If you have any lingering romantical notions about the big nothingburger of old n’ busted recyclables that is President Obama’s last-ditch effort at a “second-term agenda,” here’s another exercise in futility we can glean from its glossy depths — or, rather, its glossy shallows. If you flip through it, you’ll notice some lovely-looking assurances of the ways in which President Obama wants to wants to revive American manufacturing, (Snip) Only 38 percent of those who have completed training got jobs based on it, and only 16 percent kept jobs for at least six months — the key measure of success

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. Fox News has also learned that two separate Tier One Special operations forces were told to wait, among them Delta Force operators.

Just one day after President Obama went on television saying that politics had nothing to do with the now bankrupt Abound Solar receiving a taxpayer-backed loan guarantee from the Energy Department, emails have surfaced that contradict these claims and suggest White House involvement in the company receiving the loan. (Snip) However, emails obtained by completecolorado.com suggest that the White House was involved in the Energy Department awarding Abound Solar a $400 million loan gurantee, contradicting the President’s claim. The emails also suggest that the loan guarantee was political payback to Democratic benefactor Pat Stryker.

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. (Snip) In response to the report, CIA spokeswoman Jennifer Youngblood said the CIA ‘‘reacted quickly to aid our colleagues during that terrible evening in Benghazi.’’She added: ‘‘Moreover, no one at any level in the CIA told anybody not to help those in need; claims to the contrary are simply inaccurate.’’ President

Manchester, N.H. - I know you are but what am I. You're rubber, I'm glue. That's what the presidential campaigns have to say about each other in the final week and a half when it comes to the charge of negative campaigning. Mitt Romney's campaign says that's all there is to the President Obama's campaign--as Romney spokesman Ryan Williams characterized Obama's round of Friday interviews about the race, "filled with misleading statements and outright falsehoods." Obama campaign spokeswoman Jen Psaki is not impressed. "Facts are not their forte," she said, adding that Romney's major economy" speech delivered Friday in Ames,

Some say that campaign ads are getting just ridiculous. But now it’s taken a turn to the truly bizarre. An Indiana man has auctioned off space on the side of his head, where he tattooed Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign “R” logo in a 5-by-2-inch spot for a bid of $15, 000. Eric Hartsburg posted the eBay listing in August, and told ABC News that he was paid $15,000 by a Republican eBay user, who preferred to remain anonymous, to get the Romney logo permanently inked on the side of his head. Hartsburg, who is an Indiana native, told ABC News

New data compiled by the Republican side of the Senate Budget Committee shows that, last year, the United States spent over $60,000 to support welfare programs per each household that is in poverty. The calculations are based on data from the Census, the Office of Management and Budget, and the Congressional Research Services. "According to the Census’s American Community Survey, the number of households with incomes below the poverty line in 2011 was 16,807,795," the Senate Budget Committee notes.

Momentum: Romney Increases Lead

The CorruptMedia is desperate to keep Obama voters motivated to turn out through a phony Narrative that says Romney's momentum has stalled. Two of the most reliable pollsters in the country would beg to differ. Mirroring Gallup's results yesterday, today, in two different tracking polls, Rasmussen shows Romney pulling away. (Snip) Obviously, all eyes are now on Ohio -- THE Firewall. Like many, I'm troubled by the fact that the current Real Clear Politics poll of Ohio polls doesn't show a single one with Romney in the lead -- though he is tied in three.

Gallup: Romney Up 51%-46%

Breitbart's Big Government, by Ben Shapiro Original Article

Posted By: Photoonist- 10/27/2012 2:48:40 PM Post Reply

According to today’s Gallup tracking poll, Mitt Romney’s lead over incumbent President Barack Obama has stretched to a five point margin. Romney is now up among likely voters 51% to 46%. Yesterday, the tracking poll had Romney up by only three points, 50% to 47%. The lead is broadening. That’s no doubt due to President Obama’s insistence on going small with his campaign. From Big Bird to binders to bayonets to ads suggesting that voting for Obama is like losing your virginity, this campaign has minimized the issues the American people face. And it’s paying the price for it.

After discussing the nuts and bolts of Ohio and other battleground states with Sean Hannity on Friday night (interesting in its own right), at the conclusion of the interview, Barone is asked by Hannity which candidate he believes will win. “Mitt Romney,” he replies. Add that to Jim Geraghty’s comments that “Barring Some Sudden Change, Romney Will Win the Popular Vote,” and you have two prominent statistics-oriented conservative pundits who — at least as of Friday, October 26 — are willing to go on the record that they believe Romney will win in November.

President Obama advocated more political music on Friday in an interview with MTV. "I'd like to see a more explicit discussion of the issues that are out there right now, because music's such a powerful mechanism," he said, noting that there's not "as much directly political music" as there used to be. "Everything moves so fast today that you can set the world on fire in a positive way just in a message that goes through the internet," he said, noting that he used to have to "buy an album or a cartridge."

When President Obama flew to Chicago to cast his vote early in Chicago on Thursday, he became one of over eight million Americans to have already made their decision for the November election. And now with the election just ten days away, early results from those polls are giving both the president and Mitt Romney cause to claim victory - despite neither campaign having established a distinct advantage. In encouraging results, President Obama appears to be matching his 2008 presidential victory totals across the country, but Romney is exceeding Senator John McCain's efforts and appears to be

At the end of my visit to my town's brand-new supermarket the other day, the cashier said she would be more than happy to help me self-check-out my purchases. I said, "No, thank you, I would prefer that you do that." She said, "Actually, we prefer that the customers get into the habit of checking out their groceries." I said, "Actually, I would prefer to never get into that habit. I would prefer that you handle the entire operation. You are the cashier. You are the vicar of groceries.

The mother of CNBC executive Kevin Krim said that the young family treated their children’s nanny, Yoselyn Ortega, as they would one of their own.

The grieving grandmother added that the horrific murders of her grandchildren, six-year-old Lucia and two-year-old Leo last night, are taking a heavy toll on her family.

The U.S. Secret Service detected a security breach at the S.C. Department of Revenue on Oct. 10, but it took state officials 10 days to close the attacker’s access and another six days to inform the public that 3.6 million Social Security numbers had been compromised. The attack also exposed 387,000 credit and debit card numbers. The stolen data included other information people file with their tax returns such as names and addresses. Businesses’ taxpayer identification numbers also potentially have been comprised in the attack that is being described as one of the nation’s largest against a state agency.

It should come as no surprise that MSNBC's socially liberal anchors are biased in favor of gay marriage -- saying it's an issue of "marriage equality." But on Friday’s MSNBC Live, anchor Thomas Roberts dropped all pretext of being a neutral journalist by explicitly telling viewers how they should vote on the controversial issue. Speaking on Friday with Jennifer Chrisler, Executive Director of the Family Equality Council, openly gay host Thomas Roberts actually told his audience how to vote on ballot questions in the states of Maryland, Maine, Minnesota and Washington.

RICHMOND, Va.— Four years ago, there were doubts, then hope, then worry, work and elation. Today, as African American voters look at electing the first black president to a second term, there is support tinged with disappointment and defensiveness. There are worries about President Obama's support for gay marriage, worries about the economy and worries about life under a Mitt Romney administration. There are fewer thoughts about making historic strides and quieter worries about history slipping away. "Some people may see it as subdued, but I think the difference is there's more of a serious tone

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.

Earlier this week, conservative commentator Ann Coulter offered her explanation for using the word “retard” to describe President Barack Obama. And on Friday night’s broadcast of CNN’s “Piers Morgan Tonight,” in an appearance to promote her book “Mugged: Racial Demagoguery from the Seventies to Obama,” Coulter was pushed to reiterate that defense by host Piers Morgan. But Morgan segued into a commercial break by suggesting Coulter “calm down” after she began her response. MORGAN: Let’s take another break. Let you calm down a bit. COULTER: Oh, yes. I think you could move on to a better subject.
