in Washington needs to go

Washington Examiner, by Charlie Spiering Original Article

Speaking in Green Bay, Wisconsin this afternoon, President Obama reminded voters that if Mitt Romney was president, he would “rubberstamp the Tea Party’s agenda.” Obama told crowds that Romney’s ideas were not change, ridiculing him for “using his talents as a salesman” to dress up the same Bush-era polices to give “more tax cuts to the wealthy” and “more power to big banks.” “Ruling out compromise by pledging to rubberstamp the Tea Party’s agenda as President -– that’s definitely not change,” Obama said. “In fact, that’s exactly the attitude in Washington that needs to go.”

Earlier today, Foreign Policy reported on what two of its reporters found when they visited the Benghazi consulate, six weeks after the terrorist attack there. In the building known as the Tactical Operations Center were several documents that had not previously been reported on, or, perhaps, discovered: One letter, written on Sept. 11 and addressed to Mohamed Obeidi, the head of the Libyan Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ office in Benghazi, reads:

The State Department Wednesday expressed “great respect” for Islamic charitable traditions, but declined a terrorist’s offer to dispatch “doctors, relief and rescue experts, food and medicine” to help Americans affected by super storm Sandy. “While we have great respect, obviously, for the Islamic tradition of social assistance to those who are in need no matter where they might be, this particular offer strikes us as very hollow,” State Department spokesman Mark Toner told a briefing. The State Department Wednesday expressed “great respect” for Islamic charitable traditions,

Last night, radio host Mark Levin told the media they were “so damn corrupt” in their handling of the September 11 terrorist attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi. Levin compared ABC News touting its poll regarding President Obama’s handling of Hurricane Sandy to the media's coverage of the Benghazi terrorist attack: “You know, it’s interesting. I try to listen to the top of the hour news, and I’m hearing ABC Radio News, and they talk about a poll or survey on the president’s performance during this natural disaster. And it’s 70% positive, including Republics, and

A member of the president’s Secret Service protective detail, who was being investigated for having an unreported romantic relationship with a foreign national, was found dead Saturday in an apparent suicide, according to law enforcement sources. The official cause of Rafael Prieto’s death is still pending. The investigation had led to the suspension of his access to Secret Service facilities, according to sources familiar with the case. The Secret Service does not believe that Prieto passed any sensitive or classified information to the Mexican woman, according to a senior law enforcement official. Instead, Prieto was in the midst of an

Wednesday on The O’Reilly Factor, two weather experts debated Al Gore’s claims that global warming was to blame for Hurricane Sandy’s wrath. Gore said, “The storms are getting stronger. The stronger storms are getting more frequent. And you know, this is the second time in two years that part of Manhattan has been shut down … But the evidence is now so overwhelming.” Joe Bastardi, chief meteorologist at WeatherBell Analytics calls Gore’s claims “stunningly ignorant or stunningly deceptive.” According to Bastardi, such storms are nothing new, “In the 1950s […] 10 major hurricanes ran the eastern seaboard.

While President Obama and New Jersey governor Chris Christie traded compliments and showed a united front as they toured the devastation left by Hurricane Sandy, the mayor of Atlantic City was notably left out in the cold. Lorenzo Langford, the Democratic mayor, was kept far from Christie and Obama during their much-publicized appearance after Langford spent the previous day criticizing Christie. As the two leaders took off in Marine One for four-hour aerial tour of the Shore, Langford was left sulking alone in the airplane hangar where Air Force One sat empty waiting for the President’s return.

Voters will get one last update on the nation’s unemployment rate Friday morning, just four days before they head to the polls to choose between the economic visions of President Obama and Mitt Romney. (Snip) Analysts expect Friday’s release — which was in doubt earlier this week due to Hurricane Sandy — to show that the economy added between 130,000 and 140,000 jobs in October, though the unemployment rate might increase from 7.8 percent to 7.9 percent. Romney previewed his likely response to the report at a campaign rally Thursday, arguing that the slow decline in the unemployment rate is

Romney to campaign

Mitt Romney will campaign in Pennsylvania on Sunday, the first time he's campaigned in the state in many weeks, a Romney campaign official told The Hill. Romney's campaign has been increasingly bullish about its prospects in the state, launching its first ad there earlier this week. A number of GOP outside groups have also bought millions of dollars in airtime for the final push there. Obama's campaign has scoffed at Romney's push in Pennsylvania and other states they previously haven't contested, although they are investing in ads to combat the GOP outside group's efforts. It's unclear whether Romney is serious

Obama and the

President Obama must be defeated on Tuesday. Our republic hangs in the balance. A second term would enable him to achieve his seminal goal: the transformation of America into a European social democracy. The nation of our Founding Fathers will cease to exist. Our constitutional system will be replaced by a corporatist superstate based on arbitrary, centralized power and the fusion of big government, big business and big labor. His re-election would represent the final victory of the progressive movement — the creation of a liberal, socialist regime. For nearly four years, Mr. Obama has presided over a

Children out trick-or-treating in northern England on Halloween got more than they bargained for when they were given bags of cocaine instead of sweets, police say. A 23-year-old man has been charged with possession of class A drugs after the children's parents found the resealable plastic bags on Wednesday night and took them to the police in Royton, outside the northwestern city of Manchester. "Snap bags containing white powder were taken to the police and examined. It was confirmed that the bags contained cocaine.

New York - Among the smaller but still important casualties of hurricane Sandy were thousands of laboratory rodents, genetically altered for use in the study of heart disease, cancer and mental disorders like autism and schizophrenia, that perished in basement rooms at a New York University research centre in Kips Bay. The collection of carefully bred rodents was considered one of the largest and most valuable of its kind in the country.

Roanoke, Va. - Mitt Romney’s campaign is running a Spanish-language ad in Florida that claims Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez and Fidel Castro’s niece would support President Barack Obama. The spot shows a clip of Chavez saying that if he were American, ‘‘I'd vote for Obama.’’ The Venezuelan leader did say that in September, when he also called Obama ‘‘a good guy.’’ Obama’s campaign on Thursday said the ad provides the Venezuelan leader with more attention than he deserves.

BENGHAZI, Libya — More than six weeks after the shocking assault on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi -- and nearly a month after an FBI team arrived to collect evidence about the attack - the battle-scarred, fire-damaged compound where Ambassador Chris Stevens and another Foreign Service officer lost their lives on Sept. 11 still holds sensitive documents and other relics of that traumatic final day, including drafts of two letters worrying that the compound was under "troubling" surveillance and complaining that the Libyan government failed to fulfill requests for additional security.

On Thursday, Nate Silver, of the New York Times‘ FiveThirtyEight blog, made headlines when he offered a wager to MSNBC host Joe Scarborough. After receiving some criticism about his polling/statistics methods, Silver offered to bet $1,000 on President Barack Obama winning re-election. Later, he doubled that offer. The paper’s public editor, Margaret Sullivan, addressed the matter. (Snip) Sullivan noted that Silver is “accurate” in his argument against Scarborough, that “the closeness of the popular vote does not affect the probability that Mr. Obama will win. They are, simply, two very different things.”

Lynn Westmoreland (R-Ga.), referring to the comedy skit.

WASHINGTON— A senior Secret Service agent being formally investigated by the government for failing to disclose a long-standing relationship with a foreign citizen killed himself last week. People familiar with the matter say Rafael Prieto, a married father assigned to President Barack Obama's security detail, acknowledged the affair after U.S. authorities began investigating. These people spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss Prieto's death or the investigation. The sources say Prieto's relationship was revealed to Secret Service investigators by an agent who had been entangled in the Colombian prostitution scandal earlier this year.

The president delivered his speech from a podium that was adorned with the presidential seal.
