| A southern California man’s Halloween decoration of a hanged President Obama brought the Secret Service to his door. Eddie Million of Moreno Valley now admits it was a bad idea to hang the president in effigy by a noose as a halloween prank from a tree in his front yard, the Press-Enterprise reported. But he said the whole thing was “just a misunderstanding.” (Snip) Million said his only intent was to put up “something spooky” before his big Halloween party. “A noose is scary.” He bought the Obama mask last year at a clearance sale.

Comments:
Not very smart. I'd like to know if the Secret Service spent a lot of time running down this kind of thing where President Bush was the subject matter. And what are they doing about all the leftist Tweets and other postings calling for either riots or for someone to assassinate Romney?

OK, so that's not a good thing? Good to know.
Anyone else notice how Obama seems to be stuttering more AND losing his voice? By next week he'll only be able to offer up a raspy chirp.

Certainly this is racist. The photograph of President Bush was displayed many times as a bullseye for target practice. Nothing was done. Show any slight against The Dark Won and the Secret Service can't stay away. Hussein-Obama has done more to divide this country on so many levels that it is going to take more than one RR term to fix it in people's minds. It takes a very long time to assimilate different peoples together. It happens over time and what our young grandchildren are doing simply by hanging out with their playmates of any color starts it on its way. Same with sports teams from school through to the majors and to the Olympics. And the Science Fairs and Spelling Bees. It will be a very long time in the future before we see another black US President. And you bunch of black folks out there have only one person to blame (and the thing he rode in on).

Someone hung an effigy of GW Bush in the Sacramento area about five years ago or so. He also received a visit from the Secret Service. However, he got lots of support from lefties who rolled their collective eyes over the matter.

I dunno, I don't much care for Mr. Obama, but somehow the idea of lynching a negro seems to be a rather poor halloween display.
Mr. Obama's being black makes a distinction between the standard 'hanging in effigy' a white politician may have to endure.

Hanging in effigy goes back a very long time, and the Sons of Liberty hung an effigy of an official in Boston in 1765 to protest the hated Stamp Act. It has always been a form of political protest, so to hang an effigy is a form of free speech.
If this man is to be visited by the Secret Service, so too should everyone who ever hangs a person in effigy.

Just hang an empty chair. That might give everyone a laugh. Did you read the article about one of Joe Bidens Secret Service agents molesting a 14 year old girl. Hide your children before you open the door, or better yet call the cops.
Prostitutes, molesters, naked body scans, touching old ladies, feeling up children, sounds a lot like TSA agents. Where does it all end.

Let's see, this guy hangs an effigy and is visited by the S.S. presumably out precaution. Our ambassador to Libya and our facilities there had multiple threats, so much so that the ambassador repeatedly requested additional protection, but received nothing and was told to shut up about it! Yeah, I see how Obama deserves re-election. He's got his priorities just right and is doing, as he said in the debates, being clear on foreign policy and fulfilling his first duty to protect the citizens of the country.

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. In 2008, Obama won independents in the state by

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. President Obama has been hugely unpopular in the Mountain State since he first ran

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.

In a stunning end to one of the most aggressively unsuccessful tenures in retail history, JCPenney (JCP) last night announced that CEO Ron Johnson would be leaving effective immediately. 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.
