Why Obama Cannot Be Re-Elected
From the National Review Online: A U.S. ambassador is missing
and his diplomatic team is desperately fighting off terrorist attacks.
Our commander-in-chief and his national-security team in Washington are
listening to the phone calls from the Americans under attack and
watching real-time video from a drone circling overhead. Yet the U.S.
military sends no aid. Why?
On September 11, at about 10 p.m. Libyan time (4 p.m.
in Washington), Ambassador Chris Stevens and a small staff were inside
our consulate in Benghazi when terrorists attacked. The consulate staff
immediately contacted Washington and our embassy in Tripoli. The White
House, the Pentagon, the State Department, and numerous military
headquarters monitored the entire battle in real time via the phone
calls from Benghazi and video from a drone overhead.Our diplomats fought for seven hours without any aid from outside the country. Four Americans died while the Obama national-security team and our military passively watched and listened. The administration is being criticized for ignoring security needs before the attack and for falsely attributing the assault to a mob. But the most severe failure has gone unnoticed: namely, a failure to aid the living.
By 4:30 p.m. Washington time, the main consulate building was on fire and Ambassador Stevens was missing. In response, the embassy in Tripoli launched an aircraft carrying 22 men. Benghazi was 400 miles away.
At 5 p.m., President Obama met with Vice President Biden and Secretary of Defense Panetta in the Oval Office. The U.S. military base in Sigonella, Sicily, was 480 miles away from Benghazi. Stationed at Sigonella were Special Operations Forces, transport aircraft, and attack aircraft — a much more formidable force than 22 men from the embassy.....
Fighter jets could have been at Benghazi in an hour; the commandos inside three hours. If the attackers were a mob, as intelligence reported, then an F18 in afterburner, roaring like a lion, would unnerve them. This procedure was applied often in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. Conversely, if the attackers were terrorists, then the U.S. commandos would eliminate them. But no forces were dispatched from Sigonella. http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/331125/first-aid-living-bing-west#
If Obama is re-elected, it will be open season on diplomats and ambassadors because the terrorists know that the U.S. will not come to their aid.
Just remember, losing 4 men is not optimal.
October Trump Surprise?
From the U.K. Daily Mail:
Donald Trump is to claim that he has unearthed divorce papers of Michelle Obama and the President, according to a respected financial pundit with links to the tycoon.
It is alleged that the eccentric real estate mogul will claim that the documents show the First Lady and the President were at one point in their two decades of marriage seriously considering splitting up.
Trump set the hare running on Monday by claiming that he was set to make an announcement on Wednesday that would be ‘bordering on gigantic' and that it would ‘possibly’ change the Presidential race.

I'm Shocked Obama Cheats (Well, Not Really Shocked)
Once again, the Democrats break the law while the GOP follows it.
From the New York Post: The Obama re-election campaign has accepted at least one foreign donation in violation of the law — and does nothing to check on the provenance of millions of dollars in other contributions, a watchdog group alleges.
Chris Walker, a British citizen who lives outside London, told The Post he was able to make two $5 donations to President Obama’s campaign this month through its Web site while a similar attempt to give Mitt Romney cash was rejected. It is illegal to knowingly solicit or accept money from foreign citizens.
Walker said he used his actual street address in England but entered Arkansas as his state with the Schenectady, NY, ZIP code of 12345.
“When I did Romney’s, the payment got rejected on the grounds that the address on the card did not match the address that I entered,” he said. “Romney’s Web site wanted the code from the back of card. Barack Obama’s didn’t.”....
In September, Obama’s campaign took in more than $2 million from donors who provided no ZIP code or incomplete ZIP codes, according to data posted on the Federal Election Commission Web site.
The Obama campaign said the FEC data was the result of “a minor technical error.”....
But not only did Walker’s Obama donations go through, but he said he began receiving two to three e-mail solicitations a day to give more. The e-mails asked for $188 or more.
If Walker gave $188, his total contribution to Obama would be $198 — less than the $200 threshold at which campaigns have to identify the donor to the FEC.
“I have not had any e-mails asking for proof of identity,” Walker said.
The GAI report found the Obama campaign Web sites do not ask donors to provide their three-digit card-verification value, or CVV, numbers to ensure they are the legitimate holders of the card. Romney’s campaign asks for such information, which is considered a standard security measure. http://www.nypost.com/p/news/national/bam_blind_eye_to_illegal_donors_8SWotytr1RvbhyDCRyyrEL

Obama: The Welfare President
Obama's legacy: Welfare president.
Here Come The Liberal Excuses, As The UN Monitors Election
Sounds like the liberals are throwing in the towel in the upcoming election and are beginning to come up with excuses as to why their ponies (candidates) will lose.
From the Hill: United Nations-affiliated election monitors from Europe and central Asia will be at polling places around the U.S. looking for voter suppression activities by conservative groups, a concern raised by civil rights groups during a meeting this week. The intervention has drawn criticism from a prominent conservative-leaning group combating election fraud.
The Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), a United Nations partner on democratization and human rights projects, will deploy 44 observers around the county on Election Day to monitor an array of activities, including potential disputes at polling places.
Liberal-leaning civil rights groups met with representatives from the OSCE this week to raise their fears about what they say are systematic efforts to suppress minority voters likely to vote for President Obama....
The request for foreign monitoring of election sites drew a strong rebuke from Catherine Engelbrecht, founder and president of True the Vote, a conservative-leaning group seeking to crack down on election fraud.
“These activist groups sought assistance not from American sources, but from the United Nations,” she said in a statement to The Hill. “The United Nations has no jurisdiction over American elections.”
The observers, from countries such as Germany, France, Serbia, Belarus, Ukraine and Kazakhstan, will observe voting at polling places and other political activity. http://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/263141-international-monitors-at-polling-places-draw-criticism-from-voter-fraud-group
It is embarrassing to have the UN monitoring the election. the UN is incapable of doing anything except spending other people's money and raping young kids.
And this is the start of the excuses if Obama and Democrats lose- voters were suppressed into not voting.
The only reason a person is not voting is if they are not capable of voting or they are lazy. No other excuses will fly.
Welcome to Obama's world.

When You Find Yourself In A Hole, Stop Digging
So says General Tommy Franks as he endorsed Mitt Romney.
From jsonline:
Retired Army General Tommy Franks has a simple answer about why he’s backing Republican Mitt Romney for president.
“We only got two choices,” Franks said Saturday during a telephone interview from Green Bay, where he addressed the Big 10 VFW Conference. “We can stay with what we’ve got or we can make a change … When you find yourself in a hole stop digging.”
Franks is among more than 300 retired officers who comprise Romney’s “military advisory council.” Franks led U.S. Central Command and oversaw the U.S. response in Afghanistan and Iraq after the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks.
“I’m a pretty serious independent,” Franks said, noting that Bill Clinton gave him his promotion to general and that he served under George W. Bush.
In explaining why he seeks change, Franks said, “I think our troopers and military and veterans deserve to have the best equipment in the world, best manpower, best training in the world. They deserve respect and love at home and they deserve to be feared abroad. It seems to me that is what military leadership is all about. It seems to me leadership comes from the front, not the back.”
He said in Iraq, the Obama administration failed to “get the status of forces agreement that would have eased transition from our forces, our security, to the Iraqi forces and security. The result of that was a knee jerk, a snap reaction to the (U.S.) forces leaving.”
Franks faulted the administration for announcing a timetable for withdrawal of U.S. troops in Afghanistan by the end of 2014.
“I’m not a fan almost anywhere of announcing to the enemy of what I’m going to do … if you put it in very simplistic terms that is what we have done,” he said. “By announcing date certain there is a theory that will force our friends to take their destiny. Maybe there is a value in that argument. Downside, it also tells our enemies what we’ll do and allows them to plan for our intended actions.”
On last month’s attack in Benghazi, Libya, that left four Americans dead, including the ambassador, Franks said it was important to gather all of the details.
“I would side with President (Barack) Obama in saying we ought not to announce whose fault it is and we ought not to say what we’re going to do about it until we get enough information,” he said.
But Franks faulted the administration’s handling of the Benghazi issue.
“I describe it as feckless,” he said, as he urged the president to “stand up, here is who I am, here is what I said, and not all of it went well. I’m still waiting for the president to make this statement.” http://www.jsonline.com/blogs/news/175073331.html
Can't improve on what the General said.

Obama Coming Back To Vegas For His Tiger Woods Moment
President Obama is coming back to Las Vegas for another late night, Tiger Woods moment, romp.
From the LVRJ: President Barack Obama will have a rally Wednesday might in Las Vegas as part is a battleground tour across the country, his campaign announced Saturday....
On Wednesday, Obama will kick off a two-day campaign blitz across six battleground states, his campaign said.
After leaving Iowa, Obama will stop in Denver then attend a "late-night grassroots event" in Las Vegas, his campaign said. http://www.lvrj.com/news/obama-to-visit-las-vegas-on-wednesday-175076801.html
I am willing to bet that after Obama leaves office, it will come out that the reason why Obama spends so many nights in Las Vegas, away from Michelle and the kids, is because Obama is having Tiger Woods moments.
Just speculation, but other than the White House and maybe Camp David, what other city has hosted Obama at night or had evening appearences more than Las Vegas?

Bias Alert: Channel 3 Las Vegas
I was watching the Channel 3 News at 9 AM this morning and they were crowing how Michelle Obama was coming to visit Las Vegas next Friday, but no one knew what time or where she was going to talk.
The anchor idiot then said, well, if we knew when Mitt Romney would be here we would be sure let the viewers know when that was going to happen.
Well, if they looked at this morning's newspaper, the Las Vegas Review Journal, they would have seen that Romney and Paul Ryan are going to be at the Henderson Pavilion on Tuesday at 12:15 or so.
Well, about 5 minutes later, in "Breaking News" the Channel 3 anchor idiot then told us the details about Romney's visit, after, I am sure, more than a couple of phone calls came in to tell them about it. Ooops.
The cowards over at Channel 13 news in Las Vegas, last night, did not have information on the Romney visit on their 11:00pm news. I am sure it was available to them. But Channel 13 is probably the worst station when it comes to media bias in the Valley, so it would come as no surprise that they would not mention it.
Part of media bias is not only what they report it is also what they don't report.
So, once again, the liberal media bias in Las Vegas strike it's ugly head.

Another Sign Obama Is Going To Lose
In the teacher's parking lot at the school I teach at in Las Vegas, there are more pro Mitt Romney, anti Obama bumper stickers than pro Obama bumper stickers.
Imagine that, at our school, there are more teachers, and teachers are known for their liberalism, are showing their outward support for Romney than Obama.
Of course the tally is 3-1, but still....
But I have also noticed, driving down the Valley's freeways and streets, I hardly see any Obama bumper stickers on the cars out there, especially compared to 2008, where you couldn't swing a dead cat without hitting a car that had an Obama bumper sticker on it, in 2008.
I have also seen several Mitt Romney lawn signs out there and none for Obama.
What that tells me is there is a lack of enthusiasm for Obama this time around and that cannot be good.
Obama, on a warm Sunday afternoon, only draws about 6,000 people a few weeks ago at a rally just before the first debate and Joe Biden, yesterday, only draws a couple of hundred people here in Las Vegas at a rally and most of them were culinary workers.
This cannot be good for the Obama campaign.

Obama Thinks Students Are Stupid
I heard an Obama campaign radio commercial aimed at young college aged and seniors in high school on 107.9, Jack FM this afternoon.
According to the half stoned youngster on the commercial, all you have to do is tax the rich and cut out oil tax breaks and subsidies and presto, their college education is paid for.
Anybody who believes that, well I guess would be an Obama voter and not a very smart one at that.
And that is what Obama is counting on. Stupid and uniformed voters voting for him.
I don't think Obama is going to get too many voters from that station though, it's an Oldie Station and the high school senior and college aged students are not listening to that station.

No Sh*t, Sherlock
From the Daily Telegraph: President Barack Obama, during an
interview to be shown on Comedy Central, has responded to a question
about his administration's confused communication after the Benghazi
attack, by saying: 'If four Americans get killed, it’s not optimal.'
Obama was speaking to Jon Stewart of The Daily Show for a programme to be broadcast tonight.
Stewart, a liberal whose young audience is full of potential voters prized by the Obama campaign, asked the president about his handling of the aftermath of the Benghazi attack.
Ambassador Chris Stevens, diplomat Sean Smith and security men and former U.S. Navy SEALs Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods were killed by terrorists on the 11th anniversary of 9/11 - an attack that the White House initially blamed on a spontaneous protest about an anti-Islam movie made in California.
Stewart asked: 'Is part of the investigation helping the communication between these divisions? 'Not just what happened in Benghazi, but what happened within.
'Because I would say, even you would admit, it was not the optimal response, at least to the American people, as far as all of us being on the same page.'
Obama responded: 'Here's what I’ll say. If four Americans get killed, it’s not optimal.

Joe Biden Admits Obama Is Losing Election
Quoting from Channel 13 News from Las Vegas, Biden said the following "And with you help, we will come back, We will win, We will win Nevada, We will win the election".
So, they will come back... Tells me that their pollsters are telling them that they, the Democrats, are losing.
From the mouth of babes, or Joe Biden.

Winners: Depends Loser: Fat Moderator
I've watched a little a bit of the debate and then watched the response from both the liberal and conservative channels.
The liberals all said Obama won and the conservatives said Romney won. Both sides wished their candidate had said some things when they didn't and both sides claimed the other lied.
Both sides had a dim view of Candy (I ate too much candy when i was a child) Crowley. The bits I saw and seeing how the people complained about her, it is clear she wanted this debate to be about her instead of letting the candidates fight out amongst themselves. It was clear this is what she wanted to do even before the debate started as many stories centered around her and her wide waist.
So, another debate done and only 1 more left to listen to Frick and Frack.

These Are Not Undecided Voters And Obama Looks Like A Giraffe

| Obama And Friend At Debate |
And Obama looks like a damn giraffe sitting there on the chair.
This debate is a total farce. Hopefully, it will get better.
I Wonder How Many People Will Be Swayed By This?
From The Weekly Standard: Honey Boo Boo endorsed President Barack Obama last night on Jimmy Kimmel's TV show: http://www.weeklystandard.com/blogs/honey-boo-boo-endorses-obama_654673.html
You know some dumb idiot will say, "Aww, isn't she cute, she likes Obama so because Honey Boo Boo likes him I'm going to vote for Obama".
So, this is what presidential politics has come down to? Endorsements from a trailer trash toddler?
Geez.

White House Throws Hillary Under The Bus: What Will Bill Do?
This could get interesting.
From Michelle Malkin:
At last night’s debate, Joe Biden said “we weren’t told” that the Benghazi consulate had requested additional security in the days leading up to the attack on the 9/11 anniversary. Today the White House is making sure everybody realizes that by “we,” Biden was referring only to the White House and not the administration as a whole. The ball of blame has been overhead smashed back to Hillary Clinton’s side of the court:
here with her.” http://michellemalkin.com/2012/10/12/hillary-bus-biden/
So, if Hillary did get thrown under the bus by Obama and Biden, will Bill Clinton defend his wife against the administration? Will he stop campaigning for President Obama?
Or will Obama make an offer Bill cannot refuse (like firing Hillary and allowing her to stay at home more often with Bill) and will he bite the bullet, shut up and continue to campaign for Obama?
It will be interesting to see how this plays out because you are dealing with 4 people (Obama, Bill, Hillary and Joe) who have super big egos and no will admit they are wrong.

“Biden speaks only for himself and the president and neither of them knew about the requests at the time,” Rhodes said, according to Foreign policy.
“These kinds of issues are handled in the State Department by security officials,” White House spokesman Jay Carney said during Friday’s press briefing.
Security matters “are decided at the State Department,” he said…

Moderator Bias In The Debates: No, That Cannot Be
From the Washington Examiner:
A vice presidential debate analysis from a conservative media watchdog group found that debate moderator and ABC correspondent Martha Raddatz asked 19 pro-Obama questions Thursday night, but just 12 skewed Republican, a 40 percent to 25 percent margin.
"Any moderator whose weighted questions favor liberals over conservatives by a 19-12 margin is biased," charged Brent Bozell, president of the Media Research Center.
But he was quick to add that Raddatz, a virtual expert on the Iraq and Afghan war and also a White House correspondent, showed no bias in her specialty.
"The record shows it is not as bad as conservatives think, and not as good as liberals are stating," he said.....
According to their analysis provided to Secrets, of the 48 questions and follow-ups from the moderator, "19, or 40 percent, incorporated a pro-Obama/Biden or anti-Romney/Ryan agenda, vs. 25 percent or 12 questions that skewed in the other direction and 35 percent or 17 questions were neutral or purely information-seeking," they said
"Raddatz showed almost no bias in her foreign policy questions, which split down the middle: eight pro-Romney vs. seven pro-Obama, not counting the neutrals. But on domestic issues, especially on the budget and taxes, she joined Joe Biden in pounding on Paul Ryan, with a remarkable dozen questions that incorporated liberal campaign themes, compared to just four based on a conservative premise, a stark three-to-one liberal tilt," said the group.
Bozell said "she deserves a good deal of credit for taking Joe Biden to task for the Obama Administration's failures in Benghazi. She asked the hard, pointed questions that the administration has managed to dodge for weeks. Her conduct during the opening segment was refreshing and professional. http://washingtonexaminer.com/raddatz-favored-biden-40-to-ryan-25/article/2510571#.UHpjeq48VXs
Being a moderator at a presidential debate is both an honor and pain in the butt. No matter how hard you try, you are going to piss someone off.
However, Raddatz did show her bias with some of her questions and her failure to keep Biden under control. Biden acted like a complete jackass/thug/bully and she never once mentioned asked or told Biden to start acting like an adult.
But Raddatz wanted the job and she blew it when she decided to be biased. What a shock: not.

It's The Economy Stupid
Today, I paid $3.72 per gallon of gas and last week it was $3.59.
A gallon of milk, Wal-Mart brand is $3 a gallon. Anderson and Gold Meadow is almost $4 a gallon.
A 5 pound roll of hamburger cost $17.50 at Food For Less.
I paid $15 for a generic drug prescription where in the past, it was free. This is because of ObamaCare.
These kind of prices are not going to win the election for President Obama.
But hey, Bud Ice beer is $1 for 24 ounces.
