| In his latest fundraising email to supporters, President Barack Obama says, "Michelle and I will be fine no matter what happens" in the election. Instead, Obama's trying to win the contest "for our country and middle-class families." Here's the full pitch: I don't want to lose this election. Not because of what losing would mean for me -- Michelle and I will be fine no matter what happens. But because of what it would mean for our country and middle-class families. This race is very close.

This is very telling. I'll bet his campaign handlers are groaning and scolding him in private after this one. You don't ever publicly admit the possibility of defeat, no matter how you couch it with other supposedly hopeful words. His ego is so big that he must have been unusually downbeat about something to let this comment slide in.
If it were really "all tied up", he wouldn't have said it. This man is speaking like a man who came out of a meeting where the DNC's own hidden internal polls confirmed he's definitely losing in Ohio and the rest of the swing states. For the first time, he's beginning to not believe his own BS propaganda any more.

November will be here... and so will a war, martial law, and a plethera of Executive Orders nullifying any elections because of world unrest.

May you be just as fine as the private sector economy you have destroyed. May there be a huge surge in private sector confidence the day after your loss so that the GOP has enough spine to prevent any further destruction until the replacements come on board in early January. May God remind you of your attacks on the liberties He gave to the people of this nation when you ask him why you have been brought low.

Sure, you and Michelle will be fine because we the taxpayers will be paying you $191000 a year for the rest of your life; you will also receive Secret Service protection and office expenses all at our expense. If you really cared about those who are out of work, you would forgo your "pension" package. Oops, sorry, I know that is something you just cannot do. You will take our money and run around the world with your teleprompters making thousands of dollars for your dumb speeches and laughing all the way to the bank. You'll be just fine.

They'll be fine? No kidding. They're going to a $37 million estate in Hawaii that is being financed by the Penny Pritzker money (she's the heiress to the Hyatt money using the cover of raising money for the Obama library (smallest library in the world since his penchant for personal education, study, research, and facts have proven books don't matter to him) . Supposedly Ms. Pritzker already has sosme $17 million already banked and is raising the rest. This was widely talked about in the last few weeks and supposedly it was the big mouth mother-in-law who blew the cover when she talked about looking forward to no more Chicago winters.
These grifters will be missed by no one with an IQ that cracks 15.

I don't like fajitas. I mean, I really don't like the smell, the sizzle, or the texture of beef fajitas. If I'm in a Mexican restaurant eating enchiladas and some waitdude or dudette swings a plate of that nasty stuff by my table, it ruins my dinner. Obama is the heaping pile of steaming rancid overcooked leathery gristle that the restaurant wants you to smash between a tortilla and throw as much fixin's on it that will make it semi-palatable. It's always a disappointment when you cherish the taste of the wrapper and heave the ingredients down a low-flow toilet that backs up just before you go to vote for a new president.
I'm pretty much done with having a stinkin' fajita shoved down my throat every day for the last four years and being forced to pay for it.
(ok, weak analogy, but I really don't like fajitas) Zippy and Mooch will be just fine. Do us all a favor, you two, and stay away from our table, the stench is overwhelming.

Democrat presidents never leave. They want to be caught at being more criminal than they let on, and that you thought. Depend on the sealed documents coming out. Maybe a book spilling the beans on who played along with not vetting. His gay friends and their parties in the Lincoln bedroom. His muslim friends everywhere, and how he knew McCain would stop Bachmann's inquiry. How close he came to working that chaos thing into a caliphate. What the video was all about. That ring he wears so openly. The scars. The real father. How he came to be groomed for his role, from American cipher and undistinguished senator, to leftist mastermind. He wants you to know he was the worst that ever was. Hillary as a blackmailer? Hillary's FBI files are to be measured the way she will be measured under him. He wants to continue to outrage and send tingles of breathtaking awe to his congregants. In any future battle between picking the most virtuous brilliant American candidate, or the dangerous and cosmic evil genius, he must reign like Miles Davis over any white wigger pretender. Unless he needs the same help to move him into the U.N. or whatever is now more prized than the intentionally ruined American Presidency. He was done with it in a year and a half, and the white journalist class never caught on.

TRENTON — Talk about an odd couple. Liberal media mogul Arianna Huffington is bringing GOP star Gov. Chris Christie to the White House Correspondents´ dinner later this month. The governor will feel at home with the Huffington Post founder´s other guests: New Jersey natives Jon Bon Jovi of Sayreville and Shaquille O´Neal of Newark, according to Women´s Wear Daily, which first reported the invites. Shaq recently visited Christie at the Statehouse in Trenton. Christie was one half of an unusual pairing last year, too, when he made headlines for sitting next to bombshell "Modern Family" actress Sofia Vegara.

Twenty-nine current or former Harper students have been shot in the last year, eight of them fatally, her office said. The school is in the West Englewood neighborhood.

NORFOLK, Va.— A top general says federal budget cuts that will ground one-third of the U.S. Air Force´s active-duty force of combat planes including fighters and bombers means "accepting the risk that combat airpower may not be ready to respond immediately to new contingencies as they occur."Gen. Mike Hostage, commander of Air Combat Command at Joint Base Langley-Eustis in Virginia, issued the warning Tuesday as the Pentagon braces for more effects of the automatic spending cuts triggered by the lack of a budget agreement in Washington. Hostage said that only the units preparing to deploy to major operations,

I don´t mean in a Nazis vs Communists, Hitler vs Stalin, way. I mean in a moderate way: Conservative activists vs Labour activists, you might say. It´s difficult to imagine Conservative activists behaving like the people who celebrated Margaret Thatcher´s death in Glasgow and Brixton. That´s partly because it´s hard to think of any Left-wing leader who had as powerful an effect on the country as she did. But, still, between them, Harold Wilson and Jim Callaghan – with quite a lot of help from Edward Heath – led to a disastrous decline in British fortunes in the 1970s,

House Republican leaders on Wednesday criticized President Obama for conditioning the entitlement reforms in his budget on GOP support for higher taxes. While they said Obama “deserves some credit” for including entitlement reforms in his spending blueprint, they said the president shouldn’t hold the plan “hostage” in the debate over tax revenues. “While the president has backtracked on some of his entitlement reforms that were in conversations that we had a year and a half ago, he does deserve some credit for come incremental entitlement reforms that he has outlined in his budget,” Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) told reporters Wednesday

The U.S. Postal Service on Wednesday said it will delay a cost-cutting plan to end Saturday mail delivery, following congressional action that blocked the effort. Congress passed a temporary federal spending bill last month including language that prevents the agency -- which lost $15.9 billion last year -- from going to a Monday-to-Friday mail delivery schedule. The agency, which wanted to begin the new schedule Aug. 5, said the decision was made Tuesday by its board of governors. “By including restrictive language in the Continuing Resolution, Congress has prohibited implementation of a new national delivery schedule,”

President Obama´s budget plan would increase taxes by $580 billion over the next decade, but it relies on many proposals that have been repeatedly rejected by Congress. Some were rejected as recently as January, when Congress voted to make permanent a series of tax cuts first enacted under President George W. Bush. Among them, a proposal to limit itemized deductions for high-income families. One new proposal is a 94 cents-a-pack increase in the cigarette tax. The tax would raise an estimated $78 billion over the next decade to pay for early childhood education.

PITTSBURGH – Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas said Tuesday he is heartbroken over the persistent poverty and social troubles among many black communities but has no answers on how to solve these problems. Thomas spoke to an appreciative audience at Duquesne Law School in Pittsburgh. The crowd of about 1,200 people responded with both applause and laughter as he discussed politics, the makeup of the Supreme Court, race, and his own struggles to find his path in life. Thomas said he doesn’t bear any ill-will toward other people who hold views sharply different from his.

Life News reports: ...a former employee described how she heard a baby scream during a live-birth abortion. Abortion clinic employee Sherry West described an incident which "really freaked (her) out" and related to the jury how she heard a child who was born alive following an abortion scream.

HARTFORD, Conn. -- With time running out on the chance to pass gun control legislation, President Barack Obama on Monday warned Congress not to use delaying tactics against tighter regulations and told families of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting victims that he´s "determined as ever" to honor their children with tougher laws. Obama´s gun control proposals have run into resistance on Capitol Hill, leaving their fate in doubt. Efforts by Senate Democrats to reach compromise with Republicans over expanding required federal background checks have yet to yield an agreement, and conservatives were promising to try

Beginning a week of high pressure on gun control, the White House on Monday accused some Republican senators of cowardice for planning to filibuster gun legislation without allowing the full Senate to vote on President Obama’s initiatives. “If they oppose this legislation, have the courage to say so on the floor and vote no,” said White House press secretary Jay Carney. “Don’t block it. Don’t hide behind a procedural action to prevent a vote. That’s the wrong thing to do, and that’s how the president clearly feels.”

The sequester may have many across the country singing the blues, but for President Obama, it was all about Memphis Soul. Even with the threat of furloughs and government cuts sparked by the sequester, Obama took the time to enjoy a star-studded concert at the White House tonight. The White House celebration of Memphis Soul music in the East Room--which included special guest appearances by Queen Latifah and Justin Timberlake--is likely to rile Obama´s Republican foes. Some conservatives have called on Obama to give up golf, especially since popular public tours of the White House have been canceled because of

In the message he issued along with his budget proposal on Wednesday morning, President Barack Obama said he wants to see 4-year-old children in the United States enrolled in public schools. Obama said America needs to start enrolling 4-year-olds to make sure the children are “better prepared for the demands of the global economy” and to help parents save on "child-care costs." After saying the United States needs to “equip our citizens with the skills and training” to fill jobs in manufacturing, energy and infrastructure, Obama said, “And that has to start at the earliest possible age.”

Although the first votes on gun -control legislation have yet to be cast, by some measures the National Rifle Association has already won. Obama’s ambitious plans to ban assault weapons and limit magazine capacities are off the table, while the NRA suggested it could support the most likely outcome -- expanded background checks -- as recently as 1999. The NRA claims that the president’s efforts have triggered a fundraising surge and boosted its membership from 4 million to nearly 5 million.

This week, progressive groups, including MoveOn, the Progressive Change Campaign Committee, and Democracy for America, have mounted "emergency" online campaigns against the proposal, accusing Obama of

Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Kathleen Sebelius conceded Monday that implementing the Affordable Care Act has been more complicated and frustrating than the Obama administration expected, largely due to Republicans who have opposed the law´s state-based exchanges and Medicaid expansion. "The politics has been relentless and that continues," Sebelius said. "There was some hope that once the Supreme Court ruled in July, and then once an election occurred there would be a sense that, ´This is the law of the land, let´s get on board, let´s make this work.´"
