US has ‘zero’ influence
over peace: Carter

Agence France Presse, by Staff Original Article

Posted By: Scottyboy- 10/22/2012 11:56:27 AM Post Reply

Occupied Jerusalem: The former US president Jimmy Carter said on Monday that Washington had “zero” influence over Israel and the Palestinians to resolve their decades-long conflict, and its sway had dropped to the lowest level in 45 years.(snip)“A major change lately has been the withdrawal of American influence” in the Israeli-Palestinian arena, Carter said, estimating it was the first time since the 1967 Six-Day War that Washington had not “played a major role” in trying to resolve the conflict. “This is the first time that we’ve seen since 1967 that an American government hasn’t played a major role,” he said.

On Monday, MSNBC’s Chuck Todd sat down with DNC chair Debbie Wasserman Shultz in Florida, where he asked questions relating to tonight’s presidential debate on foreign policy, including one regarding her thoughts on what Mitt Romney will bring to the table that is different from what Obama has and will propose. Wasserman Schultz told Todd that Obama will “keep our eye on the prize” and protect American from harmful forces — a contrast, she added, to the “backwards cowboy justice Mitt Romney would drag us back to.” At least it’s not reverse cowgirl justice, though.

Russell Means never shunned attention. Whether leading Native Americans in railing against broken federal treaties, appearing in a Hollywood blockbuster or advocating a sovereign American Indian nation within U.S. borders, the activist who helped lead the 1973 uprising at Wounded Knee reveled in the spotlight. But it was only on his terms. Openly critical of mainstream media, the onetime leader of the American Indian Movement often refused interviews and verbally blasted journalists who showed up to cover his public appearances.

Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, the 55-year-old filmmaker responsible for the anti-Muslim video that President Barack Obama, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice initially and wrongly blamed for inciting the deadly terrorist attack on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, is still being held at the Los Angeles Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) without bond. It has been almost one month since Mr. Nakoula was arrested for allegedly violating the terms of his probation for a 2010 bank-fraud conviction.

Sen. John Kerry, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and President Obama's debate sparring partner, is now considered the leading candidate to replace Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, the beneficiary of United Nations Ambassador Susan Rice's fumbles on the recent Benghazi, Libya assassination. Several sources told Secrets that Rice, while still a favorite of Obama and the West Wing, would face withering questions during a confirmation hearing and could be hit with congressional subpoenas even before Election Day as lawmakers determine if politics played a role in the muddled reports of what happened in Benghazi.

Wal-Mart boss Sam Walton
funding Obama big time

Washington Examiner, by Timothy P. Carney Original Article

Posted By: KarenJ1- 10/22/2012 11:30:39 AM Post Reply

Can we stop pretending that Barack Obama’s candidacy is some grass-roots uprising? Obama’s campaign has outspent Romney’s campaign. The Democratic National Committee has outspent the Republican National Committee. While Romney’s SuperPAC (Restore our Future), has outspent Obama’s SuperPAC (Priorities USA), that $40 million Romney SuperPAC edge doesn’t come close to making up for the Obama campaign’s $180 million edge. There is legally undisclosed spending going on here, and there’s reason to believe Romney benefits from more of it than Obama, but that’s not conclusive, and we don’t know how big Romney’s edge is in that category.

Van Hollen: Libya criticism

Rep. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) on Monday accused Mitt Romney of trying to exploit the attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, for political gain. The Wall Street Journal reported Sunday that President Obama was told in his intelligence briefings for a week after the Libya assault that it had been sparked by a spontaneous protest. Van Hollen said the report proves that Obama administration officials were acting in good faith when they initially attributed the attack to anger over an anti-Islam video. "Well, there’s no doubt we should get to the bottom of the intelligence information,

Ann Romney whips up a mean meatloaf and dishes on baby names and date nights in an upcoming episode of “The Rachael Ray Show.” Although GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney’s wife says her husband “is not a picky eater, not at all, and he will eat anything you put in front of him,” Romney tells Ray she’s been cooking his favorite meatloaf cakes for his birthday dinner for the past 43 years. The mom of five grown sons, 63, also gets personal in the episode, which airs on Thursday, Oct. 25. Romney reveals to the

White House visitor records show that administration officials have hosted numerous White House meetings with a series of U.S.-based Muslim political groups that have close ties to jihadi groups and push to reduce anti-terrorism investigations.(snip) Administration officials also invited Syrian-born Louay Safi to the White House twice in 2011, even though he had been named an unindicted co-conspirator in two terrorism cases, and had been barred from Fort Hood following the 2009 jihadi attack by a Muslim U.S. Army major.

Unrelenting bad news could dog President Obama at tonight’s foreign policy-focused presidential debate. “There’s plenty of ammo,” said Democratic strategist Lou DiNatale. “And the president better be ready to handle some incoming.” Recent headlines include Russian President Vladimir Putin personally overseeing ballistic missile tests, Iran’s nuclear program still under way, a lingering war in Afghanistan, civil war in Syria, a Muslim Brotherhood government in Egypt and shifting stories about what happened in the Sept. 11 Benghazi terrorist attack. It may be harder for Obama to attack Romney’s once-mocked assertion

Root faces a misdemeanor trespassing charge for the 6:45 p.m. Friday arrest. He already was given a trespass warning for the same location in May.

Obama's left-wing agenda

President Obama's left-wing agenda has not only put Democrats and Republicans at each other's throats -- it has affected how some Americans relate to their dogs. In a wacky and largely unnoticed trend, perhaps reflecting the nation's polarized political climate, many Democratic and Republican dog owners have been teaching their pets tricks that have political overtones -- then posting the comic results on YouTube. Democrats are arguably the loopiest in this respect. Over the past few years, many have been teaching their dogs to say "Obama"

Bob Schieffer, the moderator for the last of the three presidential debates in 2012, needs to be watched carefully; he has a clear partisan agenda that favors Barack Obama that was evident even in 2008. When he moderated the last presidential debate that year, he didn’t flinch from his Democratic Party mission. In 2008, Schieffer asked 9 questions. Look at how he slanted some of the questions and his interjections: 1. “We found out yesterday that this year's deficit will reach an astounding record high $455 billion. Some experts say it could go to $1 trillion next year.
