Pushing to expand map,

ads in Democratic-friendly Minnesota

Associated Press, by Steve Peoples* Original Article

Defiance, Ohio - Republican Mitt Romney is placing television ads in Minnesota, a move that pushes his presidential campaign into a state Democrats have held for more than three decades. Republicans and Democrats who track campaign spending confirmed late Thursday that Romney will begin running ads in Minnesota over the weekend. The investment is described as a small buy that Democrats suggest is simply intended to generate media coverage and force President Barack Obama's campaign to invest there as well.(Snip) Richard Nixon in 1972 was the last Republican to carry Minnesota.

When President Barack Obama gives a speech, he has just one request for his daughters Sasha and Malia: Don’t look bored. “That was the instruction before he gave his speech at the DNC,” First Lady Michelle Obama told Jimmy Kimmel on Thursday night’s show. “We’re backstage and they’re playing around and they’re laughing and they’re giggling and he said, ‘Just act like you’re listening to me!’”Even under the watchful eye of the Secret Service, keeping two adolescent girls in line is no easy task, Michelle admitted. “The whole time, I’m clapping and looking over at them

Romney calls economic growth

Washington-Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney says a new report on the nation's economic growth is "discouraging." The Commerce Department reported Friday that the U.S. economy expanded at a slightly faster 2 percent annual rate from July through September. But Romney suggested that pickup wasn't sufficient to create enough jobs and improve take-home pay. He argued he would do better. The report comes as the GOP nominee prepared to deliver an economic speech in the swing state of Iowa. Romney is focusing on the public's economic concerns heading into the final days of the campaign as polls suggest Americans say

Jeep, an Obama favorite, looks to

In another potential blow for the president's Ohio reelection campaign, Jeep, the rugged brand President Obama once said symbolized American freedom, is considering giving up on the United States and shifting production to China. Such a move would crash the economy in towns like Toledo, Ohio, where Jeeps are made and supplied, and rob the community of the economic security they thought Obama's auto bailout assured them.

Why Obama Will Win

Was it all a bluff? As Mitt Romney’s ‘surge’ erodes, the Republican nominee’s campaign faces reality. Across the swing states, the polls show the president holds the advantage. We have now witnessed the penultimate phase of Mitt’s moderate makeover tour. He pleaded nolo contendre in the final presidential debate—perhaps wisely because his comprehension of foreign policy evidences all the depth of a sound bite. Every time he’s touched Libya, for example, he’s been burned—and that night, even as he all but endorsed President Obama’s foreign policy. Mitt, ever heard of the Persian Gulf?

Pentagon Withholds $47 Million
From Lockheed on F-35

Bloomberg News, by Tony Capaccio Original Article

Posted By: BuckeyeRon- 10/26/2012 10:44:53 AM Post Reply

The Pentagon is withholding $46.5 million from Lockheed Martin Corp (LMT), its biggest contractor, because of continued flaws with a business system used to track costs and schedules for the F-35 fighter. The money held back was assessed against two F-35 production contracts and a smaller development agreement with the Israeli Air Force that’s managed by the U.S. The funds equal 5 percent of periodic billings against the contracts for reimbursement of money spent by the company performing the work. The F-35 has been criticized by Pentagon officials and lawmakers for test-performance failings, delays and its ballooning cost.

Gay Marriage Pits Laymen

At a Seattle synagogue, volunteers are running a phone bank urging voters to uphold Washington’s same-sex marriage law. In Maryland, Catholics are poised to preach from the pulpit opposing a similar initiative. Voters in those states as well as Maine are less than two weeks from deciding whether to hand ballot-box victory to same- sex marriage proponents for the first time after more than a decade of defeat. Campaigns on both sides are targeting religious communities, where leaders holding on to centuries of opposition to homosexuality are often pitted against their congregants’ evolving attitudes toward gay nuptials.

A Chronic Case of Obamnesia

Wall Street Journal, by Kimberly Strassel Original Article

With 10 days until the election, Barack Obama's latest strategy is to claim that his opponent has developed "stage 3 Romnesia." Mitt Romney, the argument goes, is conveniently forgetting his real agenda, flipping his positions to better appeal to the electorate. Since Mr. Romney's conservative base would surely disagree, this raises the question of whether the president isn't himself suffering from a psychological malady that experts call "projection." *** "I happen to be a proponent of a single-payer universal health care program"—Illinois state Sen. Barack Obama, June 2003. "I have not said that I was a single-payer supporter"—President Obama, August 2009.

If you’ve got a nice kitchen sink, guard it well. A surrogate for Barack Obama or Mitt Romney (or someone pretending to be) could be lurking in the shrubbery under the kitchen window, plotting to scavenge something to throw into the campaign. It’s the season of the October surprise.

Brush away all the rhetoric, all the vitriol, all the divisiveness from the presidential campaign. To most Americans, only one thing matters — the economy. Four years into Barack Obama’s presidency, economic growth is sputtering. Family incomes are down. Poverty is up. Business owners are reluctant to assume risk in the face of unending uncertainty.Many are holding on by their fingernails, desperate for signs of an economic recovery that will help them provide for themselves, their employees, their customers and their communities.

Charles Woods, the father of Tyrone Woods, who was killed in the 9/11 terrorist attack at the American consulate in Benghazi, Libya, reveals details of meeting Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton at the publically broadcast memorial service for the slain Americans at Andrews Air Force Base only days after the attack. And, in a recent radio appearance, Woods publicly questions who made the call not to send in back-up forces to possibly save his son’s life, as well as the three other Americans killed in Benghazi (which includes the American ambassador to Libya).

DEFIANCE, Ohio — Thursday was a night that Mitt Romney will most certainly never forget. There was the huge and buoyant crowd that filled the football stadium here beneath a giant American flag; the foot-stomping concert by Big & Rich and Alabama’s Randy Owens; and a fireworks display. But it was Meat Loaf’s wild and meandering endorsement of the Republican candidate that stole the show. Romney’s raucous rally capped his 310-mile bus tour that began in Cincinnati on Thursday morning. Appearing on stage after John Rich (of Big & Rich) and before Owens, Meat Loaf told the crowd

All the big names and bright lights follow Barack Obama around the country, hour by hour, these days watching him trying to salvage a once certain victory from the determined drive of this businessman fellow, whom Obama just called a "bullsh***er." Ah, the class of this Chicago crowd, always raising the bar for public discourse.

Pointing Toward Prosperity

Mitt Romney has been barnstorming the country, telling voters that he has a five-point plan to restore prosperity. And some voters, alas, seem to believe what he’s saying. So President Obama has now responded with his own plan, a little blue booklet containing 27 policy proposals. How do these two plans stack up? Well, as I’ve said before, Mr. Romney’s “plan” is a sham. It’s a list of things he claims will happen, with no description of the policies he would follow to make those things happen. “We will cut the deficit

Valerie Jarrett is hard to find. Outsiders catch only short glimpses of her — a public conversation with Natalie Portman at a campaign event for women in Las Vegas, a wire photo with Will.i.am on the convention floor, a rare television appearance on Morning Joe. She's not one of the administration's leading public faces, but her low profile belies her importance. She holds the title of senior advisor to President Barack Obama; she is a best friend to Michelle. She is one of the most powerful black women in American history.

The San Francisco Chronicle is standing by its columnist’s report that President Barack Obama recently held a get-out-the-vote teleconference with his anti-American former pastor, Jeremiah Wright. The report appeared Oct. 20 in a column by Willie Brown, the city’s former Democratic mayor and a 15-year chairman of the state assembly. The purpose of Obama’s teleconference, according to Brown, was to talk with faith leaders about ways to spur turnout among African-Americans.
