Botching the Debates

Weekly Standard, by Fred Barnes Original Article

Posted By: MissMolly- 10/27/2012 12:28:13 PM Post Reply

Joe Biden was forewarned. When he did a walk-through at the site of his debate with Paul Ryan, he asked if there might be double screens when the debate was broadcast. Yes, indeed, he was told, though it would be up to each TV network and cable channel whether to show both candidates at once on a split screen. Biden may have ignored how he might appear on one screen while Ryan was speaking on the other. Or he may have purposely run the gamut of disdain from mockery to disgust as he listened to Ryan.

Steven Crowder Wrecks Lena Dunham

By now you've probably all seen or at least heard about the Obama campaign's recent bizarre, creepy (as National Review described it) ad comparing a girl's voting for Barack Obama to losing her virginity. Now the always funny Steven Crowder has a response:

Axelrod: Trajectory of Race 'Settled'

Breitbart's Big Government, by Ben Shapiro Original Article

Today, David Axelrod announced that the election issues were set. “In my view we have got the lead and the ball and now it is a matter of executing the final ten days of the campaign,” he told the Obama-lackey Huffington Post. He continued: Governor Romney profited from that first debate primarily by recouping those voters who he had lost in his dismal month of September when they had such an uninspired convention and when the 47 percent tape came out. But that is all that happened. We've had two debates since. I haven't seen -- in the

Mainstream media watchdogs
are toothless covering Obama
and Libya scandal

Fox News, by Richard Benedetto Original Article

Posted By: KarenJ1- 10/27/2012 12:13:14 PM Post Reply

When Mitt Romney chose not to directly engage President Obama on Libya in last Monday’s third presidential debate, the mainstream media wrote it off as over-caution on the Republican challenger’s part. That might be true. Certainly a lot of Republicans think so. But what is the mainstream media’s excuse for cautiously engaging the president on Libya? Aren’t we supposed to be watchdogs? The ongoing story is story focused on whether the Obama administration provided, or refused to provide, adequate protection for the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya when it faced the threat of attack

Racial prejudice has increased

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 favourable views of blacks. Racial prejudice has increased slightly since 2008 whether those feelings were measured using questions that explicitly asked respondents about racist attitudes, or through an experimental test

'Obama's not as good as he

NBA Commissioner David Stern has seen his fair share of impressive court moves throughout his tenure as head of the U.S. basketball league and he has ruled that President Barack Obama just doesn't have game. Despite his loyal Democratic ties, Stern wouldn't stoop so low to compliment Obama on his court performance, saying the Commander-in-Chief has an inflated sense of his ability in an interview released on Friday. But Stern did have some praise for the president, saying Obama's enthusiasm has done some good for the sport. Robert Wolf, a financier and a personal friend of President Obama,

'My party is full of racists':

Colin Powell's former chief of staff publicly blasted the Republican Party and one of Mitt Romney’s top aide as racists over a controversial comment regarding Powell’s endorsement of President Obama. Appearing on Ed Schultz's MSNBC show Friday, retired Army Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson said, 'My party is full of racists' in response to John Sununu's remark that the only reason Powell, a Republican who served as secretary of state under George W. Bush, backed the Democratic incumbent is because both men are black. Wilkerson told Schultz that he respected Sununu 'as a Republican,'

Marvellous Mitt

Six months ago, in an editorial titled “President Romney,” I speculated that Mitt Romney—then behind in the polls—could prevail this fall: “If Romney can speak to Americans’ sense that it’s a big moment, with big challenges, and if he can make this a big election rather than a petty one, then he can win—perhaps big.” I continued: “Romney needs, over the next six months, to convince some number of swing voters he can and should be the next president. The easiest way to do this is by . . . behaving like a president. If you want to seem presidential,

Navy replaces admiral

Washington - The Navy said Saturday it is replacing the admiral in command of an aircraft carrier strike group in the Middle East, pending the outcome of an internal investigation into undisclosed allegations of inappropriate judgment. Rear Adm. Charles M. Gaouette is being sent back to the USS John C. Stennis' home port at Bremerton, Wash., in what the Navy called a temporary reassignment. The Navy said he is not formally relieved of his command of the Stennis strike group but will be replaced by Rear Adm. Troy M. Shoemaker, who will assume command until the investigation

Muslim Pilgrims Stone
Devil in Symbolic Hajj Rite

Millions of pilgrims in Saudi Arabia on Friday furiously cast pebbles in a symbolic stoning of the devil, carrying out a final rite of hajj, as Muslims around the world celebrated the start of Islam's biggest holiday, the Feast of Sacrifice. After stoning three walls symbolizing Satan in a rejection of sin and temptation, male pilgrims changed out of the seamless terrycloth robes of pilgrimage and shaved their heads, as a sign of renewal. Women — and those men who prefer not to undergo a complete shave — had a lock of hair clipped.

Is Voter Fraud Being Committed in Ohio?

Columbus, Ohio — Two volunteer poll workers at an Ohio voting station told Human Events that they observed van loads of Ohio residents born in Somalia — the state is home to the second-largest Somali population in the United States — being driven to the voting station and guided by Democratic interpreters on the voting process. No Republican interpreters were present, according to these volunteers. While it’s not unusual for get-out-the-vote groups to help voters get to the polls, the volunteers who talked to Human Events observed a number of troubling and questionable activities.

International election observers planning to visit Texas polling places have “full immunity” from being arrested in the United States, the State Department said when discussing a letter from the Texas Attorney General. “I’m not going to get into any kind of hypothetical situations or predict where this is going to go other than to say we have every expectation that this will be worked out and to state the fact, which is that under U.S. law they are eligible for immunities,” said State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland.

Obama's Crass Campaign Ad

Election '12: What kind of a campaign uses crude sexual double entendres to pitch for young women's vote? A desperate one, of course, and that's the Obama campaign. Its new ad shows contempt for young voters. Lena Dunham, creator of the HBO hit show "Girls," stars in an official campaign ad, attempting, as the vaunted voice of her generation, to win votes for President Obama from young women. "Your first time shouldn't be with just anybody. You want to do it with a great guy ... someone who really cares about and understands women," the tattoo-festooned hipster coos,

Taxpayer-backed solar firm

questions over defective panels

Another solar company that received taxpayer support before going bankrupt is facing tough questions from Congress and a criminal investigation -- following in the footsteps of solar-panel firm Solyndra. The company facing scrutiny is Abound Solar, based in Longmont, Colo. Colorado's Weld County has launched a securities fraud investigation following allegations that Abound may have misled investors and a bank before securing funds. "Our goal is if crimes were committed to make sure individuals are held accountable," said Weld County District Attorney Ken Buck. It's a stunning turnaround for a company that appeared to be on a roll.

Supreme Court is the
biggest issue in this election

Ezra Klein argues that the 2012 presidential election is more important than most because it will decide the fate of the Affordable Care Act — and more broadly, the future of health care in the United States. He’s certainly correct that the future of the ACA is at stake, although if Democrats wind up holding even in the Senate or even gaining a bit, then some sort of deal is still very possible. But as important as that is, I don’t think it’s the No. 1 thing at stake. That thing is the Supreme Court. It’s likely that the next president will replace at least one justice.

On Jimmy Kimmel Live last night, First Lady Michelle Obama was asked if she would be “bummed” if her husband lost the election. “Is there any part of you that wouldn’t be so bummed, if you didn’t win this time around?” Kimmel asked. “Absolutely not...no, no no.” “This is about our kids and our future,” the First Lady said, noting that the president’s job was much harder. “Even when Barack talked about entering the politics, period, I was very hesitant for the very same reasons, your life isn’t your own, how do you raise your kids.”

If you’ve been following the story of the terror attacks in Benghazi and their scandalous fallout here at home, there’s a good chance you’ve been reading Eli Lake’s coverage at The Daily Beast. Lake, the Beast’s 40-year-old senior national-security correspondent, has been the indispensable reporter on the case. Lake was the first to report on the unraveling of the administration’s narrative, which centered on a “spontaneous” eruption of violence elicited by a YouTube video, when intelligence sources suggested extremists had monitored the compound before the attack.

Al-Qaida Leader Urges
Kidnapping of Westerners

The leader of al-Qaida has urged Muslims to kidnap Westerners to exchange for imprisoned jihadists, including a blind cleric serving a life sentence in the United States for a 1993 plot to blow up New York City landmarks. In an undated two-hour videotape posted this week on militant forums, the Egyptian-born jihadist Ayman al-Zawahri also urged support for Syria's uprising and called for the implementation of Islamic Shariah law in Egypt. He said that abducting nationals of "countries waging wars on Muslims" is the only way to free "our captives, and Sheik Omar Abdel-Rahman," the Egyptian cleric.

The new documentary Hating Breitbart is simultaneously euphoric and painful.For the many fans of Andrew Breitbart who miss him terribly, director Andrew Marcus’s new film offers what we’ve craved since his sudden death March 1: another 85 minutes in his frenetic presence — the jolly laughter, the furious denunciations of corruption and collusion, the over-caffeinated top-speed-at-all-times energy that drove the man during his all-too-brief time in the spotlight. Marcus started working on the film two years ago, with his subject’s full cooperation. And Breitbart got to see the rough cut before he died.

President Obama's weekly remarks: Hi, everybody. It’s now been four years since a crisis that began on Wall Street spread to Main Street, hammering middle-class families and ultimately costing our economy 9 million jobs. Since then, we’ve fought our way back. Our businesses have added more than 5 million new jobs. The unemployment rate has fallen to the lowest level since I took office. Home values are rising again. And our assembly lines are humming once more. And to make sure America never goes through a crisis like that again, we passed tough new Wall Street reform to end taxpayer-funded

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — A Gaza health official says a panicking cow killed a Palestinian man who was trying slaughter the beast during the Muslim celebration of Eid al-Adha. Muslims around the world slaughter sheep, cows and goats during the four-day holiday that began Friday to commemorate the sacrifice by their forefather Abraham. But accidents are common as people frequently buy animals to slaughter at home instead of relying on professional butchers. Official Ashraf al-Kidra said Saturday that 150 other people were hospitalized in the Gaza Strip with knife wounds or other injuries

Obama as father figure

As we careen towards the finish line in this tumultuous electoral season, President Obama is asking voters to renew his contract as a father figure. And with his new, 11th-hour message that this election is all about “trust,” I think the father-thing is going to resonate. Without going all Carl Jung on you, presidential campaigns are often about archetypes. John McCain as warrior. Paul Ryan as super-hero. Joe Biden as the loyal friend. In 2008, with the whole “hope and change” narrative – not to mention his youthful good looks and energy –

California poll shows
Obama with smaller lead

Los Angeles Times, by Seema Mehta Original Article

Even in vividly blue California, President Obama's luster has faded since his historic victory here in 2008, a new poll has found. Despite his sizable lead over Mitt Romney, the president is unlikely to repeat his historic 2008 margin of victory here because of his diminished power to pull in people who don't traditionally support Democrats, according to the USC Dornsife/Los Angeles Times poll. The drop in appeal across party and demographic lines has translated, at this point, to a 14-point edge over the Republican nominee among likely voters — well below Obama's 24-point victory in 2008

At this point in an election cycle, many campaign staffers are busy fighting the press on what they call “process stories.” The candidates and their staffs want to talk about their plans and policies while reporters covering them find their audiences demand a play-by-play of the horse race. The result is constant overstuffing of campaign metrics and polling that only serve to muddy the waters for most political observers. In a close race, such as we have today, there is often plenty of data for both sides to use to their favor. One poll says this, another says that.
