I finally get the logic behind Mr. Obama's claims that all is well. Took me a while, but actually I was using this logic years ago. All day yesterday Mr. Obama stood on his stump on his campaign speeches touting that 171,000 new jobs were created last month.
Now, first of all, I must admit that math was my worst subject in my school years, along with anything connected to the world of mathematics. I was so bad I would take my freshman college algebra home for my high school kid sister to do for me.
However, I followed Mr. Obama's "trail" of his touted economic success, and realized I did the same thing years ago when I lived in Southern California and frequented the local race tracks.
I would bet $20. on all nine races. Losing the first eight races meant I was down $160. then I would bet $20. on the last race and win. When I got home and was asked, "how did you do today"?, I would just answer, "won $20. in race nine". Sounds familiar huh?
Yesterday Mr. Obama emphatically stressed on his campaign stump speeches, "we've had 32 straight months of job growth". Well, technically that is true, however going back to my race track days, Mr. Obama has put our country in a negative. Now, here's where I need some help with my math calculations.
If we've had 32 straight months of job growth, why is the unemployment higher now than when he took office? Just a guess, but does that mean more people are leaving the work force than jobs being created? However, last month was a banner month for Mr. Obama. Yes, 171,000 jobs were created, and guess what: 170,000 left the work force, so Mr. Obama congratulations; you had a net gain of 1,000 jobs for America.
Want some additional facts? Welfare has grown nearly 100% since Mr. Obama has been in office. Today welfare remains our country's biggest expense, even surpassing our military spending. Also today one of every six Americans now live in poverty and that is since Mr. Obama took office. You won't hear that on his campaign stump speeches will you?
Want another fact that Mr. Obama will not tell you? Of course you do. Our national debt was $10.Trillion when Mr. Obama took office. Today our national debt is $16.Trillion, and the CBO says under current plans we'll be at $20.Trillion by 2016. Mr. Obama will also tell Americans that our economy is growing and doing better, but why won't he tell the Americans that household income is down $4,500. for every family. Now is that growth?
Mr. Obama is just plain "star-struck". He actually believes if you seem him carousing with the likes of Springsteen, Jay-Z, Beyonce, Letterman, Clooney, etc., you'll be so impressed by his celebrity status that you'll surely vote for him. Is that true leadership for average American families? Of course not.
Would someone please explain to Mr. Obama that when John and Jane Doe are sitting at the kitchen table worrying about their finances they really don't care about all these celebrities; they care about taking care of their family. America needs jobs; not listening to Bruce Springsteen scream as he runs around a stage, or Jay-Z screaming some rap lyrics that no one truly understands.
Yes, I know that with only three days left, no one is going to change anyone else's voting choice, but maybe, just maybe, some will do a little more thinking before going into the voting booth Tuesday.
And that's Politics with Pete for today....God bless our country...and out troops.

No more Mr. O
I'm happy to report that there's an ever so slight crack in the fortress that is surrounding and protecting Mr. Obama from the Benghazi massacre cover up. Of course we know that "fortress" is the combination of ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, PBS, and MSNBC.
The main theme of the "fortress" is to continue to ignore the news of the Benghazi massacre cover up until after the election. They refuse t report any news on it. Very recently an ABC female reporter yelled out to Mr. Obama as he left helicopter Marine 1, "When are you going to tell Americans the whole story about the Benghazi massacre"? Mr. Obama wouldn't respond. He just smiled and kept walking.
I guess Mr. Obama and his fortress feel that after the election he and his main stream media can say and do what they want in his "lame duck" presidency. However, there are some in the media that are beginning to push Mr. Obama and his staff for answers.
Jake Tapper of ABC and journalist Peggy Noonan seem to be leading the charge from the "fortress" for Mr. Obama to report the truth to the public, and yet Mr. Obama continues to stonewall the American public, and refuses to answer the truth, or even discus it for that matter.
His staff continues to stall with the phrase, "the situation is under investigation". Simply put, it really means that nothing will be said or done until after the election. Ever wonder why that is?
American people are not stupid. We all know why no one is being honest and forthcoming with the news of Benghazi. We know it is simply because if Americans knew the complete truth before the election likely Mr. Obama may not get a single vote.
The Benghazi massacre is surely a combination of incompetence and cover up. During a debate Mr. Obama said, "I find it offensive if anyone thinks MY staff is not being forthcoming about the Benghazi uprising". Well, Mr. Obama Americans feel you are being offensive by not being a true leader and telling the truth. Four, yes four Americans, including a distinguished Ambassador was slain in Benghazi, and you stand there close-mouthed.
That was nearly two months ago, and Americans, including the families of the four slain Americans are not being told what happened in Benghazi. What are you hiding? Why won't you tell the truth? What really happened? What are you afraid of? Is the real truth going to stop Americans from voting for you?
Just a very few short hours after bin Laden was killed you couldn't wait to stand in front of cameras to announce, "I got bin Laden". You took all the glory and credit for the killing of bin Laden, but after nearly two months you still won't even discuss what happened that caused the slaying of four Americans.
You couldn't wait to fly to New Jersey and walk among the Hurricane Sandy ruins in front of many cameras. You should've brought your teleprompters with you. After just a short visit you were on your plane again heading for Vegas.
It seems you are more concerned with your own personal gain of being reelected than being honest with the 52% of Americans that voted you in office. All that Americans know is that beginning with November 15th., there will be an "open investigation for all the Americans to know". Really? Not now, but AFTER the election?
Mr. Obama you do not exhibit the true leadership that is needed to function honestly in our great country. You run and hide every time a situation arises that needs strong leadership. However, you sure like to show us what a celebrity you are.
Your "posse" includes Letterman, Jay-Z, Beyonce, The View, Pimp with a Limp, George Clooney, Eva Longoria, etc. Your campaign speeches are of no value to us. All you do is spew lies and personal attacks on Governor Romney. You have only convinced us that you intend to repeat what you've done the past four years.
Mr. Obama, in the words of Abe Lincoln, "you can't fool all the people all the time". The Kool-Aid is not being drunk anymore. Your time is getting short. Four days left Mr. Obama.
Mr. Obama you are arrogant, self-centered, and have accomplished nothing in your first and only term. We just don't want you in OUR White House any longer.
And that's Politics with Pete for today...God bless our country...and our troops

Still with the hate?
All right now, can we stop this hatred stuff with only five days left? No one is going to change anyone's vote. I think we can all agree on that. Heck, my wife and I have already mailed our votes in. And I'm sure thousands of other Republicans, along with Democrats have done the same.
The polls are showing a virtual dead even tie between the presidential candidates. With just a few days left why the campaign stops all across the country, especially here in Ohio? Are there really that many undecided voters left to warrant thousands and thousands of dollars being spent on 20-minute stump speeches?
I guess the answer is both parties are going after the famous, or infamous, INDEPENDENTS.
And I can understand and appreciate both parties desperately trying to sway these independent voters.
There are strong arguements on both sides, many that I have written in my blogs for months now. This is called "politics", and thank God our great country, according to the Constitution, allows this political procedure to endure.
Republicans argue over Mr. Obama's millions out of work, increases in welfare, failed stimulus, failed companies like Solyndra, Mr. Obama's golfing and basketball, his absence with the jobs council and Intelligence briefings, and lately his botched job of the Benghazi attack.
And the Democrats argue that....let's see the Democrats argue....hmmm. What else, but hatred and lies have the Democrats have to stand on. Their hatred of both Governor Romney and Congressman Ryan seems to be their main avenue of campaigning.
Has anyone witnessed the latest Democrat ad that showed a 97-year old lady promising she will "burn down this mother_ _ _ _r down if Romney is elected"? Or the other elderly lady that promised if Romney wins she will "%$*# punch him if I meet up with him".
What does that say about the Democrat party, that with only five days left all they have left is hatred and lies? Do you think they're a little desperate?
And of course there is our great main stream media. At least they no longer deny that they are in Mr. Obama's back pocket so strong they are leaving their logo marks on his back side.
Remember during President Bush's second term the media continued to hammer his administration for "high" gas prices, the national debt at $10.Trillion, unemployment at 5%, and even called Iraq "his own personal war"?
Where is the media now with the current President just about doubling all these figures? Of course they will not report that, but Americans know the true story. I keep preaching Abe Lincoln's favorite line, "you can't fool all the people all the time".
There's an old saying that says if you only spew lies and hatred at your opponent just to make yourself look good, the lies and hatred will spew back in your own face.
Lies, deceit, and hatred are the only tools Mr. Obama and his party have to use as they have no accomplishments to campaign on. So according to their core beliefs you can just pity them, but really can't blame them .
Myself, I have predicted Governor Romney will garner close to 300 electoral votes, even though this morning's polls reflect a virtual tie. I know my critics that read this will salivate and start spewing hatred and vitriol at me, but hey, that's all they have.

Oh, we know you Mr. Obama
During all of Mr. Obama's campaign speeches lately he's been yelling to his audiences, "you know me...I mean what I say....I say what I mean...and I do what I say". Oh really? Better be careful Mr. Obama your Pinocchio nose is never going to stop growing. Have you heard his latest, "we've come too far to turn back now".
Please Mr. Obama enlighten us on what we've come so far on. Is it the 23 million Americans out of work? Have we come so far as to have 47 million Americans on food stamps/welfare?
How far have you brought us with our unemployment over 8% for 43 straight months, and today's true unemployment hovers at 10%?
Mr. Obama, do you really expect any of us to believe anything you say? I've asked some of your supporters to give me one scenario of what you accomplished in your first term that they want you to repeat if you were reelected. I haven't got a reply yet.
Mr. Obama you have been lying to American people for nearly four years, and you still want us to believe that we know you, and you say what you mean, or the other big joke of coming so far to turn back now.
Mr. Obama, the truth is we are going to stop you next Tuesday. That 52% that voted you in for the '08 election has stopped drinking your Kool-Aid. In fact, Mr. O, you're gonna have enough Kool-Aid left over to ship to your home country of Kenya to make a private lake for you.
Now, there's a rumor you want to delay the election because of Hurricane Sandy. The conservative Republicans hope you do that, as your approval ratings are dropping by the hour, and Governor Romney is pulling ahead in the polls. So any election delays really means higher poll rankings for Governor Romney.
Mr. Obama your time is running out. The election is a week from today, and yet you keep preaching, and preaching, and preaching to your base. There is a blatant fact emerging, and that is you definitely care more about yourself than you do about the American people. And we're all finding that out in time for next week's election.
You have broken every promise you made to the American people in '08, and yet have the gall to ask us, "don't turn back now...we've come too far". No, no Mr. Obama, you don't get to insult us anymore with that unintelligible rhetoric. You have been discovered. Hurts huh?
Even if you had kept any of the promises you made, how you turned your back on our heroes in Benghazi is reason enough for you not to receive a single vote. As a proud veteran who was grateful enough to wear "the uniform" for four years I would even like to see you impeached.
I know many agree with me as many feel you were complicit in the deaths of those heroes at Benghazi.
No, we can't do anything about your actions surrounding Benghazi, but make no mistake Mr. Obama we're going to do plenty just seven short days from today.
And that's Politics with Pete for today....God Bless our country...and our troops

Seven hours, Mr. Obama
Mr. Obama have you ever wondered how long seven hours is? Do you know the number of things you can accomplish in seven hours? Let me help you out, and shed some light on this subject for you OK? It seems the length of seven hours is a mystery for you.
First of all, in seven hours you have more than enough time to play a round of golf. In seven hours you can tape seven episodes on The View. In seven hours you can tape over three sessions on the Dave Letterman show.
Also, Mr. Obama, seven hours will give you time to fly to Vegas and schmooz at a fund raiser.
Oh, and yes, in seven hours you can tape many interviews on MTV.
Yes, Mr. Obama, you certainly had ample time in any of those seven hour scenarios to do things for your own personal benefit or for the advancement of your reelection campaign.
Would you like to know what Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty did for seven hours? Do you even know these two men? They are former Navy Seals that disobeyed your orders to "stand down", and went to the Benghazi, Libya consulate, rescued thirty people, went back to try to defend the consulate, and ended up being massacred by jihadi terrorists.
There is also speculation that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton asked for permission to send in military support, and you said "NO".
Of course the tragedy is that these brave American heroes were slaughtered by jihadi terrorists.
But what is also tragic is that after you gave the orders that there was to be no military support or intervention, you viewed the massacre of these American heroes live with your State Department and White House staff.
Would you please explain to America how you coped with the massacres of Tyrone Woods, Glen Doherty, and Ambassador Stevens and his aid? Did you stay, organize your staff, hold meetings to better understand this tragedy?
No, of course not. What you, in fact, did was abandon the responsibility of the office of the Presidency, and immediately began to think only of yourself and your campaign by jumping on Air Force One and flying to Las Vegas for a fund raising event. Didn't seem like you were very concerned to find out what happened in Benghazi, or the events leading up to the slaughter of four Americans.
To add insult to injury, you began your "Teflon-in-chief" marathon. You appeared on The View, Dave Letterman's Show, and even the UN Council, telling everyone that the uprising in Benghazi was caused by a 14-minute video produced in California. Your comment on the Jon Stewart Daily show was priceless. You said the slaying of these Americans "was not optimal".
You even went so far as to say the slayings by jihadi in Benghazi, Libya was just "a bump in the road". Really, Mr. Obama? You watch four Americans that were fathers and husbands get massaacred and to you it was just a mere "bump in the road"?
But oh boy, you sure took advantage of a great photo shoot for yourself, and of course, for your campaign. When the caskets of our four brave Americans landed at Andrews Air Force Base, you were on hand to offer a fantastic, wonderful, meaningful speech honoring our heroes. What great solace to the families of these slain heroes. Did you feel better after your speech?
Did you ever think that if maybe you would have acted like the presidential leader that America voted into office in 2008, just maybe those Americans would be alive today?
With the increase in middle east uprisings, along with the anticipation of more uprisings, do you honestly believe that the American people are going to allow you another four years to make this horrific mistake again? I don't think so Mr. Obama.
And that's Politics with Pete for today....God Bless our country....and our troops.

Hey media....what then?
I'm old enough to remember when America tuned into ABC, CBS, and NBC to get the unbiased up-to-date news. Most of us remember Cronkite, Huntley-Brinkley, and Murrow on the daily and weekend news. When these icons of journalists spoke you couldn't tell what their political affiliation was. Their reportings were always fair and balanced, with no bias.
These great news-reporting icons never campaigned for a presidential candidate. They never slanted their news reporting towards their own personal view. In short, they reported and you decided. Kind of what Fox News does today, and why Fox News is number one and climbing.
But I digress. To continue, American families believed the news that Cronkite, Huntley-Brinkley, and Murrow was honest, forthright, and factual. They never seemed to deceive Americans. And maybe the greatest gift they gave us is our belief in them.
Then, along the way the networks of ABC, CBS, and NBC began to slant their news leaning towards promoting the Democrat liberal progressive party. The networks did this in such a smooth subtle way that Americans kept believing that everything the networks reported was true, and didn't even see their bias coming.
Then came the advent of certain cable news networks; the likes of MSNBC, CNN, and PBS.
These networks brought more biased newscasters that were also biased and slanted in their news reporting. Enter Christ Matthews, Wolf Blitzer, Ed Schultz, Martin Basir, Rachel Maddow, Kieth Olberman, and others in news reporting. These newscasters downgraded themselves from honest journalists to opinion reporters. The honest news wasn't and still isn't their main agenda.
My critics are always so very critical, and call me names that I can't write here. These "names" actually bring a smile to my face. Mainly because I know I've reached a sore spot. The most flattering name my critics have bestowed on me is "Fox News Junkie".
I always remind my critics that Fox News is the number one network in news reporting. Even Democrat professionals have reported that when they want news reported from all points of view they tune into Fox. I often wonder why any of these other networks, whose ratings are so far behind Fox, haven't changed their agenda to follow Fox to report the daily news more fair and balanced.
It's openly obvious to the American people that ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, PBS, and MSNBC started in 2008 to support Mr. Obama, and only reported news that promoted his rise to the office of the Presidency. And they were successful. The result was that 52% of America "drank the Kool-Aid" and elected Mr. Obama, a former community organizer, to the highest office in the land.
Then strangely Americans early on began to realize Mr. Obama was not intent on keeping any of his campaign promises. Oh, he was, and still is, a great speaker, handsome, looks good in a blue suit, has a great personality. But the more Mr. Obama did nothing but stand in front of microphones, telepromters, uttering "I", "me", and "mine" the more Americans began to question this smooth talker.
The morose of all this is that for whatever reason known only to them, these biased networks, even with their ratings sinking, they kept "carrying the water" for Mr. Obama. Coincidentally, as the American people started to question, more and more, the validity of their reporting, the ratings of our fair and blanced news network Fox News began to skyrocket and continues to skyrocket more and more every day.
The biased networks only reported Mr. Obama's "fun and popular exploits"; like appearing on the talk shows and TV networks that portrayed Mr. Obama as a "cool" popular individual loved by celebrities, athletes, and well-known people. Mr. Obama seems to be more concerned with his fellow "celebrities" than the American people, and the failing American economy.
The networks never reported that Mr. Obama was more concerned about his popularity than his policies. But that still didn't stop the networks. They continued to report just the flattering images of Mr. Obama. The networks refused to report that 23 million Americans were out of work. They wouldn't report that 47 million Americans are now on food stamps/welfare. The networks reported that Mr. Obama created 5 million jobs, but what they didn't report was that for every job created, five Americans left the work force.
Enter Governor Mitt Romney, the Republican nominee challenging Mr. Obama. Did this stop the biased networks? Of course not. The biased networks began the attacks on Governor Romney, much in the same manner they attacked former Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin.
The networks started with lies about his business success stating he ruined peoples' lives while he was at Bain Capital. They continued attacks on Governor Romney's family, his Mormon religion.
One network went so far as to call Governor Romney's Mormonism a cult. They lied about his financial holdings. They even attacked his wife Ann's illness. The sadness was that many Americans believed the lies and slanders they reported about the Governor and his family. All this while Mr. Obama, the "celebrity-in-chief" continued his likeability tours, skipping intelligence meetings, refusing to hold news conferences. The biased media continued to broadcasting Mr. Obama's own lies about how great the economy was doing under his watch.
Then ironically two scenarios occurred. One scenario was the three debates in which people began to really see the real Governor Romney, and began to question the reporting of the biased networks of ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, and MSNBC. Beginning with the first debate on October 3rd., Americans began to scratch their head, began to dismiss the news reporting of these biased networks, and even went so far as to picture Governor Romney as the next President in January, 2013, and someone they could follow and believe in.
The second scenario that occurred was the massacre of Ambassador Stevens in Libya, along with three other Americans. Our "teflon-in-chief", along with his Tonto sidekick Biden profusely expressed that no one contacted them to ask for any military help to the consulate in Benghazi. The State Department, along with the White House called the terrorist attack a "spontaneous assembly" spurred on by a 14-minute video from an American citizen from California.
Suddenly factual news began pouring out, with Fox News reporting the honest facts. When the biased networks began to see the news from Benghazi that Fox was factually reported they did the only thing they could to protect Mr. Obama. They refused to report the news at all, and while they were refusing to report the honest news eminating from Benghazi the same networks continued to report lies and personal attacks on Governor Romney, of course with the help of their chief campaigner Mr. Obama. They tried the "cloud cover" approach to get the American people to focus on other issues rather than issues stemming from Benghazi, Libya.
However, not so strangely, two things began to emerge. First of all more Americans turned to Fox News for the true and honest broadcasting on the tragic massacre, and their ratings are now at an all time high. Most Americans don't know that in fact Bill O'Reilley's "Factor" garnered a higher audience than Brian Williams "The Rock", even with Mr. Obama appearing on the Rock for a softball interview with Brian Williams.
Another phoenomena occurred; as Fox News' ratings skyrocketed and more peopled tuned in, Governor Romney began to close and even surpass Mr. Obama in the polls, especially in the swing states.
My question to the biased media in the tank for Mr. Obama, namely ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, and MSNBC; what are you going to do after November 6th., when Mr. Obama is no longer your savior and messiah? And was your fawning over him worth your careers and ratings?
And that's Politics with Pete for today....God Bless America....and our troops.
These great news-reporting icons never campaigned for a presidential candidate. They never slanted their news reporting towards their own personal view. In short, they reported and you decided. Kind of what Fox News does today, and why Fox News is number one and climbing.
But I digress. To continue, American families believed the news that Cronkite, Huntley-Brinkley, and Murrow was honest, forthright, and factual. They never seemed to deceive Americans. And maybe the greatest gift they gave us is our belief in them.
Then, along the way the networks of ABC, CBS, and NBC began to slant their news leaning towards promoting the Democrat liberal progressive party. The networks did this in such a smooth subtle way that Americans kept believing that everything the networks reported was true, and didn't even see their bias coming.
Then came the advent of certain cable news networks; the likes of MSNBC, CNN, and PBS.
These networks brought more biased newscasters that were also biased and slanted in their news reporting. Enter Christ Matthews, Wolf Blitzer, Ed Schultz, Martin Basir, Rachel Maddow, Kieth Olberman, and others in news reporting. These newscasters downgraded themselves from honest journalists to opinion reporters. The honest news wasn't and still isn't their main agenda.
My critics are always so very critical, and call me names that I can't write here. These "names" actually bring a smile to my face. Mainly because I know I've reached a sore spot. The most flattering name my critics have bestowed on me is "Fox News Junkie".
I always remind my critics that Fox News is the number one network in news reporting. Even Democrat professionals have reported that when they want news reported from all points of view they tune into Fox. I often wonder why any of these other networks, whose ratings are so far behind Fox, haven't changed their agenda to follow Fox to report the daily news more fair and balanced.
It's openly obvious to the American people that ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, PBS, and MSNBC started in 2008 to support Mr. Obama, and only reported news that promoted his rise to the office of the Presidency. And they were successful. The result was that 52% of America "drank the Kool-Aid" and elected Mr. Obama, a former community organizer, to the highest office in the land.
Then strangely Americans early on began to realize Mr. Obama was not intent on keeping any of his campaign promises. Oh, he was, and still is, a great speaker, handsome, looks good in a blue suit, has a great personality. But the more Mr. Obama did nothing but stand in front of microphones, telepromters, uttering "I", "me", and "mine" the more Americans began to question this smooth talker.
The morose of all this is that for whatever reason known only to them, these biased networks, even with their ratings sinking, they kept "carrying the water" for Mr. Obama. Coincidentally, as the American people started to question, more and more, the validity of their reporting, the ratings of our fair and blanced news network Fox News began to skyrocket and continues to skyrocket more and more every day.
The biased networks only reported Mr. Obama's "fun and popular exploits"; like appearing on the talk shows and TV networks that portrayed Mr. Obama as a "cool" popular individual loved by celebrities, athletes, and well-known people. Mr. Obama seems to be more concerned with his fellow "celebrities" than the American people, and the failing American economy.
The networks never reported that Mr. Obama was more concerned about his popularity than his policies. But that still didn't stop the networks. They continued to report just the flattering images of Mr. Obama. The networks refused to report that 23 million Americans were out of work.

Just gotta vent!
I'm smart enough to realize that with only eleven days left the time for changing anyone's mind is long over. As a conservative Republican I'm not going to change any progressive lib's mind, and not any Democrat is going to convince a Republican from changing their vote., so I'm just going to vent. Bear with me OK?
My ire and dismay is directed at the man who expects us to give him another four years to repeat what he's done over the past four years. I could write a ten-page blog on why this man does not deserve our vote of confidence, and I've written many blogs about it, so I'll just vent a little.
What started me was the media bias yesterday coming from Cleveland, Ohio's largest newspaper. Not allowed to mention their name. I'll just say I'm so grateful to the paper that I do blog for that is "fair & balanced...The News-Herald. Anyway this other paper, that is just "plain" had an article in yesterday's front page, above the fold. the article's headline read, "Romneys Tied to Voting Machines".
When I read the article the facts in the article reflected that one of Romney's son is invested in a company that manufactures voting machines. The truth is that the Romney family has no ties whatsoever to any voting machine manufacturer.
A friend of mine was incensed and telephoned this "plain", newspaper and left a message. He was called back and received a Steve Martin, "I'm Sorry". I guess this newspaper feels they can print anything, create as much damage as they want, and just say, "We're sorry...it was wrong to put that on the front page..should've been in the op-ed section."
Really? I guess if you lie to the public, all will be OK, if you just say, "I'm sorry". By the way two days before this same "plain" newspaper endorsed Mr. Obama. Gee what a coincidence. Today the "plain" newspaper retracted the story and printed an apology, after they did some research and found the article to be completely false. Yeah, after the horses left the barn, they decided to close the gates.
More bias: There are so many proven lies coming from the White House and State Department regarding the massacre of four Americans in Libya. There are e-mails warning of the pending riots dating back to August. There is so much cover up going on, even to the point of our Secretary of State laughing about the e-mails being on Facebook. Now they're saying the investigation will begin November 15th., nine days after the election. Gee, wonder why.
Does anyone know the TV coverage the Libya massacre received from the major networks?
Well, let me enlighten you; CBS, 23 minutes, ABC, 19 minutes, NBC, 0 (zero) minutes. This is the broadcast time these networks have devoted, since September 11th. of this year, to this tragic massacre in Libya that took the lives of Ambassador Stevens and three other Americans. In fact NBC did an interview with "Snooki", and another interview with a vacuum cleaner inventor rather than broadcast any news of the slaughter of Ambassador Stevens and three other Americans when it became hard news to the public.
On the day, just hours before the massacre unfolded, Ambassador Stevens sent a cable to the State Department stating his concern for security, as a uprising may occur. He asked for military support, and was completely denied any support. Is this the leadership you want in our White House and State Department?
Would you like to read a true fact about the Libyan massacre? IT TOOK NEARLY SEVEN HOURS AFTER THE TERRORIST ATTACK BEGAN FOR THE MURDERING TERRORISTS TO KILL THE LAST TWO AMERICANS. OVERHEAD WERE TWO UNARMED DRONES PHOTOGRAPHING THE ENTIRE MASSACRE. AN HOUR AWAY MILITARY SUPPORT WAS STANDING BY TO ASSIST, AND THEY WERE ORDERED TO "STAND DOWN". ALSO THERE WAS A LASER SIGNAL ON THE ROOF OF THE CONSULATE THAT COULD HAVE DIRECTED MILITARY SUPPORT TO THE CONSULATE. As I asked before; is this the type of foreign policy leadership you want for another four years, while the middle east uprisings are growing? This weekend Fox News is airing a true factual documentary about the massacre in Libya that the major networks won't broadcast. I encourage all to watch it.
Even after Mr. Obama was given solid factual information that the massacre in Libya was a terrorist attack, he showed his true lack of leadership by flying off to Nevada for a fund raiser just hours after knowing of the tragedy in Libya. Subsequently he went on The View and blamed the attack in Libya on a stupid video from an American citizen. Then he went on the Dave Letterman show and said the same thing. He even visited the UN, and six times blamed the massacre in Libya on a 14-minute video in front of the UN council. Do you really trust this man with another four years of not showing leadership?
Thank God there's Fox news, and the newspaper I blog for, The News-Herald, for broadcasting and printing all the news "fair & balanced". The polls are reflecting the Presidential that the race is tight, and just about tied. Can you imagine what the polls would be if all news outlets broadcasted and printed the news "fair & balanced"? Do you ever wonder why Fox News is number one, and the other news outlets are so far behind.
Mr. Obama has lied in all three debates, while making personal attacks on Governor Romney.
His latest, and maybe biggest lie is after proclaiming his defense budget cuts, he actually lied about the sequestration of our military in last week's debate. In a documentary, "2016", in Mr. Obama's own words, he stated that he wanted to "weaken America's military to show other countries we want to encourage peace". I like Reagan's approach better; "in strength there is peace".
Does America want a man to lead this country that has taken a complete reversal from his 2008 campaigning? Don't think so. If anyone wants to do a little research you will find that just about all the promises Mr. Obama made in '08 he has not lived up to.
What is Mr. Obama doing now on his final campaign push? It's openly obvious that he has no accomplishments to run on. So he continues to resort to lying and personal attacks on Governor Romney with stupid names like "Romnesia", and the killing of Big Bird. Mr. Obama vilifies Governor Romney about his income tax returns, but won't divulge any information about his college life. He accuses Governor Romney of "contributing to the cancerous death of a former Bain employee". That was proven to be a lie, but you know the media won't report it.
Let me sign off with some facts that you can bet CBS, NBC, or ABC will not broadcast: On Mr. Obama's "watch" we now have 23 million Americans out of work. On Mr. Obama's watch we now have 47 million Americans on welfare/food stamps. On Mr. Obama's watch gasoline prices have risen from $1.84 to nearly $4.00 per gallon, while he refuses to drill for oil here and open the Keystone Pipeline.
Mr. Obama lied and tried to convince Americans that unemployment has dropped to 7.8% under his watch, however mysteriously California was ommitted from that tally, and the true unemployment is over 10%. If Mr. Obama gets another four years the Congressional Budget Office claims with Obamacare and his reforming of the corporate tax plan, we will lose over 6 million jobs.
Mr. Obama is promising continued welfare and extended unemployment for his next four years, but has yet to show America a plan how he intends to pay for these programs. And of course, the media won't report any of this, well except for Fox News. You know who Fox News is don't you? That's the number one cable news network. Did you know who the cable news network whose ratings are at the bottom? It's MSNBC, who is openly in the tank for Mr. Obama. Go figure.
Thanks for reading this and letting me vent. Eleven days left for you to make a difference.
