"America" will affect the entire world

From the Daily Mail on November 7, 2012 (hat tip to Mark Alexander of A New Dark Age Is Dawning):

New dawn? This looks more like a new dusk

...The most sensible policy – which a Romney administration would have pursued – is deficit reduction. Instead, the second Obama term will increase the deficit, further diminishing America’s economic power and credibility....

[...]

Obama’s supporters claim the worst is over, and the best is yet to come.

Such clichés patronise not merely the American public who, by re-electing him, have chosen the soft option rather than a confrontation with economic reality. They also patronise a substantial part of the developed world that, even if it no longer looks to America for political leadership, relies for its standard of living on the US being economically strong.

On the evidence of the past four years, notably Mr Obama’s record of serial economic incompetence, the next four are going to be exceptionally trying – and, sadly, not just for Americans.

Virginia This Election Night

The polling places were supposed to close nearly two hours ago.

The lines are still stretched long in several locations. Very long.

Overwhelming voter turnout!

No word yet on exactly when some of these polling places will close. But some may not close until midnight!

Reporting on the outcome for Virginia is postponed as are the projections for Virginia.

I've lived here in Virginia all my life and don't recall anything like this ever happening before!

This Election Campaign

It's been death by political ads and political robo calls here in the battleground state of Virginia.

I'm sick of Obama's petulance, sneering, and screaming.  I find him absolutely disgusting.

And his facial expressions and that pointing finger!  Sheesh.

To say, "Obama isn't acting Presidential," doesn't begin to insult him enough.  He is exhibiting demagoguery in the extreme.  Indeed, he is a textbook case of demagoguery. 

As I have previously opined, I think that some of Obama's attitude and behaviors can be attributed to substance abuse.  I can't prove that allegation, but all my intuition tells me that such is the case.  

How I'd love to see Barack Hussein Obama take a piss test with no advance notice!

Dick Morris, of whom I am not particularly enamored, summed it up this way:


I'm not big on predicting election outcomes. But I'll do so.

I predict a Romney-Ryan landslide. I hope that my prediction isn't wishful thinking.

Wow. Just Wow.

Take a look at this Washington Post commentary by liberal Richard Cohen.  This particular entry is one of the most popular on the Washington Post 's web site today.

The closing of Mr. Cohen's commentary:

I will vote for Obama with regret. I wish he was the man I once mistook him for.

Good and bad news: Obama is no longer "The One" for liberals, but they'll vote for him anyway.

The Perfect Yard Sign

With a hat tip to Matt of Conservative Hideout 2.0:

Yard signs supporting Obama have proliferated all over the Washington, D.C., area. Figures. The D.C. area has prospered since 2008, largely due to all the government jobs and federal initiatives brought in by the Obama regime.

Obama Campaing Ad Equates Voting For Obama With Having Sex

(with a hat tip to Reliapundit of THE ASTUTE BLOGGERS)

The devolving exhibited by the Democratic Party during this election season continues. Trashy, to say the least:


Wow. Just wow.

Have some people lost their minds, or what?

Check out this recent trash talking on the part of Barack Hussein Obama. Civil discourse, huh?  Pffffft.

By way of interest, please compare the above video to one of Vladimir Putin's recent political ads (hat tip to The Right Scoop), and note the parallels:


Some reading from the UK's Mail Online: "Barack Obama, the 2008 'hopemonger', has become the fearmonger-in-chief of the 2012 election campaign."  It's worth your time to read the Mail Online's October 25, 2012 article indicating that Obama really is America's Demagogue-in-Chief. Can today's American electorate recognize such tactics and repudiate them? We'll find out on November 6.

David Axelrod Outdoes Himself

From Red Alert Politics:

Senior adviser to Obama for America and former White House official David Axelrod blew off criticisms from Republicans Sunday that the Obama administration’s storyline on the Libyan attack had been inconsistent, calling it “nonsense.”

Axelrod claimed the administration had shared everything it knew about the attacks “in real time” and Republicans’ attempts to portray the situation any differently are “disgreaceful.”

“Well, I think it’s nonsense,” Axelrod told “Meet the Press” host David Gregory. “Obviously, this was a tragic event, and the President did call it an act of terror – not just once, but several times – and asked for and ordered an investigation to get to the bottom of what happened, why it happened, and to bring those who committed this act of terror to justice.”...

Expect Obama to mirror this same position in tonight's debate with Mitt Romney.

Obama will say, "Look!" followed by blah, blah, blah. A snow job, in other words.

How gullible is the American voter?

The Real War On Women

The Democrats are avoiding the truth as if the plague (hat tip to Leticia):

The terrifying world of child brides

Unbelievable!

Forget "Hail to the Chief" and "Yes, We Can." Obama finally has a theme song that suits his governing ability.

Pathetic.

Laughable in oh-so-many ways:

Democrats frustrated by Obama's "Big Bird" campaign turn

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - In 2008, singer will.i.am provided Barack Obama's presidential campaign with music for its signature anthem, "Yes We Can." On Tuesday, at a rally for Obama in Columbus, Ohio, the performer chose to play something new: the theme song for "Sesame Street."

For Obama's supporters, already dismayed by the president's halting performance in last week's debate with Republican Mitt Romney, that change in tune is a new source for concern as they fret that a children's TV show has become a new backdrop for their candidate's campaign.

In a moment of tightening polls and climbing anxiety for Obama's supporters, the president's decision to grant Big Bird a starring role in his campaign this week has presented another reason to reach for the Alka-Seltzer....

A more fitting tune would be the theme music from Looney Tunes.

What Should We Call This?

Negligence? Incompetence? Treason?

He Who Pays The Piper Calls The Tune

And, then, the piper calls ALL the tunes because the followers are totally dependent upon the piper for their very existence.

From CNS:

U.S. government employees and their families have thus far contributed $396,550 to President Barack Obama's reelection campaign, making them one of the top five sources of cash for the campaign to reelect the president...

[...]

The academic community has also been very supportive of President Obama's reelection bid. With employees of the University of California and their families being the very top contributors to his campaign--having given the campaign a total of $703,781 in campaign contributions so far in this election cycle--and employees of Harvard and their families being the fourth largest contributors to the president's campaign...

Obama's "God Talk"

From this September 7, 2012 article in the Washington Post, an article that also appeared in the print edition in the "On Faith" section:

Obama’s ‘God talk’ was highlight of his convention acceptance speech

...[T]radition requires some God talk at a convention speech, and Obama was not about to flout that tradition. Nonbelievers and the religiously unaffiliated may be growing in number, but the vast majority of Americans want a president who believes. According to the PRRI, 66 percent of Democrats and 58 percent of independents say it’s important for a president to have strong faith.

The only question was how he’d express it. In a phone interview before the speech, Democratic strategist Eric Sapp said he hoped to see a return of the spiritually uplifting campaigner. Obama in ’08 “was very authentic,” Sapp said. “When he switched to policy, he lost. When [Democrats] become too secular, we lose our moral compass, we lose our core, we lose our values. We can’t be seen as being against God. And if we intentionally start clamming up over this stuff, we are going to lose a lot of voters for whom this is important.”

At the outset, the president’s speech lacked loft. But about two-thirds of the way in, Obama turned and faced the religion question head on. He did it with a pronoun. He started talking about “you.”

“The election four years ago was not about me,” he said. “My fellow citizens, you were the change. . . . Only you have the power to move us forward.”

Religious leaders have used this rhetorical pivot — it’s not about me, it’s about you — to great effect over the years. Moses used it in the desert when he told the people of Israel that they had to get themselves to the Promised Land. Jesus used it when he told followers that they had to make a choice and leave their families to follow him. American political leaders have used the collective “you” in their high-flying expressions of civil religion, linking U.S. citizenship to a sacred blessing and calling political engagement a sacred obligation. Think of John F. Kennedy’s inaugural address, when he told people, “Ask not what your country can do for you.”

The focus on the “you” gives the responsibility for doing what is fair and righteous to the people and deftly acknowledges that even the most powerful leaders are fallible and imperfect.

Through the power of the collective “you,” Obama was able to release himself from the fetters of his personal religious history and paint a picture of an America in which responsibility to country and neighbor is a responsibility to God. The soaring high notes at the conclusion of his speech were familiar to anyone who followed the candidate in ’08. “Yes, our path is harder,” he said, “but it leads to a better place. Yes our road is longer— but we travel it together. . . . We draw strength from our victories, and we learn from our mistakes, but we keep our eyes fixed on that distant horizon, knowing that providence is with us, and that we are surely blessed to be citizens of the greatest nation on earth.”

It was God talk, all right, and he’s good at it. He needs to use it more often.

Gag!

Thuggery! The DOJ And Gallup

From Sodahead (hat tip to Bunkerville):

In a move that could have chilling First Amendment consequences, the Obama regime this week showed that it's willing to use the full weight and power of the Justice Department to pummel any media outlet that doesn't toe the party line.

Within days of the Gallup Organization issuing, essentially, a veiled warning to the Obama gang about tinkering with unemployment numbers, Obama's DOJ jumped, jackboots first, into a multi-million dollar legal action against Gallup, in a case initiated by a former Obama operative.

Others have noted that the DOJ action occurred after Gallup had Mitt Romney ahead of Obama in its polling for a few days....

[...]

Twice this summer, Gallup has published a report calling into question discrepancies between its unadjusted research and what is being tallied in the adjusted O-fficial statistics....

Paul Ryan Must Be A Racist, Right? WRONG!

He dated a black woman while he was in college.

At Mediaite, we read this statement:

it is misleading to judge a politician’s racial sensitivity to their personal relationships with individuals with a minority background.

Next, I'll be hearing or reading "Paul Ryan is a racist because he didn't marry his black college-girlfriend."

Race, race, race. Can America not get past "the race problem"?

As Ms. Noonan said:

The Democrats are going to say that he’s shark. He has to say that he’s the lifeboat.

Paul Ryan has to employ that strategy immediately BEFORE the mainstream media take charge of the issue.

Is there a possible coordination between PAC and the Obama campaign?

Watch the video:


Now read THIS at Mike's America. Excerpt:

...[N]ot only did Joe Soptic deliberately mislead people about his story, the Obama campaign may have broken federal campaign law by coordinating with Soptic. When asked about any link between the two "We have nothing, no involvement, with any ads that are done by Priorities USA. We don't have any knowledge of the story of the family," Obama campaign spokeswoman Jen Psaki said on Wednesday.

Obama Campaign spokespersons Stephanie Cutter and Robert Gibbs both denied any knowledge of the facts surrounding Soptic's claims. Yet, there is a recording of Stephanie Cutter with Soptic discussing the issue in a May conference call with reporters....

Iran Rising?

From the Washington Post on July 26, 2012:

Iran bolsters retaliation capability in Persian Gulf, experts say

Iran is rapidly gaining new capabilities to strike at U.S. warships in the Persian Gulf, amassing an arsenal of sophisticated anti-ship missiles while expanding its fleet of fast-attack boats and submarines, U.S. and Middle Eastern analysts say.

The new systems, many of them developed with foreign assistance, are giving Iran’s commanders new confidence that they could quickly damage or destroy U.S. ships if hostilities erupt, the officials say.

Although U.S. Navy officials are convinced that they would prevail in a fight, Iran’s advances have fueled concerns about U.S. vulnerabilities during the opening hours of a conflict in the gulf.

Increasingly accurate short-range missiles — combined with Iran’s use of “swarm” tactics involving hundreds of heavily armed patrol boats — could strain the defensive capabilities of even the most modern U.S. ships, current and former military analysts say.

In recent weeks, as nuclear talks with world powers have faltered and tensions have risen...
