President Obama’s jokes can’t hide the truth
Boston Herald ^ | 10/19/12 | Joe Battenfeld

MANCHESTER, N.H. — President Obama can make all the jokes he want about Mitt Romney’s “binders,” but Obama’s the one in the bind.

He’s tossed everything and the kitchen sink at Romney. He’s even thrown in Big Bird. Now he’s calling Mitt “sketchy” — a term women use to describe men who give them the willies.

But scare tactics and one-liners won’t work anymore. Romney’s impressive performance in the first debate, and mostly solid showing in the second, has rendered Obama’s attacks mostly ineffectual.

Even Obama’s perceived gift in this week’s debate — moderator Candy Crowley “fact-checking” Romney over his claim that the president never said the attacks in Libya were due to an “act of terror” — hasn’t had much impact. All the exchange did was ensure that the terror attacks would dominate the next few days of the campaign.

The final debate Monday night is on foreign policy — without questions from alleged “uncommitted” voters — so that should help Romney make his case that the White House has been weak in responding to the attacks.

So barring a third debate collapse, Romney is heading into Election Day in a strong or at least even position in most swing states such as Ohio and New Hampshire, which means he has a good shot at winning the White House.

“All of this is conspiring with Benghazi and the debates with a general Obama fatigue in this country, and that’s a hard headwind for any president to pull off,” New Hampshire GOP strategist Patrick Griffin said.

At an outdoor rally in downtown Manchester, the president tried his best to look confident, but in interviews with some supporters, there was an air of concern. Four years ago, Obama took New Hampshire by 9 points and now he’s deadlocked with a guy

Instead of parsing what the President said on Sept. 12, maybe the focus should be on the criminal negligence that led to the ambassador and the other three Americans being killed on Sept. 11.

Even if Geraldo is right to claim that the video helped enrage the attackers, we know there were other things that Obama did that also enraged them--the recent kill (drone strike, I think) of one of the top Libyan terrorists, and his bragging over killing Bin Laden.

Besides the screw-up in Libya, whether negligent or deliberate, his leaking of classified information for political gain should be a major issue. Also his narcissitic rush to announce the death of Bin Laden, which prevented the intelligence experts from sifting through the captured documents to identify and take out key figures in Bin Laden's network before Al Qaeda learned that Bin Laden had been killed. That almost ranks with Bill Clinton's refusal to take Bin Laden when the government of the Sudan offered to hand him over.

Churchill once said ‘The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is.’

It will take years to undo the damages of the hopefully, one term fool.

I’ll never understand how ANYONE could look at that picture and still tingle for obama. Most of them will say “I have a friend who’s a muslim” and that’s supposed to explain it all.

his narcissitic rush to announce the death of Bin Laden,

Yeah, I didn't like the way they killed him. Why couldn't they light him on fire and drop him from 20 feet...a hundred times?

Just to make sure, the campaign passed out “Women for Obama” signs for the crowd to hold up...“We don’t have to order up some binders to find qualified, talented, driven young women who can learn and excel in these fields right now,” Obama said.

Hey Barkie, ya mutt!

(It's a dog eat dog world out there, ain-it?)

He wasn't looking for Flukie-sluts. He was looking for expert policy wonks who happened to be women.

We already know how your misogynist White House crowd treats its female staff members. ("like a piece of meat")
