Poll: Voters believe Obama wants
tax hikes to increase spending,
not cut deficit

Washington Examiner, by Joel Gehrke Original Article

Posted By: afortiori- 10/8/2012 12:30:00 PM Post Reply

President Obama claims that tax increases will help close the deficit, but a majority of Americans believe he intends to use the money for increased spending, according to a new survey. “You can’t reduce the deficit unless you take a balanced approach that says, ‘We’ve gotta make government leaner and more efficient,’” Obama told CBS last month. “But we’ve also got to ask people – like me or Gov. Romney, who have done better than anybody else over the course of the last decade, and whose taxes are just about lower than they’ve been in the last 50 years

Hypocrisy on Those Foreign
Campaign Contributions

National Review Online, by Eliana Johnson Original Article

I noted earlier Peter Schweizer’s comprehensive report on the vulnerability of the Obama campaign, among others, to foreign and fraudulent campaign contributions. That the Obama campaign has left itself wide open to contributions from foreign nationals is particularly galling given the concern the president and his senior advisers have expressed over such contributions. In his 2010 State of the Union Address, the president slammed the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision because, “I don’t think American elections should be bankrolled by America’s most powerful interests, or worse, by foreign entities.” Let’s go to the tape:

Republican nominee Mitt Romney is giving a highly pumped-up foreign policy speech hammering President Barack Obama on the recent attacks in Libya. Here's the full text of Romney's speech: "I particularly appreciate the introduction from my good friend and tireless campaign companion, Gov. Bob McDonnell. He is showing what conservative leadership can do to build a stronger economy.

Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) says federal regulators need to investigate whether gasoline companies are illegally coordinating price increases in California. Feinstein wants the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to probe gasoline wholesalers after prices for a premium blend of gasoline shot up 97 cents per gallon last week. She says gasoline traders might have maliciously shorted the market, a claim those traders denied. Specifically, Feinstein wants the FTC to create a permanent oversight committee to monitor oil markets and gasoline prices. She also wants the FTC to enhance its gasoline and oil market data collection and analysis.

President Obama quipped Sunday night that energy efficiency initiatives are not a “socialist plot” in remarks that contrasted his energy policies with rival Mitt Romney’s. The president, fundraising in Los Angeles, addressed energy during a $25,000-per-plate dinner with backers that included actor George Clooney. “On energy, I’m big on oil and gas, and developing clean coal technology, but I also believe that if we’re ever going to have control of our energy future, then we’ve got to invest in solar and wind and biofuels, and that it does make sense for us to double our

Mr. Champion tweeted on Friday he’s “never been happier” to share a bit of personal news. ABC says Mr. Champion and Mr. Robierb met through mutual friends in Miami, where Mr. Robierb lives.

The dismantling of Barack Obama

The unraveling of President Obama, captured on live television and watched by some 70 million Americans, brings to mind a tale of a proud and pretentious emperor whose only care in life was to dress in elegant clothes. In case you’ve forgotten, two tailors appear with the most extraordinary cloth, invisible to anyone too stupid or incompetent to see. The emperor’s minions all pretend they can see it, so he does, too. When he parades across the kingdom in his new suit, the masses also pretend they see it. But a little boy blurts out,

Mitt Romney has a 40-point lead over President Obama among active and reserve service members, according to a new poll from the Military Times. The survey found Romney with a wide 66-26 lead that is similar to the advantage enjoyed by Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) over Obama in the 2008 race. For military voters, the economy was by far the most important issue, with 41 percent of respondents saying it was most important issue for them in the 2012 race. National security came in at just 16 percent. The Military Times poll surveyed 3,100 active duty,

In a foreign policy speech at Virginia Military Institute today, Mitt Romney will provide a comprehensive critique of President Obama's national security policy. In excerpts released by the campaign, Romney argues: “The attacks on America last month should not be seen as random acts. They are expressions of a larger struggle that is playing out across the broader Middle East — a region that is now in the midst of the most profound upheaval in a century. And the fault lines of this struggle can be seen clearly in Benghazi itself.” Romney continues, “The attack on our Consulate

CNN media critic Howard Kurtz weighed in on the news that Ann Romney, wife of presidential candidate Mitt Romney, will co-host at least an hour of Good Morning America on ABC next week. Kurtz tore into ABC’s decision to give a co-hosting spot to either Ann Romney or first lady Michelle Obama while they are actively campaigning for their husbands. He said that this seat “should be reserved for journalists.” Kurtz is, however, fine with GMA offering the same co-hosting opportunity to entertainers like Comedy Central host Stephen Colbert or media mogul and

In advance of GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney’s visit to Virginia today to deliver a foreign policy speech, President Barack Obama’s campaign released a new TV ad here hitting Romney on the subject. “Reckless. Amateurish. That’s what news media and fellow Republicans called Mitt Romney’s gaffe-filled July tour of England, Israel and Poland,” the ad’s narrator says. “When our U.S. diplomats were attacked in Libya, The New York Times said Romney’s knee-jerk response showed an extraordinary lack of presidential character,” the ad continues. “And even Republican experts said Romney’s remarks were the worst possible reaction

Given the shellacking Barack Obama took at last week's presidential debate with Mitt Romney, one would have thought NBC's Saturday Night Live would have had no difficulty finding material to spoof the event. Not so according to New York magazine which published a piece Monday entitled "Unlike the Rest of the World, SNL Had a Hard Time Joking About the Debate": In an unusual move, NBC allowed the New York Times to sit in on SNL's writing and rehearsal process last week. The paper reports that mining the debates for comedy was surprisingly difficult,

Political signs on private residential property are unlikely to sway undecided voters, but they do say something about the owners' personal values. Lawn maintenance and general property upkeep also reflect one's values. After casually surveying my neighborhood during my daily jogging jaunts, I noticed a pattern: Unkempt lawns have more signs supporting Democrat candidates, whereas neat properties proudly sport signs favoring Republican candidates.

Suburbanites of Ohio, listen up. As swing voters in the ultimate swing state, you will have an outsized impact on this election. President Obama has pledged to govern in the interests of middle-class voters like you. With so much resting on your shoulders, that is a promise you should scrutinize with care. What exactly are Obama’s plans for Ohio’s suburban communities? The answer may shock you. President Obama aims to help Ohio’s Democrats bail out your state’s struggling cities by forcibly transferring suburban tax money to urban treasuries. It’s a bold plan to redistribute the wealth of Ohio’s suburbs.

"So you don't think that's questioning their patriotism when you say that?" -- An incredulous George Stephanopoulos of ABC News in an Oct. 18, 2004 interview asking President George W. Bush about his charge that Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry’s plan to withdraw from Iraq was “surrender.” After President Obama’s sour showing in last week’s debate, he and his team adopted a curious seeming response. Team Obama said Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney, a man Democrats (and Republicans) have long been saying is a stiff, awkward, un-relatable bore, was a slick and artful politician. Huh?

A groundbreaking new report raises serious questions as to whether President Barack Obama’s reelection campaign is knowingly, and illegally, accepting and soliciting donations from foreign nationals. The Government Accountability Institute (GAI), run by Stanford University research fellow Peter Schweizer, conducted an extensive, six-month investigation examining the potential for fraudulent and foreign funds being funneled to U.S. political campaigns via the Internet. The “alarming” results detailed in the report, GAI found, highlight “a serious and systemic threat to the integrity of the U.S. election system” that demands a full-scale investigation by federal authorities.

Gallup: Romney scored

According to a new Gallup poll of those who watched last week's presidential debate, 72% picked Mitt Romney as the winner, while only 20% thought Barack Obama won. That''s the biggest win in history, exceeding even Bill Clinton's 42% advantage in his townhall debate over George H.W. Bush (the one where Bush checked his watch). The numbers on Romney vs. Obama reflect those of snap opinion polls. According to Gallup, Republicans gave him a 95% win over Obama, Independents picked him, 70%-19%, and even Democrats thought Romney won, 49%-39%. But does that really matter?

LOS ANGELES –If President Obama comes back to Los Angeles after Nov. 6, he’ll return without his ATM card to withdraw money from the city’s deep-pocketed donors for his campaign. So Obama’s remarks to 150 or so contributors at the Ritz-Carlton Sunday night had an air of nostalgia, along with a firm commitment to honor their support by “closing the deal” in the final 30 days of the campaign. “To all of you here tonight, I want to say how grateful I am. But I also want to tell you we’re not finished yet,”

KEENE, Calif. — President Obama is poised to make a bit of history when he visits this Tehachapi Mountain hamlet Monday to dedicate the Cesar E. Chavez National Monument, the nation's first such site to honor a contemporary Mexican American. He'll also be sending a message. By stopping at an out-of-the-way corner of a state already safely in his column — less than a month before the Nov. 6 election — Obama is reaching out to Latino voters, underscoring their growing importance in presidential politics. Most polls show Obama expected to get about 70% of the Latino vote,

A new report obtained by Townhall from the non-partisan Government Accountability Institute [GAI] shows the Obama campaign has potentially violated federal election law by failing to prevent the use of fraudulent or foreign credit card transactions on the official Obama for America [OFA] donation webpage. For the past eight months, GAI has been investigating the potential influence of foreign online campaign donations in House, Senate and presidential elections. The report was conducted using spidering software and found thousands of foreign sites linking to campaign donation pages. The investigation was conducted with the guidance of a former U.S. attorney.

Mitt Romney sure did what he needed to do in last week’s debate. He ran rings around the president, who looked half the time like he was barely interested in being there. A number of—no, most of—Romney’s assertions about his plans were false or misleading. But Barack Obama failed utterly to rebut them. Those 90 minutes made it a new race. This week, the spotlight turns to Joe Biden and Paul Ryan, who square off Thursday. We know what Biden is capable of, for good and for ill.

“The past is never dead,” William Faulkner said, “it’s not even past.” The progressives’ fury over Obama’s meltdown in last week’s debate, and their desperate efforts to get him reelected by any means possible, have to be understood in the context of the long history of the left’s attempt to impose its ideology on the United States. Though successful at capturing the universities, schools, popular culture, and most churches the left still lusts for the presidency, where the real power lies to change America in line with their ideology.
