Joe Biden a "happy
warrior" in debate prep

CBS News, by Nancy Cordes

Original Article

Posted By:NorthernDog, 10/10/2012 7:40:21 PM

WASHINGTON - There's one key difference between Vice President Joe Biden and President Obama when it comes to debate prep: One enjoys it, and the other doesn't. "He's in a good mood, good shape, this is something he's done before, and he knows what he's doing," said former Delaware Senator Ted Kaufman, who has been helping to advise the vice president during the long hours in a Wilmington, Delaware hotel where they are getting ready for tomorrow's debate against Republican Vice Presidential nominee Paul Ryan in Danville, Kentucky. President Obama described debate prep as

Alfred "Plugs" Newman..."What, me worry?"
It's good to see that SeeBS is still lugging those big jugs of water for the Dem ticket!! Truth be told, I think Joe will do better than his boss...but I think Ryan relishes a heated discussion on issues. And I think PR will smile his way through Joe's BS and give him some good whacks. After all, Ryan didn't seem to have any reservations about taking Our Dear Reader to the woodshed.

Why shouldn't Biden be happy? He thinks he's already won 6 debates in the past couple weeks. He may be thrown off-stride by a new venue and a different guy at the other lectern, though. We'll see.

Seriously, posters' cautions are well-advised. We are dealing with Democrats, remember. No chicken-counting yet. We all expect Ryan to do well, but he's also up against the moderator, network, media, and all the usual suspects.

#5: Joe would tell Lenin to stand up to take a bow. He already may have.

Pain cleaned Bidens clock in the last VP debate and he was allowed to lie at will.
Thats the biggest problem Ryan will have to deal with. Debating a liar they does not get called out for his lies.
The guy is delusional just like Obamie. They do really bad and think they did great.
Both are such Bozos, they believe their own BS.

To Joe Biden: Mark Steyn is the Happy Warrior. You, sir, are a braying jackass - a true representative of your party.

Prayers will again be flowing that Mr. Ryan will have peace and calm, and show the world the wisdom and understanding he has earned. And for you, Mr. Biden, justice. Justice only.

President Barack Obama appears with a bull´s-eye on his head in a new English-language magazine published online apparently by Islamist militants, who also urge Muslims around the world to try to hack and manipulate American drones. "Wanted Dead Only. Barack Obama Mass Murderer. Reward: in the Hereafter," reads the full page poster that depicts a darkened image Obama as a target. Elsewhere in the 80-page tome, the magazine calls upon the "Ummah," the community of Muslims all over the world, to hack and manipulate U.S. drones, identifying drone attacks as "one of the utmost

Last year, when Tamerlan Tsarnaev spent six months in the Russian region of Dagestan, he had a guide with an unusually deep knowledge of the local Islamist community: a distant cousin named Magomed Kartashov. Six years older than Tsarnaev, Kartashov is a former police officer and freestyle wrestler—and one of the region’s most prominent Islamists. In 2011 Kartashov founded and became the leader of an organization called the Union of the Just, whose members campaign for sharia law and pan-Islamic unity in Dagestan, often speaking out against U.S. policies across the Muslim world. The group publicly renounces violence.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. — Apparently frustrated by a U.S. Supreme Court decision that struck down an $18 million penalty for a Texas natural gas firm, a federal judge is taking the unusual step of asking the environmental community for suggestions on how to sentence the company in a way that will have "the broadest possible impact." (Snip) In 2004, teenagers broke into the building and dumped mercury there and at a nearby apartment complex, which had to be evacuated. Many residents later were found to have unacceptably high levels of mercury in their blood and showed other symptoms of mercury exposure

Members of the Boko Haram militant group allegedly stormed a military compound and prison in northeastern Nigeria this week, killing dozens and freeing more than 100 prisoners. The coordinated attack is the latest in a series of violent assaults that have taken place since war broke out in 2009 between the extremist Islamist group and the Nigerian military, and observers say neither side shows sign of deescalating. "Heavily armed Boko Haram terrorists" launched the attack, which killed prison guards, policemen, soldiers, and civilians, according to Musa Sagir, the military spokesman in Maiduguri. According to Agence France-Presse, the militants

A long-serving Pennsylvania Democrat has joined Republican colleagues to ask Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel to overturn the "indefensible" decision by the military to designate the Fort Hood massacre "workplace violence" rather than terrorism. "This designation has since resulted in an embarrassing lack of care and treatment by our military for the victims and their families," said Rep. Chaka Fattah (D-Penn.), Rep.

Officials at three publishing houses said Monday that they had been contacted about a planned memoir by Collins, the first active player in any of four major U.S. professional sports leagues to come out as gay. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the proceedings. The officials said Collins was working on the book with Sports Illustrated´s Franz Lidz

BALTIMORE — A long-awaited supermarket is finally coming to West Baltimore. As Christie Ileto explains, a 67,000 square foot grocery store ends what residents have long called the “food desert” in Howard Park. Ask any Howard Park resident where the nearest grocery store is and they’ll tell you: “We have to go across tracks to Food King or Security Boulevard,” said Anthony. “Oh, wow. You’re looking at a good mile either way,” said Donald Sterling. After 14 years without a grocery store, area residents relying on public transit will soon look no further than their front doors.

After the year that Matt Lauer has had, you might call it a win that he managed to sneak into the list of the “100 Most Trusted People in America,” as determined by Reader’s Digest magazine with the help of the Wagner Group, a market research firm. But look a little closer and it’s obvious that the well-documented internecine struggles at the “Today” show have taken their toll on Lauer’s nice-guy image. For one thing, only 41% of the more than 1,000 people surveyed said they trust Lauer. That’s the lowest number for any of the network news

General Motors Co. (GM), the largest foreign automaker in China, said it won regulatory approval to build a Cadillac factory to boost sales of luxury vehicles in the world’s biggest automobile market. The National Development and Reform Commission has signed off on the plant, which will be located in Shanghai’s Jinqiao zone, with construction beginning in June, Dayna Hart, a GM spokeswoman, said in an e-mail today. Investments will total at least 8 billion yuan ($1.3 billion) and annual production capacity will be 150,000 units, she said. The plant would allow GM to avoid paying China’s 25 percent import tariff

Diaa Mutashar al-Issawi was one of several Shiite fighters from Iraq who have trickled into Syria for months, providing a measure of support for Syrian regime forces battling mainly Sunni rebels.

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry was looking to strengthen ties with Russia as he tries to put an end to the dictatorial regime of Bashar al-Assad in Syria, but instead he was met with the coldest of receptions. Russian President Vladimir Putin kept Kerry waiting three hours before their meeting at the Kremlin on Tuesday and continuously fiddled with his pen as the top American diplomat spoke about the ongoing crisis in Syria.

When it first became clear that the CIA’s Benghazi talking points had been altered, many of us viewed the White House as the prime suspect. After all, it served President Obama’s political purposes to claim, at the height of a political campaign in which he was taking credit for the fall of al Qaeda, that the death of a U.S. ambassador was down to spontaneous outrage over a video, rather than pre-planned terrorism. It turns out, however, that the State Department was the prime culprit. It was State that pushed back hard against the original talking points.

Republican lawmakers, who have spent months seeking to tie President Obama to last year’s deadly attack on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, are increasingly focusing their probe on a new target: former secretary of state Hillary Rodham Clinton. The GOP-led investigation of the Sept. 11, 2012, assaults that killed U.S. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and three others now centers heavily on the State Department and whether officials there deliberately misled the public about the nature of the assault. Three State Department officials are scheduled to testify before a House committee on Wednesday about the Benghazi attack and its aftermath.

Former Gov. Mark Sanford completed the trail to political redemption Tuesday with a win over Democrat Elizabeth Colbert Busch to reclaim his old seat in Congress. Sanford defeated Colbert Busch 54 percent to 45 percent, according to full unofficial results. Turnout was heavier than expected, with about 32 percent of the district’s 455,702 registered voters casting ballots. Sanford, who has never lost an election, returns to the 1st District seat he held for three terms from 1995-2001. It’s a remarkable comeback for a man many pundits had written off after his highly publicized affair with an Argentine

There was tragic incompetence, plainly, in the Obama administration’s handling of the Benghazi attacks, and even possibly some political calculation. It is a record that may well come to haunt Hillary Clinton, the first Secretary of State to lose an ambassador in the field in more than three decades, if she runs for president in 2016. But the obvious Republican effort to turn this inquiry into the Democratic (Obama) version of the Iraq intelligence scandal that has tarred the GOP since the George W.

Dickey told analysts on the earnings call that his radio empire’s revenue was down $5.6 million in the first quarter of 2013 on top of a boatload of debt. Why? Parse the weasel words (“the impact of certain things”) and you’ll see that Dickey is blaming one man for the precipitous decline of right-wing talk radio’s profitability: Rush Limbaugh.

Peters was unflinching in his criticism of the “cowardly” Obama administration — and the “establishment media” that aids it. “Is this a national security coverup?” Kilmeade asking, explaining that the witness testimony is expected to say the administration was deceitful in its handling of the situation. “The administration, facing the election, went into panic mode, wanted to contain it,”

British physicist Stephen Hawking has dropped plans to attend a major international conference in Israel in June, citing his belief that he should respect a Palestinian call to boycott contacts with Israeli academics. The University of Cambridge released a statement Wednesday indicating that Hawking had told the Israelis last week that he would not be attending "based on advice from Palestinian academics that he should respect the boycott." University officials said they had "previously understood" that Hawking´s decision was based solely on health concerns — he is 71 and has severe disabilities — but had now been told otherwise by Hawking´s office.
