| With the presidential election just two and a half weeks away, it’s no surprise that President Obama is now solely focused on turning out his base. But it’s still somewhat jarring to read stories like today’s New York Times piece on Obama’s closing argument, and Byron York’s report on the same. From the Times: With 19 days left before Americans go to the polls in a closely fought presidential campaign, President Obama is distilling his stump speech into the essential pitch of any political race: Vote.

In 2008, The Bamster could depend on the wholehearted support of African-American church congregations all across the fruited plains.
This year, with his extreme positions on abortion, to include partial birth abortion/infanticide, and "same-sex marriage" widely disseminated, this is evidently not the case.

Just a guess, but perhaps Obama is relying upon close enough election results to litigate.
That's why this election has to be a landslide victory for Romney -- lawyer-proof.

Obama hopes there are still enough folks who like the emperor's new suit of clothes he wears .... folks who refuse to recognize that he is a man skilled in the art of telling lies and creating false hopes. .... He has used and abused black people, as he KEEPS them shackled in poverty, convincing them that he cares. .... He does not encourage his community-organized groupies to reach out for higher goals. He teaches them to hate and to distrust others. .... He cannot afford to lose any who depend on government for their livihood. He needs to keep them in a state of ignorance.

I keep hearing that statement but it's looking more like a Romney landslide to me. Of course, I'm not an expert in these matters and I could be wrong but everything is telling me Romney wins big. A candidate cannot abandon states like Florida and the independent vote and hope to win (unless they have some scheme to steal the election).

We don't need to be bedfellows with the crooks and liars that infest DC, not all of whom arrived with Obama, but certainly flourished under his corrupting influence.

Reply 28 - "All Blacks" voting for Obama??
NO!! Blacks are the most churched voting group in this country and the majority are socially conservative. Both of which will spell trouble for Obama this time around.
BTW, 'all' blacks are not dependent on welfare or free 'Obama phones'. Millions have jobs, work hard to support their families, pay their bills, own IRA's and homes. Blacks in the 47% who get social security, disability or government pension checks are not stupid. This type of thinking is beneath the folks on this forum who’s clever and unique perspectives always make me think and sometimes make me smile. Enough with the stereotypes: it is a mistake to think all blacks have the same political bent.
Yes, most blacks are democrats and voted for Obama because he is black - as did whites. They too have been disappointed by higher unemployment, zero return on savings and, higher food / utility / gasoline prices. Obama voters "hope"d to make history, wanted an improved economy and "change" from media-induced Bush fatigue. Instead, our economy is worse and Obama is still blaming Bush. A few I know have taken the time to do the research they should have done in 2008 and now realize how badly they were duped. On the other hand, churched blacks and whites are not yet comfortable with voting for a Mormon. Frankly, I am also in that number. Since Jesus is not on the ballot this year, I am encouraging friends/family to watch the debates, look for integrity and vote as if your freedom and principles depend upon it.
Among other things, I am asking God to open the eyes of the American people, open the eyes of His people and get black folks off the democrat party plantation. We'll see... :-)

The quasi-official ideology of the U.S. armed forces holds that generals are virtually interchangeable, that individual personalities don’t matter much, that ordinary grunts are in any case more important than their leaders, and that what really counts are larger systems that make a complex bureaucracy function. There is some truth to all of this. But for all of the bureaucratic heft of the services and the heroism of ordinary soldiers, it is hard to imagine the Civil War having been won without Grant, Sherman, and Sheridan—or World War II without Marshall, Eisenhower, Patton, Bradley, Arnold, LeMay, Nimitz, Halsey,

Corkins took a gun from his backpack and fired three shots at building manager Leo Johnson, one of them wounding the unarmed Johnson in the arm before he wrested the gun from Corkins.

On weekends, he left town for his job as an instructor at a flight school, residing in Grapevine with his second wife, Leslie Gardea, who traveled during the week. To keep the women from finding out about each other, he created fake divorce documents on the Internet and filed his first wife´s taxes, marking her as single without her knowledge.

The Supreme Court could soon end one of the federal government´s most archaic practices. Since the 1930s, the Agriculture Department has turned California raisin growers into pawns of its Raisin Administrative Committee, which can commandeer up to half of the farmer´s crop and then pay them little or nothing for the product. Marvin Horne, a 67-year-old raisin farmer in Fresno, Calif., was fined almost $700,000 for refusing to surrender control of much of his harvest to the government committee in 2002.

There are many who scoff at Andrew Cuomo’s chances in a presidential primary campaign, but I am not among them. His name is an iconic Democratic brand, he’s forceful on the stump and a prodigious fund-raiser. Besides, somebody has to win the nomination. Of course, there are hurdles. Saint Hillary is gearing up to run, and there will be a scrum among contenders, probably including Vice President Joe Biden, competing just to be Clinton’s top rival.

Historian James Thomas Flexner referred to George Washington as "the indispensable man." Americans all know he was a general, but have you ever wondered what grade of general? How many stars did Gen. Washington have? In today´s Army, a one-star general is a brigadier; two stars is a major general; three stars is a lieutenant general; four stars is just plain general. During World War II, Congress created the five-star general, the modern rank of general of the Army. There had been an earlier grade that was called general of the Army,

Meanwhile, many of South Korea’s youth were worried about something else.

It’s has everything: love, lust, greed, war, self-sacrifice and redemption. It’s called ‘The Bible.’” Executive: “Could you repeat that? You said ‘The Bible’?” RD and MB: “Yes – we want to retell the Bible for this generation. And we think we can make money doing it.

Since the Shermans of General Patton´s Third Army crossed the Rhine on March 22, 1945, there have been American tanks in Germany. No more, as John Vandiver of Stars and Stripes reports. The U.S. Army’s 69-year history of basing main battle tanks on German soil quietly ended last month when 22 Abrams tanks, a main feature of armored combat units throughout the Cold War, embarked for the U.S. The departure of the last M-1 Abrams tanks coincides with the inactivation of two of the Army’s Germany-based heavy brigades.

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. But I´ve long felt we lack a solid theoretical underpinning for easily discussing these issues, and why precisely it is that

Michelle Obama has admitted that she is already tired of the bangs she first sported in January. The First Lady said in an interview with Entertainment Tonight: ´Bangs are a day-by-day proposition. They´re starting to grow out, get a little irritating.´ Still, she hasn´t let her hairdo woes get her down. ´It´s okay,´ she said after her initial complaint. ´We´ll be good.´ The first indication that her hairstyle was becoming a burden came about last weekend, when Malia, 14, was spotted adjusting her mother´s hair during the White House Easter Egg Roll.

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….
