| The ongoing collapse of President Obama's campaign may lead to some extraordinary stunts during Monday's last debate, but no matter what he tries, it is very unlikely that the president can reverse the enormous momentum behind Mitt Romney's campaign. (One data point. Congressman John Campbell, a frequent guest on my radio show, polled his district this week. It is California's 45. John McCain carried it by 4.7 points in 2008. Mitt Romney is almost 20 points ahead in this cycle. Campbell reports that this sort of result is showing up across the country.) The nation is simply finished with a president

My only hope is that when he gets done crapping on this country there won't be anything left on the roll and nobody comes to his rescue. Other than that, I wish him a swift and safe journey out of our lives.

obama is running commercials in California now. He would not do so if the state was in the bag.
obama will lose this election and we will not see much of him afterward as he was just a posuer and is not needed anymore by the democrat party. We do not see John Kerry, Al Gore, Jimmy Carter much. The Clinton's will fade away as well as they have both shown how corrupt and incompetent they both are and the democrat party will need to focus on younger people and those above are in their 60's and above.
Hugh Hewitt lives on politics. He shoots out way too much facts and figures in a short period of time in his radio broadcast that it becomes confusing. When he is interviewing someone he will go back and forth with the guy and when the guest is making some point then Hugh will start talking about sports all of a sudden or religion. He doesn't stay focused in my opinion. He also will not allow callers to say just obama. He wants you to say President then obama.
I cannot ever say that! as it legitimizes the fraud that is obama.
In short Hugh is a republican inside the beltway guy. He provides a good show with many interesting things but this is a game between democrats and republicans to him too much of the time.

Traveling in Pa. farm country today in I saw a few of the dreaded O/B signs near cornfields. What are farmers thinking? Do they get farm subsidies or are they Pigford settlement farmers?
I can only surmise that the other dreaded signs were posted by college profs or teacher union members.
A few sparse signs for the collapsing pResidency, but tons of signs for R and R, and Tom Smith who will soon defeat that creepy Bob Casey in Pa.

The only surprise to me is that it took many people four years to figure this out. One speech from barry soetoro back in 2007 and I completely understood the new definition of the word, "zero." If it were not for his skilled puppet masters who held ultimate power, barry would have collapsed much earlier.

Who knows what to believe anymore. Obama supposedly had a record sept.,fundraising.Then this week one in 75 Americans donated to him and now he's taken out a loan from BoA for $1.5 million.Is this burning cash or what. Meanwhile the RNC which previously had a hard time raising money has 10's of millions in the bank.
Donations should be a better predictor of elections than Halloween masks but who knows anymore.
I hope Hewlitt is right but he's a very over the top optimist.

We must be careful. The wildly optimistic articles can lead us to complacency. Although the momentum is in the revers of the 1948 Dewy/Truman election and circumstances are different, the shocking overconfidence is the same. Dewy's lead had slipped from a summer lead of 14% to just 5% a few weeks before election day- We supposedly now are showing a 7% lead- barely out of the margin of error. Look at it this way, if the polls were Øbama 7% lead, we could say, that's really only about a 4% lead considering the media slant advantage and yet the democrat cheating advantage gives him a full 2%. Now, Romney at 7%, is really only a five% lead taking away the 2% cheat advantage- that's back in the margin for error in left wing media reporting. It's gonna be a squeaker, if we win at all. Fight!

I don't understand the liberals!
If they want their power to go forward they would be for all life and not against it. They lean more to the selfish, those unwilling to sacrifice their time/bodies to God's will and in the end, these "wanted" babies will take care of them, "if" they are taught God is real/true, able to deliver they from all evil.
If Obama gets his wish, their party will soon be just as extinct/deceased as those unborn babies.
They are truly "selfish" and want no responsibility, yet they demand it of others.
God's gift to man is to be involved in their existence, giving life through His divine Love/Grace!
The Democrat/Liberal platform denies God His place in this country. They also deny the power of God's people - Israel!
All that the Libs have to offer is "more of the same"! Obama has nothing "new" to offer US!
Obama has no agenda he is willing to preach though. He just maligns/lies constantly aout anyone who disagrees with him.
Once Obama is done and gone to Hawaii, will we finally find out who was in control of the teleprompter and what his/her agenda really is?
Obama is just the "spokesman" for socialism and possibly even communism. He has never portrayed a man who sincerely loves America and honors our tradition and constition!
Enough is enough. Say goodbye, Obama!

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.

In a letter to John McCain, Lindsey Graham, Marco Rubio, and Jeff Flake, the four Judiciary Committee members express concern that an immigration reform bill will be rushed through Congress without proper oversight in the form of hearings and robust debate. They note that the Gang has “secretly met for months” without consulting

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. Horne, who has been growing raisins for more than 40 years,

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. The scenario, then, is daunting but doable — or at least it was,

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.

Here’s one scenario: Producers Roma Downey and Mark Burnett: “Hi, we want to produce a story that appeals to all age groups. 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. We’ve done a lot of market research —there is no competition out there.”

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

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
