The October Surprise Has Arrived.....

The Obama administration is now denying that it has a "pre-election" agreement but insisting that any "deal" would have to come after the election. The clear implication here is "stick with us and we'll fix all these nasty problems with Iran." But what kind of "agreement" could we expect from Iran with this president at the helm?

Obama’s Benghazi Investigator: An Iran Sympathizer....

Swell....will the corruption never end?

The freshly appointed chairman of a federal investigation into the Benghazi massacre is an apologist for Islamic terrorism who has a cozy relationship with Iran, the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism.

White House told of militant claim two hours after Libya attack: emails.....

I think everyone knew the WH lied...why we aren't sure....however it IS reassuring to know there wasn't some mind numbing total security failure taking place beyond our decision to not save the American's under siege. At least we knew it was happening and not some innocuous dumb video....however, when it comes to the Drive-by Media...there will be crickets chirping instead of reporting on this.

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.

Libya and Lies .....

It was a little much when President Barack Obama said that he was “offended” by the suggestion that his administration would try to deceive the public about what happened in Benghazi. What has this man not deceived the public about?

US Stocks: Dow Drops 250 After Earnings, DuPont Skids 9%.....

Stocks traded near session lows Tuesday, with the Dow down nearly 250 points, following a batch of disappointing quarterly results and amid worries over Spain's economy.

Romney Wins, By a Bayonet....

When Romney criticized looming defense cuts, for example, Obama countered by expressing contempt for Romney's alleged ignorance about the military, saying that it was as outdated as military bayonets.

The problem? The military still uses bayonets.

Romney Passed the Test......

Mitt Romney’s aim was to present himself with the demeanor and grasp of foreign and national security issues of a president of the United States. He succeeded. President Obama sought to make Romney appear unqualified to be president and commander in chief. He failed. And that was the story of the third and final presidential debate.

Krauthammer: 'It's Unequivocal, Romney Won' ....

Charles Krauthammer declared Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney the winner of tonight's debate:

How to Destroy a Rich Country.....

Excellent read....should make you think....

How did a Christian country, with a European population, a negligible racial problem, and enormous natural and agricultural wealth screw up? How did a country with a liberal constitution cycle in and out of dictatorship? How did a country that was the fourth-richest per capita on the planet in 1929 fall so hard? How is it that Argentina regularly cycles between enormous first-world wealth and third-world economic collapse?

The answer, in a word, is government. Argentina is a frightening example to prove that bad government can destroy even a potential heaven on earth.

Checkpoint Scandal Would Catch Obama Off-Guard in Third Debate.....

This mornings FIRST Hypocrisy Howler...there are so many I don't know where to start!!!!

And now the tragic punch-line: after spending two years condemning Israeli checkpoints and roadblocks as impediments to peace and urging their removal, President Obama congratulated Egyptian demonstrators -- reportedly members of the Muslim Brotherhood -- for setting up checkpoints and conducting body searches.

CIA found militant links a day after Libya attack.....

I would pray to the Almighty that our President's Intelligence Service would have a better command of these matters than he does on getting to the golf course. I heard someone say he's played more rounds of golf than attended National Security briefings...made me laugh...then I wondered....

 The CIA station chief in Libya reported to Washington within 24 hours of last month's deadly attack on the U.S. Consulate that there was evidence it was carried out by militants, not a spontaneous mob upset about an American-made video ridiculing Islam's Prophet Muhammad, U.S. officials have told The Associated Press.

The Libya Lie - Victor Davis Hanson...

Almost everything we have been told about Libya over the last two years is untrue.

A free Libya was supposed to be proof of President Obama’s enlightened “reset” Middle East policy. When insurgency broke out there, the United States joined France and Great Britain in bombing Moammar Qaddafi out of power — and supposedly empowering a democratic Arab Spring regime. Not a single American life was lost.

U.S. Spent $27 Million on ‘Ineffective’ Pottery Classes--in Morocco.....

I swear....you can't write this stuff...........

“A key part of the project involved training Moroccans to create and design pottery to sell in domestic and international markets,” the 2012 “Waste Book” explains. “To accomplish this, an American pottery instructor was contracted to provide several weeks of training classes to local artists to improve their methods and teach them how to successfully make pottery that could be brought to market.

“Unfortunately, the translator hired for the sessions was not fluent in English and was unable to transmit large portions of the lectures to the participants,” it said.

Bozell Column: Reporters Say 'Libya, Schmibya' ......

 Four DEAD Americans.....

It’s amazing that liberals insisted during the Bush years that the president was the dimmest of dimwits, yet he was also responsible for every foreign-policy mistake. Now the geniuses Obama and Biden can claim complete ignorance when our diplomats die, and no worries.

In the Bush years, bad intelligence was pinned squarely on Bush as commander-in-chief. In the Obama years, bad intelligence somehow absolves the White House.

White House ponders a strike over Libya attack.....

OCTOBER SURPRISE!!!

 And if the administration does find a target, officials say it still has to weigh whether the short-term payoff of exacting retribution on al-Qaida is worth the risk that such strikes could elevate the group's profile in the region, alienate governments the U.S. needs to fight the group in the future and do little to slow the growing terror threat in North Africa.

Details on the administration's position and on its search for a possible target were provided by three current and one former administration official, as well as an analyst who was approached by the White House for help. All four spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the high-level debates publicly.

How The GM Bailout Turned Into Foreign Aid.......

Mr.President....you pick Losers....period....dot.
As a Small Business owner...I know what it's like 24 hours a day to worry about staying afloat. Money is the number one concern...thought as you go to bed and the second you wake up....because....
It's up to US to keep it flowing....nobody else.
It must be nice to pick a Company you "like"...turn on the ATM machine ( Taxpayer funds ) and expect them to run efficiently when there is no market and no incentive. 

Before the bailout of General Motors, it was well understood that the world’s largest automaker was losing huge amounts of money in the US and was staying afloat thanks to stronger performance in overseas markets. Since the bailout, however, that dynamic has been turned on its head. Thanks to a leaner manufacturing footprint, debt eliminations and steadily recovering sales, GM’s US operations have generated the lion’s share of the company’s profit since the bailout. And now, as the rest of the world economy slows, GM is spending more and more of its taxpayer-enhanced cash pile to shore up its faltering foreign divisions. In fact, according to an analysis of GM’s SEC filings, the company is likely to incur over $6.5 billion in losses and expenditures overseas in the 2011-2014 period, not counting over $1.6b in foreign potential legal liabilities or several other incalculable expenses that could add up to billions more.

Ryan’s Benghazi Surprise......

In fact, Ryan’s Benghazi slam, right out of the chute, won him the debate. This terrorist attack is going to be a huge presidential-race issue. Americans are furious at the Obama-Biden-Clinton stupidity and mismanagement surrounding the tragic Benghazi deaths. They are enraged at the Benghazi cover-up. Ryan accused Biden of malfeasance in every aspect of this tragedy. It was a tremendous body slam right from the start.

The White House Disinformation Campaign on Libya .....

The attack on our Ambassador in Lybia....not "spontaneous"....

It was "Planned"....planned by Al Qaeda....deliberately to happen on 9/11...

 The last time I heard those two items (Al Qaeda and planned ) in the same paragraph was 9/11/01.

New evidence shows there were security threats in Libya in the months prior to the deadly September 11 attack that killed U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans. Despite these threats, the State Department left its personnel there to fend for themselves.

CBS’ Lara Logan Speaks Out, Says Islamists Hate Us Now More Than Ever......

During a recent keynote address at the Better Government Association annual luncheon last Tuesday, Logan delivered what the Chicago Sun Times called “a provocative speech” to some 1,100 movers in government, politics, media, and the legal and corporate arenas. She explained that the Taliban, al Qaeda and its proxies haven’t gone away and are in fact re-energized and coming back in force. Logan also informed the crowd that a “lie” is being propagated by the American government.

Mitt Romney Foreign Policy Speech At VMI ....

This man understands that apologies do not work....  

"Speak softly and carry a big stick; you will go far".

The attacks against us in Libya were not an isolated incident. They were accompanied by anti-American riots in nearly two dozen other countries, mostly in the Middle East, but also in Africa and Asia. Our embassies have been attacked. Our flag has been burned. Many of our citizens have been threatened and driven from their overseas homes by vicious mobs, shouting “Death to America.” These mobs hoisted the black banner of Islamic extremism over American embassies on the anniversary of the September 11th attacks.
