XL -- was not the equivalent of the original drug produced by GlaxoSmithKline since 2003. (Snip) In recent years, a number of pharmacologists have raised concerns about the FDA's standards for approving a range of generic medications -- concerns that the agency has turned away with the unbending assertion that all generics on the market are "the same as those brand-name drugs in dosage form, safety, strength, route of administration, quality,

How did we get to where we are in our culture and our politics today? I have wondered this since Obama took office and started exacting his socialist agenda on our great country. There is plenty of blame to go around—complacency, greed, laziness, apathy. I submit that churches may not have caused the problems we have today, but certainly could have curtailed the advancement of tyranny.(Snip) This weekend is “Pulpit Freedom Sunday” in churches across the country. Pastors in pulpits across the country will not only endorse candidates from the pulpit, but will also send

Like any entitled welfare addict, if you want to hear some squealing from Big Bird, all you have to do is hint that after decades of being on the government dole, maybe it's time to get off the taxpayer teat and take care of yourself. Heaven forbid. After all, it's hard out here for a puppet that takes in a cool $50 million a year off of merchandising alone. QUESTION: Why are taxpayers buried in $16 trillion in debt subsidizing a puppet richer than Mitt Romney? ANSWER: That's racist.

Plouffe: We Expected Aggressive,
Not Dishonest Mitt

We all wondered which tack the Obama campaign would take after Wednesday night’s debacle. Now we know; they’re claiming that Mitt Romney is a liar. Top aide David Plouffe said that Team Obama was unprepared for the "remarkable" level of "dishonesty" displayed by Mitt Romney: We expected an aggressive Mitt Romney – that’s who he is. And in the primary, it was clear that the truth was really not his primary concern, but I still think it was remarkable to see him start the debate essentially... saying I don’t have a $5 trillion tax cut plan. Think about that.

Calif. gas prices equal
all-time high

LOS ANGELES- The price of gasoline equaled the all-time average high in California of $4.61 a gallon Saturday, fueled by a reduced supply and a volatile market. Prices throughout the state were expected to increase for several more days before leveling off, after a temporary reduction in supply triggered a price spike that saw fuming motorists paying $5 or more per gallon in some locations and station owners shutting down pumps in others. AAA's Daily Fuel Gauge report released Saturday said the average price for a gallon of regular unleaded across California rose 12 cents from its Friday mark

President Barack Obama’s campaign raised an eye-popping $181 million in September, belying months of claims that he is being out-raised by his challenger, Mitt Romney. “We … raised $181 million in September from 1.8 million Americans — more than 567,000 of whom gave for the first time,” said a 10.24 A.M. email from the campaign. The funds were raised by both Obama’s campaign and the Democratic National Committee. The news will be a morale-booster for Democratic partisans, who were shocked by Obama’s stunning defeat in the first presidential debate

Jobs numbers give Obama a boost

Chicago Sun-Times, by Lynn Sweet Original Article

The monthly jobs report out Friday — unemployment down to 7.8 percent, the lowest of his presidency — was a shot of great news for President Barack Obama as Mitt Romney continues to slam him for the slow rate of economic recovery. Underscore this: There is a recovery. Job creation is one of the defining issues of the Obama-Romney contest, and the uptick — welcomed by the Obama team — hardly takes Obama’s record as a job creator off the Romney table. Both Romney and Obama stumped Friday in Virginia, a battleground state.

CEO vs Chair Man

A month ago, Clint Eastwood’s Obama empty-chair shtick was universally agreed by liberals to have been a disaster for Romney. Now, it’s on the cover of The New Yorker. The artist, Barry Blitt, says it wasn’t the easiest of assignments: “This image seemed like a proper response to the first Presidential debate,” Blitt told the New Yorker’s Culture Desk. “But I’m not sure I realized how hard it is to caricature furniture.” That’s what hiring John Kerry as debate-coach gets you. When they put the Empty Chair on Mount Rushmore, I hope they append that quote underneath.

Gallup still has Obama up by 5, but that's a 7 day rolling average so movement won't be expected there until next week. But Rasmussen has a three day rolling average, and two of those days have data from after the debate. While Rasmussen will be a little more volatile, Romney has surged into the lead by 2 points according to the pollster: The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Saturday shows Mitt Romney attracting support from 49% of voters nationwide, while President Obama earns the vote from 47%. Two percent (2%) prefer some other

During his opening monologue tonight, Bill Maher admitted he was not happy with how President Obama did during his first big debate this week. He told his audience that Obama undeniably “sucked” during the debate, and surmised that the million dollars he gave to the campaign was probably spent on weed. Maher surmised that because Wednesday was Obama’s anniversary, “he apparently had the sex first and was completely spent” for the debate. He contrasted Romney looking “charged up” with Obama looking like Michael Jackson on diprivan. Maher admitted that Obama “sucked” during the debate, and made a joke

Entitlements: Lost in all the attention to Mitt Romney's rout in Wednesday's debate was a gross factual error Barack Obama made when he addressed Social Security. No, Mr. President, it is not "structurally sound." At the beginning of the third segment of the debate, moderator Jim Lehrer asked the candidates to address economic issues and, specifically, their differing views on Social Security. Obama responded by saying "Social Security is structurally sound . .. the basic structure is sound." Maybe under some tortured definition the entitlement is sound. But in the real world, it's in trouble. Social Security is now in its

LOS ANGELES — California gas prices will increase for several more days before leveling off after a temporary reduction in supply triggered a price spike that saw fuming motorists paying $5 or more per gallon in some locations and station owners shutting down pumps in others. The Golden State leapfrogged Hawaii as the state with the most expensive fuel. The average price for a gallon of regular unleaded across California was nearly $4.49 on Friday, 32 cents more than a week ago and the highest statewide average in the nation, according to AAA's Daily Fuel Gauge report.

Even If Obama Did Cook The

Jobs: When jobs data came out Friday showing the unemployment rate had suddenly plunged to 7.8%, former GE CEO Jack Welch tweeted that "these Chicago guys will do anything . .. can't debate so change numbers." In the past, we've tended to dismiss such conspiracy talk when it comes to the government's jobs data. After all, those are career professionals, not political hacks, crunching the numbers. So let's leave aside the fact that the BLS numbers suggest that while the economy created just 114,000 jobs in September, the number of people employed somehow rocketed up by 873,000

Leadership: President Obama made much of his duty to protect at Wednesday's debate. But his record shows little heed for that, not just in Benghazi, but also inside America, which may be Mexico's new cartel battlefield. According to a CBS News report, three of Mexico's cartels are fighting pitched battles in Chicago, and it's their turf wars that are driving its murder rate skyward in violence that shockingly resembles that of Juarez, Mexico. Chicago recorded 391 murders this year, a sharp 40% rise for the year, signaling even to laymen that there's a new thug on the block adapting

ATLANTA — Andrelton Simmons lifted a pop fly into shallow left field. Not a hard-hit ball, by any means, but at least 50 feet beyond the infield. St. Louis shortstop Pete Kozma drifted back, throwing up his hand in that universal baseball gesture, "I've got it." Only one problem. Right before the ball came down, the rookie veered out of the way, apparently thinking left fielder Matt Holliday was going to take it. The ball dropped harmlessly in the grass. The crowd roared, thinking the Atlanta Braves had loaded the bases with one out. Only one problem.

Do you think Barack Obama knows who Ernie Banks is? Count me a skeptic. The purported White Sox fanatic couldn’t name a single player for the home team on the South Side, so I doubt he knows Wrigley Field from his beloved “Cominskey Field.” But even if the president was never gripped by the Cub slugger’s infectious calling card — “Let’s play two today!” — he has now heard the Mitt Romney version: “It’s fun, isn’t it?” That’s how the GOP nominee bucked up a befuddled Jim Lehrer during Wednesday night’s ground-shifting debate.

Race tightening, but
Obama's still in the lead

Washington— A large drop in the nation's jobless rate gave President Obama an unexpected boost Friday in his increasingly competitive contest with Republican challenger Mitt Romney. The decline to 7.8% brought the unemployment rate below 8% for the first time since the first full month of Obama's presidency and cheered the president's partisans. Based on the reactions to past reports, it's unlikely to change voters' overall sense of how the country is doing economically. Still, the announcement did have one big benefit for Obama: shifting attention away from his lackluster performance in the first presidential debate less than 36 hours

Hello, this is Mitt Romney. And this week, we saw several reminders of the clear choice we face in this election — and why we can’t afford four more years like the last four years. First came a new economic study about the debt that President Obama has put in place and, of course, about the debt that he’s planning on adding in a second term. Simply to pay the interest this debt, middle-class families will face a $4,000-a-year tax hike.
