Independents Breaking Toward Romney, Media Silent

/11 Comments/in , /by

Not long ago, Independents were the go-to demographic for determining who would win elections. How the Independents swung, so too would the election.

In 2008, Barack Obama carried Independents in Ohio by 8 points and in Florida by 7 points. That victory among Independents contributed a great deal to his 2.8-point win in Florida and his 4.5 point win in Ohio. A victory by Romney among Independents could tilt both key states in his favor.

Curiously, Independents seem to be mostly ignored this election cycle, and their presidential vote preference is almost unanimously ignored by the MSM. Instead, “women” have replaced Independents as the key demographic. This emphasis and sudden fascination conveniently ties in nicely with the Democrats’ fictitious “War on Women” meme.

In both Ohio and Florida, Barack Obama’s “clear leads” all come from heavy over-sampling of Democrats, not from winning the crucial Indie vote. In fact, most of the polls that show Obama with big leads also show Romney handily winning Independent voters. Yet, somehow, Obama manages to increase his performance from 2008 despite Independents now opposing him.

Senior US Officials Admit White House Lied, Knew al Qaeda was Behind Attack, not Video Outrage

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Beth Stebner & Daily Mail Reporter. The Obama administration has confirmed that it knew within 24 hours that U.S. ambassador Chris Stevens had been killed in a pre-planned terrorist attack and not by crazed protestors enraged by an anti-Islam film.

The White House claimed for a week that the assault on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi was ‘spontaneous’ and sparked by the controversial movie, before finally admitting that the 9/11 anniversary attack was orchestrated by terrorists.

But senior U.S. officials have now confessed the government privately labelled the attack a terrorist act almost immediately after it happened, and even knew that the perpetrators had links to al Qaeda.

Two unnamed officials told Fox News that the administration internally flagged the strike ‘terrorism’ from day one, setting off the proper protocols and mobilising resources.

The government had also been informed by September 12 that U.S. intelligence agencies were hunting on specific suspect – militant Ansar al-Shariah and al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb, who were likely responsible for the deadly attack. Read more from this story HERE.

After getting caught lying, the Obama Administration then brazenly scrubbed a contradictory memo from the Internet! Click HERE to see it.

Pro-Obama protesters waving signs outside of a Romney event near Cleveland included this lady who explained that she was supporting Obama because he gave her, and everybody else in Cleveland, a free “Obama-phone.” I think we’ve found a member of the 47% that Romney will never win over:

Democratic sugar daddy George Soros gives $1 million to Obama super PAC

/3 Comments/in , /by

The Left-wing billionaire George Soros is giving $1million to the ‘super PAC’ supporting President Obama.

His donation to Priorities USA Action came as the group, which has launched brutal attack ads against Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney, raised a record $10 million last month.

Mr Soros has contributed millions of dollars during previous presidential elections and his latest donation may indicate that Democratic donors are now embracing super PACs, which can raise and spend unlimited sums of cash but are not allowed to coordinate with the candidates.

According to the New York Times, Michael Vachon, an adviser to Mr Soros, made the announcement at a lunch on Thursday hosted by the Democracy Alliance, a group of liberal donors.

He will also give $500,000 to two super PACs backing congressional Democrats.

US Taxpayers Spent an Enormous $1.4 billion on the Obama Family Last Year

/13 Comments/in , /by

By Alex Pappas. Taxpayers spent $1.4 billion dollars on everything from staffing, housing, flying and entertaining President Obama and his family last year, according to the author of a new book on taxpayer-funded presidential perks.

In comparison, British taxpayers spent just $57.8 million on the royal family.

Author Robert Keith Gray writes in “Presidential Perks Gone Royal” that Obama isn’t the only president to have taken advantage of the expensive trappings of his office. But the amount of money spent on the first family, he argues, has risen tremendously under the Obama administration and needs to be reined in.

Gray told The Daily Caller that the $1.4 billion spent on the Obama family last year is the “total cost of the presidency,” factoring the cost of the “biggest staff in history at the highest wages ever,” a 50 percent increase in the numbers of appointed czars and an Air Force One “running with the frequency of a scheduled air line.” Read more from this story HERE.

This makes Michelle Obama’s lie that Barack “has been struggling with us” all the more difficult to swallow, doesn’t it?

Must Watch Video: Radio Hosts Suspended for Encouraging Listeners to Put Up YouTubes Saying, “Muhammad Sucks A**”

/12 Comments/in , , /by

Yesterday, two popular radio hosts in northern California encouraged their listeners to “swamp the world” with articles and YouTube’s saying, “Muhammad sucks a**.”

They also suggested that videos be produced suggesting that “Muhammad’s a goat rapist” and that websites be set up with addresses like “MuhammadBarnLove.com.” Why? They’re convinced that this will either force the Islamic radicals to “grow up” or we’ll “get it on” and take care of the problem.

The hosts observed that Islam is a religion of submission, not peace. One host said Muslims want to “Set fire to the olive branch.”

They also stated that our “sacred principles,” namely the First Amendment, permit all Americans to “denigrate any damn religion [they] want” and that “if Mitt and his guys don’t jump on this, they aren’t fit to be dog catcher, much less President.”

Finally, they asserted that some of the supposedly offensive videos may have been “made up as an excuse to blow up stuff.”

These comments may have cost the hosts their jobs:

Michelle Obama Lies Yet Again: Barack “Has Been Struggling With Us”

/5 Comments/in , /by

First Lady Michelle Obama told North Carolina voters Wednesday that President Barack Obama is still feeling the pain of Americans, despite living in the cushy confines of the White House.

At a packed rally at North Carolina Central University, Mrs. Obama said her husband has struggled each and every day since he took office nearly four years ago to make life better for people.

“Barack Obama has been working every day since the day he took office,” she told an adoring crowd of 3,000 that greeted her with deafening cheers at the historically black university. “He has been fighting for us. He has been struggling with us. And together, slowly but surely, we have been pulling ourselves out of that hole we started in.”

Obama did not mention Mitt Romney or allude to Republicans in her remarks, but the GOP nominee’s recently revealed comments about 47 percent of freeloading Americans not paying any income tax hung just out of sight as she testified to her husband’s character.

“Remind folks that Barack Obama knows the American dream because he’s lived it,” she added.

U.S. Press Plays Pravda

/2 Comments/in , /by

Given the events of the last two weeks, we may expect an acceleration of media-skepticism. Let us consider just how egregiously the press has abandoned its responsibilities to the public trust in the past few weeks:

On September 11, on the eleventh anniversary of the worst attack yet endured on our shores, U.S. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and three aides were murdered, and their headquarters in Benghazi sacked. The U.S. Press unquestioningly accepted a White House explanation calling the event a “spontaneous demonstration” inspired by a poorly made anti-Islam film short that had been languishing online, all-but-ignored, for months.

Despite reports that the attackers had been chanting “Obama, we are all Osama,” (in reference to Osama bin Laden, whose America-effected demise was celebrated over 20 times during the recently concluded Democratic convention) the press duly reported the White House line, and they saw no First Amendment issues when the Obama administration asked Google (owners of YouTube) to remove the offending video. (Google refused.)

This is the same press, all the same bylines and faces, by the way, who fretted about the “chill wind” threatening free speech when then-White House Spokesman Ari Fleischer merely suggested that post-9/11 people might need to be cautious in their speech.

The press did not blink when the film’s creator was publicly identified, handcuffed, and brought into police custody for questioning about “a possible parole violation” in the middle of the night. In fact, some journalists—utterly incurious about the possible constitutional repercussions of establishing such a precedent—began helpfully arguing that sometimes free speech ought to be limited, darn it! The work of cultural darling Andres Serrano—whose overpraised “Piss Christ” showcases a photograph of a crucifix submerged in a bucket of Serrano’s own urine—was free speech and “art” deserving protection, while an execrably produced anti-Muslim short, made by a cultural nobody, was not.

U.S. Median Household Income Down 8.2% Since Obama Took Office

/1 Comment/in , /by

Median household incomes have fallen 8.2 percent since President Obama took office and continue to drop despite the official end of the recession, a new study shows.

Data compiled by Sentier Research found that since the economic recovery technically began in June 2009, median household income has dropped 5.7 percent. As of August, that median income was $50,678 — also down 1.1 percent from the month prior.

And since Obama took office in January 2009, the median income has fallen 8.2 percent, from $55,198 to its present figure.

“The August decline in real median annual household income is indicative of a struggling economy,” Sentier said in its report.

“Even though we are technically in an economic recovery, real median annual household income is having a difficult time maintaining its present level, much less ‘recovering.'”
