Krauthammer vs. Williams On
Benghazi: Administration Has

Real Clear Politics, by Ian Schwartz Original Article

CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER TO JUAN WILLIAMS: You think that the administration is withholding information that could serve them? This is an administration that when they did the raid on bin Laden, SEAL Team Six, and they had a ton of information -- a lot of that should never have been released, which served them well -- they released it almost immediately in a scandalously open way because it exposed a lot of methods and a lot of our people. This is not an administration which has shown itself to be a keeper of secrets that

Geraldo Rivera is bucking the Fox News trend on criticizing the Obama administration’s handling of the death of four Americans at the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, and is criticizing the criticism. Fox News has been keeping focus on the story, and some of the network’s personalities have taken to criticize the media for ignoring the story. Rivera rebutted the criticism, arguing that it is a “cruel myth” to suggest the deaths of the four Americans killed might have been prevented, and said, “Life is not an action movie.”

Sixteen Fisker Karma electric vehicles caught fire and burned to the ground after being submerged by saltwater from Hurricane Sandy's storm surge. The $100,000 cars were parked in Port Newark, N.J., prior to the storm's arrival, according to Jalopnik. The vehicles were submerged when Hurricane Sandy's storm surge beached the port, flooding the luxury electric vehicles and other cars parked in the port. Jalopnik reported the cars "then caught fire, exploded." The website showed several photos of what remains of the vehicles.

NEW YORK/WASHINGTON- New York state on Wednesday asked the U.S. federal government to pay all the costs of cleaning up and repairing damage from massive storm Sandy that tore through the Northeast this week and crippled New York City. Governor Andrew Cuomo said he is asking fellow Democrat, President Barack Obama, to pay 100 percent of the estimated $6 billion bill, at a time that state and local government budgets remain constrained by a weak economic recovery. That would be a significant change from last year when the federal government covered about 75 percent of the $1.2 billion cost

The deputy chief of mission at the U.S. embassy in Tripoli was contacted by a persistent Ambassador Chris Stevens the night of the Benghazi murders, trying to convey that the consulate compound was under attack, a Republican congressman said. Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah), who is chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Subcommittee on National Security, Homeland Defense and Foreign Operations, relayed on Fox last night a conversation he had with the envoy on a fact-finding trip to Libya shortly after the Sept. 11 attack. “He’s a good man. His name’s Gregory Hicks.

Time off to vote comes with job

It doesn't matter if early voting is the hot new trend. Companies must still give their employees in Texas at least two consecutive hours off on Election Day in which to cast their ballots. That's not an issue for someone who works 9 to 5 because the employee has two consecutive hours on either side of the regular workday, since the polls are open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., according to the Texas Secretary of State's Office. But in this world of 12-hour shifts and 9/80 schedules, complying with state election law can get complicated.

The Uncool President

In 2008, Barack “No Drama” Obama was the coolest presidential candidate America had ever seen — young, hip, Ivy League, mellifluous, and black, with a melodic and exotic name. Rock stars vied to perform at his massive rallies, where Obama often began his hope-and-change sermons by reminding the teary-eyed audience what to do in case of mass fainting. Money, like manna from heaven, seemed to drop spontaneously into his campaign coffers. Ecstatic Hollywood stars were rendered near speechless at the thought of Obama’s promised Big Rock Candy Mountain to come — peace, harmony, prosperity,

The Obama administration declared a public health emergency for New York late Wednesday as the region reels from the effects of Hurricane Sandy. The Health and Human Services (HHS) Department has deployed teams of medical professionals from around the country to assist hurricane victims in New York and New Jersey, according to the announcement. The emergency declaration allows HHS to waive certain rules for Medicare, Medicaid and CHIP beneficiaries at states' request with the goal of ensuring continuous care throughout the crisis.

Seven weeks later, the White House still hasn't explained what President Obama did and didn't do during the seven hours of the attack on Benghazi on September 11. And there's been no response from the White House to questions asked by senators or THE WEEKLY STANDARD or David Ignatius in the Washington Post. We have, to be sure, heard from some government officials. But the information they've provided raises still more questions. CIA director David Petraeus authorized a statement pointedly saying that "No one at any level in the CIA told anybody not to help those in need;

Argentine lawmakers approved a bill lowering the country’s voting age, a move that could rally youth support as President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner tries to revert a slide in her popularity ahead of congressional elections next year. The lower house approved the bill in a 131-to-2 vote yesterday, converting Argentina into one of only a handful of nations where 16-year-olds can vote. The government-backed bill, which passed the Senate in early October, allows young people to cast ballots two years before voting becomes mandatory at age 18.

A torrent of ads is flooding TV sets in the final days of Election 2012 — and fact-checkers, reporters and pundits are poring over nearly every one. But there’s another, less-noticed air war. Barack Obama, Mitt Romney and their allies have also unleashed a flood of radio ads, which usually get little scrutiny. Yet industry insiders say the radio spots actually could be more influential at this late stage, as the eyes of swing-state voters glaze over after months of near-constant television ads. Radio allows campaigns, super PACs and other players to tailor messages to specific audiences

Friedman: Liberals Are

And here I thought Team Obama couldn't out-do it's absurd performance comparing a vote for the president to virgin sex. But they can. The proof is courtesy of New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman, who argues here that liberals must claim the term "pro-life." Reading between the lines, the reason for this is obvious. Those who believe that life should be protected in the womb increasingly have been winning hearts and minds, while the historical "pro-choice" movement is becoming a 20th century relic. So, what to do about it? Lie, of course.

The Case for Mitt Romney

Time, by Rich Lowry Original Article

Mitt Romney does not naturally inspire adulation. In school, he should have been voted least likely to engender a cult of personality. It is almost surprising to hear crowds at his rallies chant his name. A President Romney would be utterly unburdened by messianic expectations. If he’s elected, the American public will have hired him to do a job, not to save the planet or redeem our politics. Thankfully. We’ve had enough self-styled heroic government to last us a good long time. President Romney’s task would be simple, if not easy: to reform government for the 21st century

Antitrust law protects consumers by protecting the competitive process — not individual competitors. Since 2010, U.S. and EU antitrust agencies have been investigating Google’s search practices. We’ve written a new white paper applying a Chicago School analysis to the potential legal theories against Google, finding that many of them face significant legal hurdles. Notably, Google’s critics, consisting mainly of its competitors, have alleged that Google is making it more difficult for them to compete in Internet search by including “specialized” search results in general search pages.

Maybe the bank robber couldn’t see very well through the holes in his mask — the face of Chucky from the “Child’s Play” horror movies — as he walked into Peoples Bank & Trust Tuesday afternoon. After all, it says right on the door that concealed weapons are allowed in the bank. They’re practically encouraged by the sign: “Management recognizes the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution as an unalienable right of all citizens.” Bank president David W.

Why won’t the mainstream media treat the incontrovertible evidence of the White House’s dishonesty and incompetence like the ugly scandal it obviously is?

Waxman, the top Democrat on the House Energy and Commerce Committee who authored the cap-and-trade bill, wrote a letter to Rep.

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

Welcome to November.

(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.

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.

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.
