| Iowa's largest and most important newspaper backs Mitt Romney over President Obama — the first time they have endorsed a Republican since 1972: The president’s best efforts to resuscitate the stumbling economy have fallen short. Nothing indicates it would change with a second term in the White House. The president’s prescription upon entering office was a dose of government stimulus, which was the right call because it put cash in the pockets of consumers, made investments in vital infrastructure and kept millions of teachers and police officers on the job. That stimulus was necessary

Wow. I really thought they were going to endorse Obama anyway. I guess the whole off-the-record phone call debacle made them angry.

I am an idiot. Romney doesn't need OH. He should pull out and throw everything into WI and IA. He can take these states. Nothing is working in OH because they've been enjoying the economic benefits of the shale boom and the state has a hefty black and union vote.

Double thwap!! Don't tell us to keep it off the record. This is one of the few endorsements from a newspaper that matters. I'll bet the Obama campaign is a bit wee wee'd up tonight.

Sorry #4, Romney will take Ohio, everything is going his way there. Ryan is on a two day bus tour of the state as we speak.

Not since '72 have they endorsed a Republican. 40 years. A bit slow on the uptake, I'd say. Not that the Pubbies have moved heaven and earth to deserve it, but at least they aren't communists like the Dims. Yes, that's right, communists.

#1, No, I think his actions showed that he is a petulant small man who then changed his mind quickly for political reasons only. He simply showed who he is.(or better yet, what he is.)

Let's wait to see the entire endorsement, as this article apparently just contains excerpts whIch cheerlead for obama's stimulus. Nonetheless, we'll take it, as it could swing a few thousand votes in a tight race. Poster 6 is right. The WH is livid.

~~Barack Obama rocketed to the presidency from relative obscurity with a theme of hope and change. A different reality has marked his presidency. His record on the economy the past four years does not suggest he would lead in the direction the nation must go in the next four years.~~
Amazing! They also include a list of all the Presidential candidates they have endorsed....and how they did.

Per the LA Times, Obama ended his phone conversation with the Des Moines Register in which he asked for its endorsement, 'You'll feel better when you give it.'

The Register telegraphed this one with the front page a couple of days ago that featured side by side images of a small scowling Obama in an downbeat crowed next to a much larger image of a glowing Romney shaking hands with fired up supporters.

yeah that was a great personal stimulus-- 300 dollars each along with the IOU --spend now-- and get a 16 trillion debt to pay.
That's on the agenda again if Obe gets reelected.
We were so thrilled it's still setting in the bank.

This endorsement is a bellwether and a welcome sanity check...
As a Democrat, how big a failure does Obama have to be in order to not get the Des Moines Register endorsement, the paper that endorsed Mondale over Reagan, and Jimmah PeanutBrain TWICE!?!?
This is big, IMO.

What did President Obama do on the evening of 9/11/12 when our men were under attack in Benghazi? The invaluable Andrew McCarthy reminds us that Obama and Secretary Clinton had a 10:00 p.m. phone call of which many (including, I think, Chris Wallace) have lost sight. This morning when Wallace asked Obama aide Dan Pfeiffer what Obama was up to that evening, Pfeiffer declared the line of inquiry “offensive.” Translation: Obama and his minions would prefer to “move on” and are warning the likes of FNC off:(Snip for video)The Weekly Standard’s Daniel Halper has posted the rush transcript

WASHINGTON - There were new questions Saturday night concerning if anyone in the White House was aware of the IRS´ targeting of conservative groups. Inspector General Russell George said he informed a deputy at the Treasury Department in June of 2012 about the probe into the IRS. The Treasury Department confirmed the timeline but said they did not know the details of the investigation until last week.(Snip)Marcus Owens ran the tax-exempt division at the IRS for 10 years. He said it isn´t difficult to figure out who´s doing what at the agency.

PRESIDENT OBAMA: You are the mantle of Frederick Douglass and Booker T. Washington and Ralph Bunche and Langston Hughes and George Washington Carver and Ralph Abernathy and Thurgood Marshall and, yes, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. These men were many things to many people and they knew full well the role that racism played in their life. But when it came to their own accomplishments and sense of purpose, they had no time for excuses. Every one of you has a grandma or an uncle or a parent whose told you at some point in life

It began in earnest last Friday. A flash mob of latte drinking, tofu eating media that has done its best to quell, rather than fan the flames of truth, turned on one of their own. Jay Carney lay bludgeoned at the base of the podium, a victim of friendly fire. Ironically, the attack was reminiscent of the one in Benghazi he has repeatedly denied the Administration he represents bears any responsibility for. “Changed twelve times?!” came the cries. And with good reason. We were misled; no, lied to.

In the wake of one of the worst abuses of government power in recent history, many are rushing to frame the Internal Revenue Service scandal as simply an attack on conservative activists. That view risks creating a partisan political football and misses a fundamentally scarier abuse that exceeds the scandals of Watergate or any other prior government abuse. The IRS has admitted that since May 2010 it targeted grassroots-conservative organizations that had applied for tax-exempt status, unfairly subjecting them to rigorous scrutiny due to their political leanings. Such groups were told they were required to comply with IRS requests,

Lew asks Congress for debt increase,

Treasury Secretary Jack Lew on Friday urged congressional leaders to raise the debt limit and insisted that the White House is not going to negotiate over the increase because lawmakers have "no choice." "We will not negotiate over the debt limit," Lew wrote. "The creditworthiness of the United States is non-negotiable. The question of whether the country must pay obligations it has already incurred is not open to debate." Lew said that while President Obama is willing to discuss plans to reduce the nation´s deficit with Congress, those talks must be kept separate from any effort to raise the nation´s debt cap.

Washington – Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-MO, issued a video statement Friday in response to reports that the Internal Revenue Service unfairly targeted conservative nonprofit groups. (Snip) “There’s a reason Lady Justice wears a blindfold in America. That is because in America, we don’t apply the law based on who you are, who you know, or what you believe. We apply the law equally.” “We should not only fire the head of the IRS, which has occurred, but we’ve got to go down the line and find every single person who had anything to do with this and make sure
