Police: Winnsboro woman
set fire to herself

Shreveport Times [LA], by Michael Doughty* Original Article

Posted By: PChristopher- 10/24/2012 6:23:10 AM Post Reply

In the aftermath of a horrific incident in which a 20-year-old Winnsboro woman was severely burned, nearly 130 residents of the tight-knit community attended a candlelight vigil Tuesday night to offer prayers and support to Sharmeka Moffitt and her family. The vigil took place hours after investigators said Moffitt lied to police when she claimed three unidentified assailants in white hoodies set her on fire.

Obama's Nameless War
With a Nameless Enemy

American Spectator, by Daniel Mandel Original Article

In the final presidential debate on October 22, President Barack Obama spoke briefly about the September 11, 2012 terrorist attack on U.S. officials and personnel in Benghazi. He outlined why the U.S. had gone into Libya before the attack. He outlined the answers he is still seeking following the attack. But he did not say why this terrorist attack had occurred or why the U.S. had been ill-prepared to meet it in what is, after all, a volatile city alive with militias recently freed from dictatorial rule. Nor did he tell us why his Administration

U.S. Senatorial candidate Richard Mourdock is catching heat for comments he made during Tuesday's debate. When asked about abortion, the Republican said he opposes abortion in cases of rape and incest because "even when life begins in that horrible situation of rape, it is something that God intended."

Hit Mitt not enough

Everything was going great for Barack Obama until about 9:04 on the night of Oct. 3, when Mitt Romney startled everybody by refusing to live up to his caricature as The Worst Candidate Ever. Romney’s late-game comeback — an unexpected assertion of presidential competence in front of 67 million viewers — robbed Obama of his momentum and forced the president’s team to make a subtle yet significant change to their closing argument in the critical last two weeks of the 2012 campaign. Obama’s Chicago-based brain trust had intended to highlight four years of “solid, steady progress”

Obama’s Real Record On Israel

Wormwood and ashes; that’s what it must be for Barack Obama to run for re-election under false pretenses. Barack Obama, friend of fracking! Apologize for America? No way! Where’s my lapel flag pin? Israel? I’m her greatest supporter! Obama has come a long way from the days when he “palled around,” as Sarah Palin put it, with Rashid Khalidi, delivering a tribute so explosive that it must never see the light of day. But what does Obama really think about Israel and her enemies? Actions speak louder than words. Anne Bayefsky of Eye on the U.N. went to the trouble

Obama Overloads a Tale of Equal Pay

Wall Street Journal, by Victoria Toensing Original Article

President Obama makes much of his concern for women's rights, particularly regarding equal pay, but he seems not to be aware that for nearly half a century we have enjoyed the protection of two laws requiring equal pay. The 1963 Equal Pay Act and Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act combined to settle the matter in law. Mr. Obama brags that the 2009 Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act bestowed equal-pay rights for women. The act, he has said, "is a big step toward making sure every worker," male and female, "receives equal pay for equal work."

September surprise

On Sept. 15, 2008, Barack Obama was behind in the polls, caught off balance by the Sarah Palin selection and in trouble for the first time since his nomination. Then the financial collapse blindsided his rival, caused a huge civil war in the Republican Party, and dropped the presidency into his lap. It wasn't the first time blind luck seemed to help Obama. When he ran for the Senate, his two serious rivals were sidelined by scandals that broke at the just the right moment, leaving him to cruise in against a far-right ranter (Alan Keyes)

No Joking Matter: O’s Declining Navy

National Review Online, by Alexander B. Gray Original Article

Posted By: StormCnter- 10/24/2012 5:35:43 AM Post Reply

President Obama’s attempt to discredit Mitt Romney’s farsighted plan to rebuild the U.S. Navy — derisively referencing “horses and bayonets” — shows his obliviousness to the real-life consequences of his leadership. A look at what this administration’s policies have meant to the U.S. Navy is both revealing and frightening. Over the last four years, the combat strength of the U.S. Navy has been degraded to an extraordinary degree. President Obama is fond of saying that Governor Romney would spend “trillions of dollars that the military isn’t asking for.” In fact, successive chiefs of naval operations have testified

Professor Warren’s Mystery Contract

Washington Free Beacon, by Bill McMorris Original Article

Massachusetts Democratic senate candidate Elizabeth Warren garnered a lucrative no-bid contract with the Clinton administration’s Department of Justice (DOJ) one year after advising then-First Lady Hillary Clinton. The Department paid Warren, a Harvard professor, $90,000 for serving as an expert witness over a five month period in 1999 and 2000, documents show. That is an “oddly” large sum given the short time frame and the hourly pay rate DOJ pays witnesses, according to University of Minnesota law professor Richard Painter. “That’s a whale of a contract,” said Painter, who served as chief ethics lawyer for the White House under the Bush administration.

Disdain is the stain on Obama

So, WHAT’S to like? That question danced around my head during Monday night’s debate. Every time President Obama mocked, personally attacked and sneered at Mitt Romney, I kept wondering why so many Americans say they like Obama even as they don’t like his policies. How do you like a president who shows utter contempt for his opponent? How do you like a president who responds to criticism of his record with a snide blast at his opponent’s personal wealth? The questions would be easier to answer if the debate were an exception. But it wasn’t.

Carter Visits Abbas to

I’ve written over the last year about the newest phenomenon among the Palestinians and their supporters: they do not want negotiations—at all—with the Israeli government. In the past, the Palestinian leadership could at least use negotiations as a ploy to bide time or look like statesmen, and force Israeli leaders to spend their time on the Palestinian issue instead of other domestic issues. But something changed with the speech Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made at Bar Ilan University in 2009, in which he declared his support for a two-state solution.(Snip)And now Jimmy Carter is getting in on the action.

'old-fashioned' fighting techniques

One of the most memorable moments of last night's final presidential debate was Barack Obama's mocking comparison of Mitt Romney's foreign policy to the era of 'horses and bayonets'. The barb, which rapidly became popular on social networks, was intended to paint the Republican challenger as inexperienced and out of touch with the realities of modern military conduct. But the President's mocking comment threw the spotlight on the fighting techniques - because both bayonets and horses have remained important parts of the U.S. military right up to the present day.

A group of over 30 business leaders, including Jack Welch, slammed President Barack Obama in a paid advertisement that appeared recently in USA Today. "In a campaign season marked by new lows in polarizing rhetoric, some of the most divisive has originated from the President and his allies — and has been aimed at successful people in the business sector," the business leaders write. "These attacks are not getting us anywhere. They are really just political tricks to distract from the President’s own policy failures." The successful business leaders then explain how, in their opinion, Obama has been anti-business:

Iowa Newspaper Scolds White

President Obama and his campaign have been diligently working to win the endorsements from newspapers in battleground states, which is why he placed a call to The Des Moines Register on Tuesday. While Mr. Obama will not learn until this weekend whether he will receive a second-term endorsement from the editorial page of Iowa’s largest newspaper, he was handed an outside-the-Beltway lesson when an off-the-record conversation requested by the White House spilled into public view. The editor of the newspaper, Rick Green, shared an account of the presidential telephone call with his readers in a blog post on Tuesday evening.

Mr. President, why so angry? What’s up with that gloomy edge and the sour mood? Aside from all the bewildering back-and-forth about Libya, Iran, apology tours, and auto bailouts, by far the most important aspect of the third and final presidential debate involved its atmospherics—which candidate came across as more calming and confident, more plausible and reassuring as commander-in-chief? Which of the contenders, in other words, emerged from their final confrontation looking like a leader, frontrunner, and ultimate winner? In that regard Barack Obama helped himself with his fluent command of foreign affairs

Crowley — who cut into a fiery exchange between Romney and Obama in an attempt to clarify whether Obama called the attack on a U.S. consulate in Libya an “act of terror” — said she was merely trying to keep the discussion moving forward in order to give more audience members

More elected American officials need to act like this. Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott today advised the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe — a United Nations partner — that groups and individuals from outside the United States do not have jurisdiction to interfere with Texas elections. The Attorney General’s letter comes after the international group — comprised of 56 members including EU nations and other countries such as Albania, Azerbaijan, Cyprus, Estonia, Kazakhstan, Latvia, the Russian Federation, Slovenia and Turkey — announced they would be sending election observers to sites throughout the United States,

Obama’s Inflated Jobs Claim

Factcheck*, by Brooks Jackson Original Article

Posted By: Pluperfect- 10/24/2012 4:33:08 AM Post Reply

In a new TV ad, President Obama makes an inflated claim to have added 5.2 million new jobs. The total added during his time in office is actually about 325,000. In the ad, the president says “over 5 million new jobs” while the figure “5.2 million” appears on screen. But that’s a doubly misleading figure. Viewers would need to pay close attention to the on-screen graphic to know that the ad refers only to employment gains starting in March 2010, omitting the 4.3 million jobs that were lost in the first year of Obama’s term.

A new survey of presidential campaign ads reveals that those from Mitt Romney and President Obama jazz Republicans, pushing GOP enthusiasm 42 percent higher than it was in 2008 for Sen. John McCain. "Democratic ads are goosing Republican enthusiasm," said poll analyst Adam Schaeffer of Evolving Strategies, a public opinion research firm. "That in turn will boost Republican turnout," he added. (Snip) But more importantly, Schaeffer said that ads from both campaigns were jolting Republican enthusiasm. He told Secrets that the Obama ads especially irk GOP voters.

MORRISON, Colo.- Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney's son Tagg has apologized to President Barack Obama for saying in a radio interview that he was tempted to "take a swing" at the president for criticizing his father during a debate. Tagg Romney on Monday walked up on stage with other family members after the third presidential debate, where cameras showed him shaking hands and exchanging words with Obama. After the second presidential debate, Tagg told a radio interviewer it made him angry when Obama questioned his father's honesty. Tagg Romney said, quote, "You want to rush down

Gloria Allred has not yet been heard from, which I guess is another way of saying that the fat lady has not yet sung.

Power Line’s Pick Six candidate Mia Love became a star at the Republican National Convention, which prompted a series of vicious racist attacks by the Democrats.

Both presidential campaigns insisted Tuesday that they are better positioned to win a tight race for the White House that looks like it will come down to the wire. President Obama’s reelection team argues it always knew the 2012 election would be close and that the momentum GOP nominee Mitt Romney received after the first debate has petered out. The battle largely will come down to turnout, where Obama holds an edge from the 2008 campaign and early voting efforts by Democrats. And while Romney has gained in a number of swing states, the incumbent holds a stable advantage in
