Obama Says He Won’t Tolerate Debate On Increasing The Debt Ceiling…
Even Though He And Many Of His Fellow Democrats Have Done So In The Past President Barack Obama struck a combative tone during a surprise news conference Monday, attacking Republicans in Congress for threatening to shut down the government over the debt ceiling battle. “We are not a deadbeat nation,” Obama said during a nearly hour-long briefing from the East Room of the White House. He called it “absurd” for the federal government not to pay “bills that have already been racked up.” (Source: CNN) Today, Obama Said He Would Not Tolerate Debate On Raising The Debt Ceiling. OBAMA: "These are bills that have already been racked up. And we need to pay them. So while I'm willing to compromise and find common ground over how to reduce our deficits, America cannot afford [...]
Emails: White House, State Department knew Islamic militants attacked Benghazi consulate within 2 hrs
Officials at the White House and State Department were advised two hours after attackers assaulted the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya, on September 11 that an Islamic militant group had claimed credit for the attack, official emails show. The emails, obtained by Reuters from government sources not connected with U.S. spy agencies or the State Department and who requested anonymity, specifically mention that the Libyan group called Ansar al-Sharia had asserted responsibility for the attacks. The brief emails also show how U.S. diplomats described the attack, even as it was still under way, to Washington. U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans were killed in the Benghazi assault, which President Barack Obama and other U.S. officials ultimately [...]

Romney’s Brilliant Debate Strategy may have scored a Knockout
Gov. Mitt Romney today pulled a bold move in the final debate with President Obama, opting for relatively limited verbal combat with his opponent while instead showcasing his knowledge of foreign affairs, adopting a presidential demeanor, and offering a sense of optimism for the future. This strategy was the political equivalent of the Muhammed Ali Rope-a-Dope against George Foreman in the heavyweight boxing championship in 1974. Everyone expected a war, but Ali laid back on the ropes and let his bigger, stronger opponent pound away until Foreman was exhausted, and Ali knocked him out. And I think Romney may have scored a knockout too. Read more at Romney’s Brilliant Maneuver | The Blog on Obama: White House Dossier.

Surprise It’s October! Iran agrees to one-on-one Nuke talks with the U.S.
Well isn't that amazing! Just in Time for the Foreign Policy debate on Monday. This comes after the CIA documents claims that Ambassador Rice was right all alone about Benghazi - It was a Video. So lets take Iran and Libya off the table for discussion. Anyone guess what time it is? Surprise, It's October! The New York Timesreports (and the White House denies) that “The United States and Iran have agreed for the first time to one-on-one negotiations over Iran’s nuclear program, according to Obama administration officials, setting the stage for what could be a last-ditch diplomatic effort to avert a military strike on Iran.” Two of the three assertions in that lead paragraph are demonstrably false. One-on-one negotiations have been going on for years (most recently, [...]
CNN: Crowley gave Obama 9% more time because he speaks more slowly
By Albert N. Milliron If any of you wondered why Obama got nearly ten percent more time during Tuesdays Town Hall debate, it was because President Obama speaks slower than Romney and needed more time to respond to questions. You see, Romney got more words in even though he got less time. We are wondering why there wasn't a word counter instead of a timer for the debate if ones word count was to be a factor. This is a laughable explanation of the reasons behind Candy Crowley's intervention during the debate to cut off Romney while making valid points about the effectiveness of Obama's last four years in office. But so goes the mainstream media these days. Here is a portion of the CNN internal memo: On why Obama got more time to speak, it should be noted that Candy and [...]

No Haymakers in Hofstra
By Joe Keck Well, Mitt Romney again came out swinging against CNN's Candy Crowley and Barrack Obama in last night's heavyweight match-up. You know it's ironic. One of the guys I was watching the debate with mentioned that Ms. Crowley was doing a fine job as moderator, and I agreed. That is, until she rushed across the ring and caught Obama just as he started to go down with the Libya exchange toward the end. As it turned out, of course, Obama was, uh - not quite forthcoming - with his answer regarding the terrorist attack in Benghazi. And neither was Crowley. But no matter, we're all used to CNN, NBC, ABC, CBS, MSNBC, PBS, NY Times, USA Today, and all the other mainstream news organizations being in the corner of any left-wing candidate vigorously massaging their [...]
