The Obama administration scandal over Libya has multiple aspects — the initial denial and downgrading of security, the mishandling of the event as it progressed, and of course, the political cover up.

Obama was too busy campaigning to care, and Hillary has some explaining to do. As to Susan Rice, she either...

After my post on September 24, Elizabeth Warren’s law license problem, one of the main defenses of Warren has been that she was not really practicing law “in Massachusetts” because she only worked on out of state cases.  It turned out that Warren had worked on a case in Massachusetts, but even...

From Kevin Rennie’s Daily Ructions:

Greenwich, Connecticut resident Thomas Peterffy takes to the airwaves today to speak of the blessings of freedom. He’s an authority. Peterffy was born, according to Forbes, in Hungary in 1944 “during a Russian bombing raid.” He made it to America in 1965 and became a great success....

While visiting relatives in VA, saw this car and snapped the picture at a red light.

The narrative is unraveling for the Obama administration.

The depth of the deceit and cover up for political purposes should in itself lose the election for Obama.  But it probably won’t.

As always, the usual caveats. We’re still roughly four weeks out from election day and there are plenty of things that can happen between now and then.

That being said, this new poll shows Romney looking strong one week after his debate with the President.

At the two prior debates, Scott Brown effectively used the line that Elizabeth Warren “checked the box.”

As discussed with regard to yesterday’s polling, this is hurting Warren.

But so far in the debates no one has mentioned what box Warren checked, and why she doesn’t want to release the records showing...

Some of us want Obama supporters to cry themselves to sleep on November 6, others just want to wipe the smug grins off their faces.

I say, why not both?

I don’t know what it is about the “It’s Working, You’re Welcome” sticker that gets under my skin more than most others but it has the effect of temporarily clouding my vision. The sheer arrogance, the CHUTZPAH of such an assumption…

I’m a reluctant Romney supporter but I’ll get behind almost any candidate, any cause, that would wipe the smug grin off the driver’s face.

Thank you.
