| NBC has asked President Barack Obama’s campaign to stop using the network’s footage in a recently released reelection ad, POLITICO has learned. In a letter sent Friday night to Obama campaign manager Jim Messina, NBC told the Obama campaign to cease using network footage in a new 30-second spot, released shortly after Wednesday’s debate, in which Andrea Mitchell is shown on air citing an independent, stating that Mitt Romney’s tax plan would cost $4.8 trillion over 10 years, a source said.

The fact that Team 0bama thought using footage of this Mitchell woman talking was a good idea in the first place is very disturbing and unsettling.

I saw a woman on Fox that asked Ryan a question. According to that woman the dems are using a canpaign commercial showing that clip
but cutting it off before he answers, saying he never answered her. The woman said that is not true, that he did answer her question but the dems are purpously leaving it out. She should demand they retract it.

I'll never know if Obama quit using the NBC spot or if Romney uses any because I have a mute button on my remote in addition to a button that allows me to switch channels.
If I watch ANY political ad, its because someone brought it to my attention with a URL. Otherwise, fuggaboutit.

Ms Mitchell is surely proud to be featured in an Obama commercial. That more than makes up for her report being discredited.

Sean Collier was born to be a cop say those who knew the 26-year-old MIT police officer who was shot dead last night by the suspects in the Boston Marathon bombings. Collier, of Somerville, had only been on the job for a little more than a year, but he had worked as a civilian employee with the Somerville Police Department for about five years and was in line for a job as a police officer there, according to MIT Police Chief John DiFava and Somerville Mayor Joseph Curtatone. “Sean was one of these guys who really

CAMBRIDGE, Mass.– The Inman Square section of Cambridge feels like a small town, with a mix of students and immigrants living in blocks of triple-decker houses, a Boston classic. But on Friday morning, the calm of the neighborhood was shattered. At 8 a.m., police rousted residents from bed, ordering them to evacuate. The brothers Tsarnaev, suspects in the Boston Marathon bombings, lived on Norfolk Street. Police cordoned off the area in a two-block radius and were reportedly searching their apartment for explosives. Crowds of residents, clustered at barricades, kept a nervous watch of the police activity. Before noon, police

Who says beauty doesn´t come with age? Former President George H.W. Bush proved the two go hand in hand after being tapped to announce the 2013 cheerleading squad for the Houston Texans football team. The 88-year-old Bush was all smiles as he hand-delivered roses to the team’s newly selected cheerleaders at the Texans’ training facility in Houston. The frail former leader remained in a wheelchair for the event, but flashed an ear-to-ear grin and American-flag socks that matched the skimpy garments of the cheerleaders as he posed for photos with the bevy of bouncy beauties surrounding him.

(That, I think, would mean Middle Eastern and Muslim, although AAI president James Zogby describes himself as a Maronite Catholic.)

One of the brothers suspected of carrying out the terrorist attack on the Boston Marathon faced deportation in 2009 after being convicted of a domestic violence charge but was allowed to stay, according to a government watchdog. “Tamerlan Tsarnaev, the 26-year-old killed in a wild shootout with police, was a legal U.S. resident who never the less could have been removed from the country after a 2009 domestic violence conviction,” Judicial Watch reports based on an unnamed source. Judicial Watch pointed out another coincidence: the other suspect in the bombing, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, received U.S. citizenship on September 11, 2012,

An increase in seismic activity in the North Atlantic suggests that New England is most at risk of suffering the effects of a tsunami in the near future, according to a Boston College seismologist. Over the past year there have been 12 small earthquakes at the edge of the continental shelf – about 170 miles east of Boston – with the most powerful being a magnitude 4 quake that occurred April 12, 2012, says John Ebel, of Boston College´s Weston Observatory, which studies earthquakes.

More than 500 people were killed in Chicago last year. Yet Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel still found time to berate the fast-food franchise Chick-fil-A for not sharing “Chicago values” apparently because its founder does not approve of same-sex marriage. Two states have legalized marijuana, with more to come. Yet social taboos against tobacco smoking make it nearly impossible to light up a cigarette in public places. Marijuana, like alcohol, causes far greater short-term impairment than does nicotine. But legal cigarette smoking is now seen as a corporate-sponsored, uncool and dirty habit that leads to long-term health costs for society

Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, who died overnight in a dramatic shoot-out with police on the streets of Boston, said he was a Muslim who had given up alcohol and tobacco and worried about a lack of moral standards in the world. "God said no alcohol,” he told a photographer. "There are no values anymore… people can´t control themselves." As of 14.45 GMT on Friday, his brother 19-year-old Dzhokhar was the subject of an intense manhunt in Boston and surrounding areas, after the brothers shot a policeman and injured a university security officer.

A haunting image emerged today showing one of the suspected Boston bombers lurking right behind eight-year-old Martin Richard moments before planting the explosive that killed him. The suspect, named today as 19-year-old Dzhokhar A Tsarnaev, is seen just feet away from youngster while holding a rucksack believed to contain one of two bombs which killed three and injured 176 others. Martin had been waiting to give his father a big hug to congratulate him for finishing the race, but was blown up when the twin blast ripped through the city centre on Monday.

Immediately following news of the devastating explosion of a fertilizer plant in the rural Texas town of West, the nearby Waco Tea Party began organizing efforts to help those affected. The group’s president, Toby Walker, called a local hotel and secured a room for the wives and families of first responders. Wives and mothers began to receive updates from the front lines as they charted a course of action for the following day. Local distribution centers were identified and the conservative networks were activated to volunteer and help operate the collecting, sorting, and distribution of needed items.

Yesterday, the most modest of gun control proposals died in the Senate. It would have expanded background checks to people purchasing weapons at gun shows and online sales, enjoyed 90 per cent support among the public and came on the back of the tragedy at Newtown. Yet, despite all that it had going for it, the Toomey-Manchin bill raised just 54 votes--six short of the number necessary for passage. “This is a pretty shameful day for Washington,” said Obama afterwards. It wasn’t exactly a red letter day for him, either. Why did the no-brainer bill fail? Four reasons:

President Obama angrily blamed the defeat Wednesday of his centerpiece gun-control proposal on lies spread by the National Rifle Association, calling it “a pretty shameful day for Washington.” “The gun lobby and its allies willfully lied about the bill,” Mr. Obama said in the White House rose garden about 90 minutes after the vote. “It came down to politics.” As he spoke, Mr. Obama was surrounded by family members of victims of the Newtown, Conn., school shooting. Also with him was former Rep. Gabby Giffords of Arizona, wounded in an assassination attempt.

While the media are bearing the brunt of public skepticism over the handling of the Boston bombing, the behavior of government is also eroding public trust. Yesterday´s promised but cancelled news briefing is just one symptom. Andrew McCarthy of PJM notes that "Misinformation rather than enlightenment has been the order of the day in the investigation of Monday´s terrorist bombing of the Boston Marathon," and that part of it is the natural outgrowth of the desire of investigators to keep the details of their investigations secret, so as not to alert suspects.

Mark Kelly, the astronaut husband of former congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, on Thursday upbraided senators who voted against gun legislation by saying they voted “out of fear.” ”If that vote had been a secret ballot, I bet you it would have passed with 80 votes,” Kelly told reporters. He was referencing the compromise authored by Sens. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) and Pat Toomey (R-Pa.) to expand background checks for gun buyers. It failed to advance in the Senate, with a vote Wednesday afternoon of 54 to 46.

After all the controversy – it was too much, and too expensive; it would be marred by protests – this morning’s funeral for Lady Thatcher in London was a splendid and memorable affair, which did her memory, and her country, proud. It was a moving, dignified and pitch-perfect occasion: unmistakably British, and a fitting send-off for the country’s greatest post-war prime minister.

Washington — President Barack Obama says the Senate’s opposition to a bill that would have expanded background checks for gun buyers marks a “shameful day” in Washington. He says a minority of senators decided “it wasn’t worth it” to protect the nation’s children. Obama spoke in the Rose Garden shortly after the Senate vote rejecting a bipartisan effort to expand federal background checks to more firearms buyers. (Snip) The president pinned the blame for the measures failure, though five Democrats also opposed the plan. He also said the gun lobby and its allies “willfully lied” about background check bill.

Misinformation rather than enlightenment has been the order of the day in the investigation of Monday’s terrorist bombing of the Boston Marathon. The anxiety stemming from the attack and the stream of inaccurate news about it is further freighted, moreover, by the FBI’s confirmation that two letters addressed to top political officials — President Obama and Senator Richard Wicker (R., MS) — tested positive for ricin, a deadly poison. As noted below, a man identified as Kenneth Curtis of Tupelo, Mississippi, has reportedly been arrested in connection with the mailings. Early this afternoon, massive confusion
