| Well, that didn't take long. About 12 hours after last night's debate wrapped up the RNC went live with an online video attacking what it's calling President Obama's debate "smirk." Here was the blast that went out to reporters (via the Washington Examiner): "Good morning, we're out with a new video 'Smirk' highlighting the president's debate performance where he was visibly uncomfortable as he struggled to give Americans answers on how he'll turn our country around with another four years. As Morning Joe said this morning—it appeared as if Obama thought debating was beneath him."

Comments: Attack Ad ? There's not s single voice in the ad other than Mitt taking Barry to the woodshed last night juxtaposed to shots of 0bama SEETHING with hate and trying to cover it with his smirk. The ad is straightforward, effective & devestating.

I'm honestly not sure anymore if what we see as condescension is not some variant of desperation mingled with terror. Remember: deep down, the man knows he is a fraud.

During that beat down by Gov. Romney, Obama was making a list of his staff members, czars, and advisors who either get a pink slip or have to resign to spend more time with their family. Smirk this!

This doesn't begin to pay the smirker back for the pain and suffering he has put the citizens and the nation itself through during his occupation. I feel great that some of the truth of his exploits were exposed to so many millions last night. It is a good start, but I want much more on the national stage, for all to see.

The Emperor is unmasked as having no clothes. Obama's smirk is an attempt to mask his fear. His mind was likely spinning as to what he should say in response, but there is no defense for his failed Presidency. Obama feared looking like a fool and a wimp, and fears losing.

While Romney is ticking off all of Obama's supposed "failures," I see Obama barely being able to contain his pride in the destruction he has wrought. I see Obama thinking "Yeah! I did that!" I see a person being scolded and thinking to himself "Yeah! And I'd do it again, too!"
It is also rather frightening, because it could also be taken as the half-smile of a man who is the only one in the room who knows something is about to happen. Maybe he knows he's already lost and he's just looking forward to his retirement in Hawaii. I sure hope that's all it is. Either way, it's spooky for its inappropriateness.

I actually think Obama wasn't listening to Romney; that he didn't hear a word Romney was saying.
I think he was reading tweets off his iphone (or whatever device he had) and grimacing because they are coming in too slowly to be useful and was rather desperately looking for one he can use, NOW.
Dumb campaign prep idea (vintage Jarrett)...to be quietly, privately coached during the campaign via tweets ... and quite likely against the debate rules.

WASHINGTON — Attorney General Eric Holder, the nation´s chief law enforcement officer, returned to the courthouse where he once served as a judge, this time in the role of prospective juror performing his civic duty. The Justice Department said Holder wasn´t chosen and that he won´t be called back. Had he been selected for the jury Tuesday, the attorney general would have been on a panel hearing an armed robbery case. Holder sat in the last row of Judge Stuart Nash´s courtroom along with other prospective jurors as the judge gave details of the case.

The U.S. has been denied direct access to the only publicly known suspect in custody in connection with the Benghazi terror attack, Fox News has learned, with U.S. interrogators still unable to sit in the same room as the Egypt-held prisoner to ask questions. Abu Ahmed, also known as Mohammed Jamal, is suspected of establishing Islamist training camps in Eastern Libya where militants who took part in the Sept. 11 Benghazi terrorist attack were able to train. Ahmed is not suspected of directly taking part in the attack which left four Americans, including Ambassador Chris Stevens, dead.

For the past five months, the Republican message on foreign policy message has been defined by a single word: Benghazi. Ever since the deadly September 11 attack on the U.S. compound in that Libyan city, Republicans have obsessed over the episode. Mitt Romney made Benghazi a favorite talking point in the 2012 campaign home stretch. More recently, Republicans have invoked Benghazi to shoot down one would-be cabinet nominee, Susan Rice, and delay two others, Chuck Hagel and John Brennan. They have dragged a parade of administration officials, including Hillary Clinton

The al-Qaida extremists bypassed the brightly-colored, high-end synthetic floor coverings and stopped their pickup truck in front of a man selling more modest mats woven from desert grass, priced at $1.40 apiece. There they bought two bales of 25 mats each, and asked him to bundle them on top of the car, along with a stack of sticks.

President Obama´s biggest gaffe yesterday when speaking of California Attorney General Kamala Harris was not in flirtatiously complimenting her as "the best-looking attorney general," but in introducing an observation from the system of beauty into a forum that was about the system of power.What´s that, you say? Irin Carmon does a great job in Salon in laying out the bounds of propriety for when it´s appropriate to talk about a woman´s looks as a general matter.

No one is more preoccupied these days with Hillary Clinton´s 2016 plans than the Beltway political class—not even the former presidential candidate herself. To hear some tell it, her decision will be dispositive for all other Democrats thinking of entering the race. And pundits and reporters aren´t the only ones positing the "The Hillary Factor": No less than the House Democratic whip, Steny Hoyer, told BuzzFeed, “I don´t know that anybody would run against Hillary…. If she runs, she clears the field.” It´s an understandable conclusion, given Clinton´s stature in the Democratic Party and her 70 percent

In the chilling interview, a distraught Ms. Smith, in tears, pleaded for answers and spoke of the efforts to silence her. Ms. Smith first relayed how her son, prior to the attack, requested additional security in advance and warned the State Department: He did tell them, ahead of time, he typed it into his little typewriter over there,

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank
