The liberal media
loved Obama to death

Washington Examiner [DC], by Noemie Emery Original Article

Posted By: StormCnter- 10/10/2012 5:36:54 AM Post Reply

It was in Denver one week ago that the long-running romance between Barack Obama and the national press -- aka the "Slobbering Love Affair," as Bernard Goldberg put it -- hit the wall. The motel bill, unpaid these many long months and ages, at long last came due. It had been the real thing, not a commonplace fling with your generic Democrat, but the love of a lifetime, the genuine article, the sum of all dreams: He was not just a Democrat, he was also a liberal. He was not just a liberal, he also biracial,

Fake Indian has a lot more
ghosts in the cupboard

Hey, Scott Brown, it’s time to start pulling back a little on the fake-Indian attacks on the fake Indian. By now, everybody understands that Granny Warren is a fraud. The best argument the moonbats can come up with is that if she thinks she’s an Indian, who are we to say she’s not an Indian? Does this “evolving paradigm” also apply to Irish and Italian guys so fed up with being passed over for promotions that they are now allowed to “check the box” as blacks or Mexicans? No, I didn’t think so.

Warren: Blue-Collar Champion or Not?

National Review Online, by Betsy Woodruff Original Article

Posted By: StormCnter- 10/10/2012 5:25:44 AM Post Reply

The most famously questionable part of the Elizabeth Warren mythos is her purported Cherokee heritage. (Insert your favorite Fauxcahontas joke here.) But there are other parts of the Warren oeuvre that are equally debatable; if Scott Brown’s camp has its way, Warren’s honesty will take another hit, and the story of Liz the People’s Champion will be as suspect as the Sacajawarren saga. The freshman senator has a lot to work with. From allegedly practicing law without a license to fighting for huge corporations, the various chapters in Warren’s populist narrative don’t always stand up to scrutiny.

Bin Laden is Dead, Al Qaeda is Alive

Washington Free Beacon, by Adam Kredo Original Article

President Barack Obama’s campaign continues to claim that it has “decimated” al Qaeda, the world’s most notorious terror group, despite increasing evidence the group is expanding and despite an al Qaeda attack that left four Americans, including an ambassador, dead. On Monday, team Obama hailed what they claim is the president’s successful eradication of al Qaeda. “Obama’s national security record—ending the Iraq war, decimating al Qaeda, restoring our standing abroad,” stated a message sent from the Obama campaign’s official Twitter account. Senior Obama administration officials have made similar statements in the weeks since militants

Al Gore No Longer
Investing in Green Tech

Via The Street. Why does Al Gore hate America’s green-tech industry and love China and Bain Capital? When Al Gore talks, people listen. Just ask the folks who hand out Academy Awards and Nobel Peace Prizes. Al Gore also talks to investors. Since 2007, the former Vice President in Bill Clinton’s administration has been preaching the benefits of putting your money where his mouth is: Alternative energy. But if Al Gore has any message for investors today, it might very well be this: “Stay the hell away from alternative energy!”

Delusional Jerry Sandusky strolled into the courtroom yesterday as if it were the Penn State locker room after a gridiron victory — not to be sentenced for grooming, seducing and raping boys who worshipped his miserable hide like a rock star. In red jail scrubs and an infuriating smirk, Sandusky blew a kiss to his idiot wife, then, in front of three of his victims, delivered a statement that sounded like a sadistic bowl-game pep talk. “This was the worst loss of my life but not the first,’’ said the former Penn State assistant football coach and remorseless monster.

How Big Bird Just Made the Debate
Even More Daunting for Biden

Weekly Standard, by Mark Hemingway Original Article

The reviews are in from the Obama campaign's ad attempting to make Big Bird a campaign issue this morning, and ouch. Naturally, the Romney campaign has blasted out a smattering of headlines and damning tweets about it from reporters. Even the liberal blog Firedoglake ran with "Obama Ad About Big Bird Cannot Find One Prominent Wall Street Criminal Prosecuted By Administration." As strategic miscalculations go, the ad is pretty devastating because it answers the big question that emerged from wreckage of last week's miserable performance: Why was Obama's performance so bad?

Why political moods matter

Politics watchers are understandably fixated on the polls after the first presidential debate and the difficulty of measuring the size of Mitt Romney’s bounce. Romney clearly made gains, but the polls disagree on how big it was, and on whether the bounce has ended. Personally, I am suspending judgment about the extent to which the debate helped Romney until we see a full round of polling from Ohio. The first Ohio polls contain positive news for Romney. But his most important achievement cannot be measured by polls. What he did was change the political mood — of the media coverage,

Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney said in a Tuesday interview with an Iowa newspaper that he has no abortion-related legislation on his platform - although as president, he would reinstate through administrative means a policy banning nongovernmental organizations from using federal funds to provide abortions. "There's no legislation with regards to abortion that I'm familiar with that would become part of my agenda," Romney said in an interview with The Des Moines Register. The candidate said he would reinstate the so-called Mexico City Policy through administrative means, according to the newspaper.

The Only Mad Hatter

One symptom of madness is the tendency to view oneself as superhuman. Superheroes believe that they should not have to run for re-election; after all, they are entitled to it. They don't hold press conferences at which unvetted journalists are allowed to ask real questions. Unlike truly great presidents who believe the American people have a rendez-vous with destiny, superheroes believe they have one. They are so above it all that they don't have to prep for debates. They expect to win by default.

Good catch by the Standard. Carney’s held gaggles with reporters recently, but gaggles are inferior for reasons Daniel Halper explains at the link. According to the White House website, there’s been no full-fledged “face the nation”-style televised press briefing in more than two weeks. How come? Can’t be that Carney’s busy with campaign stuff. As surreal as it may sound, he technically works for you and me as an employee of the executive branch, not for Team Hopenchange. Why isn’t our press secretary out in front fielding questions about the day’s news?

Obama's Failed Narrative

Did Barack Obama ruin politics? Or did politics ruin Barack Obama? At this point, most Americans have made up their minds about the president one way or another. But even for people who think they know who the man in the Oval Office really is, it’s easy to forget who he once was. Before running for political office, Barack Obama was a stubborn dreamer with a literary bent. Mostly he dreamed of living a better life story, even if that meant scrubbing away the blemishes of reality. Part of his appeal was the way he emerged from adversity unsullied.

PICTURE EXCLUSIVE: Monica Lewinsky -

Stepping into the pouring rain, her thick hair swept up underneath a cap and rather bizarrely wearing sunglasses despite the gloomy New York weather, the woman went about her business without attracting a single gaze from passers-by. The first picture of Monica Lewinsky, 39, in public for the first time in a year, paints a very different portrait from the young intern who achieved global notoriety after her sordid Oval Office affair with President Bill Clinton. But her low-key life may not last much longer amid reports she is planning to pen an intimate, tell-all book about her affair with

Hate preacher Abu Hamza is to be given a new set of rubber hands --at cost of over $19,000 to the US taxpayer. The suspected al-Qaida cheerleader has been told he will not be able to have his usual metal hooks while awaiting trial on terrorism charges. U.S. authorities consider the hooks a security risk and have refused to hand them back to Hamza after he arrived in New York over the weekend following his extradition from Britain. During his initial court appearance his lawyer Sabrina Shroff asked a judge to return the metal hooks--but was turned down

Greek police fired teargas and stun grenades at protesters in central Athens on Tuesday when they tried to break through a barrier and reach visiting German Chancellor Angela Merkel. Around 50,000 demonstrators defied a ban on protests, gathering in Syntagma square to voice their displeasure with the German leader. Some wore Nazi uniforms and others burned swastika flags, while one left police dumbstruck by running through the city naked. Police were pelted with rocks, bottles and sticks as demonstrators tried to break through a barricade set up to protect Merkel and her delegation, who were meeting with Prime Minister

President Barack Obama has refused to extend to victims of Hurricane Isaac in Louisiana the same relief he criticized former President George W. Bush for withholding from New Orleans residents in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. The move has frustrated state and local politicians and contradicts his own campaign rhetoric about disaster relief from just one election cycle ago. In a fiery 2007 speech at Hampton University unveiled last week exclusively by The Daily Caller, Obama excoriated the Bush administration for supposedly refusing to waive requirements of the Stafford Act, federal government for emergency assistance,

The moderator of the lone October vice presidential debate was previously married to a top Obama official, an association both ABC News and the left-leaning Commission on Presidential Debates do not view as a conflict of interest. ABC Senior Foreign Correspondent Martha Raddatz, whose role as moderator was announced on August 13, was previously married to Federal Communications Commission Chairman Julius Genachowski — an Obama appointee. (Snip) Genachowski and classmate Barack Obama worked together on the Harvard Law Review, Genachowski as notes editor and Obama as the publication’s president. They graduated in the same class.

After TheDC made preliminary inquiries Monday to confirm Obama’s attendance at the wedding, ABC leaked a pre-emptive statement to liberal-leaning news outlets including Politico and The Daily Beast Tuesday, revealing what may have been internal network pressure felt just days before Raddatz

Because of the September 11 terrorist attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi that killed four Americans, Joint Special Operations Command and the CIA are reportedly developing "perhaps a dozen or more" target packages consisting of terrorist encampments and individuals suspected of being involved. A senior U.S. official said that "highly pre-decisional...options are being teed up," should President Obama request them (he reportedly has not), though the official warned, "[I] don't think that a final list of who was involved is solid." Given that U.S. surveillance drones were flying over Libya well before the Benghazi attack and have been conducting

Dubuque, Iowa - Dr. Jack Dolehide remembers the trinity on display in his boyhood home in Chicago in the 1960s: There, in the center, was an iconic image of Jesus. On one side, Mayor Richard J. Daley, the city's legendary Democratic boss. On the other, President Kennedy. Then one day about 1969 or '70, the unthinkable occurred. Dolehide's father took down the politicians' portraits, ripped them into pieces and threw them away. He had become a Republican. Today, Jack Dolehide, 57, is a well-established physician in Dubuque and among many Catholics who plan to vote for Mitt Romney for president.

Amid fears for his safety, media and the public will only be able to watch proceedings via videoconference from a separate building, as was the case when he first appeared in court last month.

Senior State Department officials on Tuesday refuted claims by administration members that the deadly attack in Libya on the 11th anniversary of Sept. 11 was provoked by an anti-Islam video. On the eve of a House hearing to investigate the security of American personnel in the tumultuous country, two senior State Department sources told reporters that attacks on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi did not happen as a result of protests. An official explained, in detail, what happened on the night that U.S. Ambassador to Libya Christopher Stevens and three other Americans were killed by an armed group of militants.
