U. S. News and World Report, by Elizabeth Flock Original Article

Posted By: Scottyboy- 10/24/2012 11:56:04 AM Post Reply

Predictions have been flying fast and furious since flamboyant real estate mogul Donald Trump told Fox & Friends he would make an election-changing announcement about President Barack Obama on Wednesday. The most popular prediction so far is that Trump will drop old divorce papers for Obama and his wife Michelle, a rumor that appears to have started Florida-based investor and CNBC commentator Douglas Kass.

President Barack Obama vowed in an interview published Wednesday that, if re-elected, he will forge a "grand bargain" with Republicans to reduce America's debt and achieve comprehensive immigration—both in the first year of a second term. Obama's comments came in a telephone conversation with the editor and the publisher of the Des Moines Register. The newspaper published the exchange on its website. The conversation had initially been off-the-record, but the White House gave the daily permission to publish it after editor Rick Green penned an unusual public complaint. "It will probably be messy. It won't be pleasant.

Without comment, campaign officials for President Obama this morning released to the Des Moines Register a transcript of an interview he had Tuesday with Laura Hollingsworth, president and publisher of the Register, and Rick Green, editor/vice-president of news. Initially, the White House had asked that the conversation be considered off-the-record and its details not shared with readers. Its release comes on the heels of a Tuesday evening DesMoinesRegister.com blog post by Green questioning why an endorsement interview with the Register would be off-the-record.

A decision on whether to unseal testimony by Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney in the 1987 divorce proceedings of one of his closest friends has been postponed a day to allow the former Bay State governor and his attorneys to review the records. Celebrity feminist attorney Gloria Allred arrived this morning at a Norfolk court to back the unsealing of what she called two volumes of records in the case. “We believe the public has a right to know what Mitt Romney’s testimony was,” Allred told reporters outside Norfolk Probate & Family Court in Canton.

CANTON, Mass. — A Massachusetts probate judge will hold another hearing Thursday before deciding whether to unseal testimony that GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney gave in the divorce case of Staples founder Tom Stemberg. Ex-wife Maureen Stemberg Sullivan appeared in court Wednesday with lawyer Gloria Allred. They said they didn’t object to a Boston Globe motion to lift an impoundment order on Romney’s testimony in the case from the early 1990s.

DAVENPORT, Iowa — First Lady Michelle Obama is appearing in her first TV ad of the 2012 election cycle, making a late campaign appeal to women and Latino voters on behalf of her husband in five key states. The 30-second spot, titled “El Voto Es Crítico,” also features Cristina Saralegui, who is popularly known as the Hispanic Oprah. The women are shown seated beside each other having a conversation about the campaign with their remarks Spanish subtitled. “Why is it so important for Latinos to vote in this election?” Saralegui asks. “So much is at stake,”

CLEMSON, S.C. — The president of Clemson University is chastising those who booed President Barack Obama during the college’s Military Appreciation Day at last weekend's game. During the university’s annual event that was held this year during the Clemson vs. Virginia Tech game on Saturday, a ceremony was held to induct ROTC cadets into the military. The ceremony was disrupted by booing from some fans in the stands. In an email with the subject line, “Dear Clemson Family: Focus on Positive Dialogue and a Civil Discourse,” Clemson University president James Barker addressed the behavior at the football game.

If you’re President Obama, you know you pushed the sarcasm envelope at Monday night’s debate when even Rachel Maddow describes the way you spoke to Mitt Romney as being in “very, very overtly patronizing terms.” Maddow probably meant it as a compliment, but there have been plenty of other observers who were critical of the president’s use of Seinfeldian set-ups and snarky punch lines to score points about military spending and the state of U.S.-Russia relations. Time’s Mark Halperin described the president’s style as “belittling.” Mike Allen at Politico called it “snide derision.”

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — It’s a well-known fact in Pakistan that Osama bin Laden died in 2006 and that the U.S. commando raid on his compound in May 2011 was merely a “drama” orchestrated by President Obama to help win reelection. Of course, if that were true, Obama might have waited until after the first presidential debate of the campaign season to fake the al-Qaeda leader’s killing.

President Barack Obama’s upcoming starring role in SEAL Team Six: The Raid on Osama bin Laden, set to air on the National Geographic Channel two days before the election, has been eclipsed by his bigger role in a real time, real life drama. “The film which originally included a scene showing Gov. Mitt Romney “appearing to oppose the raid”, a complete fabrication of history” (New York Times, Oct. 23, 2012) is after all just the fluff of made-for-television movies.

President Obama is playing the media and, in turn, the American people for fools on the Libya scandal. Reporters and columnists who carried his water have been hung out to dry. The White House cover story — namely that CIA got it all wrong and the White House (in urging us to believe the murder of four Americans was the result of a video riot gone bad) was telling us what it knew, when it knew — has been severely undercut.

Ouch. Monday night was the first time I heard my daughter apply that label to herself, and the word didn't please me.

These twenty-something kiddies were enjoying our hospitality because it was free. They're a company (founder, partners, contractors, trainee), part of the start-up trend whereby young persons hang out at coffee shops, staring into laptops, trying to start the next Foursquare or Fab and make a billion dollars.

Nine people have been charged with voter fraud in a district in Arkansas, after a scheme was uncovered in which half-pint bottles of vodka were used to buy votes. Three of those charged have pleaded guilty, including Democratic State Representative Hudson Hallum who has since resigned. Hallum had allegedly told a local city councilman — who is now a co-defendant — that they “need to use that black limo and buy a couple of cases of some cheap vodka and whiskey to get people to vote.”

GREENSBORO, N.C. –The presidential election is just around the corner and voting issues have already become a problem in Guilford County. On Monday, several voters complained that their electronic ballot machine cast the wrong vote. All the complaints were made by people who voted at the Bur-Mil Park polling location. One of the voters, Sher Coromalis, says she cast her ballot for Governor Mitt Romney, but every time she entered her vote the machine defaulted to President Obama. “I was so upset that this could happen,” said Coromalis.

Two years ago few voters outside Wrentham and its environs knew much about Scott Brown beyond the pickup truck, the barn jacket, and his pledge both to stand squarely in the path of Obamacare and to cut an independent path in Washington. Brown still has the truck and the barn jacket, though the props are less prominent now that he has a voting record to go along with them. And on that score he has kept the promises he made during that special election campaign. There is every reason to believe Brown will continue

DEL RIO — Maverick County Commissioner Rodolfo Bainet Heredia was involved in a bid-rigging scheme, engaged in sex tourism and sold his truck to the presumptive leader of the Zetas drug cartel, an FBI agent said Tuesday during Heredia's detention hearing. A federal magistrate judge ordered Heredia, 54, to be held without bail on cash-smuggling and money-laundering charges. Heredia, who was arrested last week, has been indicted only on those charges, fairly minor in comparison to the allegations made during the hearing.

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip – The emir of Qatar received a hero's welcome during a landmark visit to Gaza on Tuesday, becoming the first head of state to visit the Palestinian territory since the Islamist militant Hamas seized control of the coastal strip five years ago. The landmark visit by Sheik Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani handed the ruling Hamas — branded terrorists by the West and isolated by an Israeli blockade — its biggest diplomatic victory since taking power. It was also a strong sign of the rising power of oil-rich Qatar,

There is no substitute for energy. The whole edifice of modern society is built upon it ... It is not “just another commodity” but the precondition of all commodities, a basic factor equal with air, water, and earth.—E. F. Schumacher, 1973 Energy costs are experienced in many ways in American society. There is, of course, the cost of energy you pay for directly, such as your monthly electricity and gas bills, gasoline, and so on. But people also pay for energy that they consume indirectly — that is, in the goods and services they consume.

Broadening the battlefield:

Mitt Romney is to travel to Wisconsin, a state Barack Obama won in a 14-point blowout four years ago, as the Republican candidate's surging campaign seeks to expand the 'chessboard' into previously safe Democratic territory. At the same time, the Romney campaign has bought television advertising in the Boston market, which reaches screens in New Hampshire, a state Obama won by almost 10 points in 2008. Asked whether Romney himself would be visiting Wisconsin in the closing days of the race, Eric Fehrnstrom, a senior Romney adviser, said: 'Yes. Paul Ryan was just in Pittsburgh. We'll be back
