| Election Day is Tuesday, and this is one election no voter should sit out. Every vote needs to be cast because the stakes are nothing less than the existence of the United States of America as we’ve known it since 1776. In 2008, American optimism prevailed and the nation elected Barack Obama its first black president. He was an understandable choice: He was a likeable man with a golden gift for spellbinding speeches that overrode his thin resume. He promised hope and change and created a vision of national unity, an end to venomous partisan politics

I'm not so sure he 'let America down' as much as he tried 'take America down.' Call me crazy but that is the way I see it.

He's guilty of malfeasance if anything. He was, and is unprepared for leadership on any level. His record speaks for itself.
The mindless celebrities in H'wood are in overdrive, literally destroying their own careers for this fraud. Ever time a celebrity comes out for Obama I add them to my list of movies and tv shows I'll never watch.

#1 is correct, in my opinion. Barack's formative years were spent in Indonesia, where he was exposed to the muslim faith through his step father, lo lo soetoro, who barack never talks about. And in that process, barack learned to hold the U.S. in disdain. His disdain for the U.S. exists to this day, and he shows it every time he curls his upper lip into that sneer that people mistake for a smile. How he ever got elected, and still has any support in the U.S., will baffle political anaylysts and historians for decades to come.

Barack 0bama let America down; he let the four Americans who were murdered in Benghazi down. Actually, he refused to help them even when they asked, and these four brave Americans died, because 0bama let them down. 0bama just gave a speech about having all of us come together and help each other. He did not help the Navy Seals that died, he does not help his own family who live illegally in America and have no money. Even though he is a multimillionaire, his Aunt Zetie lives in government housing living on welfare and food stamps; 0bama's half brother had to ask a friend for money for an operation. 0bama is all talk, and in for himself.

Too many "co-incidences", "mistakes" and "gaffes" to blame such a demonstrable pattern on simple incompetence. Too many puzzle pieces that fit perfectly that form a picture of someone who's intentionally making America weaker.

'He was a likeable man with a golden gift for spellbinding speeches'. Only if he had teleprompters to read from as he delivered canned speeches to stupid people with guilt complexes.
When he had to debate Romney on his own merits he was exposed as an incompetent liar and not the person constructed by the MSM. The NY Times is one of his biggest enablers and as soon as they go broke in the near future, the country will be far better off.

I believe it was clear from the beginning that Obama waqs a far lefty. His past was clearly indicative of these traits. This nation is basically optomistic. Combine this with "white guilt" and Obama was elected.
We should never vote just for race but for the character traits that show over a long period of years. In 2008 I would have proudly voted for Colin Powell, not because of his race but his accomplishments. Since then the General has greatly surprised me and sadly has spent his capital on race rather than character. In a better world Gen. Powell would have been the first black president and a very good president indeed.
Let's just vote for the really qualified and really optimistic fixer ande get on the right path.

Øbama sickens. He is constantly using class warfare as a cover to bamboozle Americans into thinking his tax hikes are a good thing, when the taxes are hiked on rich people. He constantly criticizes rich Americans, while he lives a grand lifestyle that most rich people would be ashamed to live - lavish parties nightly at the white house, chefs flown in from out of state, endless trips and vacations around the world, endless golf. A pure, evil hypocrite. And all this on the taxpayers dime.

I never thought there was anything remotely likeable about him, because he struck me as a total con artist, phony, from the first sanctimonious speech I heard him make. I guess almost half the country is too stupid, lazy or deluded to apply the traditional standards to this guy. Much of the free pass was provided by Karl Rove apparently who cautioned Bush against defending, explaining, or selling policies that the DNC redefined. That passivity enabled the DNC to hang the economic downturn of 2008 on Republicans when the start of it was a result of Democrat pressure for bogus home loans to people who did not qualify. Bush raised the alarm, but did not go to the mat. Enter the blank slate, BHO.

It wasn't that long ago that Ronald Reagan fought tooth and nail to defeat communism even at the risk of Iran/Contra.Now we have a communist president who could get re-elected with illegal alien votes.He blew money like someone wanting to break the country's back.Just in case his initial plans didn't destroy the economy,he has Obamacare as a back up plan to finish business off.
Slews of companies will have 49 employees or employees working 29 hour weeks to avoid paying insurance. It isn't a matter of stinginess like the left believes but razor thin profit margins because of cut throat competition.
Now,Bronco Bahmuh has created another firestorm with free gas.Even if you approve of this,you have to have a strong police presence to keep order.

Respect for authority was one of the key concepts drilled into me as a child by my parents, who came of age in the Great Depression and then endured the rigors and discipline demanded by World War II. The inclination to respect authority stuck with me while many others in the Baby Boomer generation began to raise hell on the streets and inside of families, challenging parental and social authority. Having said that, the corollary of respecting authority is the expectation of being treated with respect by others, all the way up to our national leaders.

Here’s a riddle, but it’s not funny, and I’m almost afraid to contemplate the answer: What do you get when you cross aggressive government attempts to strip citizens of their Second Amendment rights with at least 65 million American gun owners, who have just bought roughly 65 million more guns in only the last four years? Let’s just say, “trouble” could be a euphemism for an answer. (Snip) Why are our government “servants” — elected and otherwise — trying to criminalize law-abiding taxpayers with confiscatory and unconstitutional laws and regulations?

It´s not about guns; it’s about keeping control of your life. The gun control “war” launched against American citizens and the Constitution this past week by the elites in Washington, D.C., is most certainly not about keeping little Bobby and Mary Jane safe in school. (Snip) This past week, with great showmanship, Obama squeezed the kids like triggers; he fired them like little emotional bullets into America’s heart to disrupt your ability to think clearly about what is happening to our country.

If ever a confluence of significant events called Americans to a day of sober reflection, it is Jan. 21, 2013. On that date, we mark the Inauguration of a president; the start of Barack Obama’s second term in the White House. And we also observe the annual Martin Luther King Day memorial to the nation’s revered civil rights leader. Fifty years ago, when King proclaimed his civil rights Dream, it was all but unimaginable that the nation today would not just have a black president, but would be returning him to the White House for a second term.

Ironies abound when you look back over this past week’s White House effort to take firearms out of the hands of most everyone except the armed bodyguards of all the bloviating bigshots who think you’re too dumb or unimportant to have a gun to protect your family. At the order of President Barack Obama, Vice President Joe Biden’s taskforce held a couple of days of talks on various sides of the gun issue. (Snip) A White House presspool report that came to me quoted Biden supporting “universal background checks, not just closing the gumshoe loophole.” Gumshoe loophole?

Today is the day to fight for your life. Within weeks, proposed laws will be decided that would destroy your ability to protect your family from predators, including criminals, and, especially, the political wolves who can force you to live, or die, on their terms. Tyranny, rooted in these gun control proposals, is exactly what the Second Amendment was written to prevent. Each of us has a natural human right to keep and bear arms to preserve life and liberty. History proves that surrendering arms to the state has always been a fatal mistake for populations who disarmed.

Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel´s prime minister, has ordered a campaign shake-up amid plummeting poll figures that show him haemorrhaging support ahead of this month´s election. He is said to have demanded an end to bickering within his Likud party and a bigger role for grassroots workers after successive surveys and a series of embarrassing publicity flops following his decision to merge with Avigdor Lieberman´s Yisrael Beiteinu party. His intervention comes after the latest poll – published by Haaretz newspaper – showed the Likud Beitenu bloc poised to win just 34 seats in the Knesset

Elyria — Some employees could be out of work as Invacare Corporation will have to indefinitely “stop manufacturing, designing and distributing manual and powered wheelchairs and wheelchair components” at its two Elyria facilities until it satisfies federal regulators over its quality and design control systems. (Snip) This all started in 2010 when (John) Kasich (now Ohio’s Republican governor) was on Invacare’s board of directors. The federal government was playing politics and they sent in multiple auditors. They were there for over a year, but normally you have one auditor who comes in for a few weeks.

The results of the presidential election were certainly a sharp disappointment for those on the right, but conservatives shouldn’t be looking for any non-fiscal cliffs to throw themselves from. Nor should Dems see any grand mandate for President Obama’s policies. Obama won small, and the nation and Congress remain as divided as before the election. A Republican comeback in 2014, taking control of the U.S. Senate, would change the picture greatly. By 2014, Americans will have had a much bigger taste of what a second Obama term means in their daily lives

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”

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

Gluten-free diets are all the rage, but they can be dangerous if not done right. What is gluten? It´s the spongy complex of proteins, found naturally in wheat, rye, and barley, that gives elasticity to dough and allows it to rise. When flour is moistened and either kneaded or mixed into dough, gluten molecules form an elastic, microscopic latticework that traps the carbon dioxide produced when yeast ferments, causing dough to inflate like a hot air balloon. Baking hardens the gluten, which helps the finished product keep its shape. Wheat — and gluten — is ubiquitous in the American diet.

A close friend of Lanza’s mother told The News that the troubled boy was a target of relentless bullying when he attended the Connecticut school years ago. “I think Adam felt betrayed by the school and this was his act of revenge,” said Marvin LaFontaine, a friend of Nancy Lanza’s. “Nancy told me he was being picked on at school.
