With Star-Studded Blitz

Milwaukee – After thousands of ads, hundreds of stump speeches and a record war chest of campaign cash, President Obama is banking on a final burst of star power to boost his get-out-the-vote effort in the final 72 hours of the 2012 presidential campaign. As Obama and his top surrogates – Vice President Joe Biden, first lady Michelle Obama and former President Clinton – barnstorm the battlegrounds this weekend, they will have a cast of Hollywood stars and music icons at their sides. The pairings are aimed at driving turnout, particularly among young and minority voters,

And like the man, I'm sure the crowds will be small.

It's just amazing what passes for a "star" now. Several of the singers are one-hit wonders who will whiz through their $$$ in no time and a bunch of C- and D- list actors and actresses. I've seen better acting at high school plays.

Good idea. I am sure that the average unemployed American who lost his home, can't find a job, is on food stamps and has lost everything over the last four years, really identifies with millionaires and billionaire Hollywood actors and music superstars. After all me an P-Diddy got the same 22 inch rims on our pimped out Escalades. So it's cool. We rollin low and slow bouncin with the beat and dancin to the music all the way to elecshun dayfor our Homeie Be Rock.

Had to laugh at their "stars." I saw that Stevie Wonder only had a handful of people show up at his last appearance. I wonder if that's the "rally" they were talking about in this article?

I read a lot of names of has-beens and never-heard-of-'ems in that bunch.

Hey! why isn't Madonna there, shouting to the crowd that they'd better vote "for f***ing Obama" who's a "black Muslim"? like she has done at recent concerts?

If i could, i'd like very much to be at Romney's Manchester, NH event, with Kid Rock! ;)

I know, that would be tempting for him to say. But, with all the class the future President has.....he will thank the American people for believing in our country again.

Every time I see that flap eared clown strut out on a stage like a rock
star I know how Chief inspector Dreyfus felt in the Pink Panther movies.
Obama is Clouseau! He's completely incompetent and completely unaware of
it. He actually thinks he's the greatest President we ever had. When I see all
those people cheering for him and it drives me freakin nuts that they cant
see what an incompetent boob he is. Its unbelievable. Gotta go. Some guys
in white coats are here.

Gee, for a guy who wants you to hate and fear the 1%, he sure likes to hang out with said 1% and take their campaign contributions.

Today Stevie Wonder had a street concert for Obama and attracted Fluke size crowds.
" In an unannounced event, Wonder performed for a small crowd of about 50 people a few blocks
from the veritably besieged Cuyahoga County early voting site."

Smokescreen. The stars are opening for Obama... they are the draw, not him. Watch the audiences leave after the star performs.

My poor former best friend of the 80s is not very political but thank goodness she voted already (NOT for Obama). But she called me from down south telling me she watched this concert for all the storm victims. She was all happy that Bon Jovi, Bruce Springsteen and a bunch of other oldies were playing. I told her, that wasn't for any victims...it was for Obama's campaign. You could almost hear the disappointment in her voice. I said, they are all Obama supporters. Every one of them! She went into semi-denial saying she doesn't know and doesn't care -- she just thought it was great they did their songs as ballads and did an a'capella version of Under the Boardwalk. I was glad she already voted...cuz I was getting a headache from the conversation.

Today, wife and I went to several garage sales. At one of them, the sellers had a computer printer poster of Øbama,, and his slogan (one of his slogans) "Let's Get To Work"- I pointed the poster out and said to the wife loudly, so all could hear, "Look, these people are Øbama supporters- let's get out of here!" Almost everyone looked at me, then the poster I pointed to and they all left, about three couples. The guy selling the junk flipped me the bird when we drove off. Wife told me, "You should not do that!" I told her, "We must speak out. The time for polite silence and tolerating these scum is past. We've been silent for way too long!"

The northeast Ohio clinic in a court filing denied Ariel Knights´ allegations that doctors were negligent and failed to successfully perform the abortion she sought, eventually leading to the birth of her healthy baby daughter.

The recovering drug addict with a long rap sheet who had just sat down on the bench at a north Philadelphia train station often wondered if he was a good person, and perhaps never considered that anyone thought he was a hero to anybody. But there was no self-doubt when Christopher Knafelc´s instincts kicked in Thursday and he leaped onto the tracks to help a complete stranger he´d just seen flail and fall off the platform.

Viral Internet video and photographs of right-to-work protesters tearing down a tent and trashing a Lansing hot dog vendor´s catering equipment has sparked an online fundraising drive to help a man known by most as "the hot dog guy." During Tuesday´s mass demonstrations that attracted an estimated 10,000 to the Capitol lawn, protesters of the right-to-work law the Legislature was passing and voting on tore down a tent rented by the Michigan chapter of Americans for Prosperity. Witnesses and Internet videos show protesters, some wearing union clothes, using knives or box cutters to cut the tent´s ropes.

Mitt Romney is within striking distance of Barack Obama in Michigan in the final days before the election, buoyed by more who are convinced the Republican is a viable alternative to the president, with the ability to turn around the economy. Obama's lead over Romney has shrunk to just under 3 points, 47.7 percent to 45 percent, with 3.8 percent undecided, according to a new Detroit News/WDIV Local 4 poll of likely voters. Obama's lead was 6.7 points earlier this month and has eroded to within the poll's 3.8 percentage point margin of error. It's the smallest advantage for the Democratic

Conservative radio host Mark Levin is very skeptical of the idea that President Obama had absolutely no idea about the IRS tea party targeting before the story broke in the news mere weeks ago. Levin declared adamantly that it is a “flat-out, bald-faced lie” that Obama didn’t know beforehand, citing prior reports by a few conservative news outlets picking up on the news well before the 2012 presidential election. Levin said, “I don’t believe for two seconds that Obama wasn’t aware of this.”

President Obama on Thursday nominated Victoria Nuland, a State Department official involved in the editing of the administration´s talking points on Benghazi, to be the next assistant secretary of state for European and Eurasian affairs. Nuland, a career foreign service officer who was until recently State´s top spokesperson, had long been expected to be nominated the post to replace Philip Gordon, who Obama picked to serve as Middle East coordinator for the National Security Council. Nuland´s nomination -- which requires Senate confirmation -- could come under scrutiny from Republicans who see her as playing a central role in shaping

Anthony Weiner’s New York mayoral candidacy was only made more improbable today after he revealed that he visited a Houston psychiatric facility following his resignation from Congress in 2011. Haunted by scandal surrounding his sexually explicit online communications with women, the Democratic former congressman sought treatment for his compulsive behavior from mental health professionals at the Gabbard Center. According to its website, the facility provides “3-day outpatient psychiatric evaluation,” particularly to “professionals who are in personal or professional crises.” While Weiner did not disclose

On “Fox News Sunday” last weekend, White House aide Dan Pfeiffer was asked about President Barack Obama’s whereabouts the night of the Sept. 11 attack in Benghazi. This was the night when we lost our first ambassador in 30 years, and when three other Americans were killed in an attack that lasted all night long at multiple locations within the eastern Libyan city. Since the president is commander in chief, one would think where he was and what he did during such an event would be of obvious public concern.

MARK LEVIN: So why didn´t Chairman Issa hold an investigative hearing a year ago? Why didn´t Chairman Camp, all Republicans, hold an investigative hearing a year ago, and all the other tripping over themselves right now? I´ll tell you why. Because the establishment Republicans, the RINO Republicans, despise the Tea Party. They despise the conservative movement. We exist to be managed, to be shuttled to the polling place, to vote for their candidates. The Karl Roves of the world, and all the rest of them. They fight us in the primaries, they fight us at the grassroots.
