The Adoration Bubble

All of President Barack Obama’s campaign rallies could be summed up in one sentence, “The president spoke, and hilarity ensued.” The president doesn’t just make his fans faint, he cracks them up with a reliability that Groucho Marx or Johnny Carson might envy. The president won the Nobel Peace Prize when he really deserved to nose out Robin Williams for recognition as a “Stand-Up Icon” at the Comedy Awards. Here is a part of a transcript of a fairly typical Obama event, at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco a few days after the first debate.

Obama Strikes Out in VA:
'Battleship,' 'Horses and Bayonets,'
Sequester Walk Back

Breitbart's Big Government, by Michael Patrick Leahy Original Article

The defining moments of Monday's foreign policy debate came halfway through the evening, when President Obama struck himself out--especially in Virginia--with three pitches aimed at Mitt Romney that boomeranged. These ill advised lines will come back to haunt him over the final two weeks of the campaign: ROMNEY: Our Navy is smaller now than at any time since 1917. The Navy said they needed 313 ships to carry out their mission. We're now at under 285. We're headed down to the low 200s if we go through a sequestration. That's unacceptable to me.

A Republican state senator's son was left badly beaten after he confronted two men who were removing a Romney-Ryan sign from outside his home. Sean Kedzie the son of Wisconsin State Senator Neal Kedzie, was left with multiple bruises over his head and face following the incident outside his house in Whitewater in the early hours of Friday morning. According to a statement by the State Senator's office the 22-year-old was woken by noises and had gone outside to find a man removing the sign. Mr Kedzie yelled at the individual to return the sign which he did, but at

DuPont to cut 1,500 jobs

DuPont (DD.N) reported a lower-than-expected quarterly profit on Tuesday and announced 1,500 job cuts as part of a cost savings program designed to offset falling sales around the world. Shares of the chemical company fell 6 percent in premarket trading. The move by DuPont, a member of the Dow Jones industrial average .DJIA and the maker of Kevlar bulletproof fiber and Corian countertops, marks one of the more extreme reactions to slipping demand and global economic uncertainty so far in this earnings season. DuPont's sales fell 9 percent to $7.4 billion in the third quarter, while analysts on average

Eight Big Rigs Involved in
Newhall Pass Pile-Up

NEWHALL, Calif. -- As many as eight big rigs and several passenger cars were involved in a pile-up in the Newhall Pass early Tuesday. The accident happened around 3 a.m. on the southbound 5 Freeway at the Highway 14 transition truck route. Emergency crews were working to extricate one of the big rig drivers, who was trapped inside his truck. As many as 400 gallons of diesel fuel spilled onto the roadway, according to reports. The truck bypass lanes were shut down completely. The main lines of the freeway were open, but commuters were warned to expect delays.

Obama may have won the Boca debate battle but he knows he is losing the election war to Romney. If you had been on an extended vacation for the past four years, you would have been forgiven for watching this debate and thinking you were viewing a President Mitt Romney being challenged by a pretender called Barack Obama. Obama, although clearly in command of foreign policy issues, clearly came into the debate believing he had to score points and change the dynamic of the race. In short, Obama started the 90 minutes here in Boca Raton, Florida believing he was

Last Debate Proves Mitt Way Ahead

If anyone still doubts the Gallup Poll -- and common sense -- showing that Mitt Romney is way ahead in the polls, all they had to do was watch the third presidential debate to have their minds changed. Romney put the game into the "four corners" stall, running out the clock while turning away numerous chances for easy slam-dunks and taking care not to stop the clock

Voters Decide on President
by Body Language:
Romney Won the Presidency Last Night

Words don't matter as much as body language when voters decide on the man they trust to lead the nation. Despite all the policy debates, all the fact checking, all the pundits, we don't weigh and balance and research, not most of us. We don't even use our forebrains. We use the most primitive part of our brains, the part that can smell danger, that smells who is the alpha male, who is the omega, who is the rogue. The nose knows who is the real leader. We can smell a winner.

Obama: The Dictator's Choice
For U.S. President

Election '12: From Moscow to Caracas to Havana, something disturbing is happening: Dictators with long records of enmity toward the U.S. are endorsing Obama for president. What does that say about the Obama presidency? Fresh from abusing Venezuela's opposition after his own rigged re-election, Chavez declared, "If I were American, I would vote for Obama. He is my candidate." It was his second direct endorsement of Obama in a week. After that, he spooled off his plans to impose socialism on his country. Around the same time, Mariela Castro, daughter of Cuba's ruling communist capo Raul Castro, Fidel's brother,

It was a little much when President Barack Obama said that he was "offended" by the suggestion that his administration would try to deceive the public about what happened in Benghazi. What has this man not deceived the public about? Remember his pledge to cut the deficit in half in his first term in office? This was followed by the first trillion dollar deficit ever, under any President of the United States -- followed by trillion dollar deficits in every year of the Obama administration. Remember his pledge to have a "transparent" government

The Republican-leaning outside group Crossroads GPS is launching a new spot in Ohio and Wisconsin featuring a couple who offered a testimonial about Mitt Romney's aide to their dying son during the GOP convention. The spot, a copy of which was provided to POLITICO, goes on the air today with a $4.1 million buy fueling it, the group's officials said. It features Ted and Pat Oparowski, who knew the Romneys through their church and whose son, David, was diagnosed with cancer in 1979. Mrs. Oparowski talks in the spot about her son and Romney developing "quite a friendship,"

Clips of Obama ‘apology tour’

During Monday night’s third and final presidential debate, President Barack Obama denied the charge by Republican nominee Mitt Romney that Obama had gone on a global “apology tour” after assuming office. But a collection of clips of the president, assembled by the nonpartisan conservative group Young America’s Foundation, undercuts Obama’s denial. (Snip for video)Another conservative think tank, the Heritage Foundation, hit back against the president’s denial by referring Twitter followers to a Heritage blog post from Sept. 21.

On the day that Barry Diller and Tina Brown announced the death of Newsweek the print magazine, a memorial service for Bob Hughes took place at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Hughes, who died this summer at age 74, was for more than 30 years the art critic of Time, and as the garlands of obituaries attested, he came to be regarded as the finest art critic of his generation. (Snip)Today, Hughes would not be able to enjoy the stature that he had in his heyday, and that is not a knock against him

How Worried is Obama About
the Jewish Vote? Very Worried

Commentary Magazine, by Jonathan S. Tobin Original Article

Posted By: StormCnter- 10/23/2012 5:42:49 AM Post Reply

The overall tone of the foreign policy debate portrayed President Obama’s insecurity about the race as he swung away at Mitt Romney as if he was the challenger rather than the incumbent. But if there was any particular element of the electorate about which he seemed concerned it has to be the Jewish vote. President Obama’s all out effort to portray himself as Israel’s best friend and Iran’s most ardent foe showed just how desperate he is about the possibility that he will lose Jewish votes as a result of spending the first three years of his administration

Thoughts on the final
presidential debate

A number of surprising things in this third and final presidential debate of the 2012 presidential election. There was more consensus on foreign policy than many expected. Mitt Romney declined an invitation to attack Barack Obama on the statements he and administration spokesmen, like Press Secretary Jay Carney and Ambassador to the UN Susan Rice and Obama himself made for two weeks after 9/11/12, that the assault that resulted in the murder of our Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans in Benghazi was a spontaneous response to an anti-Muslim video.

Hawaii: The state that doesn't vote

Lahaina, Hawaii -- Elle Cochran grew up far too enchanted by Maui's rocky coastline and beach-bum lifestyle to care a thing about politics and voting. "You get up, work, go to the beach, sleep -- and do it again," she said of life on this Hawaiian island, which, of course, is known for its surf. "It's just this routine." But after a real estate project was proposed on Honolua Bay -- a cliff-lined cove near her home that's known for its ruler-straight waves -- she decided to do something that's bizarre for a non-voter. She ran for county council.

Can Obama Sustain

Elections these days are determined in part by the swing of unaffiliated voters, which both sides closely contest. They also hinge on how strongly each party’s base turns out to vote. The base vote can be a huge factor in elections. Consider, for instance, that in 2000 George W. Bush won 72 percent of people opposed to abortion in most or all cases. In 2004, he won 75 percent of that bloc. Moreover, turnout among this group increased from 40 percent to 42 percent of the population. Taken together, this increase among an already solidly Republican group

Benghazi swept under rug

What’s the difference between Watergate and Benghazi? Nobody died at Watergate. Yet on the eve of last night’s third and final presidential debate, the mainstream media were practically unanimous in their verdict on Benghazi. Nothing to see here, folks. Move along. Amazing, these are the same rumpswabs and bumkissers who a few years back were in high dudgeon about Valerie Plame — remember Valerie Plame? She was outed as a CIA agent of sorts (she’d worked in Paris, and her cover was a journalist — sounds real dangerous, doesn’t it?). Oh my God, this was the biggest scandal since ... Watergate.

If Mitt Romney wins the presidency two weeks from today, history will record that he sealed the deal last night. However the debate is scored by polls, and early indications are that they are giving the win to President Obama, the effect of the night wasn’t to knock Romney out of the box, or off his stride, or even to cause a stutter in his step. Quite the opposite. The 90 minutes confirmed Romney’s ability to speak coherently, energetically and strongly on a range of foreign-policy issues. And because the debate veered so frequently from foreign policy, it allowed Romney

Mitt Romney Keeps Command
Amid Attacks – and Looks to Future

In a debate about who should be commander-in-chief, Mitt Romney was just as much in command as the man in the job now. President Obama came into the debate with a record to boast of, and he used it to play offense. He poked and prodded Romney, even tried to bayonet him at one point, and sought to lecture his opponent on what it’s like actually to be president. The president accomplished what he needed to, particularly by taking the role of the aggressor that his base has wanted so desperately this debate season. But Romney also had a strong debate,

Obama’s jihadist cover-up

Washington Times, by Editorial Original Article

The Obama campaign keeps having to answer questions about White House reluctance to use the word “terrorism” in describing the Sept. 11 killing of four Americans in Benghazi, Libya. The latest argument in Mr. Obama’s defense is that he had no reason to conceal the attack’s true nature. We’re to believe he was simply the victim of conflicting intelligence reports. For this gambit to work, we’d have to forget the president’s well-established pattern of going easy when discussing terrorists. If the attack is a “spontaneous mob action,” it clears the White House from charges of intelligence failure.

Both men approached Monday’s debate behaving as if President Obama were the underdog. The president was clearly the more aggressive of the two and Governor Romney less so, playing it safe while putting his knowledge on display to pass the commander in chief test. And while Obama may have won the debate on points, as he did in the second debate, he failed to score the “knockout punch” he needed to turn the trajectory of the race, at least in the frame of the debates. More important, Romney passed the commander in chief test,

Romney Passed the Test

Mitt Romney’s aim was to present himself with the demeanor and grasp of foreign and national security issues of a president of the United States. He succeeded. President Obama sought to make Romney appear unqualified to be president and commander in chief. He failed. And that was the story of the third and final presidential debate. This may or may not give the Romney campaign a boost, but it won’t hurt. Romney wasn’t stumped or forced on the defensive on any issue. He committed no gaffes.

Obama, Disarmed

It was a fascinating debate, in that Romney seemed to disarm Obama’s new attacks that he is a warmonger who would get the U.S. into more wars if elected. Romney could have gone on the attack about Libya, but probably didn’t to avoid giving the president an opening to recite well-rehearsed talking points about not politicizing a tragedy. Romney was very strong on Iran, and the president’s statements were simply false. Romney is right that Iran is four years closer to a nuclear weapon. The president’s claims that his administration led the international community

“Governor, when it comes to our foreign policy, you seem to want to import the foreign policies of the 1980s, just like the social policies of the 1950s and the economic policies of the 1920s.” That was President Obama’s jibe at Governor Romney in the foreign policy debate just ended. We figure the reason the governor sat there without responding is that he was just too flattered. The fact is that the foreign policies of the 1980s, the social policies of the 1950s, and most emphatically the economic policies of the 1920s have a great deal to commend of
