| Appearing on Monday's NBC Today, MSNBC Morning Joe co-hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski asserted that impending Hurricane Sandy would help Barack Obama in the election, with Scarborough proclaiming: "Mitt Romney had momentum….This was Mitt Romney's best weekend, and it stops. The momentum stops." Brzezinski eagerly predicted how the President would be perceived during the storm: "…expect command centers up and down the east coast and the President to be very visible at all of them, telling people about the federal dollars that are on the way, and that will be advantage Obama."Meanwhile, she claimed Romney

Obama will NEVER LOOK Presidential never mind BE Presidential.
Romney is rasising private money for hurricane relief without costing the taxpayer one thin dime!
Now That's Presidential!

Yeah right. The night before landfall people were still getting fund raising emails from the won. Romney was sending emails with advice on storm preps and prayers for those in it's path. Then today I read that 0bama wants the millions without power to go online to sign up for relief.

If by looking presidential Joe means Obama will quit looking down his snooty nose at everybody, if that means he might shake hands with a grieving parent with something a lot firmer than a dead fish hand, if that means he will admit there's a problem with the security at our embassies, then maybe I'll believe you. Unless and untl, nope!

Hell will freeze over before Obama looks presidential. He missed out on Bhengazi because he's a lazy treasonous coward, and when that blew back in his face he thought he'd better do something about Sandy. So he told people to stay indoors and use the internet. Good advice Zero. What about not having electricity and the work of saving one's family? The govenors did their jobs preparing their states. What did you do during Bhengazi - you went to Vegas to campaign. You are a dispicable cretin.

Yes, that's real presidential - tell people to go to the 'net without power. Talk about not having your finger on the pulse.
The governors have done a great job trying to get people to move. Those who didn't paid for it in various ways. Christie's, "Me being right and you being dead is not a good equation," was right on the money.

It will only halt Mitt's momentum if Mitt continues his campaign moratorium. Same trap McCain fell into. Mitt needs to get back on the trail, making the point that this nation is big enough to take care of this disaster and conduct the election as scheduled - both at the same time. This is the nation that fought a two-front war in the 1940's, waged war in Vietnam and landed a man on the moon in the 1960's, and has demonstrated its ability to multi-task on several other occasions.

Daily Caller had an article about Obama campaign's death rattle. This mad hope looks like death rattle to me, and as for postponing the election, hey, I guess they are not looking forward to it Since there is a bleed toward Romney I think a delay may be an extremely bad idea, turn a loss into an all out rout of the Donks. Cannot delay it forever and more time is just more time to talk about Benghazi and about how we have never been so weak we had to delay an election before and how this is a f*ing bunch of stalinists, etc. Yo, I'd hurry if it I were a Donk.

Disasters can clearly change moods and momentum. But I have a feeling that this disaster is just going to limit the opportunity of the media to create a load of election hype in Obama's favor. It is hard to look really good to people when they are without power, can't get around and can't work.

Mitt Romney is out giving aid to victims. He knows how to help those in need. This is not new to him. It is something he has done his entire life and comes naturally to him.
Obama does not know how to begin to help anyone other than himself. All he knows is to incite malcontents to riot.
Mitt Romney is a leader and will make a wonderful President.

Obama just reads his speeches. He does not have the moral integrity to speak from his heart! Just listen to this man. He does not show any emotion when he speaks other than when he cusses or uses fear to scare the public.
Obama has not lived up to the media's tribute to him! They and him will be held accountable.
Thank God for the Internet, especially Lucianne, and also conservative talk radio where the populace is able to share their minds/hearts/souls/spirits and not maligned.

WASHINGTON— President Barack Obama supports requiring girls younger than 17 to see a doctor before buying the morning-after pill. But fighting that battle in court comes with its own set of risks. A federal judge in New York on Friday ordered the Food and Drug Administration to lift age restrictions on the sale of emergency contraception, ending the requirement that buyers show proof they’re 17 or older if they want to buy it without a prescription. The ruling accused the Obama administration in no uncertain terms of letting the president’s pending re-election cloud its judgment when it

Projecting madly, the White House on Sunday pushed the notion that Republican intransigence is the reason that Democrats have been unable to pass a budget during President Obama’s tenure. “Right now,” said senior White House advisor Dan Pfeiffer on Fox News Sunday, “the approach of many Republicans, particularly the leadership in the House, is my way or the highway.” This is certainly rich coming from an administration that has failed to garner a single “yes” vote on its budget proposals for the past several years, even from members of its own party.

The president golfed with White House aides Marvin Nicholson, Joe Paulsen, and Michael Brush. Last Saturday, the president played golf at the same course with Nicholson, Brush, and friend and Chicago businessman Marty Nesbitt.

No doubt there are parents who have frank, frequent, open and easy discussions with their teens about sex. I’ve never met any. I do know parents, however, who were stunned to find their 15-year-old’s birth control pills in her pocketbook. Or who came home early to discover junior and a girl they’d never met frantically buttoning up. Or who found out — when their children were grown — what really went on when Meghan said she was sleeping over at Ashley’s.

Last fall, Ginnette Powell traveled from her home in Boston´s Dorchester section to her old middle school in South Boston - a journey of just two miles, but one that covered a huge emotional distance. Finally, she was able to leave the painful past behind. Powell endured the explosive battle over desegregation in Boston in the 1970s. Tears come to her eyes when she talks about how it took her decades to return to the place where she never felt safe as an African-American seventh-grader."It was scary because of what you were going into, getting bricks thrown at your bus.

Kennedy, Lindalyn Adams was escorting visitors on a bus traveling down Elm Street near Dealey Plaza. “I was pointing out the John Neely Bryan cabin and the Old Red Courthouse, and suddenly I realized the whole bus was leaning towards the right as we were going close to the Texas School Book Depository, and the women [were] pointing and saying, “Is that?

"She was everything a foreign service officer should be: smart, capable, eager to serve, and deeply committed to our country and the difference she was making for the Afghan people," Kerry said of the slain official.

President Obama´s biggest gaffe yesterday when speaking of California Attorney General Kamala Harris was not in flirtatiously complimenting her as "the best-looking attorney general," but in introducing an observation from the system of beauty into a forum that was about the system of power.What´s that, you say?

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”

Los Angeles — Some people have had it with TV. They´ve had enough of the 100-plus channel universe. They don´t like timing their lives around network show schedules. They´re tired of $100-plus monthly bills. A growing number of them have stopped paying for cable and satellite TV service, and don´t even use an antenna to get free signals over the air. (Snip) Last month, the Nielsen Co. started labeling people in this group "Zero TV" households, because they fall outside the traditional definition of a TV home. There are 5 million of these residences in the U.S., up from

On Friday, Sean Hannity brought Pat Smith, mother of the late Sean Smith, on his radio program. The 34-year-old information management officer was one of four Americans murdered in the Benghazi embassy attack on September 11, 2012. In the chilling interview, a distraught Ms. Smith, in tears, pleaded for answers and spoke of the efforts to silence her. Ms. Smith first relayed how her son, prior to the attack, requested additional security in advance and warned the State Department: He did tell them, ahead of time, he typed it into his little typewriter over there,

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank

No one is more preoccupied these days with Hillary Clinton´s 2016 plans than the Beltway political class—not even the former presidential candidate herself. To hear some tell it, her decision will be dispositive for all other Democrats thinking of entering the race. And pundits and reporters aren´t the only ones positing the "The Hillary Factor": No less than the House Democratic whip, Steny Hoyer, told BuzzFeed, “I don´t know that anybody would run against Hillary…. If she runs, she clears the field.” It´s an understandable conclusion, given Clinton´s stature in the Democratic Party and her 70 percent

I hope all will look at a lifetime of service over some poorly chosen words.” Carson will remain as commencement speaker at Johns Hopkins,

Susan Patton, the Princeton alumna who became famous for her letter urging Ivy League women to use their college years to find a mate, has been denounced as a traitor to feminism, to coeducation, to the university ideal. But really she’s something much more interesting: a traitor to her class. Her betrayal consists of being gauche enough to acknowledge publicly a truth that everyone who’s come up through Ivy League culture knows intuitively —

The couple, who married on April 4, 2008, took in the sights of Old Havana, visited a school, dined on a rooftop terrace and strolled the fan-filled streets in their island best.(snip).The power couple declined to answer journalists´ questions about their visit to the island nation, but some outlets are reporting that the moguls are there as tourists, though that would be illegal because of the half-century embargo the U.S. has on the Communist country.
