Bring this list to the attention of undecided voters to help them make up their mind that it is, indeed, time for a change. 1. Jobs not being created -Don’t let the official 7.8 percent unemployment rate for September fool you; work-force participation is at a record low and 23 million American are looking for work. Ten times as many people have dropped out of the work force during Obama’s term than have found a job. His last attempt at helping the unemployed—the 2009 stimulus package—cost nearly a trillion dollars with minimal impact on creating actual jobs.

On a recent afternoon, Nicholas D.

WASHINGTON — Obama administration officials defended their response to the September attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, amid new claims that the White House failed to send help quickly enough as militants overran the mission. The U.S. ambassador and three other Americans died in the hourslong battle. Fox News reported that security officers working for the CIA in Benghazi heard the attack on the consulate but were twice told to wait before rushing to the compound. Fox also reported that U.S. officials refused when the security team asked for U.S. warplanes to bomb their attackers, which

King syrup and mom's homemade biscuits for dinner. We five Marcus kids, of which I am the oldest, loved it. It never dawned on us that our great dinner was due to Mom and Dad being low on funds. When we moved out of the government projects in Baltimore City to our home in Pumphery, a black suburban community, it was like moving to Disney World. I was around ten years old. I met David and Charles, who taught me how to make a bow and arrows. Nobody's eye got poked out.

Majority harbor prejudice against blacks

Racial attitudes have not improved in the four years since the United States elected its first black president, an Associated Press poll finds, as a slight majority of Americans now express prejudice toward blacks whether they recognize those feelings or not. Those views could cost President Barack Obama votes as he tries for re-election, the survey found, though the effects are mitigated by some Americans' more favorable views of blacks. Racial prejudice has increased slightly since 2008 whether those feelings were measured using questions that explicitly asked respondents about racist attitudes,

Obama Said 'Trust Matters'?

The president’s rally in Cleveland, Ohio yesterday had a few interesting lines during his speech. From saying how Romney is mentally defective with "Romnesia" to showing how “trust” is a key issue in this race, one must ask – has the president forgotten about Benghazi? A foreign policy disaster that ended with the assassination of a U.S. Ambassador, the first time in thirty-three years, which some in the media has been reluctant to talk about. And yet, CNN ran the soundbite several times of Obama saying "trust matters" -- at the same time it's become clear

If you don’t get torches-and-pitchforks irate about this, you are not an American: The security officer had a laser on the target that was firing and repeatedly requested back-up support from a Specter gunship, which is commonly used by U.S. Special Operations forces to provide support to Special Operations teams on the ground involved in intense firefights. The fighting at the CIA annex went on for more than four hours — enough time for any planes based in Sigonella Air base, just 480 miles away, to arrive.

The Fourth Estate's Shame

The third and fourth stories on ABC News' web page, in relatively small print, relate to Benghazi and the president's shameful refusal to really answer questions about what happened there. The lead story, in large headline type and with a picture? "Sixth Sense: Mom Predicts Baby's Near-Fatal Illness" As if that weren't enough, in a more prominent position than the Benghazi stories, and with a large dramatic picture of a flaming cross is a story about "KKK Resurgence." How can these people live with themselves?

That’s why he and Glenn risked their lives to go that extra mile just to take care of the situation.

With inside two weeks until the presidential election and Mitt Romney's campaign awash in momentum, the left's accomplices in the mainstream media and in the ivory towers of academia have ramped up their efforts to mix race into the fray, trying to guilt whites into again voting for Obama or else make them feel as though they are racists. Take that bastion of news independence, CNN. During much of Thursday, the main story at CNN.com was titled, "Could Obama's Struggles With White Voters Cost Him The Election?"

As the news broke that Nevada Senator Harry Reid was in a car accident, a major paper in his home state, the Las Vegas Review Journal, mistakenly identified the Democratic Senate Majority Leader as a Republican. “U.S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, R-Nev., 72, was taken to the emergency room at University Medical Center in Las Vegas Friday afternoon following a traffic accident,” the story initially said. The error has since been corrected. Obviously, this was a fast breaking story and these types of mistakes happen. Unfortunately for those who report on breaking political news,

U.S. can’t produce $1 billion

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers cannot produce about $1 billion of receipts for fuel and other supplies it bought in Iraq using Iraqi money, a government investigation has found. The total amount of funds unaccounted for has now reached a staggering $7 billion, officials say -- and they warn that the Iraqi government is likely to demand at least some of that money back. The United States has been managing billions of dollars of Iraqi money through the U.N.-created Development Fund for Iraq (DFI) since 2003, money that was the result of Iraqi oil and gas sales

In my last post, I noted that the third presidential debate did not move the needle in terms of the popular vote. Before the debate, Romney led Obama by 5 points in the Gallup poll and 2 points in the Rasmussen poll. In the aftermath of the debate he leads by 5 in Gallup and 3 in Rasmussen. Of course the needle might move yet. There could be a surprise external event that affects perceptions of the candidates. Or one of the candidates might commit a serious gaffe. Or, conceivably,

Election Nightmare Scenarios:

For those old enough to have covered the 2000 election, close presidential races trigger flashbacks of late-night interviews with lawyers at the Florida Division of Elections and close readings of the 12th Amendment. The neck-and-neck 2012 race for the White House is unharnessing a stableful of nightmares. First, Nate Silver estimates the possibility of a decisive battleground state going to a recount at 10%. Most of the states that could tip the election have mandatory recounts if the winner’s margin is slim (typically, 0.5% or less). Recounts tend not to change a large percentage of the votes cast and counted,

Nothing to laugh about, Mr. President

In 2008, then-candidate Barack Obama’s campaign did something that campaigns have always strived to do, but can’t usually achieve: It found the pitch-perfect tone, offering the nation a promise of hope and change. Four years later, the Obama re-election campaign has not found similar success. With polls showing the President in trouble and slipping from his lead in most polls, and even trailing in some, what once was hope and change has now morphed into sarcasm and derision. Rather than challenge his opponent, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, on substance, the Obama camp has resorted to ridicule and arrogance,

Sandy -- dubbed "Frankenstorm" for its potential monstrous effects -- has millions bracing for a massive weather system likely to drench much of the Eastern seaboard by Monday. For the 50 million people who live in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast – roughly one-sixth of the U.S. population – the storm's winds, rains and potential snow could cause widespread havoc, with weather forecasters predicting up to 10 inches of rain in some regions, snowstorms in others and widespread wind damage that could down power lines. At least 43 deaths in Cuba, Jamaica and Haiti were already reported in Sandy's wake,

In a column for Bloomberg View I argue that, if Obama loses this election, it won't be for what many will say are the obvious reasons -- because the economy is weak and Obama's an African-American. It'll be because he ran as a failed progressive rather than a successful centrist. Almost to the exclusion of everything else, his campaign has emphasized the leftist priority of taxing the rich more heavily, the issue on which he's been constantly beaten back. To most people, I think, that goal seems desirable or inevitable,

The International Cycling Union, known as UCI, also called on Mr. Armstrong and other riders involved in what has been described by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency as "a massive team doping scheme," to return the prize money they received during their discredited triumphs. The UCI, following a meeting of its management committee in Switzerland said it also was setting up an independent commission to look into allegations made against it during the Armstrong affair.

In a case that tests the boundaries of copyright law, merchants and consumers say they have the right to resell what they own, but content creators argue they should be protected from shady deals that undercut retail prices.

CANTON, Ohio — A fired-up Mitt Romney delivered an economic address yesterday that accused President Obama of trying to “demonize” him — as the Obama campaign mocked Romney as being stuck in the 1950s. “President Obama promised to bring us together, but at every turn, he has sought to divide and demonize,” Romney said while laying out his economic plan in Iowa. Romney then slammed Obama for the “misguided policies” that slowed the recovery. Romney’s complaints come after Obama spent several days ridiculing the candidate for having “Romnesia” and forgetting his earlier positions. The move followed efforts

At a speech in Davenport, Iowa, on October 24, with 13 days left in the presidential election, Barack Obama introduced a new closing argument: “Trust matters,” Obama said. “There’s no more serious issue on a presidential campaign than trust.” We agree. It’s a good way—among the most important ways—to evaluate a leader. On October 18, five weeks after terrorists attacked the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, killing four Americans, President Obama told television host Jon Stewart that his administration had moved quickly to share all of the intelligence with the public. “Everything we get, every piece of information we get—

The chart below has been making the rounds over the past couple of days. It shows how many field offices each campaign has in the top ten swing states, and it's pretty stunning. Obama has twice as many offices as Romney in Virginia. Twice as many in Florida. Three times as many in Iowa. And more than three times as many in Ohio. What's going on? Our working assumption should be twofold: (a) the Romney campaign has plenty of money, and (b) they aren't idiots. So what's the deal? I've been meaning to mention something

If Barack Obama is reelected, will he face impeachment over Benghazi — a yet more unpleasant and far more wrenching result than to lose an election? It could happen — and in my estimation should happen — the way revelations are playing out over the bloody terror attack that took four American lives and has led to weeks of prevarication and obfuscation. The scandal thus far has at least tarnished and quite possibly implicated everyone from the CIA director, to the secretaries of State and Defense, to the UN ambassador

Another Florida newspaper went from an Obama endorsement in ’08 to a Romney endorsement in ’12. I’m skeptical as to how much such endorsements matter, but certainly the ones that are switches from 2008 in swing states are most interesting. Just seeing such changes of heart in print could validate the feelings of regular voters leaning that direction, but the tone the Orlando Sentinel and this paper have taken has been pretty devastating: 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

They fought for their lives for seven hours. 9/11/ 2012. Benghazi. The White House watched. No help was sent and they died. Four Americans died in the jihadi attack on our consulate in Benghazi. Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods, two retired SEALS who were working as civilian security specialists in Benghazi, learned that Ambassador Stevens and nine other people at the consulate were under attack and rushed to their defense. The fourth man was Sean Smith, father of three, an Air Force veteran, working for the State Department in Libya.
