Obama visits storm victims
while Romney campaigns

Associated Press, by Charles Babington

Original Article

Posted By:Bubbasuncle, 10/31/2012 9:39:36 AM

Washington — President Barack Obama, locked in a fierce re-election bid, is emphasizing his incumbent's role for a third straight day, skipping battleground states to visit victims of Hurricane Sandy in New Jersey, a state he's confident of winning. The president's actions have forced his Republican challenger, Mitt Romney, to walk a careful line and make tough choices. The former Massachusetts governor must show respect for the superstorm's casualties all along the Eastern Seaboard. But Romney can ill afford to waste a minute of campaign time, with the contest virtually deadlocked in

Maybe it's just me, but WHAT is Babington trying to say? Is this article in English because if it is, he lost me. After four Americans were murdered because of the feckless obama's refusal to send aid to defend OUR American Embassy, Mitt Romney MUST "walk a careful line"? Seriously?

Yes, Chuck, and your Obama can't wait till he makes the obligatory ''visit'' to the storm damaged area so he can jet off to Vegas to campaign and get in a little golf.

Not to minimize the destruction and damaged lives from the storm, but visiting the affected areas and making the tough decisions about Benghazi are not the same. He is only a one dimensional, cardboard cutout of a man on these stateside appearances. Playing a president. Inside the situation room where you have to be a president he fails miserably. To my mind parading around now just draws attention to his failure to lead on Benghazi.

Romney is campaigning because he wants to WIN.

Obama is traveling with Christy because the gov invited him. He probably knows it's over so he is looking for a friend.

OTOH, Christy is using Obama to get hundreds of millions for his people and state faster. And methinks that Chris knows Mitt is going to WIN.

Thanks #15 for your post - people were never told by the MSM that Bush ordered buses & trains to transfer people from New Orleans but the female Mayor said "no". It is sad that so many people have homes destroyed & floods in NYC but this happens all over America many times. Vermont lost some of its covered bridges,Nashville was seriously flooded & all over many states there have been floods & the MSM reported about 1/2 a day of this. Sandy can't compare to the San Francisco earthquake,the Chicago fire or Galveston being completely distroyed by a hurricane in 1900. Glad to see Romney campaigning again & bet he's mentioned many times support for NY & NJ.

The AP's headline write is a liar and Babington is an Obama lackey. Romney's events were replaced by drives to collect relief materials for hurricane victims. Eyewitnesses report Mitt didn't even speak to the crowds but was busy coordinating the work teams who were sorting and packing the materials onto trucks.

Exactly #9. When the next storm strikes and Obama is not in office, will the AP headlines criticize him for not visiting the victims?

#20 -- you must mean Kathleen Blanco, who was the governor of Louisiana, and who declined Bush's offer of National Guard assistance until much too late. The mayor of New Orleans at the time of Katrina was Ray Nagin, also an incompetent, who let numerous evacuation opportunities and resources, like school buses, become flooded when the waters rose.

If the Democrats and the Media had the America they wanted, it would be uninhabitable. It would be a den of gays, baby killers, convicts, substance abusers and people living off someone else’s dime.

They want a ruling class / working class America but hide that truth behind the term; "fairness and equality". What a lie!

If Obama is re-elected, you can kiss America goodbye. It will never recover.

Has Obama instructed FEMA to issue EBT cards for $2,000 to everyone? This is the perfect wealth transfer opportunity, being so close to an election. I think Mitt Romney has the better plan to gather goods to send. That way the goods can be distributed by churches and volunteers. Keeps the cash from being wasted.

oblamma IS campaigning. He doesn't care about NJ, NY or America. He's campaigning!!!

If you believe the media, Romney can assist with relief efforts and campaign at the same time. obama cannot. He can only do one thing at a time. Which man would you prefer on your team?

Whether Mitt Romney becomes the 45th president or not, Politico's Jonathan Martin insists that the Republican Party is on the verge of a looming crisis. Sticking with the same overgeneralized racist narrative, it is basically a 'fact' at this point that the GOP's conservative ideology and a lack of diversity will ultimately lead to its downfall. Conversely, the Democratic Party is poised to dominate in future elections. Nevermind that we heard this before in 2006 and 2008, with Clinton acolyte James Carville forecasted 40 years in the wilderness for the GOP. No, Martin insists that demography is destiny,

President Obama’s big rally tonight turned out to be just like his first, opening salvo of the 2012 campaign: a half-empty arena in Ohio. According toRealClearPolitics’ Scott Conroy, there were “empty seats scattered around the upper-level of Nationwide Arena … Four years ago, after all, Obama was easily filling venues larger than that …” The event even featured Bruce Springsteen and Jay-Z, and Obama still couldn’t fill it out. As it turns out, the empty seats didn’t look exactly “scattered.” They looked like substantial portions of the upper bowl of the arena, according to photos tweeted by those in attendance:

Vice President Joe Biden on Saturday struggled to draw 1,000 people at two campaign events in Colorado, one of the most important swing states this election. Republicans in Colorado have said they have not seen this much enthusiasm for the top of a Republican ticket in a decade, which is a contrast from Democrats, who are seeing a diminished level of enthusiasm from 2008. At an event in Englewood, Colorado, Biden's crowd "fell just short of a thousand people"--while an event with Romney drew 18,000--and another Biden event drew 1,200 in Pueblo, Colorado.

Today, speaking in Concord, New Hampshire, trying to look bipartisan, Barack Obama made this incredible statement: “As long as I’m president, I’ll work with anybody.” He can’t be serious. For a start, let’s take a look at immigration reform. In June of this year, Sen. John McCain, who has always championed bipartisanship, said bitterly: “This idea that this president or his people reached out to me is patently false. To somehow allege that I didn’t somehow respond to their overtures, that’s patently false. That’s their narrative, and I understand their narrative, but it’s not substantiated by the facts.”

The Illinois Republican party claims early and absentee voting has precipitously fallen since the 2008 presidential election. According to the numbers, at this point in 2008, there were 260,376 early voters and 304,290 absentee voters. Now, the party maintains, there are 195,064 early voters and 46,232 absentee voters. That's a loss of 57 percent of voters, since the last election. This, the Illinois Republican party says, is a terrible sign for Democrats.

Axelrod argued that Romney's trips to Florida and Virginia are signs that they haven't locked up states where the Republican should be performing well.

The Republican presidential nominee is up 13 points among independents, ahead of Obama 49 percent to 36 percent.

Marathon bombings mastermind Tamerlan Tsarnaev was living on taxpayer-funded state welfare benefits even as he was delving deep into the world of radical anti-American Islamism, the Herald has learned. State officials confirmed last night that Tsarnaev, slain in a raging gun battle with police last Friday, was receiving benefits along with his wife, Katherine Russell Tsarnaev, and their 3-year-old daughter. The state’s Executive Office of Health and Human Services said those benefits ended in 2012 when the couple stopped meeting income eligibility limits. Russell Tsarnaev’s attorney has claimed Katherine — who had converted to Islam —

Tamerlan Tsarnaev is telling no tales. The older of the two brothers who committed the Boston Marathon bombings was likely the one who planned the attack, but when he died in a shootout with police just days after the blasts, his thoughts and motivations vanished with him. But the brain that was home to his angry mind remains, and in this case that may mean something. Tsarnaev was an amateur boxer who won the New England Golden Gloves competition as recently as 2009 and 2010. That speaks to a young man with a healthy sense

In the wake of the Boston Marathon bombings, Mayor Michael Bloomberg said Monday the country’s interpretation of the Constitution will “have to change” to allow for greater security to stave off future attacks. “The people who are worried about privacy have a legitimate worry,” Mr. Bloomberg said during a press conference in Midtown. “But we live in a complex word where you’re going to have to have a level of security greater than you did back in the olden days, if you will. And our laws and our interpretation of the Constitution, I think, have to change.”

Think of it as a horizontal townhouse. Most developers hype the sky-high verticals of their new glitzy buildings, but a new condominium called The Whitman — soon to be home to former First Daughter Chelsea Clinton - has a completely different selling point: It features the longest apartments in the city.

The Patrick administration clamped down the lid yesterday on Herald requests for details of Tamerlan Tsarnaev’s government benefits, citing the dead terror mastermind’s right to privacy. Across the board, state agencies flatly refused to provide information about the taxpayer-funded lifestyle for the 26-year-old man and his brother and accused accomplice Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19. On EBT card status or spending, state welfare spokesman Alec Loftus would only say Tamerlan Tsarnaev, his wife and 3-year-old daughter received benefits that ended in 2012.
