Running on fumes: Desperate motorists'
grapple for gas becomes violent
as Guns pulled and North East
suffers enormous fuel crisis

Daily Mail [UK], by Beth Stebner Original Article

Posted By: Attercliffe- 11/2/2012 11:15:47 AM Post Reply

With much of the tri-state area stuck in darkness for the fourth day running following the devastation of Sandy, the fuel situation has become even more dire, with desperate survivors bickering over their place at the pump, and some even brandishing firearms to get what they need. A man in Queens pulled a pistol on another motorist yesterday, and at nearly every gas station in the region, tempers are high and patience is thin. Others have reportedly resorted to pushing and shoving, adding to the mayhem in the stricken area. While fuel is slowly making its way toward the storm-ravaged

Media Bias 101: Benghazi vs.
Watergate and Iran-Contra

American Spectator, by Paul Kengor Original Article

Posted By: JoniTx- 11/2/2012 11:12:48 AM Post Reply

Who'd have thought that hyenas could turn into lambs. Question: How is Benghazi different from Watergate and Iran-Contra? The obvious answer: the media. Liberal journalists turned Watergate and Iran-Contra into gigantic national scandals by their consistent, relentless pursuit of both stories; to the contrary, they are consistently, relentlessly ignoring Benghazi. The media's treatment of Watergate needs no explanation here. The press detested Richard Nixon unlike any modern president. Sure, the liberal media went after George W. Bush, but nothing like the way it attacked Richard Nixon.

Obama Campaign on Thursday:
Doesn't Matter What the
Jobless Number Is

With four days until Election Day, the unemployment report coming out this morning takes on added significance -- either boosting President Obama's contention that the economy is improving, or suggesting that it is not. But the Obama campaign says up or down, the October unemployment rate won't make much difference: "We also know that people at home are making their decisions based on where we take the economy from here," Jen Psaki, the traveling press secretary for the Obama campaign, told reporters on Thursday. "We don't know what the numbers are.

Wealthy Columbia Univ.

The shroud over President Barack Obama’s college records — recently spotlighted by Donald Trump’s $5 million challenge — is prompting Americans to share what they’ve got, and The Daily Caller is getting its share of leads, including one story that the president scored a GPA of only 2.6 at Columbia University. The 2.6 grade can’t be confirmed, is contradicted by some evidence, and it doesn’t say anything about the courses, professors and associations Obama was immersed in during his two-year stay in Columbia. But the source is credible, and he’s contributing to the collective effort by Americans to

On Friday’s Fox & Friends, Geraldo Rivera and Eric Bolling engaged in what nearly became a screaming match as they hashed out the continuing scandal regarding the White House’s response to September’s attack on an American consulate in Libya. Rivera became agitated with Bolling who he said was disseminating false information in order to make a political point against President Barack Obama. (Snip) Rivera detailed precisely why he thought that the United States government did all that they could at the time of the attack, and that investigation into this incident is flawed given its proximity to

In Michael Bloomberg's Manhattan, just as in Barack Obama's Washington, D.C., the political and media elite seem to think that talking about something, holding a press conference or televising a party amounts to doing something to solve a problem. The residents of Staten Island, desperately in need of food and power generators three days after Hurricane Sandy hit, know differently. So far, neither the Red Cross nor the supposedly "new and improved" Federal Emergency Management Administration have provided them with much assistance, if any.

Obama and the Back-
to-the-Future Campaign

Wall Street Journal, by Fred Barnes Original Article

Posted By: KarenJ1- 11/2/2012 10:53:14 AM Post Reply

President Obama is eyeing a new tax cut to boost the economy. He wants to "reduce the costs of our health care programs." He's eager to "meet" the deficit-reduction target of the Simpson-Bowles commission. He's "confident" he can reach a "grand bargain" with Republicans on taxes and spending. To get it, he promises to be breathtakingly bipartisan. "I'll wash John Boehner's car," he told a radio interviewer. "I'll walk Mitch McConnell's dog." This sounds like meaningless election-year chatter, but there's more to it than even Mr. Obama might suspect. If he'd done in his first term what he now

Classified United States military units are operating in the region near Libya since the Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi, according to the director of operations for the Pentagon’s Joint Staff. The disclosure that secret U.S. military forces were dispatched to Libya recently was revealed in a letter sent Wednesday to the House Armed Services Committee by Vice Adm. Kurt Tidd, director of operations for the Pentagon’s Joint Staff. Tidd said that after the attack in Benghazi, the U.S. European Command sent a Fleet Antiterrorism Security Team (FAST) platoon to

Obama’s Second-Term Agenda

Weekly Standard, by Jeffrey H. Anderson Original Article

Posted By: KarenJ1- 11/2/2012 10:42:04 AM Post Reply

Observers on both sides of the political aisle have noted, often with surprise, President Obama’s failure to offer an agenda for a second term in office. It would be a mistake, however, to assume Obama has no second-term agenda; he simply doesn’t have one he can express aloud. In truth, the president’s main agenda item for a second term is to cement the result of his first term that Americans like least—Obama-care. It is fitting, then, that the principal reason why Obama seeks reelection may prove to be the primary cause of his defeat.

MIAMI — Legions of lawyers are ready to enter the fray in case Election Day turns on a legal challenge.

Bauer, for instance, wrote this week to Wisconsin's secretary of state raising questions about reports that some Romney poll watchers were being trained with information that could mislead or intimidate voters.

New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg is facing much criticism for plans to use several massive generators to provide electricity for tents in Sunday’s New York City Marathon while thousands of New Yorkers continue to suffer without power in the wake of Hurricane Sandy. The marathon is set to take place as scheduled even though first responders who have been working on the flooding and power outages associated with the storm, will now be diverted to cover the marathon. Gretchen Carlson weighed in on Fox and Friends this morning saying that while everyone understands that the marathon

Clint Eastwood joined Sean Hannity tonight for an exclusive interview. The Oscar winner, who has endorsed Mitt Romney, revealed how he became involved in the Republican National Convention. Rather than delivering a scripted speech, he said he just wanted to speak from the heart and touch on subjects that the average citizen wonders about. As someone who was born at the start of the Great Depression, Eastwood said during that time there was very little federal assistance for people. He warned that with the unrealistic thinking people have about money nowadays,

In a whirlwind of post-storm decisions that might ruffle some feathers, Gov. Chris Christie announced a string of orders and plans intended to speed New Jersey's recovery from Superstorm Sandy, including telling teachers to work on their days off and utilities to speed up the job of power restoration. He secured loaned rail cars to use in place of some of the New Jersey Transit cars that were flooded, ordered natural gas shut off in devastated places and announced that military trucks would be used as makeshift polling places in places where regular voting spots

With the latest jobs report, it is now the case that "Under Obama, Food Stamp Growth [Is] 75 Times Greater Than Job Creation," according to statistics compiled by the Republican side of the Senate Budget Committee. "For Every Person Added to Jobs Rolls Since January 2009, 75 People Added To Food Stamp Rolls." Here's a chart detailing the growth: Since January 2009, as the chart shows, a net of 194,000 new jobs have been created. During that same time, 14.7 million have been added to the food stamp rolls.

A watchdog group tasked with monitoring the war in Afghanistan is raising doubts as to whether the Afghan government will be ready for the planned withdrawal of U.S. forces in 2014. A report issued Wednesday by the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction says Afghanistan is too heavily dependent on foreign assistance and it will have a difficult time sustaining the military’s operations and maintenance costs once the U.S. is gone. "The Afghan government will likely be incapable of fully sustaining ANSF (Afghan National Security Forces) facilities after the transition

The multinational body planning to observe next Tuesday’s elections says its monitors won’t enter polling stations in states where that would be illegal – but adds that laws barring their entry are not in line with America’s international commitments. A spokesman for the Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR), the election-monitoring arm of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE), told CNSNews.com Thursday its monitors are in the U.S. to observe, not “to break any laws or in any way interfere with the election process.”

BROCKTON — U.S. Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren’s campaign pledged to chip in and help the city’s thousands of inactive voters if they need assistance on Election Day. A third of the city’s roughly 53,000 registered voters will be listed as inactive on Tuesday when voters head to the polls because they did not reply to the city’s annual census and did not respond to a follow-up mailing. When they reach the polling place, voters listed as inactive will need to fill out an affirmation of residency and will need to bring along an approved form of identification.

Mia Love leads incumbent Rep. Jim Matheson (D-Utah) by double digits in the race to represent Utah’s newly drawn 4th congressional district, according to a new poll. Love, the mayor of Saratoga Springs, is ahead of Matheson 52-40 percent in a Salt Lake Tribune poll released overnight. The two candidates have been locked in a hotly contested and expensive contest that comes with a price tag of at least $10 million. Earlier polls indicated that the race looked to be a nail-biter. But in the latest survey, Matheson — a six-term congressman

Obama's Rust Belt, Sun Belt
Backers Very Different

In the campaign’s final days, President Obama’s hopes of reelection may turn on his ability to assemble very different coalitions of support in the Sunbelt and the Rustbelt, a wave of new battleground state polling this week suggests. In diverse Sunbelt states like Virginia, Florida and Colorado, Obama is drawing enough backing from minorities and upscale white women to remain step-for-step with Mitt Romney, despite big deficits for the president among working-class whites and a substantial shortfall among college-educated white men in most of those states, according to detailed analyses of recent surveys provided to National Journal.

How desperate is hurricane-ravaged New Jersey? Not desperate enough to suspend a union monopoly that keeps the state in the bottom ten states for economic competitiveness (and #48 for business friendliness). Relief crews from Alabama who were specifically called to New Jersey found themselves diverted to Long Island, NY after they arrived because they use non-union labor. Alabama is a right-to-work state.

Obama Runs from Iran

The Iranian challenge to US interests and allies is the most pressing strategic issue for Washington in the Middle East. With the US election less than a week away, now is as good a time as any to look back on the Obama administration's Iran policy. President Obama has defined US interests narrowly, instead of viewing Iran through a broader regional prism. Over the last four years, the US has focused on diplomatic initiatives and negotiations over Tehran's nuclear program. Yet, as critical as the nuclear program is, it is but one component-albeit a central one-of Iran's broader regional project.

Trust matters. ... You know that I say what I mean and I mean what I say. ...
