Mitt will get the jobs done

New York Post, by Editorial Original Article

Posted By: Pluperfect- 10/25/2012 5:14:24 AM Post Reply

Four frustratingly long years ago, a war-weary and economically battered America took a flier on a savior. It didn’t work out. Now, in 12 days, the nation will return to the polls — to reject, or to ratify, the results of the great Barack Obama experiment. That is, to reject or to ratify the notion that hoping for change is a sound footing for productive national policy. But, by the evidence, it is not. It cannot create jobs. It cannot reduce deficits. It cannot restore foreign confidence in America — or Americans’ confidence in their own great nation.

CNN’s hormonal lady voters

Oh dear. CNN has managed to dig up one of those mysterious Studies that emerge from time to time to enrage the Internet. The article begins: “While the campaigns eagerly pursue female voters, there’s something that may raise the chances for both presidential candidates that’s totally out of their control: women’s ovulation cycles. “You read that right. New research suggests that hormones may influence female voting choices differently, depending on whether a woman is single or in a committed relationship.” And it’s downhill from there

Benghazi chickens, roosting

Now for the two classic coverup questions: What did President Obama know about the 9/11 Benghazi terrorist attack? And when did he know it? Answers: * Plenty. * Soon enough to realize that the savage attack was in no way a spontaneous event — and to understand that lying about its origins wasn’t going to wash. But lie Obama did, repeatedly — and now he, his administration and his re-election effort are in a world of well-earned hurt. E-mails revealed Tuesday by several news agencies show that within two hours of the initial assault, the White House Situation Room

Romney's momentum
can help him win

All three presidential debates are now in the books and the race to the White House is taking its final shape. Looking back, the first debate was undoubtedly the watershed moment of this campaign and the most powerful inflection point in the race to date. President Obama regained some lost ground in the next two debates, including Monday night's event, but the damage had already been done. Mitt Romney now carries the momentum into the home stretch. Like in the second debate, Obama came out Monday night more aggressive and more provocative. He threw more punches and landed more punches,

Obama's Fog of War

There's been a whole lot written and said about Benghazi, but in my view, few are hitting the nail on the head. What is really going on is that President Obama's worldview is collapsing in the face of reality, and even he can't prevaricate enough to sustain that view in the public's mind. Despite using both the words "terror" and "Benghazi" somewhere in a long speech on September 12, Obama later blamed the Benghazi attack on "the video" -- first on Letterman on September 16 and then at the U.N. on September 25.

Krauthammer: Lack of Benghazi
media coverage ‘a

During the online portion of Fox News Channel’s “Special Report” on Wednesday, Washington Post columnist Charles Krauthammer used some particularly harsh words to describe the media’s coverage of the aftermath of the Sept. 11 attack on the Benghazi embassy. “This is really a journalistic scandal,” Krauthammer said. “I mean, the fact there was not a word about any of this in the Times or the Post today.” Krauthammer pointed out that recently released emails proved the White House, contrary to its assertions, was aware of terrorists’ connection to the attack almost immediately.

Obama sings the ballot box blues

This election is not turning out the way President Obama had expected. Perhaps that is why he has looked so uncomfortable in his three debates with the suddenly debonair Mitt Romney. Possibly, Mr. Obama had expected something more from the former governor of Massachusetts, the CEO of the 2002 Winter Olympics, the former head of Bain Capital — and, incidentally, is not Bain Capital assuming the same demonic role in this contest between Mr. Obama and Mr. Romney as Halliburton industries once played in the campaigns of Bush-Cheney? It is, I suppose, an asset

Dutch Warship Destroys
Pirate 'Mother Ship'

Somali pirates may not be as active as they once were in the waters off of east Africa, but they still pose a significant danger to anyone who crosses their path. As a group of alleged pirates learned today, however, AK 47s are no match for the power of a NATO warship. Early Wednesday, the crew of the Dutch warship HNMLS Rotterdam spotted a dhow close to the Somali shoreline. Because these kinds of fishing vessels are often used as "mother ships" for pirate crews, a boarding team was routinely dispatched to inspect the vessel.

The Divorce Papers Behind
the Allred Allegations

Attorney Gloria Allred has reportedly been planning a pre-Election Day surprise targeting Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney. The key for the attention-seeking lawyer, it seems, is to uncover "Mitt Romney’s 1991 testimony in the divorce of Staples founder Tom Stemberg," the Boston Globe reports. But a document revealing the judge's ruling on the case in 1994 suggests the case has long been legally settled. As the Globe notes, "Stemberg’s ex-wife, Maureen Sullivan Stemberg, appeared in court on Wednesday and supported the release of Romney’s testimony. Robert G. Jones, an attorney for Romney,

Labor unions, liberal groups fear
lame-duck betrayal by Obama

Major labor unions and dozens of liberal groups working to elect President Obama are worried he could “betray” them in the lame-duck session by agreeing to a deal to cut safety-net programs. While Obama is relying on labor unions and other organizations on the left to turn out Democratic voters in battleground states, some of his allies have lingering concerns about whether he will stand by them if elected. The liberal groups are planning to launch an aggressive campaign immediately after Election Day to pressure Obama and Senate Democrats

Gallup: The gender gap is

I can’t imagine why men wouldn’t think President Obama is speaking to them. Despite the great attention paid to the importance of the women’s vote in the 2012 election, there has been a larger change in men’s than in women’s preferences compared with 2008. Barack Obama’s support is down seven percentage points among men versus three points among women. In Gallup’s latest 21-day rolling average of likely voter preferences, based on interviewing conducted Oct. 1-21, Romney leads Obama by 14 points among men, whereas Obama and John McCain were tied among men

I’ve been told that when “Saturday Night Live” lampoons you, you’ve finally made it. Or, maybe that’s just what helps me sleep at night, as the recent victim/beneficiary of an “SNL” parody. The other possibility is that you’re so ripe for mockery, and your mere existence is so absurd, “SNL” can ignore you no longer. Undecided voters, I’m talking to you. The “SNL” parody of so-called undecideds has characters saying things like: “Before you get our vote, you’re going to have to answer some questions. Questions like, When is the election? When do we have to decide?

The president told the crowd of 13,000 that he was pulling an all-nighter, adding that if he wasn't going to get any sleep, he "might as well be in Vegas." After a multistate tour on Wednesday, President Barack Obama wrapped up his day with a late-evening campaign rally headlined by singer Katy Perry at a park in Las Vegas. Perry, wearing a dress that looked like a giant ballot, warmed up the crowd as the president traveled from Los Angeles to Las Vegas for the free gathering, which drew more about 13,000 people.

President Barack Obama was relaxed and in jocular mood when he appeared on the Jay Leno Show but gave Mitt Romney an opening when he quipped that he struggled with mathematics beyond the Seventh grade – age 13. Obama was talking about helping his daughters with their maths homework when he said that ‘the math stuff I was fine with, up until 7th grade’ but he was ‘pretty lost’ after that. In times of economic prosperity, the joke might have prompted hearty chuckles on both sides of the political aisle but with a $16 trillion deficit, a sputtering economy

Foster McCollum White Baydoun (FMW)B, a national public opinion polling and voter analytics consulting firm based in Michigan and representing the combined resources of Foster McCollum White & Associates (Troy Michigan) and Baydoun Consulting (Dearborn Michigan) conducted a telephone-automated polling random survey of Michigan registered and most likely November 2012 General election voters for Fox 2 News Detroit to determine their voting and issue preferences for the presidential election. An initial qualifying statement was read to respondents asking them to participate only if they were very likely to vote in the November General Election.

The President Sends His Non-Regrets

President Obama doesn't give many interviews these days outside Comedy Central, so it caused a stir Wednesday when editors at the Des Moines Register managed to pin him down and even elicit some news. Specifically, Mr. Obama said he wants to pursue immigration reform in a second term, as well as a budget "grand bargain" with Republicans that includes tax reform. This will come as a surprise to voters reading the President's just-released 20-page brochure on his second-term agenda, which makes little or no mention of these priorities. Perhaps that's why the White House first demanded that the interview be off

US may soon become world's

New York — U.S. oil output is surging so fast that the United States could soon overtake Saudi Arabia as the world's biggest producer. Driven by high prices and new drilling methods, U.S. production of crude and other liquid hydrocarbons is on track to rise 7 percent this year to an average of 10.9 million barrels per day. This will be the fourth straight year of crude increases and the biggest single-year gain since 1951. The boom has surprised even the experts. "Five years ago, if I or anyone had predicted today's production growth, people would have thought we were crazy,”

Why Did Obama Run Left?

Let the pre-criminations begin! Clive Crook asks why on earth Obama ceded the center to Mitt Romney by running a class-warfare-based campaign. Crook sees Obama as a centrist mysteriously cowed by his party’s leftist base. I think we can clear this mystery up. Obama ran a leftist class-warfare campaign because…well, he’s a leftist class-warrior. I’ve been struck by commentators on both right and left treating Obama’s leftist campaign as a matter of strict necessity. For a couple of years, conventional wisdom has held that the weak economy left Obama little choice but to turn this into a base election.

It is looking less likely that Hurricane Sandy, which is churning its way toward New England from the Caribbean, will simply slide by the region, the National Weather Service says. “There’s some confidence we will probably be impacted but to what extent is still very uncertain,” Weather Service meteorologist Hayden Frank said Wednesday night. Meteorologists have been keeping a close eye on Sandy, saying that it could miss the region entirely, brush by it, or slam directly into it early next week. But Wednesday night computer models began to suggest that the region will not go unscathed.

The Association for Palliative Medicine, which represents 1,000 doctors who work in hospices and specialist hospital wards, will ‘identify and explore concerns’ over the system of caring for patients in their final days. The Mail has highlighted the growing fears of patients’ relatives and many doctors that the care pathway is really a way of hastening the deaths of terminally ill patients. Several families have been shocked to find that their loved ones have been put on the pathway--which involves

Al Qaeda tries Afghan comeback;

Kabul, Afghanistan - A diminished but resilient al Qaeda, whose 9/11 attacks drew America into its longest war, is attempting a comeback in Afghanistan’s mountainous east even as U.S. and allied forces wind down their combat mission and concede a small but firm toehold to the terrorist group. That concerns U.S. commanders, who have intensified strikes against al Qaeda cells in recent months. It also undercuts an Obama administration narrative portraying al Qaeda as battered to the point of being a nonissue in Afghanistan as Western troops start leaving.

If your heart stops and you fall to the ground, your chances of survival may depend on which neighborhood you're in when you collapse. Patients suffering cardiac arrest in poorer, predominantly black neighborhoods were half as likely to receive CPR from a bystander as those in richer, predominantly white neighborhoods, according to research published in Thursday's edition of the New England Journal of Medicine. Even cardiac arrest victims in well-to-do black neighborhoods were 23% less likely to receive bystander assistance. And overall, blacks and Latinos were less likely to receive aid, regardless of where they were.
