Will Schieffer Ask Obama
About That ‘Cancer’ Called Guantanamo?

Newsbusters, by Tim Graham Original Article

Posted By: JoniTx- 10/22/2012 8:27:49 PM Post Reply

During the last administration, CBS anchor Bob Schieffer was a red-hot advocate of closing the terrorist holding pen at Guantanamo. "This is just a boil. It's a cancer. This thing is not doing anybody any good,” he ranted on MSNBC’s Imus In The Morning show on June 9, 2005. Schieffer’s ardor cooled considerably once Obama was elected. Will Schieffer bring up the “cancer” of Gitmo in tonight’s debate? Back in the Bush years, he repeatedly suggested it made us just like the terrorists we were fighting. Here’s how the Imus rant continued:

BOCA RATON, FLA. — Hours before President Barack Obama and Gov. Mitt Romney square off in the third and final presidential debate, former George W. Bush press secretary and CNN contributor Ari Fleischer said he sees the race breaking Romney’s way. “I think the potential for one candidate to have a larger win is Romney’s, it’s not President Obama’s,” Fleischer told The Daily Caller in the media area at Lynn University, the site of Monday night’s final presidential debate. “I could see Romney winning by three or four points. If the president wins, he is going to win

Is North Carolina still in play?

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Weeks before the final tally, is North Carolina settled in the presidential election? After confirming reports that they pulled some resources out of the state to concentrate on more hotly contested battlegrounds, Republicans have shown no signs of closing up shop or cutting back on get-out-the vote events. Doubtful Democrats – touting a strong ground game — say the GOP announcement, coming coincidentally on the first day of early voting in North Carolina, may be a bit of gamesmanship, an effort to depress the Democratic vote and President Obama’s supporters

Suffolk poll of Ohio:
Romney 47, Obama 47

Of the four most recent Ohio polls, two have the race tied, one has O up by a single point, and the other you already know about. An interesting tidbit from the new Suffolk poll: They’ve got Romney up three points among people who haven’t voted yet and Obama up 13 points among those who already have. That’s not surprising given how hard O’s been pushing people to vote early (Snip) As it is, those persuadables are most likely now holding off in order to take a longer look at Romney, which means virtually all of O’s early votes are

With the polls moving against President Obama both nationally and in the swing states, all the pressure is on him in tonight’s debate to project American strength on foreign policy. Polls show that in the aftermath of the devastating murders of our ambassador to Libya and three other Americans, the American people are interested in a Reaganesque foreign policy. And Obama’s foreign policy is anything but. According to the latest Pew Research Center polls, Americans are increasingly skeptical about the crown jewel of the Obama Doctrine: the Arab Spring. In April 2011, 42 percent of Americans thought that “changes in

The Rev. Billy Graham plays politics

It’s comforting to know that some people and things never change. Like the Rev. Billy Graham. Ah yes, the Rev. Graham. He was a phony 50 years ago – the columnist Chuck Stone back then called him not just a phony but a “magnificent phony” – and he’s a phony today. (Snip) Now, hallelujah, it seems that the Rev. Graham has found his voice again. Sitting up in his mountainous Montreat retreat clothed in mock-humility, Graham at 93 continues to play kingmaker. He has met with 12 U.S. presidents and God-only-knows how many would-be presidents, counseling them

Events in Afghanistan continue to confirm that the plan to impose American values through the force of arms and flow of American dollars is truly a pipe dream. In the heartland of the Taliban it is regularly taken for granted that Western notions of human rights are dismissed as an attempt to foist Christian values on a Muslim nation. Now, the reprehensible murder of a young bride is the latest fact emphasizing the systemic disregard for the rights of women in Afghanistan. A 20-year-old woman identified as Mahgul lived in Herat in western Afghanistan. Her brief life came to its

House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa subpoenaed the Obama administration Monday for documents he believes will expose Medicare malfeasance by Department of Health and Human Services officials. The move, confirmed by an aide to the California Republican, makes good on a threat Issa issued last week, when he demanded reams of data from HHS by 5 p.m. on Thursday. Although the agency dumped 1,300 pages at his doorstep just before the deadline, he contended that the information was garbled and unresponsive to his request.

Rep. Darrell Issa fired back at the Obama administration after Democrats complained his decision to release 166 pages of documents on the security situation in Benghazi threatened the lives of several Libyans who are named and worked with the U.S. (Snip) But Issa rejected the claims in a statement Sunday night -- he suggested one Libyan rights activist identified in the documents was already publicly associated with the U.S. following a State Department-sponsored trip to the U.S. in 2011. “The Libyan rights activist who was highlighted by the Obama administration in news accounts as having not been, ‘publicly associated with

Senator John McCain, who lost the 2008 election to President Barack Obama, has given a withering critique of his foreign policy just hours before the third and final debate. McCain said four years of "failed leadership" by President Obama has dragged the Middle East to the edge of a major crisis that could dramatically destabilise the region. (Snip) "Look at our relations with Russia. Four years and no progress with Iran on nuclear weapons, strained relations with Israel, al-Qaeda coming back strongly in Iraq, things deteriorating in Afghanistan," McCain fumed.

In the days before the first debate in Denver, President Obama held more than a four-point lead in the Real Clear Politics average, and Romney had been left for dead by most of the media. Then the debate came, and overnight Romney seemingly rid himself of the weaknesses that had been tacked on to him by over $100 million dollars in negative advertising. Now here we are a few weeks later with a dead heat in nationwide polls.

It took just 5 weeks for American precision guided bombs and Special Forces on horseback to chase the Taliban from power. So thoroughly was the Taliban dismantled that in February 2003, Afghan President Hamid Karzai scoffed at the possibility of a Taliban spring offensive, saying: "I don't think that is going to happen. These guys are on the run. They are hiding." (Snip) Now it is the Americans operating out of fixed positions in the face of hit-and-run Taliban attacks. "Now the shoe is on the other foot.

A British woman's forthcoming book tells a chimply amazing tale about how she was raised by monkeys in the Colombian jungle. Marina Chapman, a housewife from Bradford in northern England, claims she was kidnapped from her childhood home near Cucuta, Colombia, sometime in the 1950s and then abandoned by her captors in the jungle near the Venezuelan border. Her book, "The Girl With No Name: The Incredible True Story of the Girl Raised by Monkeys," details how she took up with a group of capuchin monkeys and spent the next five years living with them

Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani argued Monday on CNN that President Barack Obama should have known from "common sense" that the U.S. consulate in Libya was at risk prior to last month's deadly attacks in Benghazi. When pressed further on his point, however, Giuliani engaged in a heated exchange with Soledad O'Brien, anchor of CNN's "Starting Point." (Snip) "The president should have known based on common sense that an attack like that, an attack in which you're using rocket propelled hand grenades, in which mortars are used...Now all the sudden you get an attack on September 11 and

A photograph of a 93-year-old World War II veteran casting what will likely be his last ballot has captured the hearts of tens of thousands of Internet users.

(Snip) His call has won the backing of international powers on both sides of the crisis including Iran and Russia, which have provided support to Assad, and Turkey, which backs the rebels in a conflict that has killed 30,000 people.

Los Angeles - A major US newspaper, Los Angeles Times, on Monday endorsed President Barack Obama for a second term in the White House, saying he has brought "steady leadership" to the office. "The nation has been well served by President Obama's steady leadership. He deserves a second term," stated an LA Times editorial. It added that while his opponents assailed him as a socialist, "he showed himself to be an adult, less an ideologue than a pragmatist, more cautious than cocky."

Republican nominee Mitt Romney leads President Barack Obama by 3 points in a new Monmouth University poll, which also shows how much Romney has changed his fortunes since the first presidential debate. Romney leads 48-45 overall in the poll, a boost from a one-point advantage in a poll taken right after the first debate. Among likely voters, Romney has swung the race 6 points from a month ago. (Snip) On foreign policy, Romney trailed Obama in September by 9 points. He has closed that gap to just a single point today, as the candidates prepare to debate foreign policy.

Mitt Romney’s hopes have long hinged on the notion of a tipping point. He would clear some psychic threshold necessary to be embraced as an acceptable alternative to Barack Obama in the minds of persuadable voters, then see national public opinion swing swiftly in his favor. With 15 days to go in the election, there is some evidence Romney’s scenario is coming true. (Snip) Once voters see Romney as something different than the Obama caricature, the reasoning goes, they simply won’t buy the president’s argument going forward. One piece of evidence for this possibility is that Romney’s momentum, which began

The Obama administration’s handling of the terrorist attack in Libya has shaken the presidential race and raised the importance of Monday night’s clash over foreign policy. The killing of a U.S. ambassador for the first time in 33 years has all but erased Obama's once considerable lead on foreign policy and shaken up the race with just two weeks to go. (Snip) Recent polling by Pew shows President Obama is vulnerable on the issue: His once comfortable 15-point lead over Republican Mitt Romney on foreign policy has evaporated by 11 points since the attack.

As Jonathan wrote, the New York Times caused a stir over the weekend with its report that the Obama administration agreed to one-on-one talks with Iran over its nuclear program. The story has been interpreted (and reinterpreted) with respect to its utility to the president before tonight’s foreign policy debate depending on the perceived nature of the leaks. So when the story first broke, it was assumed the Obama administration thought this would be politically beneficial on the eve of the debate. When the vigorous denials came—convincing enough to get the Times to change its story without alerting its

As the Obama administration continues to deflect questions about inadequate security and misinformation following the murders of four Americans at the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, House Democrats have been working to create a separate stir, hitting at House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) with accusations that documents Issa released Friday in an attempt to shed light on the true Benghazi story represented a “reckless and dangerous” disclosure of sensitive information and U.S. sources.

The Romney camp and GOP operatives on the ground in key swing states think the wind is at their back. A senior Republican told me Sunday night that Mitt Romney is up by two to three points in Virginia, which President Obama won by nearly seven points in 2008. That is consistent with public polling since early October. This Republican expects Romney to keep Obama’s lead in populous Fairfax County below 100,000 (in 2008 Obama racked up a 110,000-vote advantage in Fairfax and won the state by more than 230,000 votes). Republicans are optimistic Romney can carry the exurb

Our First 'Red Diaper Baby' President?

All the pieces fit, so why do historians and biographers ignore the question. As president, Barack Obama is many things -- many unprecedented things. There's the commendable: the truly historic achievement (with apologies to Bill Clinton) of being the first black president. There's the dubious: the lamentable distinction (christened by Newt Gingrich) of being the first "food stamp president." But here's an intriguing, provocative thought: Is Barack Obama our first "Red Diaper Baby" president? Gee, that would be unprecedented. Now, before deeming the question over-the-top, out-of-bounds,

A new poll from Wenzel Strategies shows Rep. Todd Akin leading incumbent Senator Claire McCaskill in the race for the Senate seat in Missouri. It’s big news that Akin is still alive and kicking despite being abandoned by the national Republican Party leadership. Akin, who refused to succumb to pressure from his own party leadership to get out of the race after poorly expressing himself in an interview on the issue of rape and abortion, has been left to his own resources and friends to raise funds. According to the just published fundraising report for the last quarter, going through September,
