LA Times endorses
Obama for 2nd term

Agence France-Presse, by Staff

Original Article

Posted By:Photoonist, 10/22/2012 6:05:44 PM

Los Angeles - A major US newspaper, Los Angeles Times, on Monday endorsed President Barack Obama for a second term in the White House, saying he has brought "steady leadership" to the office. "The nation has been well served by President Obama's steady leadership. He deserves a second term," stated an LA Times editorial. It added that while his opponents assailed him as a socialist, "he showed himself to be an adult, less an ideologue than a pragmatist, more cautious than cocky."

Comments:
The LAT has just declared itself to be a published of total fiction in its editorial section. ''Strong leadership?'' ''Adult?'' "Steady?" "Less and idealogue?" They are clearly in some other dimension with a different 0bama or are very, very heavy on some new drug.

The Los Angeles Times was actually a rising star in the 1970s, with excellent reporters, editors, and opinion writers.

After Otis Chandler left, however, the Times went down the tubes, utterly and irredeemably. It's almost unreadable nowadays.

LAT endorsement is simply an admission that it has hidden Obama's failings for over 4 years and that it will continue to do so if BO is reelected. Ideology today, ideology tomorrow, ideology into bankruptcy.

As # 4 has pointed out... this is the newspaper that is hiding a video that might have some pretty bad info on Obama and his close relationship to those who hate Israel.

Now.. what kind of a newspaper would hide a video that might have info on the President?

Ah yes - from the wonderful state of California. sarcasm off and cue the band to play the tune of Hotel California:

On a dark pot-holed highway, cool wind in my hair
The smell of medical marijuana, rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
That weed had quite a bite
There he stood in the doorway;
Governor Jerry Brown
And I was thinking to myself,
"This creep’s both dangerous and a clown"
Then he lit up a candle – PG&E had not been paid
There was pounding at the door,
I thought I heard them say...

Pay your bills, Bankrupt California
It was a lovely place (It was a lovely place)
Now that’s not the case
Plenty of gloom at the Bankrupt California
Any time of year (Any time of year)
Illegal aliens were welcome here

Their mind is Solyndra-twisted, they got the Chevrolet Volts
They are made by nasty, nasty folks – union dolts
How they screwed up the country, without much of a sweat.
Socialism is entrenched now, they wish they could forget

So I called on obamaphone,
It welfare check time
They said, "We haven't had that benefit here – for quite some time"
And those bill collectors - some calling from far away,
Wake you up in the middle of the night
Just to hear them say...

Pay your bills Bankrupt California
It was a lovely place (Such a lovely place)
Now that’s not the case
They were livin' it up but now it’s Bankrupt California
It’s no surprise (it’s no surprise)
They gots alibis

Income tax rates soaring,
Hollyweird in a jam
Taxes aren’t for celebretards, “Don’t you know who I am?”
And in the master's chambers,
Moon Beam still has a feast
Spending money like Mooch on a vacay,
He doesn’t cut back in the least

Last thing I remember, I was
Running for the door
I had to find an Amtrack
To a state that’s not so poor

"We are programmed to deceive.
You can check-out any time you like,
But we now tax you when you leave! "

You have a gift #12 and #15.
That being said. You would think The LA Times being in an area where image is everything that they would want to endorse a winner, not a loser like Obama.

Obama is going to need a job when he loses in November. I am thinking maybe a reality show like "Biggest Loser". Or maybe a show about "nothing".

Sorry if those ideas are already taken, but you guys are the experts.

We at Townhall have been covering this hotly contested Senate race for months and the results are finally in: With 36 percent of precincts reporting, Elizabeth Warren has been declared the next junior Senator from Massachusetts. Warren has never held public office before and the eye-popping $40 million she raised this election cycle evidently proved more than enough to unseat incumbent Senator Scott Brown. This was the most expensive Senate race of 2012 -- by a long shot.

CNN’s Peter Hamby reported that Mitt Romney‘s internal polling showed President Obama leading in Ohio by five percentage points.Per Hamby’s post: The number represented a sharp final bump for Obama in Ohio, a race that had essentially been a tied race through much of the previous week, according to the campaign’s daily tracking. The polling, which also showed a tight race in Pennsylvania, explains why Romney officials decided to send their candidate on last-minute Election Day visits to Cleveland and Pittsburgh.

The Obama and Romney campaigns may be gearing up for a very late night, with one Obama campaign adviser predicting that in Florida alone, "they'll be counting until 2 a.m." The Obama adviser said signs suggest the race is quite tight, though the campaign claimed to be "holding strong" in key battlegrounds like Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. The adviser also said turnout among black voters in Virginia was better than expected, suggesting that could be a problem for Mitt Romney. Republican operatives in Virginia, though, predicted a razor-thin victory for their candidate in the state.

Washington - Early returns on Tuesday in what is anticipated to be a dead even presidential election contained no surprises, as CNN projected President Barack Obama will win his home state of Illinois and eight other races while Republican challenger Mitt Romney will win nine states. All races called so far went as expected after the roller-coaster ride of an election campaign that was buffeted by a superstorm and missteps on both sides. Obama and Romney ran dead even in final polls that hinted at a result rivaling some of the closest presidential elections in history, reflecting the deep political

A week after Hurricane Sandy slammed into the East Coast, a majority of voters said President Barack Obama’s response to the crisis wasn’t a factor in their vote, according to early exit polls. Fifty-five percent of those surveyed, per CBS News’ early exit polling released by radio station WKZO in Kalamazoo, Mich., said Obama’s handling of the storm was a minor factor in their vote or wasn’t a factor at all. Twenty-six percent named Sandy as an “important” factor, and 15 percent said it was the “most important” factor in their decision.

Mitt Romney is leading among independents in both Ohio and Virginia, early exit polls show. In Ohio, the former Massachusetts governor takes 56 percent of self-identified independents, compared with 40 percent for President Barack Obama. That’s a huge decrease for Obama from 2008, when the exit polls found him winning independents in Ohio by 12 points, 52 percent to 44 percent for John McCain. The numbers are similar but slightly tighter in Virginia: Romney takes 53 percent of independents there, according to ABC News exit polls, a 12-point lead over Obama.

As expected, the presidential race is tight in Ohio, where the polls just closed: President Obama is winning women 55 percent to 44 percent in the early CBS News exit poll, while Mitt Romney is leading 52 percent to 46 percent among men. Women made up 51 percent of the electorate, compared to 49 percent among women. Thirty-nine percent of voters so far identified themselves as Democrats, compared to 30 percent calling themselves Republican. Thirty-one percent identified as independent or something else, and Romney has a big edge among this group - 56 percent to 40 percent for Mr. Obama.

As expected, Republican candidate for President, Mitt Romney, won West Virginia’s five electoral votes in Tuesday’s General Election over President Barack Obama. National media outlets called the race in West Virginia shortly after polls closed at 7:30 p.m. President Obama’s fate in West Virginia has never been in question, as he garnered just 60 percent of the democratic vote in the May primary. The other 40 percent of that vote went to Texas federal inmate Keith Judd, who was placed on the ballot in West Virginia.

Early exit polls show Election Day voters are slightly more Republican than in 2008 and broadly concerned about the state of the U.S. economy. Six in 10 voters said the economy is their top issue according to the poll, which was released by The Associated Press and conducted on behalf of a consortium of media companies. Less than a quarter of voters said their families were better off than four years ago — a point seized on by many Republicans as the results leaked out.

Beginning a week of high pressure on gun control, the White House on Monday accused some Republican senators of cowardice for planning to filibuster gun legislation without allowing the full Senate to vote on President Obama’s initiatives. “If they oppose this legislation, have the courage to say so on the floor and vote no,” said White House press secretary Jay Carney. “Don’t block it. Don’t hide behind a procedural action to prevent a vote. That’s the wrong thing to do, and that’s how the president clearly feels.”

Even with the threat of furloughs and government cuts sparked by the sequester, Obama took the time to enjoy a star-studded concert at the White House tonight. The White House celebration of Memphis Soul music in the East Room--which included special guest appearances by Queen Latifah and Justin Timberlake--is likely to rile Obama´s Republican foes.

In the message he issued along with his budget proposal on Wednesday morning, President Barack Obama said he wants to see 4-year-old children in the United States enrolled in public schools. Obama said America needs to start enrolling 4-year-olds to make sure the children are “better prepared for the demands of the global economy” and to help parents save on "child-care costs." After saying the United States needs to “equip our citizens with the skills and training” to fill jobs in manufacturing, energy and infrastructure, Obama said, “And that has to start at the earliest possible age.”

Although the first votes on gun -control legislation have yet to be cast, by some measures the National Rifle Association has already won. Obama’s ambitious plans to ban assault weapons and limit magazine capacities are off the table, while the NRA suggested it could support the most likely outcome -- expanded background checks -- as recently as 1999. The NRA claims that the president’s efforts have triggered a fundraising surge and boosted its membership from 4 million to nearly 5 million.

Liberals descended on Pennsylvania Avenue Tuesday to protest President Barack Obama´s decision to include entitlement cuts in his upcoming budget, delivering 2 million petitions demanding the White House back off its support for the chained CPI. As we reported this weekend, liberals have been seething over the inclusion of the chained CPI in Obama´s budget, which they see as a huge betrayal by the Democratic president.

Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Kathleen Sebelius conceded Monday that implementing the Affordable Care Act has been more complicated and frustrating than the Obama administration expected, largely due to Republicans who have opposed the law´s state-based exchanges and Medicaid expansion. "The politics has been relentless and that continues," Sebelius said. "There was some hope that once the Supreme Court ruled in July, and then once an election occurred there would be a sense that, ´This is the law of the land, let´s get on board, let´s make this work.´"

Myron Ullman, Johnson´s predecessor at JCPenney, takes office as CEO. When Johnson was initially wooed by JCPenney, it was to serve as CEO with Ullman as Chairman. In January 2012, Ullman was unceremoniously removed from the board. Gone with Ullman was any control the Board of Directors had over Ron Johnson and his control of JCPenney resources.
