Romnesia

American Thinker, by Matthew May Original Article

Posted By: JoniTx- 10/25/2012 9:13:18 PM Post Reply

We are all Republicans -- we are all Federalists. A new birth of freedom. My hat is in the ring. The New Deal. The silent majority. The New Frontier. The buck stops here...Romnesia? As he has demonstrated in all other aspects of his presidency, Barack Obama cannot match any of his predecessors (with the possible exceptions of James Buchanan and Jimmy Carter) in any area. This has become evident again in his lame attempt to coin a memorable political phrase, action, or idea. Romnesia is his latest lead zeppelin. "Romnesia" is Obama's idea of a clever

It appears as though MSNBC has gone into overdrive covering up for the Obama administration over the terrorist attack on our consulate in Libya. Following emails uncovered by CBS News late Tuesday evening showing the White House knew within two hours that the attack was terrorist related, MSNBC has run a grand total of two stories on these shocking developments. Unlike yesterday, NBC's Today did provide a news brief on the emails Thursday morning as well as a story during Wednesday night’s Nightly News, but their sister cable network MSNBC has only covered the story once today,

SAN FRANCISCO - Amazon.com Inc reported its first quarterly net loss in more than five years on Thursday as the world's largest Internet retailer spent heavily and suffered from an economic slowdown in Europe. Amazon shares slipped slightly to $220.75 in after-hours trading after the results. The company said its third-quarter net loss was $274 million, or 60 cents a share, versus net income of $63 million, or 14 cents a share, in the third quarter of 2011. Part of the loss related to an impairment charge from Amazon's investment in daily deal company LivingSocial.

Jerry Brown tax hike suddenly on

Los Angeles - Support for Gov. Jerry Brown’s plan to raise billions in taxes – necessary to square California’s budget and avoid draconian budget cuts that would be triggered automatically – has suddenly and seriously slipped to below 50 percent, two major state polls say. (Snip) According to the new USC Dornsife/Los Angeles Times poll, support for Brown’s initiative has plunged nine percentage points in the past month to just 46 percent of registered voters. A separate poll by the Public Policy Institute of California (PPIC) put support among likely voters at 48 percent, below the 50 percent needed

Scandal: More than six hours after terrorists attacked our consulate, former Navy SEALs manned a blood-soaked machine gun to defend U.S. territory. Meanwhile Apache helicopters sat on the ground in Italy. At 4 a.m. local time on Sept. 11 — six hours and 20 minutes after the initial attack began — former Navy SEALs Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty were killed at the CIA annex not far from the consulate by a mortar shell. (Snip) During that eternity, Woods and Doherty might have wondered between gunfire and explosions where the military, with bases strewn across Europe, was.

Common Defense: The president says it's OK to have fewer ships because today's vessels have much better capabilities. But each ship can be in only one place at a time. (Snip) As we've noted, we can have the most capable ships in the world, but they can't be everywhere at once with all of them constantly at sea. Some need to be in port, being refueled and refitted, their crews resting. The rest have multiple commitments, such as defending the Taiwan Strait, keeping the Strait of Hormuz open, chasing pirates off Somalia, and contesting Beijing in

Tokyo - Satellite images suggest that contrary to reports that Pyongyang had shut down its largest labour prison in June, Camp 22 is still serving as a penal gulag for thousands of inmates. Media reports in South Korea had suggested that the camp, officially known as Penal Labour Colony 22, had been abandoned and the inmates dispersed to other prisons. Imagery collected by the Washington-based Committee for Human Rights in North Korea as recently as October 11 indicates the camp continues to function, it said in a report. (Snip) The camp is in fact a collection of interconnected detention facilities

President Obama appeared to need some help on Thursday as he cast his early ballot in Chicago. Obama, using a touch-screen voting machine, required the assistance of one of the poll workers a few minutes into the process. It took Obama about three or four minutes to go through the ballot, according to a White House pool report, which noted that a poll worker had to help the president finalize his vote, which took a few additional minutes.

The number of American workers collecting federal disability insurance benefits hit yet another record high in October, according to the Social Security Administration. This month 8,803,335 disabled workers are collecting benefits, up from the previous record of 8,786,049 set in September. In February 2009, the first full month after President Barack Obama took office, there were 7,469,240 workers collecting federal disability insurance. Thus, so far in Obama’s term, the number of workers collecting disability has increased by 1,334,095. That works out to a net increase of about 29,646 per month (1,334,095 divided by 45 months), or an average increase of

President Barack Obama was asked for photo identification before he could cast his ballot Thursday in Chicago. Obama voted at 4:20 p.m. local time, “punching his choices into a touch-screen machine after signing forms and showing his driver’s license,” according to the White House press pool report. “Now ignore the fact that there’s no gray hair on that picture,” he told the elections official. “I’m just glad I renewed my driver’s license.” (Snip) Obama and other Democrats — most notably, Eric Holder and other Justice Department officials — have railed against voter ID laws, claiming they serve as barriers to

Republican nominee Mitt Romney has expanded his lead over President Barack Obama in the latest Washington Post/ABC tracking poll to 3 percentage points. It was a 2-point increase from Wednesday (Snip) It's also significant because it means that Romney has hit 50 percent in three tracking polls today: WaPo/ABC, Gallup and Rasmussen. The 47-percent mark for Obama is his lowest since before the national conventions in late September. It's also a 4-point swing from Monday, when Obama held a 1-point advantage over Romney.

This afternoon, the Obama campaign released its latest ad from a celebrity. This one was from Lena Dunham, 26-year-old creator of HBO’s raunchy series Girls. It’s an astoundingly tasteless ad comparing voting for the first time to losing your virginity. Really. And Dunham recommends that if you’re going to have sex – er, vote – for the first time, you should really do it with President Barack Obama.

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

Jesse Scott Owen, 18, said his sense of humor helped him overcome the neck and back pain he suffered from the futon mattress, which knocked him out cold on Broad St. about 12:45 p.m. Tuesday. “This was the most absurd thing that ever happened to me,” he told the Daily News.

Four years after he was elected as a self-described 'hopemonger' promising a new post-partisan era, President Barack Obama is trying to claw his way to re-election with an ugly, divisive campaign in which he is playing the role of fearmonger-in-chief. On a chilling Wednesday evening in a Las Vegas park, Obama spoke to a raucous gathering of some 13,000 – more than twice the number his opponent Mitt Romney had attracted a few days earlier but a far cry from the crowds of 2008 when he was swept into office with a seven-point victory over Senator John McCain.

A deranged nanny stabbed to death two children and wounded herself inside a luxury upper West Side apartment building Thursday, police sources and officials said. NYPD officers rushed to the tony La Rochelle apartment building on W. 75th St. around 5:34 p.m., officials said, after a mother arrived home to a scene of carnage. Police sources said a 6-year-old boy and 2-year-old boy were found bleeding in a bathtub, with multiple stab wounds. They were rushed to St. Luke’s Hopsital, where they died. The nanny was found on the bathroom floor with self-inflicted stab wounds.

ATLANTA -- U.S. Marshals say they have arrested 51-year-old Floyd Palmer at Macy's at Lenox Square. Palmer is accused of shooting a church volunteer at point blank range at World Changers Church International Wednesday morning. Officers went through Palmer's home Wednesday afternoon looking for evidence. They returned overnight with a bomb squad over concern for what turned out to be a homemade alarm system. Investigators said Palmer entered a chapel on the church's campus and started shooting. Palmer is a former church employee; he resigned in August of this year, according to Fulton County spokeswoman Kay Lester.

Mitt Romney has seized further advantage on economic issues at the core of the 2012 campaign, taking him to 50 percent support among likely voters vs. 47 percent for Barack Obama – Romney’s highest vote-preference result of the contest to date. The difference between the two candidates is within the margin of sampling error in the latest ABC News/Washington Post daily tracking poll, and their individual support levels have not significantly changed. But the momentum on underlying issues and attributes is Romney’s. See PDF with full results and charts here.

Post-ABC tracking poll:
Romney 50 percent, Obama 47

Washington Post, by Jon Cohen Original Article

Posted By: NorthernDog- 10/25/2012 6:24:38 PM Post Reply

Republican Mitt Romney has edged ahead of President Obama in the new Washington Post-ABC News national tracking poll, with the challenger winning 50 percent of likely voters for the first time in the campaign. As Romney hits 50, the president stands at 47 percent, his lowest tally in Post-ABC polling since before the national party conventions. A three-point edge gives Romney his first apparent advantage in the national popular vote, but it is not one that is statistically significant with a conventional level of 95 percent confidence. Results from the tracking poll were first released Monday

Adding another wild-card to the 2012 campaign’s final days, a former aide to Vice President Joe Biden has written a tell-all Washington memoir in which he lacerates the former Delaware senator as an “egomaniacal autocrat” who was “determined to manage his staff through fear.” The book is hardly an objective study of the vice president, however. Author Jeff Connaughton, a Biden Senate staffer turned lobbyist, is by his own admission deeply disillusioned with the capital and embittered about his experience with the man who inspired him to enter politics.

President Barack Obama today returned to the South Side and cast an early vote near his Kenwood home. While at the Martin Luther King Community Center in Bronzeville, Obama bantered with the election judge when he presented his ID. "Now ignore the fact that there's no gray hair on that picture," the Democratic president told the elections official. He added: "I'm just glad I renewed my driver's license." Obama then made a pitch for early voting that was clearly aimed at voters in states where the outcome will be tighter than in his home state.
