Obama at Hofstra:
relatively alert,
therefore big winner

Human Events, by Ann Coulter Original Article

Posted By: markinalpine- 10/17/2012 7:03:55 PM Post Reply

The best question at the second presidential debate came from Michael Jones, an African-American who said: “Mr. President, I voted for you in 2008. What have you done or accomplished to earn my vote in 2012? I’m not that optimistic, as I was in 2008. Most things I need for everyday living are very expensive.” To which Obama said: “Are you my half-brother?” Actually, all Obama could say was that he had ended the war in Iraq (while pointlessly escalating the war in Afghanistan) and that Osama bin Laden is dead (and so is our ambassador).

Federal authorities arrested a Bangladeshi national Wednesday morning for allegedly plotting to blow up a Federal Reserve Bank in New York City's lower Manhattan, mere blocks away from the site of the terrorist attack of Sept. 11, 2001. The bank is one of 12 branches around the country.

One of the presidential debate questioners told Fox News that President Obama came up to him afterward to clarify why he took so long to say the Libya consulate attack was a terror strike. Kerry Ladka, one of the last questioners at Tuesday night's town hall-style debate, said, "He [Obama] said he really wanted to take the time to be deliberate, to make sure he had all the information." During the debate, Obama noted that he referred to "acts of terror" the day after the Libya attack. However, it took the president and his advisers more than a week

A Texas man claiming to follow orders from Iranian military officials pleaded guilty in court Wednesday to plotting to assassinate Saudi Arabia's ambassador to the United States. Manssor Arbabsiar, 58, admitted to plotting and agreeing to hire what he thought was a Mexican drug dealer last year for $1.5 million to carry out the attack with explosives at a Washington restaurant. He was described by U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara as 'the extended murderous hand of his co-conspirators, officials of the Iranian military based in Iran, who plotted to kill the Saudi Ambassador in the United States and were

Lebanese shi'ite Hezbollah, an ally with Iran, congratulated on Tuesday Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez for his reelection, positive that his victory is because of the "prestige of the Bolivarian revolution" and refusal of the "intervention and domination" policies. His (President Chávez's) word "is one of the rare ones that advocate the establishment of a fair, balanced world system." In a press release, the shi'ite group added that Chávez's reelection last October 7 is because of his "firm stance and the prestige of his Bolivarian revolution both at the regional and global levels."

One top female administrator whose résumé ended up in Mitt Romney’s “binders full of women” and was hired by the former Massachusetts governor said Wednesday that she wasn’t bothered by his comments during Tuesday’s debate on a question of equal pay. Ruth Bramson, former chief human resources director for Romney, said that she watched the debate and did not have a negative reaction to the “binders full of women” comment, which lit up Twitter and other social media.“Yes, I was a woman in the binders. I don’t think that’s true at all,” she told POLITICO about the critical reaction.

As Allahpundit notes, Major Garrett buries the lead in his race wrap-up. Get past a riff on four big issues that may impact the remaining three weeks of the campaign, and you come to this news nugget. It is uncharacteristic of Team Obama to concede any terrain, but Plouffe offered no such assurances about Obama’s position in North Carolina, Virginia, or Florida. Romney advisers have seen big gains in all three states and now consider wins likely, although not guaranteed, in all three. They are similarly upbeat about prospects in Colorado but not confident

A Bangladeshi man with alleged links to al-Qaeda has been arrested in New York on suspicion of plotting to blow up the city’s Federal Reserve building with a 1,000lb bomb. Quazi Mohammad Rezwanul Ahsan Nafis, 21, allegedly travelled to the US in January “for the purposes of conducting a terrorist attack on US soil”. He was arrested in Manhattan after he tried to detonate a bomb less than a mile from the site of the Sept 11 attacks. Nafis was unaware that the bomb was actually provided as part of an FBI sting operation, according to New York prosecutors.

Many in the punditry need to re-visit the section of the debate last night between Romney and Obama addressing the Libya question. Too many are saying Romney flubbed it, his answer was flustered and a lost opportunity to strike back. This was not my first impression watching the debate so I went back and watched it again. After reviewing the footage I think many in the punditry missed what really happened. Obama finished his 2+ minute answer to the initial question with "You know that I mean what I say." Romney then gave his 2+ minute response

HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. —Debbie Wasserman Schultz told The Daily Caller Tuesday evening that President Obama “clearly articulated” during the debate what his administration would do to prevent a repeat of the September 11, 2012 attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya. “We were sitting around talking about Libya, and we were reading and became aware of reports that the State Department refused extra security for our embassy in Benghazi, Libya, prior to the attacks that killed four Americans. Who was it that denied enhanced security and why?” an audience member asked Obama during the debate.

A Bangladeshi national has been arrested for plotting to blow up the Federal Reserve Bank in Lower Manhattan, the Daily News has learned. Authorities say 21-year-old Quazi Nafis was arrested Wednesday morning after a sting operation that involved the FBI and New York Police Department. The suspect parked a van filled with what he believed were explosives outside the building and tried to detonate it. But his associates were actually undercover officers who arrested him at the scene — and the bomb was not real. The bust was the result of a sting operation conducted by the FBI-NYPD joint

The mainstream media has speculated that the religious right may not be enthusiastic about Mitt Romney’s candidacy, but Evangelicals and Catholics in swing states like Colorado and Iowa are enthused because of social and -- more importantly in 2012 -- economic issues, and these voters may help tip these states toward Romney. According to the Denver Post: In the most organized barrage made by so-called faith voters in a decade, evangelicals and Catholics are walking precincts, registering neighbors to vote and wedging Christian voter guides under windshield wipers in hopes of making President Barack Obama a one-term president.

BEREA, Ohio - Republican vice-presidential candidate Paul Ryan bragged about Mitt Romney’s performance in the second presidential debate Tuesday night during a rally Wednesday at Baldwin Wallace University with former U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. After the rally with 1,200 supporters, Mr. Ryan was then to go with Ms. Rice, a fan of the Cleveland Browns, to visit the Browns at their practice facility here in Berea.

Unfortunately, I missed the debate last night while flying from San Francisco to Nashville, but I do hope that Candy Crowley enjoyed her one — and only — debate-moderating opportunity. After she put her thumb on the scales so decisively on the Libya issue, no sentient Republican will ever agree to her as moderator again. Frankly, however, while “what did the administration know and when did it know it” is an important question to ask, it pales in comparison to the underlying failure that led to the attack. Put simply, the security withdrawal and attempted “normalization”

Using a clip of Mitt Romney's remarks during Tuesday night's presidential debate, a new Romney campaign ad argues that President Obama's policies have failed, specifically charging that Medicare and Social Security are "at risk" under Mr. Obama's leadership. A May study by the Maryland-based research firm Sentier Research did find that real median American income in March was down by $4,300 since January 2009, when Mr. Obama took office. And while the technical number of unemployed persons stands at 12.1 million, it's true there are about 23 million Americans looking for more work -- that is, they're only employed part-time

While foreign policy did not figure large in the second presidential debate, the Middle East again emerged as the overwhelming international issue. In the beginning of the debate, President Barack Obama claimed that he put a high priority on energy independence, an assertion well refuted by Governor Mitt Romney. A president who wants energy independence from the unreliability of Middle East supplies has many options: he could easily expand oil drilling on federal land, promote the use of new technology to produce oil and gas, approve a major pipeline from Canada, and continue production

It’s the future, stupid. If the test of last night’s showdown is whether President Obama was more aggressive and energetic than he was in the first debate, then he wins the Comeback Kid award. But if the standard is who is more focused and better prepared to create jobs and improve the American economy in the next four years, then the winner was Mitt Romney. He looks and sounds increasingly like a man who is ready to take on the enormous challenges of being president.
