The FIRST Presidential Debate between President Obama and Mitt Romney is tonight 9pm Eastern start time.
Just about every TV station on the planet is carrying it live. We will attempt to live blog thoughout the debate. Please share your thoughts and perspectives in the comments.
There comes a moment, a decisive yet unnerving moment, when the thunderclap of death shatters the silence of comfortable avoidance. In such moments a stark truth surfaces, and often within that TRUTH a larger awakening occurs.
Let this be that moment. (more…)
U.S. President Barack Obama issued a new executive order last week to fight human trafficking, touting his administration’s handling of the issue.
“When a little boy is kidnapped, turned into a child soldier, forced to kill or be killed — that’s slavery,” Obama said in a speech at the Clinton Global Initiative. “It is barbaric, and it is evil, and it has no place in a civilized world. Now, as a nation, we’ve long rejected such cruelty.”
But for the third year in a row, Obama has waived almost all U.S. sanctions that would punish certain countries that use child soldiers, upsetting many in the human rights community. (more…)
HatTip N.A.
You know a video touches a nerve when the DNC, and the media simultaneously react to diminish it. Less than an hour from the time Hannity reported on the Daily Caller video the Legacy media was in full Defense mode. Unreal.
Newt focuses on the transferable attributes.
“It’s a reminder of the depth of dishonesty, the appeals to racism, the factual falsehoods that are at the heart of the modern left. What then Senator Obama said was factually false. New Orleans got far more money than New York City. New Orleans got a great deal of money that was not matched by the Stafford Act… Factual inaccuracies are at the heart of the modern left. If they have to rely on the facts they’ll lose every time.“
Prepare for the pathetic onslaught accusations of “racism” for pointing out what President Obama actually says…..
Now that The Daily Caller has uncovered and published video of President Barack Obama’s “other race speech,” liberal media figures are once again trying to quell coverage of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright story — just like in 2008. (more…)
In a video obtained exclusively by The Daily Caller, then-presidential candidate Barack Obama tells an audience of black ministers, including the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, that the U.S. government shortchanged Hurricane Katrina victims because of racism.
“The people down in New Orleans they don’t care about as much!” Obama shouts in the video, which was shot in June of 2007 at Hampton University in Virginia. By contrast, survivors of Sept. 11 and Hurricane Andrew received generous amounts of aid, Obama explains. The reason? Unlike residents of majority-black New Orleans, the federal government considers those victims “part of the American family.”
The racially charged and at times angry speech undermines Obama’s carefully-crafted image as a leader eager to build bridges between ethnic groups. For nearly 40 minutes, using an accent he almost never adopts in public, Obama describes a racist, zero-sum society, in which the white majority profits by exploiting black America. The mostly black audience shouts in agreement. The effect is closer to an Al Sharpton rally than a conventional campaign event. (more…)
Latest Benghazi-Gate Developments – Whistleblowers inform congressional committee that two prior attacks on the Benghazi US Consulate, and numerous credible threats, led to Ambassador Stevens and staff requesting additional security. Their request was denied. Congress asks State Dept for answers.
Reporters ask Jay Carney: Jay Carney says “No Comment“; Gee, you think they have something to hide? Four reports below:
Report #1 – (Daily Beast) Jihadists twice set off explosives at the consulate prior to the incident that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens, and announced threats on Facebook about escalating attacks on Western targets in the run-up to the 9/11 anniversary, according to whistleblowers reaching out to House Republicans.
In the five months leading up to this year’s 9/11 anniversary, there were two bombings on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi and increasing threats to and attacks on the Libyan nationals hired to provide security at the U.S. missions in Tripoli and Benghazi. (more…)
But he’s got plenty of whine….
