| While President Obama has kept to the White House over the past couple of days, his surrogates are still out and about doing some of the heavy lifting for his campaign. Former President Bill Clinton was stumping for Obama in Ohio yesterday, and today he made the rounds in Minnesota (yes, that’s right — Minnesota. Oh, how the tables have turned!) The president himself and Team Romney have been scrupulously avoiding making a ‘political issue’ out of the human tragedy that comes with a hurricane as massively destructive as Sandy, but for some surely unfathomable reason, President

Comments: bill clinton tries to make an issue out of......climate change? Polls have shown this to be such a minor issue and inconsequential to those voters whose minds can be changed. It's like bill clinton wants to go out and campaign for 0bama without doing anything useful. Yup, just like that.

Criminy. I saw a clip of the old goat wagging that bent forefinger and ranting about Romney's mocking Obie's 2008 campaign spiel about stopping the sea rising or somesuch. His punchline: that he wished someone had stopped it yesterday. Cheesy.
More of the preezy and his minions (Bubba is reduced to being an Obot minion) acting like a losing challenger rather than the incumbent president of the United States of America. How they all do shrink.

Climate change ideology = big bucks for those wicked wicked capitalists. It's a gold mine for those savvy enough to exploit it. Even when you fail, you succeed. Look at Solyndra(R.I.P.) inter alia. The merest tip of the tip of the iceberg. The irony is delicious, for the true engine, the throbbing heart of climate hysteria is our old friend, capitalism. The kooks and cultists and eco-nuts and assorted suckers and believers are just the window dressing - the ideological superstructure, as some are wont to call it. Even the Marxists serve to distract attention from what is really going on. What is really going on is people trying to make big bucks fast. I don't mind that, but I don't like their approach, i.e. the massive transfer of wealth from the public(taxpayer) to the private(green energy, cap and trade etc.) sector. The expropriators are at it again.This time they are trying to fleece the peasants through the public treasury. One might plausibly argue that if the peasants are dumb enough to hand over their public bank account to the capitalists, they deserve what follows. But this delightful scenario -delightful for the hustlers and go-getters who manage to get their hands into the public till- cannot continue indefinitely.

People with more than half a brain couldn't care less what Clinton says... after all, he is a career politician that has perfected the ability to look straight into the camera and tell millions of people a bold face lie without blinking an eye. It's what career politicians do, they tell you what you want to hear even if it's the biggest whopper they ever told.
BUT... half of this nation are unable to muster up half a brain and are media zombies, spending 90% of their waking hours staring at QVC and other direct marketers, trying to figure out the best way to spend their government checks. Those people love Clinton and can be swayed like a reed in the wind. And that can be catastrophic.

Ho Humm. Is Bill still around? I thought he'd be off chasing some intern around his walker. Not only was his presidency no great shakes, he couldn't get Osama Bin Laden when he was handed to him on a platter. He did manage to bomb a chinese embassy though. Too bad we weren't fighting them at the time. And he didn't do diddley squat about climate change except exude a lot of hot air.

The long tradition of former presidents respecting the office, has been flushed by bill clinton. Even jimmy carter keeps his mouth shut during presidential elections. Bill Clinton cannot.

We at Townhall have been covering this hotly contested Senate race for months and the results are finally in: With 36 percent of precincts reporting, Elizabeth Warren has been declared the next junior Senator from Massachusetts. Warren has never held public office before and the eye-popping $40 million she raised this election cycle evidently proved more than enough to unseat incumbent Senator Scott Brown. This was the most expensive Senate race of 2012 -- by a long shot.

CNN’s Peter Hamby reported that Mitt Romney‘s internal polling showed President Obama leading in Ohio by five percentage points.Per Hamby’s post: The number represented a sharp final bump for Obama in Ohio, a race that had essentially been a tied race through much of the previous week, according to the campaign’s daily tracking. The polling, which also showed a tight race in Pennsylvania, explains why Romney officials decided to send their candidate on last-minute Election Day visits to Cleveland and Pittsburgh.

The Obama and Romney campaigns may be gearing up for a very late night, with one Obama campaign adviser predicting that in Florida alone, "they'll be counting until 2 a.m." The Obama adviser said signs suggest the race is quite tight, though the campaign claimed to be "holding strong" in key battlegrounds like Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. The adviser also said turnout among black voters in Virginia was better than expected, suggesting that could be a problem for Mitt Romney. Republican operatives in Virginia, though, predicted a razor-thin victory for their candidate in the state.

Washington - Early returns on Tuesday in what is anticipated to be a dead even presidential election contained no surprises, as CNN projected President Barack Obama will win his home state of Illinois and eight other races while Republican challenger Mitt Romney will win nine states. All races called so far went as expected after the roller-coaster ride of an election campaign that was buffeted by a superstorm and missteps on both sides. Obama and Romney ran dead even in final polls that hinted at a result rivaling some of the closest presidential elections in history, reflecting the deep political

A week after Hurricane Sandy slammed into the East Coast, a majority of voters said President Barack Obama’s response to the crisis wasn’t a factor in their vote, according to early exit polls. Fifty-five percent of those surveyed, per CBS News’ early exit polling released by radio station WKZO in Kalamazoo, Mich., said Obama’s handling of the storm was a minor factor in their vote or wasn’t a factor at all. Twenty-six percent named Sandy as an “important” factor, and 15 percent said it was the “most important” factor in their decision.

Mitt Romney is leading among independents in both Ohio and Virginia, early exit polls show. In Ohio, the former Massachusetts governor takes 56 percent of self-identified independents, compared with 40 percent for President Barack Obama. That’s a huge decrease for Obama from 2008, when the exit polls found him winning independents in Ohio by 12 points, 52 percent to 44 percent for John McCain. The numbers are similar but slightly tighter in Virginia: Romney takes 53 percent of independents there, according to ABC News exit polls, a 12-point lead over Obama. In 2008, Obama won independents in the state by

A group of whistleblowers, including a number of aviation experts, have come forward in a new documentary to claim that the official explanation for the crash of TWA Flight 800 was wrong and a gas tank explosion did not bring down the flight off the coast of Long Island 17 years ago. However, the six whistleblowers, all part of the original investigation team, stopped short of saying the plane was shot down. Flight 800, a Boeing 747, had just taken off from JFK airport with 230 people aboard on July 17, 1996 enroute to Paris when it exploded

An attorney whose firm represents two Benghazi whistleblowers said Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, lied to the Senate when he said there was never a “stand down” order during the Benghazi attack on Sept. 11, 2012. “What was fascinating is that he explained his lie to them,” Joe DiGenova, an attorney representing one of the whistleblowers, told CNSNews.com. “He actually said they were sent to Tripoli. They were needed in Benghazi,” said DiGenova, a former U.S. attorney, now with the Washington firm of DiGenova & Toensing.

Likening religious schools to segregation--a racist system that forced blacks to attend different schools and use different facilities than whites in the American South--President Barack Obama told a town hall meeting for youth in Belfast, Northern Ireland on Monday that there should not be Catholic and Protestant schools because such schools cause division. "Because issues like segregated schools and housing, lack of jobs and opportunity--symbols of history that are a source of pride for some and pain for others--these are not tangential to peace; they’re essential to it,"

Amid a steady rise of backlash, Edward Snowden, the 29-year-old former National Security Agency contractor who was the source of a spring of leaks about the agency´s surveillance methods, conducted a live chat on The Guardian´s website Monday morning. Judging from some of the pointed questions he´s been asked and the reaction to newly leaked revelations over the past few days, it´s clear that much of the sympathy and support Snowden had built up for his early exposures is eroding. Many Americans supported his decision to leak information about a pair of National Security Agency surveillance programs, which, he detailed, gathered information

Listening to Barack Obama give his speech in Belfast on Monday, it was hard not to stifle a yawn. I kept waiting for the part when he would say something interesting, but, about three quarters of the way through, realised it wasn’t going to come. Judging from television pictures some of his young audience felt the same, after the initial rush of euphoria of receiving the rock star president in their midst had passed. This is not surprising, for we had already heard this number about the inspirational role of the Northern Ireland peace process and the Emerald Isle’s

This is the thirtieth anniversary of the publication of How Democracies Perish, an analysis of the spread of world communism by Jean-François Revel, one of freedom´s most serious French defenders since Tocqueville. At the heart of this work, Revel details "The Tools of Communist Expansion," among which the most relevant for understanding our current situation comes in Chapter 16, "Ideological Warfare and Disinformation." The profound simplicity of Revel´s nuts and bolts account of totalitarianism´s Cold War advance, far from being obsolete

Charlie Rose last night asked President Obama his new Syria policy. The president first objected to it being called a new policy. "I´m not sure you can characterize this as a new policy. This is consistent with the policy that I´ve had throughout," he said. Obama then explained the goal is regional stability, and especially in Syria. "Really, what we´re trying to do is take sides against extremists of all sorts and in favor of people who are in favor of moderation, tolerance, representative government, and over the long-term, stability and prosperity for the people of Syria," said Obama.
