Dang. Talk about a single issue voter.

I wonder if the deal is that after Obama throws Hillary under the bus for the perfectly preventable death of our ambassador that Powell will get to be the next "SSoS" (sacrificial secretary of state).

Well I just heard that Colon[sic] Powell is endorsing the President; that's good enough for me...

Mr. President, I see your Colin Powell, and raise you three hundred of these guys:

So Teeps, why do you prefer Obama? Only because Powell endorses him? Drop your knickers, share with us, and enjoy the ride.

Obama Polling Far Behind 2008 in Swing States
Mike Flynn, Oct 25, 2012

In 2008, Obama won all of this year's battleground states, often by substantial margins. Today, in 2008 he held commanding leads in the RealClearPolitics average of polls in each of the swing states. His average standing in the polls was above 50% in 6 of ten of the battlefield states. Today, though, his numbers don't hit the critical 50% threshold in any swing state polling average. In most of the swing states, in fact, he has seen a dramatic collapse in support.

This afternoon, I took a stroll through RCP's average of swing state polling. Helpfully, they let you compare the state of the race today with 2008. Four years ago, Obama smallest lead was in North Carolina, where he led by 1.3 points. His biggest margin was in Michigan where he led by 17 points with an impressive 54.8% support.

First, let's look at where Obama was polling in the swing states on this date in 2008. The number cited is his lead in RCP's average of swing state polling. I note where Obama was polling about 50%

•Virginia +7.5 (54.5%)
•Florida +2.3
•Colorado +5.4 (50.5%)
•Ohio +6.6 (50%)
•Iowa +11.8 (52.8%)
•Nevada +3.3
•Wisconsin +11.4 (52%)
•Pennsylvania +10.8
•Michigan +17 (54.8%)
•North Carolina +1.3

This was clearly a campaign with a lot of momentum. Now, let's see where things stand today. (R signifies Romney leads in the RCP average.)

•Virginia R+1.4
•Florida R+1.7
•Colorado R+0.2
•Ohio +2.1
•Iowa +2
•Nevada +2.7
•Wisconsin +2.7
•Pennsylvania +4.8
•Michigan +4
•North Carolina R+5.6

Even in the states where Obama maintains a lead today, he was seen a substantial drop from his support in 2008. In VA, CO, OH, PA, NC and FL there has been a 4-8 point swing away from Obama. In IA and WI the swing is around 10 points. In MI, Obama has lost 13 points from his 2008 numbers.

Keep in mind, the shift away from Obama is probably greatly understated. Many of these state polls that make up today's RCP average of polls are using samples assuming Democrats match or exceed their turnout numbers in 2008. Look at the two sets of numbers again. Do today's numbers look like those posted by a campaign riding a wave of momentum? In 2008, the Democrats had their biggest turnout advantage in decades. The RCP averages in 2008 are consistent with that. Today's numbers? Not so much.

If Obama wins reelection, he'll have to limp across the finish line.

So the other day I heard Obama bragging that his policies on Iran had crippled their oil production, deflated the value of their currency and generally made things hard for the people.

I'm thinking "Well, that makes you 2 for 2, doesn't it?"

Boehner Formally Requests Public Answers from President 0bama on Benghazi
House Speaker John Boehner, Oct 25, 2012:

http://www.speaker.gov/sites/speaker.house.gov/fil es/UploadedFiles/Letter%20to%20Potus_Libya_102512. PDF



Although news of this formal request will likely not make the feckless lapdog mainstream media, Congress IS performing their rightful duties and pursuing answers about Benghazi, including the cover-up.

Congress is bound and limited by our Constitution in such matters. They're playing this one by the book.

Our President, sadly, is NOT. He makes it up as he goes, and Congress - and you and me and AMB Stevens - be damned.

The New York Post strongly endorsed Mitt Romney for president today. This is huge as it comes from the belly of the beast. Sorry, Greg, but this election is TOO important to ignore.
------------------------------

For America's future, The Post endorses Mitt Romney for president

Four frustratingly long years ago, a war-weary and economically battered America took a flier on a savior.

It didn’t work out.

Now, in 12 days, the nation will return to the polls — to reject, or to ratify, the results of the great Barack Obama experiment.

That is, to reject or to ratify the notion that hoping for change is a sound footing for productive national policy.

But, by the evidence, it is not.

It cannot create jobs.

It cannot reduce deficits.

It cannot restore foreign confidence in America — or Americans’ confidence in their own great nation.

America needs more than hope. It needs leadership. That is why The Post today endorses the candidacy of Mitt Romney for president of the United States.

Scrape it down to bedrock, and Mitt Romney knows that there is but one issue in this campaign: America’s woeful economy, and the demonstrated inability of President Obama to cope with it.

Obama says he inherited the mess, but he’s done nothing to fix it. Borrow, spend, regulate and redistribute is not a prescription for sustainable growth, yet that has been the totality of his program.

He says things will get better — soon. But there’s no evidence for that.

Obamanomics has produced:

* A sky-high national debt, now at a stupefying $16 trillion and growing.

* Intractable unemployment and a workforce hemorrhaging discouraged workers.

* No perceptible economic growth.

* Historic expansion in welfare programs — especially food stamps.

Obama proposes massive tax increases aimed not so much at the rich, as he claims, but squarely at the middle class and small business, which is insane: Small business — the real engine of American job creation — needs to be nurtured, not squeezed dry.

Americans need jobs — jobs for those trying to raise a family, jobs for those who are leaving school, jobs period!

Instead, they are about to be saddled with an unworkable health-care boondoggle that will suck hundreds of billions from a private-sector economy that could better use the cash to create — yes — more jobs!

Can Mitt Romney really turn all this around? Yes, he can.

In the debates, Americans saw a leader.

They saw a man with the experience, the temperament, the principles and the knowledge to address America’s economic woes instead of just blaming others.

After all, as governor of deep-blue Massachusetts, he worked with a Democratic legislature to close a $3 billion deficit without raising taxes or borrowing.

There is one other significant issue.

Four years ago, Obama vowed “to restore America’s standing in the world.” But he has sown rancor and confusion instead.

Our friends don’t know if they’re still our friends; our enemies wonder whether we have the courage to stand up to them.

The result has been a cataclysmic breakdown of US leadership in the Middle East.

Israel — and not just Israel — questions whether Obama is committed to curbing Iran’s nuclear threat.

Syria is in open civil war, while Egypt and Libya teeter on the brink. Osama bin Laden may be dead, but al Qaeda has hardly been contained — as Benghazi tragically proved.

In contrast, the smoke now hanging over the Middle East testifies to Obama’s inability to get the job done.

Any job.

Because, in the end, the fundamental problem is the president’s core philosophy.

He believes in equality of outcome, not equality of opportunity — and that is not how America is supposed to work.

America is not working right now.

Forward?

For four more years?

We think not.

Mitt Romney for president.

It matters not that you vote
but who / what tallies the vote

Remember the Soviet Unions leadership was 'elected'
The ability to 'vote' means very artificial veneer once the machine is in gear and running.

As big as the election is - there are altogether too many other things in motion that need to be killed as well.
Start with the FED, FEMA, DOJ, ATF, IRS, HHS intersections of Nexus - there are entirely too many Czars that control large swaths of what should not be administrative, academic processes.

The last Civil War was a States Rights Sovereignty issue vs Federal Control; the next one will be no less.

November 6 is not the end of this mess - it is the beginning of the NEXT mess. We cannot afford to go back to sleep just because the guy we like 'won'.

Between the two - I prefer Mitt; but he too needs to cut the power cord - with a wide swath if we are going to get back in shape.

Tom, that's most excellent news, thanks for sharing. One of the grim realities of the debates being over is that most of what America sees and hears from/about Romney is being filtered through the mostly corrupt feckless lapdog mainstream media again.

These endorsements for Romney reach a LOT of people in the first go-'round, and then get forwarded and talked about in the so-called "social media" - such as what we're doing here, for example - which further expands the endorsement's reach.

And when that endorsement is backed up by a well-written, reasoned, fact-based case for the endorsement, such as above, it all adds up into a pretty powerful weapon of enlightenment, particularly in the late stages of the battle we're in, particularly since the FLMSM is doing everything in their power to protect and distance our current pres from the awful job he's done over the past four years.

Thanks again.

You're welcome; thanks for the back-up.

I drove thru a bad neighborhood with an"impeach obama" bumper sticker and i made it home ok!
LOL. For what it's worth, I routinely ride/drive through portions of two swing states (VA and NC) in my weekend wanderings. This is by no means scientific, but I see R&R:0&B yard signs and/or bumper stickers in a ratio of about 150:1. In fact, in recent weeks the ratio has climbed even higher for R&R.

Last weekend, in about 250 miles of riding over both days, I saw exactly TWO yard signs (and zero bumper stickers) that mentioned 0.

The signs, in bold block letters, simply said: FIRE 0BAMA

I, too, made it home OK. : )

Thanks again.

Both matter, but I understand the gravity of your point.

November 6 is not the end of this mess - it is the beginning of the NEXT mess.
Disagree, a little (assuming R&R prevail), but again understand your point. The price of Liberty is eternal vigilance.

We cannot afford to go back to sleep just because the guy we like 'won'.
Concur 100%.

Between the two - I prefer Mitt; but he too needs to cut the power cord - with a wide swath if we are going to get back in shape.
Agree, and he says he will. Happily, his record successfully backs up his words.

You're the only ONE.

He may be the only one who is enjoying this. I'm paying attention, but I won't say there's any enjoyment at this point. The two political threads that are running right now are actually an incredible resource for anyone who wants to be informed. What could make it better is some input from the other side beyond the occasional snipe. I understand that when your candidate has failed this badly, it becomes increasingly difficult to find any rational way to express support. I trust that this difficulty will follow some of them into the voting booth.

Ferris you have done a very good job compiling the information on Obama failures.
What we need is more info on Bengazhi if they were doing what I think Obama was up to Its Treason. I need to look up the Rosenbergs not sure but I think they were democrats too.

Look at the the trend Kennedy The bay of Pigs he left our service men and the Cubans to die on the beach. LBJ the false flag Gulf of Tonkin our sailors were sacrificed. Carter set the Ayatollah free he pressured the French to release him Americans held captive Until Reagan was elected . As a result radical Islam is loose in the mideast again. Clinton is even worse under his leadership government agents just shoot americans remember the military at Waco and the alphabet police trying to entrap Randy Weaver and eventually killed his wife and family friends. Another Fast and Furious government run at gun control Obama stands down and basically surrenders to the Muslim brotherhood pushes secular leaders out and the Brotherhood expands Our ambassador and threee americans are killed. Obama acts like little boy caught in a lie he hides it and lies about what he has done.

The last four Democratic presidents have had policies along with actions and inaction are responsible for the deaths of too many Americans.
Why would a sane person vote for a democratic president ?

Re: Benghazi, the truth will prevail. The 0-Team (and the FLMSM) will obfuscate to the bitter end, and if reelected I assume 0 will ultimately invoke exec priv in an effort to save himself. I predict impeachment at the very least...

Did anyone really expect anything different from a tabloid fishwrap owned by Rupert "hack the cellphones of dead people" Murdoch? A paper known for its conservative and sensationalist spin on the news?

That would be like being blown away that the NY Times would endorse Obama.

Sorry to drop in and post randomly like this, as I do not hang out on this thread. Just trying to set the record straight on sources, and what their bias is. For the record: Times: Left; Post: Right.

Right or left, the verbiage of their endorsement is 100% accurate and true.

Have you seen all the Romney endorsements recently from the left-leaning newspapers?

Their assessments of 0's failed presidency echo the Post's.

Matters not whether one is left or right in this election: Our pres has failed, and does NOT deserve a second term.
