UK Daily Mail;  

"'I told Obama personally, I said, look, I had him for his first 17 years and then he went into the service, then you got him.

"'And - I won't say it the way I said it - but I said you screwed up, you didn't do a good job, I lost my son. And they said, we'll get back to you. We - I promise, I promise you. I will get back to you.

"Cooper told Smith that the administration could at least keep her apprised of the investigation, and she agreed, saying: 'That would be so nice. That would at least acknowledge that I have a right to know something, something other than, we're checking up on it, or trust me.

'I like that one the best of all. Trust me. I will let you know.

"'Well, I don't trust you anymore. I don't trust you anymore. You - I'm not going to say lied to me, but you didn't tell me and you knew.' "

Hillary's damage control (of her political career)

American Thinker; "According to their recent declaration, North Korea now has missile technology that can reach US soil.  Iran is on the brink of having a nuclear weapon. Pakistan is in a state of diplomatic flux.  Israel holds our allegiance in doubt. And the untenable situations of Iraq and Afghanistan remain, untenable.  Syria? Egypt? Being Secretary of State is tough duty and perhaps merely keeping the status quo is a victory and a job well done.  But, accolades laid at the pumps of Hillary for good performance appears more suggestive than actual achievement."

What you say when you can't blame George Bush

Obama on Debate: 'I Was Too Polite'  "After calling Mitt Romney a liar, suggesting that Jim Lehrer had a screw loose, and blaming Big Bird for President Obama’s abysmal presidential debate performance, the Obama campaign has finally settled on a message: Obama was simply too polite. Yes, the candidate who has termed his political opponents “enemies” and suggested that his followers physically accost those enemies was just too nice."

Ann Romney: Obama Campaign Resorting To 'Sandbox' Tactics   " "I mean, it's sort of like someone in the sandbox who lost the game and kicks sand in someone's face and says 'you liar'," Ann Romney said. "To me it's poor sportsmanship." "

Do any of Obama's supporters even care about the whole Benghazi mess?

American Glob; Obama’s Libya Narrative Is Falling Apart

The left-leaning Buzzfeed calls this ad "brutal". They say, "Though it runs a little long, the Heritage Foundation's excellently crafted new video is worth a watch for anybody who's a fan of political attack ads — or wondering why the Obama Administration is facing so much criticism in the aftermath of the Benghazi attack."

From Hope n' Change; Honesty is the Best Foreign Policy

[Romney] "was able to single out the president's failures in Syria, Yemen, and Somalia. Criticize Mr. Obama for failing to even voice support for the people's uprising in Iran, while simultaneously doing nothing substantive to prevent Iran ("A tiny country that poses no serious threat,"according to Barry in 2008) from obtaining nuclear weapons to obliterate our ally Israel. Or make that former-ally, since Romney concedes damage repair will be needed after Obama's policy of "creating daylight" between the U.S. and Israel."

Benghazi and the bureaucrats  "This is not going to end well for the Obama forces. Michael Kinsley, who has been watching DC  from the progressive camp for decades, today writes a prophetic column, " President (gulp) Romney?" "

The article cites this Buzzfeed post about the trap Jay Carney has put himself into.
"Jay Carney said Wednesday that he “never said we don't know if it's terrorism,” but dodged in September when asked directly if it was a terrorist attack."
Video: 10/10: "I never said, I never said we don't know if it's terrorism."

Video: 9/14:  " in response question if it was a terrorist attack: "We don't have and do not have concrete evidence to suggest this was not in reaction to the film." "

Ann Coulter asks, Got Racism?

Ann Coulter  "Meanwhile, my new favorite actress, Stacey Dash, sends an inoffensive little tweet supporting Mitt Romney and is buried in tweets calling her "an indoor slave" and a "jiggaboo," who was "slutting (herself) to the white man." (And those were just the tweets from the Obama 2012 Re-election Campaign!)"
...After President George W. Bush appointed Condoleezza Rice the first black female secretary of state, she was maligned in racist cartoons portraying her as Aunt Jemima, Butterfly McQueen from "Gone With the Wind," a fat-lipped Bush parrot and other racist cliches.

Actress Stacey Dash loved Obama in 2009   Then she tweeted this:

Lloyd Marcus; Black Actress Supports Romney: Welcome Home Sista!   "I have about had it with the arrogant bullies on the Left. Who died and gave them authority to decide who is a racist? The Left believes they have the ultimate card to trump any and all opposition to their master plan to implement a Socialistic/Progressive anti-American agenda. We who love America have had it with the Left’s, if-you-disapprove-of-the-direction-Obama-is-taking-our-country, you’re a racist nonsense. The reality is anyone who votes for Barack Obama is stuck on stupid, a lazy loser or a racist."

From Wake Up Black America; Clueless, racist, intolerant liberals attack actress Stacey Dash for supporting Mitt Romney.
"Now you may be thinking that's impossible, progressives are about diversity, tolerance, compassion, harmony, rainbows and puppies and such, right? Well that isn't the case and never was. They do not tolerate any racial minority not marching in tune to their ideology and supporting their democratic candidate."

 

The Republican Jewish Coalition produced a short documentary showing yet again how hostile Obama is to Israel.

"Perilous times", by Caroline Glick   "Please share it with everyone you know who is planning to vote for this man again next month. I don't want anyone to have the excuse that they didn't know. If people don't know it's because they don't want to know, or because they don't care. They will share in the responsibility for what comes next. 
"It will be their fault."

From the comments to this article: 

There is no question, no not one, that should remain regarding the position of this 'tyrant in the making' towards Israel. But not only towards Israel, but to the very country that he so surreptitiously handed over to the MB.

If there is an election in the US and he is elected again, humanity is at risk through his enabling policies.

Evolution and Trends in Terrorism Tradecraft

By Rich Terrell, who had the phrase "26 days" next to today's, er, um...cartoon

STRATFOR Report on Terrorism  "This inability to conduct attacks in the West and the frustration it causes, along with the downfall of the transnational al Qaeda core organization, may be causing the remaining jihadist groups to focus more on operations in their local areas -- places where they have the skilled operatives and materiel to conduct successful attacks.

"This means that Western diplomatic missions, hotels and businesses located in these areas will remain vulnerable to attack. With these militant groups in possession of shoulder-launched surface-to-air missiles like the SA-7, there is also a lingering concern over the possibility of an attack against a Western aircraft in such areas."  Read more: Evolution and Trends in Terrorism Tradecraft | Stratfor

MUST WATCH: Lara Logan’s explosive speech on the resurgence of the Taliban and Al Qaeda in Afghanistan

The Right Scoop   "This is the explosive speech that Lara Logan gave the other day contradicting the White House spin that the Taliban and Al Qaeda are on their heels and you can watch it below:"

Lara Logan: Radical Islam is Not in Retreat   "It's worth the 20 minutes of your time and completely destroysthree four Obama narratives: 1) Killing bin Laden ended al Qaeda; 2) The Arab Spring has been a good thing; 3) There are "moderate" Taliban who can be our peace partners; 4) The "radicals" are a tiny minority within the Islamic world."

There’s nothing like a liberal that got hit with a clue bat.

Rush Limbaugh: Lara Logan's speech on Afghanistan  Rush quotes from the Chicago Sun Times;   "Logan even called for retribution for the recent terrorist killings of Christopher Stevens, the U.S. ambassador to Libya, and three other officials. The event is a harbinger of our vulnerability, she said. Logan hopes that America will “exact revenge and let the world know that the United States will not be attacked on its own soil. That its ambassadors will not be murdered, and that the United States will not stand by and do nothing about it.”

"In the “good old days,” reporters did not advocate, crusade or call for revenge."

Mr. President, Your Helicopter Is Ready!

John W. Lillpop   

With the nation, his presidency, and the American democracy in shambles, is it not time for Barack Hussein Obama to face reality and spare the nation yet another 3.5 months of grief?From out-of -control spending resulting in trillions of dollars added to the deficit,to Marxist programs repulsive to most Americans, to awful unemployment, to programs that promote class and racial warfare, to complete abandonment of border security and immigration law enforcement, and to inept and naïve mismanagement of foreign affairs, Barack Obama has done enough damage to America. Unfortunately, this human wrecking ball with a degree from Harvard and a birth certificate from Kenya has the legal right to seek another four-year term.However, common sense compels one to shout, “Enough is enough!”Barack Obama has lost his mind. He can no longer be trusted with national security or important functions that require mature judgment. He has zero credibility with the public, Congress and the world.Barack Obama needs to leave Washington, D.C. as soon as possible. Waikiki Beach and Chicago are  calling and Barack Obama is urgently needed there.

People Died, Obama Lied

Legal Insurrection  "Clinton’s State Department, and therefore in all probability the White House, had forewarning of at least a growing danger when “foreign fighters” began flooding over the Egyptian border prior to the attacks.  And, worse than doing nothing, they actually prevented security from being beefed up, though they had been warned that the level was “inappropriately low.” "

Tapper to WH on Benghazi: So, wouldn’t it be President Obama who shot first and aimed later?  "President Obama ran with the media’s spin, positing on 60 Minutes that America doesn’t need a president who would “shoot first and ask questions later,” but given the ensuing fallout (from this-wasn’t-terrorism to this-was-clearly-terrorism, and what with sending out Ambassador Rice to paint a false narrative to the American people and deriding a “disgusting, reprehensible” internet video in front of the United Nations, etcetera)… wasn’t it maybe President Obama and his administration who actually jumped the gun on this whole thing? ABC reporter Jack Tapper put the question to White House press secretary Jay Carney this afternoon:"

Victor Davis Hanson; The Ever-Stranger Case of a Murdered US Ambassador

"The notion of an American ambassador trapped nearly alone for hours before succumbing to smoke inhalation, while helpless under sustained armed assault, cries out for explanation."
...."A final generic observation: When comparing the furor over Guantanamo or Abu Ghraib with the current lack of interest, it almost seems that the media, over the last two administrations, goes ballistic when the US purportedly causes injury to suspected radical Islamists, but becomes comatose when the latter cause injury to us."

Wynn On Obama: "I'll Be Damned If I Want To Have Him Lecture Me" (VIDEO)

The president is trying to put himself between me and my employees. By class warfare, by deprecating and calling a group that makes money 'billionaires and millionaires who don't pay their share.' I gave 120% of my salary and bonus away last year to charities, as I do most years. I can't stand the idea of being demagogued, that is put down by a president who has never created any jobs and who doesn't even understand how the economy works.

...." Wynn on a scrapped business plan: "I'm afraid of the president. I have no idea what goofy idea, what crazy, anti-business program this administration will come up. I have no idea. And I have to tell you Jon that every business guy I know in the country is frightened of Barack Obama and the way he thinks." "

Universal Theme Park Show Toasts Obama, Roasts Romney  "The show, she reports, "tturned into a 40-minute campaign rally for Obama, defaming Romney."

In the show, a black man was dressed up in a suit and sunglasses looking all cool and singing a rap about how he was the first black president. He makes references to gay rights, women's contraception, killing Osama bin Laden, supporting Big Bird and the like. All the while, the crowd was getting pumped up and cheering the entire time. The black man’s “opponent” was a white man talking like a "nerd" and looking all disheveled as he stumbled out saying that he lied in the debate, that he shoves grannies off the cliff. "Oh, I didn't know that women could vote," he even said at one point.

Libya:  Rev Up the Bus -- Someone's Going Under It   "To the extent that someone has to be held responsible for the Benghazi debacle, Obama would love to off-load blame to the Secretary of State.  Given that it's Hillary Clinton, however, who (with her husband) has a distinct constituency Obama needs in 27 days, that's not possible.  Nor is it likely that she'll fall on her sword and resign, thereby going in disgrace and admitting blame." Via Lucianne

As Romney said, Obama just picks the losers … a plant that got $150 million in taxpayer money to make Volt batteries is putting workers on furlough and has yet to produce a single battery. Via Neal Boortz.

American Thinker; How Does a President Quit?    "When there is no more fire in the belly and you are outclassed in every respect by your opponent, what do you do?  How does Obama have his "No más" moment gracefully?  Or did we witness it already when he quit partway through the first debate?
"Does the man who pretended to be president now pretend to be a candidate?"

After Raising Close To $1 Billion, Axelrod Accuses Romney Of “Trying To Buy This Election”…

From NRO; Small Things   "Back in 2008, Obama said that, "if you don’t have a record to run on, then you paint your opponent as someone people should run from. You make a big election about small things.” Now that the election has entered the homestretch, he is employing the very tactics he once denounced."   View the clever video here.

From the Wall Street Journal; Big Bird, Small President  "According to financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2011, Sesame Workshop and its nonprofit and for-profit subsidiaries had total operating revenue of more than $134 million. They receive about $8 million a year in direct government grants and more indirectly via PBS subsidies. Big Bird and friends also receive corporate and foundation support, and donations amount to about a third of revenue. Distribution fees and royalties comprise another third and licensing." revenue makes up the rest.

Lloyd Marcus; The Black Divider-in-Chief   "Had blacks such as JC Watts or Condoleezza Rice been elected president, I do not believe that we would see a racial line dividing the heart of America. Brother and sister Americans, we deserve much, much better than Barack Hussein Obama.
