| Don't misunderstand me, there's no question that abortion and other social issues are perfectly valid topics of discussion at a vice presidential debate. But over and over and over again, during the GOP primary debates, we watched the media obsess over divisive social issues that rank somewhere around zero on the list of voter priorities in this election. (Snip) After foolishly running on Big Bird for five days, the Obama campaign made a wicked left-turn this morning with a hastily arranged conference call. You can read about it here. The call was all about pushing the media

Martha will be happy to ask any question you want, Joe. Just send it over like the rest of them.
Oh, and if she hadn't already done so, I guess she thanks the Obamas for the little trinket they left at her wedding.

The Founders did not envision a massive bureaucratic machine toying with social issues as something devoutly to be wished for.(sorry to leave the preposition at the end of the sentence)
Well... actually they envisioned something like that, and they warned us about totalitarianism. This is because they studied history, and political systems IN history, not just theoretical systems such as a Marxist utopia.
Wouldn't it be nice if our Candidates would state the truth, that social issues are not supposed to be the purvue of the Federal Government.

Martha will probably do whatever the Obama camp wants. After all, the Obamas were at her wedding to Julius Genachowski, Obama-appointed head of the FCC, in 1991.
They're social friends, so why not talk social issues?

Government experts believe there is still a risk of people contracting variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (vCJD) through blood transfusions, as about 30,000 Britons are likely to be carrying the brain-wasting illness in a dormant form — double the previous estimate. They warn the current total death toll of 176 from vCJD could rise more than five-fold as the infection has not been wiped out of the blood supply like it has been in the food chain. Frank Dobson, a former health secretary, tonight urged ministers to develop a nationwide screening programme for blood donors to stop future infections of vCJD,

WASHINGTON- Thirty-five years after the Supreme Court set the terms for boosting college admissions of African Americans and other minorities, the court may be about to issue a ruling that could restrict universities´ use of race in deciding who is awarded places. The case before the justices was brought by Abigail Fisher, a white suburban Houston student who asserted she was wrongly rejected by the University of Texas at Austin while minority students with similar grades and test scores were admitted.

(Snip) McCain and Biden have shared a contentious political relationship since the 2008 presidential election, when they were members of opposing tickets. McCain has been a sharp critic of the Obama administration´s handling of domestic and foreign affairs, but the two men joked and flattered each other on stage. "He´s the most likable and most frustrating one I´ve dealt with, and the best vice president," McCain told the crowd.

On the night of the West fertilizer plant explosion, the American Red Cross quickly arranged to open a shelter at a local campground. Not a single person showed up. That fact is a reflection of how tight-knit the West community is, said Mark Felton, executive director of the Red Cross’ Heart of Texas chapter. Most people affected by the tragedy were quickly offered shelter by friends or family, and that’s where the majority of them remain, he said. Nancy Shelton, for example, said the bedroom ceiling of the home she leases in West fell in after the explosion.

Scott Burgess, 51, took one last look out the back door of his home in West on April 17, wondering about the embers falling in the blackness like an impromptu meteor shower. His wife, Geri, swung her purse over her shoulder and reached for her cellphone. A neighbor had warned them about the fire at the nearby fertilizer plant, and they were preparing to leave. But in an explosive flash, their view of the world would change forever. Glass ripped into Scott’s left eye, rendering it sightless and causing agonizing pain.

WASHINGTON - President Barack Obama joked Saturday about his plans for a radical second-term evolution from a "strapping young Muslim Socialist" to retiree golfer, all with a new hairstyle like first lady Michelle´s. Obama used this year´s annual White House Correspondents´ Association dinner to poke fun at himself and some of his political adversaries, asking if it was still possible to be brought down a peg after 4 1/2 years as commander-in-chief. Entering to the rap track "All I Do Is Win" by DJ Khaled, Obama joked about how re-election would allow him to unleash a radical agenda. But then

Washington - America´s blacks voted at a higher rate than other minority groups in 2012 and by most measures surpassed the white turnout for the first time, reflecting a deeply polarized presidential election in which blacks strongly supported Barack Obama while many whites stayed home. Had people voted last November at the same rates they did in 2004, when black turnout was below its current historic levels, Republican Mitt Romney would have won narrowly, according to an analysis conducted for The Associated Press.

President Obama´s weekly remarks: Hi, everybody. Our top priority as a nation must be growing the economy, creating good jobs, and rebuilding opportunity for the middle class. But two months ago, Congress allowed a series of automatic budget cuts to fall across the federal government that would do the opposite. In Washington-speak, these cuts were called the “sequester.” It was a bad idea then. And as the country saw this week, it’s a bad idea now. Because of these reckless cuts, there are parents whose kids just got kicked out of Head Start programs scrambling for a solution.

President Barack Obama on Saturday called on the US Congress to end the "reckless" and "dumb" budget cuts known as the sequester, and to adopt a plan of "smarter" cuts to fuel economic growth. Obama´s weekly address comes after Congress on Friday overwhelming approved a bill putting furloughed air traffic controllers back on the job, thus undoing one of the most high-profile effects of the so-called sequestration, the $85 billion in automatic budget cuts that took effect March 1 and hit federal spending across the board.

WASHINGTON — Russian authorities secretly recorded a telephone conversation in 2011 in which one of the Boston bombing suspects vaguely discussed jihad with his mother, officials said Saturday, days after the U.S. government finally received details about the call. In another conversation, the mother of now-dead bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev was recorded talking to someone in southern Russia who is under FBI investigation in an unrelated case, officials said. The conversations are significant because, had they been revealed earlier, they might have been enough evidence for the FBI to initiate a more thorough investigation of the Tsarnaev family.

Florida GOP senator Marco Rubio seems well-meaning enough. I know we both share, as second-generation conservative Americans, a common passion for this great land of opportunity. But when it comes to comprehending the real agenda of the open-borders zealots he’s allied himself with, Rubio doesn’t have a clue. And his abject ignorance threatens all of us who cherish American sovereignty and exceptionalism. On Fox News’ The Sean Hannity Show Tuesday night, Rubio defended his Gang of Eight “immigration reform” bill and insisted that we could and should have a system in place that vets
