Why Wall Street is
starving Obama of funds

The Independent (UK), by Nikhil Kumar Original Article

Posted By: Scottyboy- 10/29/2012 8:29:33 PM Post Reply

Money talks, goes the old cliche, and seldom does it boom more loudly than during the quadrennial battle for the White House.(snip)But four years on, riled by what many of them see as excess regulation and banker-bashing rhetoric from the President, Wall Street types have changed their minds and they are voting with their bank accounts. With less than a week to go until the ballots are cast, donations from the securities and investment sector have netted over $19m (£12m) for Mr Obama's Republican rival, Mitt Romney, who has said he would "repeal ... and replace" the Dodd-Frank

Officials frantically tried to reach hundreds of residents trapped in Atlantic City on Monday but as Sandy is set to make land, the stranded locals will now have to stay put and hope for the best. Rising tides put much of the town under water as the city braced for the impact but New Jersey Governor Chris Christie blamed the city's mayor Lorenzo Langford for not taking precautions and forcing residents to move inland. Emergency personnel spent much of the day trying to reach as many as 500 locals, who were trapped on the barrier island,

President Obama has been hitting hard on the ostensible success of his taxpayer-funded bailouts of General Motors and Chrysler in any way he can, touting the supposedly approaching comeback of American manufacturing due to his skillful “I bet on American workers” policies and bloviating about how that cold-hearted Mitt Romney would’ve simply let the American auto industry eat cake, or something. It’s been a big campaign theme in the all-important dead-heat battleground state of Ohio, and over the weekend, Team Romney hit back with this new television ad: Last week, the news that Chrysler and its Italian parent Fiat are

First Lady Michelle Obama said Friday that her husband, President Barack Obama, was not “pointing fingers” and blaming anyone for the economic crisis happening when he took office. But one day before, on Thursday, Obama blamed the policies of “the previous president” for the ongoing weak economy. Appearing at a Las Vegas campaign stop on Friday, Mrs. Obama said that the president did not blame anyone else for the economic crisis he inherited. “He inherited an economy in rapid decline,” she said. “But instead of pointing fingers, instead of placing blame,

In light of President Obama's statement in an Oct. 26 interview that the "minute" he found out about the attack on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya, on Sept. 11 he issued a directive to subordinates "to make sure we are securing our personnel," House Armed Services Chairman Buck McKeon (R-Calif.) has sent a letter to Obama demanding that he reveal exactly whom he ordered to do what on that day. “Although this response did not specifically answer the reporter’s question, your first directive would appear to involve potential actions by the U.S. military,” McKeon said in

According to the latest Rasmussen state polls, Mitt Romney is in position to win the presidency; he should win at least 279 electoral votes. Romney leads in Florida, Ohio, Virginia, Colorado, and New Hampshire; Obama leads in Nevada. Wisconsin and Iowa are tied. Were Romney to win both Wisconsin and Iowa, he’d secure another 16 electoral votes, putting him at 295 electoral votes. By way of contrast, George W. Bush won 286 electoral votes in 2004. This is the first time that Rasmussen polls have shown Romney winning enough electoral votes to win the presidency. Rasmussen hasn't moved any of

After his meteoric ascent to the top of the American political arena in the country’s history, we are now in the midst of witnessing one of the most stunning collapses of any man ever to hold the office of President of the United States. Over the past few weeks we have begun to see the ultimate unraveling of support for the president, with women and youth fleeing from his side. But what is even more surprising and perhaps unimaginable to the president and his faithful media cult is that he is now also losing members of his

National Review's Jonah Goldberg took a comedic shot at President Obama Monday. Appearing on Fox News's Special Report, Goldberg jokingly said, "It’s huge progress that he didn’t blame this hurricane on a video." Early in the panel discussion, Goldberg said, “I think Charles is a little too hard on Obama. Frankly, it’s huge progress that he didn’t blame this hurricane on a video. And that alone is big step forward for the guy.” This evoked laughter from fellow panelist Kirsten Powers and a comment from syndicated columnist Charles Krauthammer who said, “Or on George Bush.”

There are all kinds of reputable pollsters whose results never seem to get anyone at the corrupt Politico excited enough to launch a headline -- this includes Scott Rasmussen. But man alive, the corrupt Politico sure does love them some left-wing pollsters, especially PPP, which is associated with the Daily Kos and SEIU. You would think that would be bad enough, but the corrupt Politico just hit a new low by disguising as serious news an affirmation of strategically leaked internal polling from the pro-Obama Super PAC Priorities USA.

Today's personal income report may not get much attention for a lot of reasons. If a piece of government data falls in a forest and nobody's around because they're bracing for Hurricane Sandy, does it make a sound? But investors and consumers should not completely ignore the latest figures for September on consumer spending and saving. Personal expenditures rose 0.8% last month, well ahead of the 0.4% increase in personal income. As a result, the saving rate fell to 3.3% from 3.7% in August. This is the third consecutive month of declines in the savings rate. As recently as June,

On Saturday, NewsBusters asked if it would be fascinating if Barack Obama's interview with MSNBC's Morning Joe ended up being an easier one than he recently got with the ladies of ABC's The View. We got our answer Monday, and in the end, co-hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski asked absolutely nothing of the President that could be perceived as a hardball (video follows with transcribed highlights and commentary).

The presidential campaign has featured plenty of talk about terrorism in the Middle East, but one lawmaker is warning that the federal government is ignoring a growing Hezbollah presence in Mexico, with the Lebanese terror group increasingly joining forces with drug cartels. One report shows hundreds of thousands of Middle Easterners living in Mexico, and a small percentage of them may be radicals using routes established by drug networks to sneak into the U.S. (Snip) "I don't have a lot of faith in the Department of Homeland Security," said Myrick.

Erie, Pa. - The Republican campaign bus roared into the party headquarters parking lot in the northwestern Pennsylvania town of Erie on a chilly afternoon for a rally that had all the trappings of a close contest. Hundreds of people wearing Romney-Ryan buttons and hats, plus one man carrying a “NObama” sign, crammed inside the headquarters and cheered loudly as party officials blasted President Barack Obama. Volunteers manned telephone banks imploring people to vote. Why the Republican hubbub in a state that’s voted Democratic in presidential elections for two decades? They think it might be in play.

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. - Gov. Chris Christie says some people are stranded in Atlantic City and he's blaming the mayor. Christie says Mayor Lorenzo Langford erred by allowing people to shelter on the barrier island rather than moving them inland. "So I asked these people to leave, for some reason, the mayor, in his initial conversation with the public, told him he didn't want his people leaving Atlantic City, so you have people staying," Christie said.

Back in August, an enormous floating mass of pumice was spotted in the South Pacific Ocean off the coast of New Zealand. New evidence of changes on the seafloor confirms an erupting undersea volcano created the sprawling rock raft. New Zealand scientists aboard the research vessel Tangaroa recently mapped the underwater volcano, Havre Seamount, which erupted on July 19 and was thought to have sent pumice rocks floating over a stretch of ocean 8,500 square miles.

Mayor Rahm Emanuel spent the weekend campaigning in Ohio for President Obama – but you won’t get the mayor’s press team or the Obama press team to say just where he spent his time, whom he met with and what he had to say. We've asked. A Google search reveals a cookie crumb trail of events for the Chicago mayor in Ohio this weekend. Emanuel visited suburban Cleveland, Youngstown and Toledo during a trip through the Rust Belt swing state currently acting as Obama's firewall. He may have been among the final campaigners.
