Obama's Libya Fail Brings
More Conflict

American Thinker, by A.M. Mora y Leon Original Article

Posted By: PageTurner- 11/1/2012 10:48:14 AM Post Reply

Right under the radar of news of Hurricane Sandy and the election itself, Hillary Clinton is in Algiers, trying to coax Algeria into a planned military action in Mali to hose out al Qaida's latest nest. The terrorists have taken over another country in Mali -- as they did with other failed states in Somalia and Afghanistan, but this one was probably preventable. Had the US not intervened as it did in Libya, leading from behind without much plan or intelligence, it's likely that the weapons from Gadhafi's arsensals

Pew: Yup, Romney's Leading
in Early Voting

Townhall, by Guy Benson Original Article

Welcome to November. Earlier in the week, one of the oldest and most respected polling firms in America -- Gallup -- produced results based on thousands of voter contacts indicating that Mitt Romney is leading in national early voting by roughly six percentage points. (snip) Currently, Romney holds a seven-point edge among early voters (50% to 43%); because of the small sample, this lead is not statistically significant. At this point four years ago, Obama led John McCain by 19 points (53% to 34%) among early voters.

'Seinfeld' Star Trashes

President Barack Obama sycophant Jason Alexander of "Seinfeld" fame is having a hard time explaining away Benghazi-Gate. So Alexander is going on the offensive, blasting sites like Breitbart.com along with its founder. Twitchy.com reports the actor called the late Andrew Breitbart a liar and trashed conservative media for daring to question the Obama administration's murky narrative on the death of four Americans on Sept. 11 in Libya. Here's Alexander firing back at a fellow Twitter user on the subject:

Crucial early votes for Obama
lagging in Ohio stronghold

CLEVELAND -- The stakes for President Obama could not be higher in this liberal bastion, an economically hard-hit region in the nation's premier battleground where the incumbent needs a massive turnout to prevail on Nov. 6. For Obama, this area is a firewall that could offset likely gains by Republican Mitt Romney throughout other stretches of Ohio -- but fault lines have emerged. Early voting, touted as Obama's secret weapon in the Buckeye State, is down nearly 10 percent in Cuyahoga County, which includes Cleveland, compared to the same time in 2008. Even before Hurricane Sandy ushered in

President Obama took time out from the campaign trail yesterday to visit a stretch of the devastated New Jersey coast and take on a role of comforter-in-chief that could be a major boost to his hopes of re-election next week. The President was accompanied by New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, a Republican bruiser and Mitt Romney backer who showered him with effusive praise for his handling of Superstorm Sandy, giving President Obama a bipartisan sheen that aides believe could help him secure victory on Tuesday.

A bit from Chait's case for Obama: I can understand why somebody who never shared Obama’s goals would vote against his reelection. If you think the tax code already punishes the rich too heavily, that it’s not government’s role to subsidize health insurance for those who can’t obtain it, that the military shouldn’t have to let gays serve openly, and so on, then Obama’s presidency has been a disaster, but you probably didn’t vote for him last time. For anybody who voted for Obama in 2008 and had even the vaguest sense of his platform, the notion

Several brazen thugs have robbed their neighbors and their local shops of everything from basic food stuffs to expensive electronics and they are taking to Twitter to broadcast their spoils.

Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz has now called on New York Governor Andrew Cuomo to put a stop to the crime-wave sweeping South Brooklyn. Police have so far arrested nearly a dozen people for the crime,

Rep. Cummings: Sandy response

Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.) said Thursday that it was "quite possible" the president's handling of the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy would boost his prospects at the polls next week. "I think it's quite possible, the president is doing what the president does best," Cummings said during an interview with CNN. "I mean, you've heard Gov. Christie say that he had talked to the president six times, and when he got together with him, he could feel the compassion that he felt over the phone, and that says a lot.

Getting Past the Election to
An Honest Debate

Aspen Times, by Charlie Leonard Original Article

The good news about the election this year, regardless of who wins the presidency, is that it has caused a lot of people to think more critically about the proper size and role of government in our lives. What this election has not done, however, is grounded that conversation in economic reality. For that, I strongly recommend that every voter — Republican, Democrat and independent — go online and get a copy of “The Moment of Truth,” the report of the National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform. To be clear, this is not a political document in the sense

I am voting for Romney and against Obama. (Not that anyone should care, especially. But opinion-giving is part of what I do.) I thought I would list my reasons. I will not list all of them, but some of them — certainly the basics. I will first say why I will vote for Romney. And then say why I’ll vote against O. Here we go. I’m voting for Romney because he’s a good and decent man (as far as I can tell). An exceptionally good and decent man. (Though politics brings out elbows, to be sure. So does business.)

President Obama got to do something the past three days that Republican challenger Mitt Romney can't do and that Obama hasn't had much time to do in the heat of the campaign: govern. Whether it was promising a robust federal response to Hurricane Sandy from the White House briefing room Monday, comforting victims at an American Red Cross office Tuesday or touring hard-hit areas with New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie on Wednesday, Obama stayed above the partisan fray of a dead-heat campaign. "This is an all-hands-on-deck approach," he said in Brigantine Beach, N.J., three tarp-covered boats behind him.

Obama Administration Mandates Oil

The Department of Interior (DOI) is requiring private oil companies to hire marine mammal and sea turtle monitors if the companies are granted a lease to drill offshore. A marine mammal observer’s job is to watch for whales, dolphins, and similar sea creatures and to advise on minimizing the underwater noise created by offshore drilling, which can affect the sea mammals. The DOI announced in a press release last week that it will open up 20 million acres in the Western Gulf of Mexico for an oil and gas lease sale to be held Nov. 28,

Despite continued high unemployment, a recent national poll shows that 59 percent of African-American voters age 19-29 feel that the country is “moving in the right direction.” Tufts University’s youth research organization, The Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning & Engagement released the poll Monday. The data reveals that while young black voters feel the general condition of the country is improving, only 23.6 percent of white youth said the country is moving in the right direction. Young Hispanic voters were the largest group to be unsure about the direction of the country.

Report: Chuck Hagel

Former Nebraska Sen. Chuck Hagel will cross party lines on Thursday and endorse Democrat Bob Kerrey in his effort to return to the U.S. Senate, according to a report. The Omaha World-Herald reports Hagel will back Kerrey, a fellow Vietnam War veteran whom he served with in the Senate. Kerrey is running against State Sen. Deb Fischer, and a World-Herald poll released last week showed Fischer’s lead shrinking to just three points after she held a double-digit lead for months. Nebraska Republicans dismissed Hagel as retired official who, like Kerrey, was out of touch with Nebraskans. Kerrey lived in Manhattan

Top strategists for Mitt Romney Wednesday expressed confidence that the GOP nominee would win North Carolina. Rich Beeson, political director for the Romney campaign, said Democrat Barack Obama carried the state by 14,000 votes in 2008. But so far this year, Republicans had closed the absentee and early vote gap in North Carolina gap by over 100,000 votes. “We will win on election day big,” Beeson said in a teleconference. “That 100,000 vote gap will only continue to grow as we move into election day. So North Carolina continues to move further and further from them, as evidence

Yes, yes, it’s unsophisticated to blame any given storm on climate change. Men and women in white lab coats tell us—and they’re right—that many factors contribute to each severe weather episode. Climate deniers exploit scientific complexity to avoid any discussion at all. Clarity, however, is not beyond reach. Hurricane Sandy demands it: At least 40 U.S. deaths. Economic losses expected to climb as high as $50 billion. Eight million homes without power. Hundreds of thousands of people evacuated. More than 15,000 flights grounded. Factories, stores, and hospitals shut. Lower Manhattan dark, silent, and underwater.

On Twitter this morning, New York Times poll analyst Nate Silver challenged MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough to a $1000 bet that Obama would win re-election. Scarborough called the race a “toss-up,” on Morning Joe this morning and suggested on Twitter that anyone who thought otherwise was being partisan. During a discussion of a Politico story reporting that journalists were “stumped” trying to predict the 2012 election, a Silver supporter tweeted at Scarborough, “Nate Silver isn’t stumped.” “Neither is Rasmussen,” Scarborough responded. “The rest are.”

The Northeast struggled to get back on its feet today following the wallop it took from Sandy, but was hampered by miles long lines at the few gas stations that had power, an overwhelmed mass transit system and still massive power outages. Throughout New Jersey, the hardest hit state, motorists roamed for hours looking for a gas station that had power and still had gasoline. And when a station was located, the line to the pump could last two hours. Those with gas who had to commute into the New York City encountered

If the CorruptMedia had its way, when polled on the question of Obama's handling of Libya, voters would respond with, "What's a Libya?" Unfortunately for the CorruptMedia, though, New Media now has a voice and the ability to mount an offensive in the form of a counter-narrative that has real impact. Nowhere is this more apparent than in a CBS/New York Times poll released yesterday that shows voters disapprove of Obama's handling of Libya by a 51-38% margin. When you consider the fact that Obama has a hard foundation of at least 47-48% of the vote,

According to the latest Washington Post/ABC News tracking poll, it is highly unlikely that Obama’s behavior during the reaction to Hurricane Sandy will have any impact on the presidential race: Likely voters’ also remain evenly divided in their assessments of Obama’s overall job performance: 50 percent approve of the way he is handling the presidency; 49 percent disapprove. The stability of these numbers — and of the presidential contest — make it unlikely that high ratings on handling the storm damage will move the needle on either front, but 70 percent of those who give Obama negative marks

Outside of higher taxes on everyone, we don’t know a lot about what President Obama’s second term agenda would look like. But we do know this: it would mean a lot more taxpayer investments in green energy companies. Campaigning in Florida earlier this year, Obama told supporters he would “double-down on a clean energy industry that’s never been more promising.” Never mind the almost 50 faltering or already bankrupt energy companies Obama has already wasted tax payer dollars on. So if Obama’s energy investments aren’t producing any more viable green energy companies., then what are they doing? Electing Democrats

Joe Kyrillos hopes to score a major upset in November in his race against New Jersey Democratic Sen. Bob Menendez. This is no easy feat for the Republican state senator. The two most recent polls of the race — from Fairleigh Dickinson and Monmouth Universities — put him 12 and 9 percentage points behind Menendez, respectively. But Kyrillos says he’s not deterred. “It’s not a normal election year, it’s not a normal New Jersey year because the country’s hurting,” he told The Daily Caller in a phone interview.

Even if Obama loses next week, the media goo machine will keep cranking away. The new TV Guide is already speculating: “Will Michelle Obama Be the Next Oprah?” Writer Stephen Battaglio imagines what a star she could become (if her husband loses). She could be bigger than Oprah? “Michelle Obama is such an appealing TV presence that if she and her husband find themselves moving out of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, she’ll have the opportunity to make the transition from high-profile engaging talk-show guest to high-profile talk-show host – arguably the biggest ever in terms of recognition.”

Two women from the Dominican Republic told The Daily Caller that Democratic New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez paid them for sex earlier this year. In interviews, the two women said they met Menendez around Easter at Casa de Campo, an expensive 7,000 acre resort in the Dominican Republic. They claimed Menendez agreed to pay them $500 for sex acts, but in the end they each received only $100. The women spoke through a translator in the company of their attorney, Melanio Figueroa.
