Revealed: How 163million Americans will get
a tax rise next year REGARDLESS
of who wins election

Daily Mail [UK], by Staff Original Article

President Barack Obama isn't talking about it and neither is Mitt Romney. But come January, 163 million workers can expect to feel the pinch of a big tax increase regardless of who wins the election.[Snip] Why are so many politicians sour on continuing the payroll tax break? Republicans question whether reducing the tax two years ago has done much to stimulate the sluggish economy. Politicians from both parties say they are concerned that it threatens the independent revenue stream that funds Social Security. They are backed by powerful advocates for seniors, including AARP, who adamantly oppose any extension.

As Election Day creeps ever nearer President Barack Obama and Republican Candidate Mitt Romney are pulling out all the stops in their attempts to win votes. For President Obama that means sitting down with Jay Leno on the set of The Tonight Show on Wednesday, for a screening that is bound to draw more than average viewing figures. More even, it is possible, than the election itself. Obama's appearance will be aired less than two weeks before the day itself as both he and Romney make last ditch attempts to secure a win. NBC siad Wednesday night's appearance will be

Sen. Rubio: Obama has
‘given up’ on outlining
second term agenda

The Hill, by Meghashyam Mali Original Article

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) on Sunday charged that President Obama had "given up" on trying to present voters with a second term agenda. “The most startling thing that has happened here the last month over this campaign is the president has completely given up on outlining any sort of agenda for the future. What’s his plan for the next four years?” asked Rubio, a prominent surrogate for GOP presidential challenger Mitt Romney, on ABC’s “This Week.” Rubio said that the few policies pushed by the president and his supporters called for “spending a lot of money.”

Bringing America Back Home

Mitt Romney keeps surprising people -- in a positive way. First he turns out the best debater ever in American presidential politics -- going back to the first Nixon-Kennedy debate. Now it seems that he is an excellent stand-up comedian -- working in the deadpan style of a Jack Benny or Bob Newhart. Having already whipped Barack Obama in their two debates, Romney faced off against the president again on Thursday night at the Alfred E. Smith dinner in New York to benefit Catholic charities -- a black tuxedo and white bow-tie affair where the two men competed strictly for laughs

Monica Lewinsky urged by

According to a couple of well-placed New York publishing sources, the tell-all memoir Monica Lewinsky is said to be shopping could snare some pretty hefty offers for the world’s most famous White House intern — possibly as much as $12 million. I’m also hearing that a number of people who feel very protective of both former President Bill Clinton and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton have quietly reached out to Lewinsky, asking her to drop those plans. While my sources stress that neither of the Clintons are involved in any contact

Obama has been telling the nation tales since his election. In fact, his entire life has been one long story with him as writer, director, producer, and star -- you could call it "A Barack Obama Production." It's not that he hasn't told us stories; it's that the ones he has told bear little resemblance to reality. After all the suffering America has experienced while he was busy getting the "policy right," there is no one left who still believes in Barack's brilliance.

Kennedy cousin Michael Skakel
up for parole in Connecticut

NEW HAVEN, Conn. — Kennedy cousin Michael Skakel, who will get his first parole hearing Wednesday, deserves to be released from prison a decade after he was convicted of killing his neighbor because he was a victim of a miscarriage of justice and has been a model inmate, his supporters say. But the victim's relatives want Skakel kept in prison the rest of his life, saying he was properly convicted and has shown no remorse. Skakel is serving 20 years to life for beating Martha Moxley to death with a golf club in 1975 in Greenwich when they were 15-year-old neighbors.

President Barack Obama, who plummeted in the polls after his disastrous first debate performance and saw no 'bounce' after the second debate has a final chance in Florida tonight night to halt Mitt Romney’s late surge and stave off a re-election defeat. Obama leads by a tiny 0.2 per cent nationally in the RealClearPolitics poll of averages. But he is down seven in the Gallup tracking poll, down two in the Rasmussen poll and has seen his leads in Florida and Virginia disappear and his Ohio advantage whittled down to almost nothing.

In the 1967 film "A Guide for the Married Man," a husband, played by a peerless Walter Matthau, is given lessons in ways to cheat on his wife safely. The most essential rule: "Deny! Deny! Deny!"—no matter what. In an instructive scene, he's shown a wife undone by shock, and screaming, with reason: She has just walked in on her husband making love to a glamorous stranger. "What are you doing," she wails, "who is that woman?" "What woman, where?" the husband serenely counters, as he and the tart in question get out of bed and calmly dress.

Mittmentum: New Ohio Polls

Two new Ohio polls came out yesterday after my Ohio post, from from Gravis Marketing and PPP, both of which point to a razor-thin race in the most coveted swing state. A closer look at each poll shows just how much Romney has gained since the debates, and why he would be absolutely thrilled if these polls were accurate on Election Day. The poll from Gravis Marketing shows Obama and Romney tied at 47 percent. But that’s as good as it gets for Obama. Among the most interesting tidbits from the poll: Romney leads Obama by 19 percent among independents, 52–33,

President Obama suddenly finds himself on the hot seat about foreign policy. He’ll face intense scrutiny tonight for blunders surrounding the deadly terror attack on the US Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, when he takes on Mitt Romney in the third and final 2012 presidential debate. The debate, in Boca Raton, Fla., is supposed to deal exclusively with foreign policy, which should have been a gift for Obama. After all, he has the foreign-policy résumé that you only get from being president. He ordered the Seal Team 6 strike that killed Osama bin Laden —

As we roll into the final presidential debate, the polls show a very tight race. One thing they don't show, however, is how race is a factor in the election. By my estimate, you have to build in a three- to five-point slip from the poll numbers for any black candidate on election day. To overcome the slip, you need to pump up the black vote by equal measure. And that's not easy, because brothers and sisters aren't among the top turnout groups. In 2008, Barack Obama was able to compensate for the slip and then some.

President Obama’s Executive Power Grab

Obama was gripping the telephone so tightly that it looked as if he were about to pulverize it in the palm of his hand. Back in the spring of 2011, House Republicans had refused to raise the nation’s debt ceiling unless the president first conceded to massive spending cuts—a gratuitous game of chicken that put the global economy at risk and defied decades of bipartisan Washington tradition.(Snip)Of all Obama’s go-it-alone maneuvers, none highlights the thorny temptations of his new governing strategy as clearly as June’s DREAM Act deferral—which was developed by Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano

Barack Obama got super lucky in the second presidential debate last week. Mitt Romney made a rare mistake, and the president took brutal advantage. Clever advantage too, for the governor’s mistake enabled the president to side-step what otherwise would have been a discussion that is deadly dangerous to him.(Snip)The president’s words gave him deniability in two directions: He protected himself against Republican charges just like the charge Romney leveled at him, while simultaneously refraining from any definitive characterization of the attack as terrorism. The language was ambiguous — and intentionally ambiguous.

If only women voted, President Obama would be on track for a landslide re-election, equaling or exceeding his margin of victory over John McCain in 2008. Mr. Obama would be an overwhelming favorite in Ohio, Florida, Virginia and most every other place that is conventionally considered a swing state. The only question would be whether he could forge ahead into traditionally red states, like Georgia, Montana and Arizona. If only men voted, Mr. Obama would be biding his time until a crushing defeat at the hands of Mitt Romney, who might win by a similar margin

I won’t hear what I’d like to hear at the presidential foreign policy debate Monday. What I’d like to hear is Barack Obama resigning over Benghazi, the most extreme public mishandling of an attack on American personnel ever, certainly in my lifetime. If I (or most people) had been president and something like that happened on my (our) watch — and then I had lied about it myself while urging others to cover up — I would be so ashamed of myself I wouldn’t be able to come out in public. But that’s not what happened. In fact, the reverse occurred.

There is a distinct possibility that we are nearing the end of an age, an age most people are probably not even aware they have been living in: The Age of Unexpectedly. Never heard of it, right? Ah, but therein lies its beauty, the surpassing subtlety of it, as you shall see. It is, of course, as with all historical periods, difficult to pinpoint exactly when it began. Perhaps the earliest sign was a Reuters story dated May 19, 2009, which reported that "new U.S. housing starts and permits unexpectedly fell to record lows in April . . . denting

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Rogers said over the weekend that recent disclosures by intelligence officials that once again revise the narrative on what happened during the deadly attack last month in Libya suggest an “orchestrated defense of the administration.” The Michigan Republican congressman did not specify what disclosures he was talking about, but was likely referring to recent news articles downplaying the role of Al Qaeda in the Sept. 11 strike, as well as comments by intelligence officials claiming once again that protests elsewhere over an anti-Islam film may have played a role in inspiring the attack.
