Obama donors get to dine with the
Least Interesting Man in the World

Politicians this cycle have been raffling off dinners with themselves in return for donations. As you can see from this photo, the resulting soirees are full of excitement, lots of great food, ObamaCare promises and a whole lot of fun. Throughout these evening events with awed supporters the incumbent president is as animated as he was during the debate with Gov. Mitt Romney. In fact, this Democrat president has proven to be the Least Interesting Man in the World.

Following my weekend column on the Administration’s disgraceful behavior over Benghazi, a commenter called Pilipo Underwood pops up: "Mawk Steyn’s sophistry is simply astounding! Willard Romney started the politics before we even knew the basics of the attack in Benghzi. And his essays just drip with vituperation. Such a chip on his shoulder, one thinks he would have learned after his Conviction for Hate Speech." If only Capitalization could Make It So. I’ve never been Convicted of Hate Speech.

Get Ready for the
‘O’Romney Factor’

The Obama Team is signaling that “aggressive” is the operative word to describe tomorrow night’s presidential debate. The mainstream media’s still smarting from Obama the pussy without claws at the first televised debate. Tomorrow night tables will be turned to make it appear that Barack Obama and not Mitt Romney is the one trying to restore America; that he will provide those “Jobs, jobs, jobs!” and put the flagging American economy on a better footing in round two. In other words, cunning Obama, who’s been cramming for the debate, will try to take over Romney’s persona on prime time TV.

Bill & Hillary Forever

Four years ago, on September 11, Barack Obama made the pilgrimage to Harlem to have lunch with Bill Clinton. The meal was the first tête-à-tête between the soon-to-be president and the former one since the unpleasantness of the Democratic nomination contest, and feelings on both sides were still raw and fraught with suspicion. Clinton’s staff had wanted to include a Harlem stroll and photo op as part of the visit, but Obama’s people demurred—a standoff that led each camp to ascribe race-related motives to the other

Barack Obama's
October Surprises

American Thinker, by Steve McCann Original Article

Posted By: magnante- 10/15/2012 7:29:49 AM Post Reply

In October 1972, and twelve days before the presidential election, Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger made a surprise announcement of a peace agreement ending the war in Vietnam, thus giving birth to the term "October Surprise." In nearly every election cycle since, one party or the other has attempted to spring some last minute opposition research or policy announcement in the immediate weeks prior to an election. However the Democrats, with their near stranglehold on the mainstream media, have been overwhelmingly more successful in the use of this strategy. That is until this year.

New Hampshire Public Radio (NHPR) conducted a gubernatorial debate on 19 September 2012. One of the questions had to do with the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI), an effort to limit greenhouse gases by auctioning CO2 allowances (sounds like cap and trade to me). Republican Ovide Lamontagne favors repeal of RGGI, while Democrat Maggie Hassan favors keeping it.(snip)Subsequently, NHPR has rebroadcast the debate, and Ms. Hassan's answer has been changed

For relatives anxious about a frail loved one in hospital, few things could surely sound more reassuring than a ‘care pathway’. It sounds like a well-worked-out schedule for providing the best possible approach to treating a patient. Accordingly, when relatives have been asked to sign up to the Liverpool Care Pathway (LCP), that’s precisely what they thought they were agreeing to.[Snip] Terminally ill patients have been heavily sedated and deprived of essential nutrients and fluids in order to make them die more quickly. And there are claims that it is increasingly being applied without the knowledge of patients’ families

Muslims protest 'age of mockery' as
thousands descend on Google HQ

Thousands of Muslims have pledged a series of protests against Google HQ for a "hateful and offensive" anti-Islam video, saying they now live in an "age of mockery". A protest by 10,000 Muslims outside the offices of Google in London today is just the first in an orchestrated attempt to force the company to remove an anti-Islamic film from website YouTube in Britain. Thousands had travelled from as far afield as Glasgow to take part in the demonstration, ahead of a planned million-strong march in Hyde Park in coming weeks.

Joe Biden Makes History

Joe Biden's antics against Paul Ryan have taken a few days to sink in, and should take longer still. For starters, try to imagine being Paul Ryan last Thursday: a young politician in the hot seat, the eyes of the world pressing upon him, as he tries to make careful and succinct statements in a most-intense environment, while all along, literally nearly every minute -- Biden interrupted Ryan 80-plus times -- his opponent smirks, scoffs, laughs uncontrollably, flaps his arms, and, generally, acts like a petulant child.

Biden's Other Big Debate Lie

American Spectator, by David Catron Original Article

Posted By: garnet- 10/15/2012 6:13:23 AM Post Reply

Most of the criticism aimed at Joe Biden relating to his disgraceful performance in last Thursday’s VP debate has related to his transparent lie about what the Obama administration knew about the September 11 terrorist attack on our Benghazi consulate. (Snip) Another lie that may cause as much damage to his boss’s re-election prospects involves the one he told about ObamaCare’s contraception mandate. Whereas his tale about September 11 thwarted the MSM’s attempt to bury the Benghazi story, what he said about the contraception mandate actually disinterred a story they thought they had safely deep-sixed until after the election

Much Ado about Honey Boo Boo

Well, we did our best. To Plato, Aristotle, Augustine, George Washington, Winston Churchill, and Co., thanks for trying, but game over. If it wasn’t already embarrassingly obvious, one little factoid should confirm for everyone that the West has fallen, and fallen hard — the fact that Here Comes Honey Boo Boo, a TLC reality show about the life and times of a seven-year-old beauty-pageant contestant, reportedly had more viewers than the Republican National Convention. At least, that seems to be the general consensus among cultural commentators, despite the dubiousness of that factoid.

Global warming 'stopped in 1997'

Daily Express [UK], by John Ingham Original Article

Global warming stopped 15 years ago and the average temperature has not risen at all since 1997, the Met Office said last night. But critics said the Met Office had released the figures onto the internet without publicity--in contrast to the attention it gave to those released six months ago that reinforced the case for global warming. Those figures went up to 2010--the hottest year on record--and showed a continuing warming trend. Campaigners yesterday slammed the Met Office tactics and questioned the Government’s drive for costly green energy such as wind turbines which add about £100 a year to domestic

“I had the strong feeling,” recalled McGeorge Bundy, John F. Kennedy’s national security adviser, two weeks after the Bay of Pigs in 1961, “that if the military had said calling off the air strikes would have caused the operation to fail, the president would have reversed his decision.” Autopsies are never pretty, especially when they are government fiascos. Just before the start of the operation a poorly advised president, who already had misgivings about a covert operation, made a stupid military decision. He decided to take a risk

Britain's withdrawl from Afghanistan

Britain will bring home 4,000 troops from Afghanistan next year under plans to speed up the pace of British withdrawal. Defence Secretary Philip Hammond revealed the mass pullout, the first senior minister to put a concrete number on the scale of the drawdown. David Cameron has previously announced that British combat operations in Afghanistan will be over by the end of 2014. But Mr Hammond said commanders have advised the government that Afghan forces will be able to cope if nearly half of the UK's 9,000-strong force in Helmand province pulls out next year. Initial plans would have seen

Friday’s Team Obama line: Biden was speaking only for himself and the president when he said, “We weren’t told they wanted more security” in Libya, according to Deputy National Security Advisor for Communications Ben Rhodes (reported in Foreign Policy). Sunday’s Team Obama line: “I think the vice president was talking about what the White House knew. … [N]o doubt, some of these matters went into the security department at the state security agency at the State Department. But it didn’t come to the White House …” says Obama Senior Campaign Manager David Axelrod on Fox News Sunday.

Older patients must not be denied NHS operations on the grounds of their age, a report by surgeons says. It provides damning evidence of variations in surgical care based on patients' ages, with the chances of being operated on peaking in middle age and plummeting for those in their 60s, 70s and 80s. Older heart attack victims, breast cancer patients and those needing new hips and knees are missing out on treatment routinely offered to younger patients even though they could benefit, it says.[Snip] Instead, they are being denied access to surgical treatment because of out-of-date assumptions based on their

Obama's Great Alaska Shutout

Wall Street Journal, by Editorial Original Article

President Obama is campaigning as a champion of the oil and gas boom he's had nothing to do with, and even as his regulators try to stifle it. The latest example is the Interior Department's little-noticed August decision to close off from drilling nearly half of the 23.5 million acre National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska. The area is called the National Petroleum Reserve because in 1976 Congress designated it as a strategic oil and natural gas stockpile to meet the "energy needs of the nation." Alaska favors exploration in nearly the entire reserve.

They’ve had it their way for four years, confident their man was invincible, and who could blame them? As surely as George W. Bush could do no right in their eyes, Barack Obama could do no wrong. And if he happened to mess up, which he frequently did, it made no difference because sycophants in the media were always on call for damage control, eager to minimize or ignore every egregious faux pas. His grandmother was “a typical white person,” remember? The Cambridge cops “acted stupidly” in not taking any guff from Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates Jr., remember?

How is the Obama White House going to fit the entire State Department and the intelligence community under the bus? Last month’s Benghazi fiasco saw four Americans — including our ambassador to Libya — murdered by elements of al Qaeda in a military-style assault timed to coincide with the 11th anniversary of 9/11. The weeks afterward saw the administration blaming a video that, even the White House now admits, had nothing to do with it. And the months before the attack saw Washington adamantly reducing security in Benghazi — despite pleas for reinforcements from the folks on the ground.

The October Surprise May Be Libya

What if we’ve already had an October surprise in this campaign, in September, and the mainstream media are failing to follow up? An issue becomes a real issue only if enough people give it the attention it’s due. Many people in the diplomatic and intelligence communities say that the Obama administration, behind the scenes, is in complete disarray in the aftermath of al-Qaeda’s attack on the U.S. consulate in Libya that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans. That tension burst into the open during last Thursday’s debate, when Vice President Joe Biden said

Mitt Romney, propelled by a wave of support generated by his star turn in the first presidential debate, is heading into Round Two tomorrow with a two-point lead over President Obama. Both the Gallup and Rasmussen daily tracking polls yesterday had Romney leading among likely voters 49 percent to 47 percent. Pollster Scott Rasmussen said that after Obama’s anemic performance in the first debate, “a very close race shifted ever so slightly from narrowly favoring President Obama to narrowly favoring Mitt Romney.” But the contest still “remains too close to call,” he said.
