Napolitano said a total of roughly 200,000 people have applied since the agency began accepting applications two months ago. She made the announcement Wednesday to a panel of educators from across the country who serve on the Homeland Security Academic Advisory Council, as reported by The Hill newspaper. The agency began accepting applications after President Obama in June made the policy change --

President Obama found time to joke about his birth certificate as he visited the swing state of New Hampshire on Saturday. In between slamming Mitt Romney for upping taxes and fees in neighboring Massachusetts, the President joked that his rival was to blame for the scandal about his birth certificate. 'He raised fees to get a birth certificate which would have been expensive for me,' said the president to laughter and cheers. It was a veiled reference to so-called 'birthers' who doubt he was born in America and question the authenticity of his Hawaiian birth certificate.

(ABOARD AIR FORCE ONE) President Barack Obama will continue to push for middle-class tax cuts as part of his economic agenda, but the White House is not considering a specific new tax cut plan at this time, a spokesman for Obama said on Saturday. "Moving forward, the president does believe that cutting taxes for middle class families is an important part of his economic agenda. It is something he'll continue to push for," White House spokesman Josh Earnest told reporters. He denied a Washington Post report that said the Obama administration is considering a tax cut

Jay Leno had a great idea Friday night for an inexpensive Halloween costume. Early in his Tonight Show monologue on NBC, the host said, “Wear a re-elect Obama button and go out as a journalist” (video follows with commentary): It really is saying something when the media are so in the tank for an incumbent president's reelection that late night hosts are making jokes about it. So-called "journalists" around the country must be so proud of themselves.

Des Moines Register

Iowa's largest and most important newspaper backs Mitt Romney over President Obama — the first time they have endorsed a Republican since 1972: The president’s best efforts to resuscitate the stumbling economy have fallen short. Nothing indicates it would change with a second term in the White House. The president’s prescription upon entering office was a dose of government stimulus, which was the right call because it put cash in the pockets of consumers, made investments in vital infrastructure and kept millions of teachers and police officers on the job. That stimulus was necessary

President Barack Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney campaigned feverishly in closely contested battleground states on Saturday but changed travel plans to avoid Hurricane Sandy, the massive storm approaching the U.S. East Coast. With just 10 days before Election Day and polls showing the national race a dead heat, Romney was holding three rallies in Florida, whose 29 electoral votes are the biggest prize among states considered too close to call. He told supporters that Obama was focusing his campaign on small things, and swore he would win the election, to chants of

A reader, relying on publicly available information, has reconstructed what we know and can infer about what happened in Benghazi. I haven’t tried to verify all of his facts nor do I necessarily vouch for his inferences, although in general they seem reasonable. But his analysis is, I think, a valuable contribution to our understanding, and I reproduce it here in slightly edited form: This last week may have finally broken the protective wall around the POTUS. Between the comments of Hillary Clinton, Gen. Petraeus, Defense Secretary Panetta and the FOX News report, the picture of what really transpired

President Barack Obama took heat this week for calling his Republican opponent, Mitt Romney, a "bullsh***ter" while speaking with a writer from Rolling Stone magazine, but the president on Friday said he didn't use the comment until the interview had finished. "You know, this was a conversation after an interview, a casual conversation with a reporter," Obama told a reporter with KUSA, a local CNN affiliate based in Denver. Douglas Brinkley, who penned the article, wrote that while he and the magazine's executive editor, Eric Bates, were at the White House for the interview,

NEW YORK — Aspirin, one of the world’s oldest and cheapest drugs, has shown remarkable promise in treating colon cancer in people with mutations in a gene that is thought to play a role in the disease. Among patients with the mutations, those who regularly took aspirin lived longer than those who didn’t, a major study found. Five years after their cancers were diagnosed, 97 percent of the aspirin users were still alive versus 74 percent of those not taking the drug. Aspirin seemed to make no difference

Lights are being turned off on motorways and major roads, in town centres and residential streets, and on footpaths and cycle ways, as councils try to save money on energy bills and meet carbon emission targets. The switch-off begins as early as 9pm. They are making the move despite concerns from safety campaigners and the police that it would lead to an increase in road accidents and crime. The full extent of the blackout can be disclosed following an investigation by The Sunday Telegraph--which comes on the day that clocks moved back an hour, making it dark earlier

The U.N. Human Rights Council (HRC) is calling for a boycott of U.S. companies that do business with Israel. Dominated by countries like Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Jordan, and Libya, the HRC is known to be hostile toward Israel. For this reason, the Bush Administration refused to take part in the HRC, yet the Obama administration has fully participated. The HRC is calling for "legal and economic warfare" on Caterpillar, Motorola, and Hewlett-Packard, because these companies refuse to quit doing business with Israel. Companies in Europe targeted for boycott include Volvo, the Dexia Group,

Why did Obama choose to
“stand down” in Benghazi?

As John and Scott point out, the CIA has issued a statement making it clear that “no one at any level in the CIA told anybody not to help those in need [in Benghazi]; claims to the contrary are simply inaccurate.” That statement surely was issued with the approval, and presumably at the direction, of the CIA’s director, General Petraeus. Who, then, made the several decisions denying help to the Americans in Benghazi who needed it? Who, initially, told CIA to “stand down” in face of the attack? Who decided that American defense forces an hour or two away

Washington - They campaign in near anonymity, these third-party contenders who stand no shot at the presidency. Their supporters are castigated for wasting their votes. But don’t write them off just yet. In hotly contested swing states, their presence on the ballot may alter the course of the election. In Virginia, where Mitt Romney and President Obama are running neck and neck, former Republican congressman Virgil Goode’s crusade for the Oval Office could draw conservatives and tip the state away from Romney.

The Tea Party favorite and former presidential candidate has over the years warded off a succession of well-funded challengers with a combination of hard work and huge fundraising hauls.

Has General Carter F. Ham, commander of U.S. Africa Command, been fired for defying Leon Panetta on Benghazi? Glenn Reynolds, the Instapundit, ran a piece Saturday afternoon titled "Interesting Rumor Concerning General Carter Ham and Stand Down Order." This piece is presented as a rumor. It suggests that General Ham was told to stand down from sending aid to Benghazi, that General Ham on his own decided to proceed, and that he was then relieved of his command. Remember, all rumor at this point. On 18 October 2012, Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta participated

Reports indicate two drones and an AC-130 gunship were in the area when Benghazi was attacked, yet their resources were not used. This runs completely against the current explanation coming out of the White House, which is that Obama did everything he could once he learned of the attack. You'll remember that in the second presidential debate, Obama said that as "soon as I was aware the Benghazi consulate was being overrun, I was on the phone with my national security team." The not-so-subtle intimation is that Obama was stepping up to the protect the U.S. personnel who were in Libya.
