Benghazi Reveals Obama-Islamist Alliance

American Thinker, by James Lewis Original Article

Posted By: ScarletPimpernel- 11/1/2012 7:02:53 AM Post Reply

The nature of the Benghazi disaster is now clear. Ambassador Stevens was engaged in smuggling sizable quantities of Libyan arms from the destroyed Gaddafi regime to the Syrian rebels, to help overthrow the Assad regime in Syria. [Snip] For the last four years, the Obama policy has been to offer aid and comfort violent Islamic radicals in the delusional belief that their loyalty can be bought.

Au Revoir, Mr. President

American Spectator, by R. Emmett Tyrrell Original Article

WASHINGTON -- Reviewing the last few months of this tumultuous presidential campaign, I see the debates as having a wondrous salience. The first was the most momentous since Nixon vs. Kennedy, though that 1960 confrontation was mostly a matter of cosmetics. Listening to it on radio, many in the audience came away thinking that the participant with the five-o'clock shadow had won. That would have been Richard Nixon. In debate this time around, Mitt Romney hammered Barack Obama mercilessly. Under the ongoing assault Obama's knees buckled and he repeatedly looked glassy-eyed.

To help storm victims,

Barry Porter doesn’t want you to take this the wrong way, but you can keep your canned corn, blankets and gently worn clothes.He wants your money.Or blood.Porter, regional executive director of the American Red Cross, told me Wednesday that, while the organization appreciates the donations of food, clothing and blankets, cash is better. "It’s easier to support the Red Cross with money,” he said, because money makes it easier for it to get what people need and to get what they need to them.

Benghazi Obama's Core Deceit

American Spectator, by Peter Ferrara Original Article

The basic, important facts about the Benghazi disgrace are in the public record now. American Ambassador Chris Stevens started requesting additional security as early as February. The Obama Administration not only refused additional security, it actually cut security, removing a well armed unit from the Libyan embassy in August. The Obama Administration should have known that the danger would increase on the anniversary of September 11. But it sent no additional security for that day either. The reasoning seemed to be that President Obama did not want to inflame Muslim sensibilities with a show of American force

Senate control teeters

WASHINGTON — Democrats appear poised to retain control of the Senate, but this year’s forecasts are full of more uncertainty than usual. A host of unknowns could affect the 10 or so races too close to call: Turnout. Ground game. Last-minute ads. Presidential coattails. Weather. Democrats now control 53 of the Senate’s 100 seats. Twenty-three of those Democratic seats are up for re-election, compared with just 10 in Republican hands. Republicans need a net gain of four seats for their first majority in six years, three if Mitt Romney wins, allowing a Vice President Paul Ryan to cast tie-breaking votes.

Towns in Sandy's path did
little to prepare for floods

USA Today, by Thomas Frank & Brad Heath Original Article

Many coastal cities and towns slammed by Hurricane Sandy have done little to protect themselves from flood damage, ignoring federal incentives even as they have been flooded repeatedly, a USA TODAY analysis of federal records shows. More than 100 municipalities in areas that were declared a federal emergency this week have received the worst ratings from Washington under a program that rewards communities for trying to minimize flood damage. Roughly 1,000 communities across the U.S. have won discounts of 10% or more for their property owners through the program.

Johnny Can't Lead

Something the Washington Post's Ezra Klein wrote yesterday reminded us of a song first recorded some time before young Ezra's birth. The tune is called "Johnny Can't Read," and it appeared on Don Henley's solo album "I Can't Stand Still." The lyrics describe a directionless young man, just having a good time ("Football, baseball, basketball games / Drinkin' beer, kickin' ass and takin' down names"). There are a lot of things Johnny is good at. He can dance, love, push, shove, hang out, talk tough, get down and throw up. There's just one problem: Johnny can't read.

Save General Motors From
Bankruptcy, Vote For Mitt Romney

Forbes, by Louis Woodhill Original Article

President Obama has been touting his bailout of General Motors as a reason for people in Michigan and Ohio to vote for him. However, there is one small problem with his argument. Regardless of the past, GM’s only hope for long-term survival nowis if Mitt Romney wins on November 6. If Obama is reelected, GM is doomed to a second bankruptcy (or to another taxpayer bailout). This is because Obama is committed to doubling down on the two policies that drove GM bankrupt in the first place: a weak, unstable dollar,

WHO Wants You—to Stop Smoking

The World Health Organization (WHO) is facing criticism for its cigarette and tobacco control proposals at an upcoming November conference. WHO is considering an excise tax of up to 70 percent on cigarettes as well as new restrictions on electronic cigarettes that do not contain tobacco. As previously reported by the Free Beacon, the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control indicated it might put a cigarette tax on the table at its November 12-17 conference in Seoul, Korea. WHO says the taxes could raise more than $5 billion in funds for world health efforts.

Category 5 Media Bias
On Display In Wake Of Sandy

Bias: At an event for Hurricane Sandy victims, reporters pummel Mitt Romney to answer questions about FEMA. This is the same press corps that refuses to ask President Obama a single tough question about Benghazi. Clearly worried about a Romney victory next week, the mainstream press apparently thinks it's found the "October surprise" — Romney's alleged vulnerability on FEMA because of an answer he'd given to a debate question more than a year ago. Here's how a pool reporter described the scene in Ohio, where Romney organized a Sandy relief effort:

Obama Just Does Not
Like People Very Much

American Thinker, by Ed Lasky Original Article

Posted By: DW626- 11/1/2012 5:39:43 AM Post Reply

Many Americans find repellent a president who condescends to them, patronizes them, scolds and berates them. Such a president does not show that he cares about them. Despite hagiographic media coverage in the 2008 campaign and beyond, Barack Obama is being perceived as such a man by a large number of Americans. When candidate Barack Obama spoke about "the bitter clingers" (or dismissed farmers' concerns about their livelihood by suggesting that they grow arugula -- a modern-day "let them eat cake"), these were not mere gaffes.

Joe's Very Weird Uncle Day

Weird Uncle Joe Biden showed up to campaign for Barack Obama in Florida today, and man, was he on top of his weird uncle game. "I'm being a good Biden today," he said. How good? Well first, it being Florida and really sunny, Uncle Joe wore his signature aviators to speak at rallies—a perfect look for a Biden-licious day. He also talked about running for office...four years from now. At an unscheduled stop in Sarasota at old-timey restaurant Station 400, Uncle Joe was feeling good, hugging "aging groupies," as Los Angeles Times' Michael A. Memoli observed.

Massive flooding caused by Sandy’s wrath has led to widespread power outages and home damage. But also caught in the fray were animals--both domestic and in zoos and aquariums--left to weather the vicious storm on their own. Now that the danger has passed, hundreds of pet owners are taking to social media so they can be reunited with their beloved pets. Though it is unclear of the scope and breadth of it, Facebook page ‘Hurricane Sandy Lost and Found Pets’ already has more than 6,000 likes.

Sandy's a disaster, not
a political opportunity

Rahm Emanuel gets credit for saying, in 2008, during the midst of the financial collapse, “You never let a serious crisis go to waste. And what I mean by that it's an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before.” But way back in 1996, it was President Clinton’s FEMA administrator, James Lee Witt, who put it best when he said, “Disasters are very political events.” Unlike Emanuel, Witt – who was testifying before Congress on corruption in government disaster management -- was lamenting the fact that crises are politicized, not celebrating it.

The Day After

For the small school of political analysis that draws its inspiration from the great French 17th-century philosopher René Descartes, the cardinal methodological rule is to begin from what one can know “so clearly and distinctly as to exclude all ground of doubt.” The only important fact about the election contest today that meets this stringent threshold is that someone named either Barack Obama or Mitt Romney will be declared president, most likely on November 7.Beginning from this point of certainty, Cartesians are already at work surveying the possible alternative post-November 7 political landscapes. “I prognosticate. Therefore I am.”

The warnings came, again and again. For nearly a decade, scientists have told city and state officials that New York faces certain peril: rising sea levels, more frequent flooding and extreme weather patterns. The alarm bells grew louder after Tropical Storm Irene last year, when the city shut down its subway system and water rushed into the Rockaways and Lower Manhattan. On Tuesday, as New Yorkers woke up to submerged neighborhoods and water-soaked electrical equipment, officials took their first tentative steps toward considering major infrastructure changes that could protect the city’s fragile shores

Mitt Romney should have donated $10 million to the Red Cross instead of 'taking advantage of a tragedy', the Ohio Democratic Party chairman has said. 'I think Governor Romney ought to be focused on things he could do and say on behalf of the victims, rather than going to Dayton Ohio--the most important swing state in the country--and taking advantage of a tragedy,' said Chris Redfern according to the Washington Post. 'Look, I’m a partisan. I’ll let others judge this. But I think someone of Governor Romney’s wealth could have just written a check for $10 million

Larry Ward will concede that he “poked the bear.” As president of the D.C.-based Political Media Inc., Ward administers the Facebook page of a group called Special Operations Speaks (SOS), an anti-Obama group consisting of “veterans, legatees, and supporters of the Special Operations communities of all the Armed Forces.” Essentially hard guys who want the president out of office. “These are the toughest sons of a guns out there and they say what they mean,” says Ward. On Saturday, Ward woke up and realized he needed to post something on SOS’s page.

Benghazi, American Honor,

“A coward dies a thousand deaths,” to paraphrase Shakespeare in Julius Caesar, “but a hero dies just one.” As we hopefully approach the end of the Barack Hussein Obama II administration, cowardice is just one of the many possible explanations of its catastrophic failure at Benghazi last month, a failure that cost the lives of four Americans, the loss of valuable intelligence assets, the burning of countless Libyan collaborators, whose lives are now forfeit in that wretched land and elsewhere, and the needless handing to the ascendant jihadists of a propaganda victory that might have been avoided

Have I just broken the record for the shortest and most successful election campaign in the history of politics? Well that’s one way of looking at my incredibly brief walk-on role in the Corby by-election. A month ago I announced that I was standing--as the anti-wind farm candidate. And now I’m announcing my withdrawal. Why? Because as far as I’m concerned, my battle to save the British countryside from one of the ugliest and most pointless outbreaks of vandalism in our history has now been all but won. The good news came yesterday in the form of

Despite the Great Recession, Obama’s

The middle class, we’re frequently told, decides elections. But the 2012 race has in many ways been a contest between two elites, with the plutocratic corporate class lining up behind Mitt Romney to try and reclaim its position on top of the pile from an ascendant new group—made up of the leaders of social and traditional media, the upper bureaucracy and the academy—that’s bet big on Barack Obama. As recently as 2008, the Wall Street plutocrats were divided, as Obama deftly managed to run as both the candidate of hope and change and the candidate of the banks.

A federal agency created to restore confidence in the election process in the wake of Bush v. Gore sits all but leaderless as the country approaches Election Day. As local election officials scramble to sort out last-minute issues — Palm Beach County, Fla., for example, recently hired dozens of workers to hand copy about 27,000 misprinted absentee ballots — the U.S. Election Assistance Commission operates, on its 10th anniversary, as a shell of what Congress designed it to be. Its four commissioner spots are vacant. The executive director resigned last year.

ANDOVER, Minn. — By all the standard metrics, Rep. Michele Bachmann should be coasting to victory. Her name ID is off the charts. She has bundles of cash. And her newly redrawn suburban Twin Cities district has an 8-point Republican registration edge. Of course, Bachmann is anything but your standard politician. And after spending much of her current House term running for president and lobbing partisan rhetorical bombs, the tea party hero suddenly has a fight on her hands. Hotel company executive Jim Graves, her Democratic opponent, has spent more than $500,000 of his own money trying to unseat the three-term congresswoman.

Janesville, Wisconsin - Even in an election year, Republican vice presidential hopeful Paul Ryan stuck to a family trick-or-treat tradition. On Wednesday, Mitt Romney's running mate held three rallies in his home state before he and wife, Janna, returned to Janesville to spend Halloween with their three children. “We will go trick-or-treating on the same route we go every year, which is the same route I went on when I was a little guy," Ryan said earlier in Racine. Ryan's 10-year-old daughter, Liza, donned a blue wig and dressed up as a tamer version of pop singer Katy Perry,

A shot of optimism after a day of eeyorish state polls. How does Rove arrive at this result when eight of the last nine Ohio surveys have O ahead? In two steps: (1) He clearly trusts the national data over the state data, and (2) he cites historical numbers showing that incumbents recently have tended to overperform their national polling on election day by only one percent or so. Obama’s tied with Romney in the RCP national average tonight at 47.4. If, per the historical data, O’s ceiling is therefore at 48 percent, then it follows that most everyone else
