President Obama may have suspended his campaign rallies due to Hurricane Sandy, but he managed to squeeze in his campaign slogan — intentionally or not — during a briefing Tuesday with federal emergency officials.

“The president made clear that he expects his team to remain focused as the immediate impacts of Hurricane Sandy continue and lean forward in their response,” the White House said in a statement about Mr. Obama’s video-teleconference that he conducted from the White House Situation Room. “Forward” is the slogan of his re-election campaign.

We are beginning to see moderate to marginal media re-positioning on the presidential race, polling, and electoral map predictions.   This is a huge, albeit subtle, shift for the media – but signals a MASSIVE pending defeat for President Obama.

The disparity between the media propaganda, and the actual in-real-life expected results has now reached “wisconsin recall levels” on the broader national stage of predictive politics.   In Wisconsin 2011 the media was selling the story of a resounding Scott Walker defeat to be expected, they sold it as an all but certainty.   The media maintained this guise up to, and including  on, election day when they swore it was going to be a nailbiter but Walker looked to be a dead man walking.

The polls closed at 9pm EST – The election was called for Scott Walker by 9:40pm, and he delivered his victory speech within the hour.    Wasn’t even close.  It was a media ruse.

Same is going on today with the Presidential race.   But the media needs a sniglet of wiggle room to back away lest they be identified for all time to come as the propaganda mouthpieces that they are. (more…)

Seriously?   That’s the plan, or, well, the latest version, of, um, well, the newest plan?  A “Secretary of Business”.

THE HILL – President Obama says he would like to establish a “secretary of Business” if he wins a second term.   In an interview with MSNBC, the president said he wants to consolidate a number of business and trade-related agencies, creating a “one-stop shop” for oversight.  (more)

Yeah, right.   Because, well, the Energy Dept has done such a great job of making us “energy independent”; and the Education Department has done such a great job of raising education standards and controlling costs;   and the “Commerce Department” has done such a great job of eliminating market barriers and trade restrictions;  and the “Regulatory Czar” (Cass Sunstein) has done such a great job of eliminating burdensome regulatory restrictions and red-tape.

[See:  squiggley lightbulbs that don’t light, washing machines that don’t wash, electric cars that catch fire, and perhaps worst of all  toilets that don’t flush, etc]

Really, that’s what you’ve got.   Another plan for MORE and BIGGER government.? (more…)

Oh the wind is lashing lustily
And the trees are thrashing thrustily
And the leaves are rustling gustily
So it’s rather safe to say…
That it seems it may turn out to be
It feels that it will undoubtedly
It looks like a rather blustery day, today
It sounds that it may turn out to be
Feels that it will undoubtedly
Looks like a rather blustery day today

[Re-Elect Obama] Last night, the Obama campaign was sending email requests into Annapolis, Maryland, for help with phone-banking.   The time? 5:30 pm, right when Sandy is supposed to be at its worst there. (more…)

WE GOT THIS  –  Team Obama must be having fits right now. Hollywood going batty thinking about all the money they poured into their guy who is going down in flames…. Obama/Biden crashing simultaneous to Romney/Ryan Surging.

(TheHill) Mitt Romney gained a point over President Obama, according to a Gallup daily tracking poll released Monday, and now holds a healthy 5-percentage-point national lead.

Romney took 51 percent support in the poll of likely voters, compared to 46 percent for Obama.

The GOP nominee also pulled even with Obama among registered voters, 48 percent to 48, after trailing by a point on Sunday.  The survey is a rolling seven-day average through Oct. 28, so it has almost fully digested voter sentiment since last Monday’s third and final presidential debate. (more…)

[WSJ] The U.S. Labor Department on Monday said it hasn’t made a decision yet on whether to delay Friday’s October jobs report, the final reading on the labor market before next week’s federal elections. (more…)

I’ll quickly look for links to this breaking story but Fox News Coorespondant Jennifer Griffin is now reporting:   “on the ground annex sources are telling her directly” when SEAL’s Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty disobeyed orders to “stand down” they instead “walked” while under fire to the Consulate compound from the CIA Annex.

They walked there, approximately a half mile, retrieved the consulate employees, and walked them back to the Annex.   Woods and Doherty were not in an armored SUV as previously reported.   They were on Foot and they were taking fire while doing so. (more…)
