The fact that he is willing to have Obama on Celebrity Apprentice if he loses the election? I can't imagine what that blowhard has to say that will affect anyones vote. If it is so important why his he waiting until Wednesday?

It is all about State Rights v Federal Rights is it? So you don't want the federal government to tell us what to do but you are ok with the State government? Let's go back to the Articles of Confederation if that is what you want. Hell why don't we go back to the Feudal states of medieval Europe? I am a pragmatist, I look at what we have to work with and try to make the best of a situation. Are we in an ideal situation with our government and our governmental dependance? Or course not. Should we burn the whole to the ground and start fresh, hell no. Government should function as a pr

DOMA is a federal law that was passed, that two Presidents had a direct affect on (Clinton who signed it; Obama who has stopped enforcing it). There is who is allowed to serve in our military. There is immigration policy. One of the most important jobs, if not the most important job, of a president is to nominate and appoint federal and supreme court judges. These judges will end up ruling on many "social issues." So to completely discount the role that social issues play in presidential elections is shortsighted and foolish. I always find Libertarians an interesting group. They g

This is what drives me nuts about the media (especially those on the right). They latch on to something and repeat it over and over again until they believe it and the people watching them believe it. You drive for any period of time you are bound to see dozens of gas stations with the price blazon on signs. If you are like me you notice more when the price goes up rather then if it goes down. The media is trying to correlate the price jumps and spikes as a measurement of the President's job performance. Nothing could be further than the truth. It is sad really that people buy into this

Truthfully the only things that a President could do directly effect gas prices is Urge Congress to reduce or eliminate the 18.4 cents per gallon federal gas tax. Use the US strategic oil reserves to increase supply thus lowering demand but to do this the oil would have to be sold at little or no cost. Also increase fuel standards on vehicles to reduce consumption. This won't affect the price of a gallon too much but if you are filling your tank ever other week instead of every week it would save somewhere in the amount 1200.00 dollars a year. This won't come until 2025. http://www.whiteho

Heartbreak your link quotes experts and people who know what they are talking about. Everyone knows that right next to the red phone there is a big dial labeled gas prices, and PBO is refusing to turn it lower it because he hates America.

My god, I thought the same thing.

Well this is interesting. Apparently pull yourself by your own bootstraps anti federal help received money to help turn Bain Capital around. Not that there is anything wrong with that. It just goes against pretty much everything he has said and preaches. So there is that. http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/news/the-federal-bailout-that-saved-mitt-romney-20120829#ixzz29ZpDICah

I am as guilty as anyone on this, but isn't kinda sad that we are talking about who is "winning" this. 4 people died, and we are debating who controls the messaging. Politics thine perspective is lost. BTW I love XM's POTUS channel. I don't have XM myself but every time I get to drive my dad's car that is the first station I turn to.

What an odd thing to say. I know what meant to say, but the phrasing was so weird. I love the fact that it has become an internet meme. http://bindersfullofwomen.tumblr.com I think it should be corrected to say "... Republicans were winning on the message in the media..." After last night you will see a switch, maybe not from Fox, but other sources.

I really think the message has been so muddled because of the disinformation by the right wing media. They immediately jumped on the attack and politicized it to make the President look bad. Here are the myths and lies being spread about the Administration's response to the attack and facts that refute them. http://mediamatters.org/research/2012/09/26/myths-and-facts-about-the-benghazi-attack-and-p/190150#c It would have helped Mitt Romney last night if that was something he used in his debate prep.

How so? Remember, it is very unlikely they will show the show exchange on TV again. They will show Mitt saying the president didn't call it an act of terror, and Mitt being completely wrong and hit by the moderator. Apparently Mitt gets his news from the right wing talking heads and believes them. http://foxnewsinside...n-libya-attack/ No where in this speech did he mention a video or blame a video. Also what Mitt did after the attacks is to immediately release a statement (before all facts where known) to try to score points and then later when the facts where made clear he and

The next moderator is Bob Schieffer. I always liked Bob, good solid, not flashy. I think this one will focus on foreign policy, but not really sure. The biggest moment was the Libya exchange. Mitt looked really dumb on that one. Ass kicking no, but it was a swift punch in the mouth.

They didn't do it with the Biden Romney debate they prolly won't do it now. Steve Schmidt said something interesting, Obama didn't win in the totality of the debate, but in the sound bites that will be repeated in the media he crushed Mitt.

Remember if a pundits complains about the moderator or how mean the other guy was, is actually code for their guy lost.

He also knows facts and figures and stuff. He also explains stuff with a folky charm. http://youtu.be/mB7I0vpwT7M

Finally something that we can all agree on. If you feel it necessary to post a picture like that, at minimum do it as a link with a warning. It is not that I think we should discuss subjects like that, but I don't want think I should be subjected to such an atrocity without a bit of warning. I request, Sparky with all respect, that you modify your post, remove the picture and replace it with a link.

So no one wants to talk about Dishwashergate? Yes, photo-ops are staged all the time, but with Paul Ryan's fuzzy relationship with the truth, don't you think you would have wanted to stage a photo-op where he was wanted? Or a heaven forbid actually do some work? Or how about that Paul Ryan is exploiting a group that his policies will severely hurt.

Since you are refusing to expound or impart any knowledge, I can only surmise your point. I think what you are trying to say is that Hilary Clinton taking responsibility for the Bengazi attack was the right and moral thing to do. It was an Embassy that got attacked and foreign Embassies are the responsibility of the State Department and as head of the State Department, the failure to protect that Embassy falls directly to her. Also the response to the attack came from the State Department, so the White House was using that intel when discussing how and why the attacks occurred. Secondl

Are you just typing words and hoping they will make sense? Or do you have a cogent point to make here?

Or the fact he got us out Iraq and has a finite plan to get us out of Afghanistan? and from now on I am going to assume that it is safe to skip Sparky's posts because they are boiled down to this:

This is interesting: Hillary Clinton takes responsibility for the Bengazi attacks A couple of things here: 1. In today's 24 hour media cycle does anyone care about Bengazi anymore (or even remember?) 2. Does anyone care who takes responsibility (or do they have a preconceived notion of what happened and blame Obama no matter what) 3. Is Hillary falling on a sword for Obama to help win re-election? 4. Does this signify anything for 2016 (Clinton not running, possibly?) 5. What effect does this have on the debate Tuesday? What do you think PBO will say about it? a. does he skirt

I think Rick Santorum used that in the Republican Debates. But he said Obameycare.

91% Jill Stien - Green Party 88% Barack Obama - Democrat 76% Rocky Anderson - Justice Party 61% Gary Johnson - Libertarian 17% Mitt Romney - Republican About what I figured.
