Americans donate millions to overseas natural disasters. But we never get paid back.

The United States has just experienced a devastating natural disaster. Hurricane Sandy pounded the densely populated eastern seaboard, killing over 55 people and causing upwards of 50 billion dollars in damage.

Already donations are pouring in from fellow Americans, but are we receiving any donations from people overseas? Nothing notable, as usual.

Recent studies show Americans are the most charitable people in the world. According to a global survey, Americans ranked #1 worldwide in likelihood to donate to charity, volunteer, or help a stranger. And we are always there to donate massive amounts of money to overseas relief efforts.

According to CNN, American citizens donating to the Red Cross alone donated 275 million dollars to the Haiti earthquake, 127 million dollars to the Asian tsunami, and 87 million dollars to the Japanese earthquake...in just the first 7 days of those natural disasters.

During the destructive earthquake in Haiti in 2010, the United States led the way with 466.8 million in aid. By comparison, Russia donated 5.7 million dollars, Indonesia donated 1.7 million dollars, and China donated...$290,000 dollars.

The United States, through government funded relief and private donations has spearheaded every major natural disaster relief effort in the past 50 years.

Will foreign nations donate to the relief effort to Hurricane Sandy the way we do for them when they experience devastating natural disasters? Not likely. They will continue to enjoy their American made internet, Facebook, Youtube, Google, Ipods, and Ipads. All products of the American people they say they hate, and the American people that continue to help them when they are in need.

Obama team releases despicable ads.

First was Lena Dunham's sex parody. Then the little children sang North Korea like praises to Dear Leader. Then the old people stated they would "burn this motherf***er to the ground" and "c**k punch Mitt Romney in his nutsack." Very, very presidential.

Meanwhile, conservatives have released this ad featuring Thomas Peterffry, a Hungarian born immigrant who explains why he is voting Republican.

Mark Steyn: The Incredible Shrinking President

The Incredible Shrinking President 
Two videos distill the meaning of a campaign, and a presidency.

By Mark Steyn

‘We’re going to have that person arrested and prosecuted that did the video,” said Hillary Clinton. No, not the person who made the video saying that voting for Barack Obama is like losing your virginity to a really cool guy. I’ll get to that in a moment. But Secretary Clinton was talking about the fellow who made the supposedly Islamophobic video that supposedly set off the sacking of the Benghazi consulate. And, indeed, she did “have that person arrested.” By happy coincidence, his bail hearing has been set for three days after the election, by which time he will have served his purpose. These two videos — the Islamophobic one and the Obamosexual one — bookend the remarkable but wholly deserved collapse of the president’s reelection campaign.

You’ll recall that a near-month-long attempt to blame an obscure YouTube video for the murder of four Americans and the destruction of U.S. sovereign territory climaxed in the vice-presidential debate with Joe Biden’s bald assertion that the administration had been going on the best intelligence it had at the time. By then, it had been confirmed that there never had been any protest against the video, and that the Obama line that Benghazi had been a spontaneous movie review that just got a little out of hand was utterly false. The only remaining question was whether the administration had knowingly lied or was merely innocently stupid. The innocent-stupidity line became harder to maintain this week after Fox News obtained State Department e-mails revealing that shortly after 4 p.m. Eastern, less than a half hour after the assault in Benghazi began, the White House situation room knew the exact nature of it.

We also learned that, in those first moments of the attack, a request for military back-up was made by U.S. staff on the ground but was denied by Washington. It had planes and special forces less than 500 miles away in southern Italy — or about the same distance as Washington to Boston. They could have been there in less than two hours. Yet the commander-in-chief declined to give the order. So Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods fought all night against overwhelming odds, and died on a rooftop in a benighted jihadist hellhole while Obama retired early to rest up before his big Vegas campaign stop. “Within minutes of the first bullet being fired the White House knew these heroes would be slaughtered if immediate air support was denied,” said Ty Woods’s father, Charles. “In less than an hour, the perimeters could have been secured and American lives could have been saved. After seven hours fighting numerically superior forces, my son’s life was sacrificed because of the White House’s decision.”

Why would Obama and Biden do such a thing? Because to launch a military operation against an al-Qaeda affiliate on the anniversary of 9/11 would have exposed the hollowness of their boast through convention week and the days thereafter — that Osama was dead and al-Qaeda was finished. And so Ty Woods, Glen Doherty, Sean Smith, and Chris Stevens were left to die, and a decision taken to blame an entirely irrelevant video and, as Secretary Clinton threatened, “have that person arrested.” And, in the weeks that followed, the government of the United States lied to its own citizens as thoroughly and energetically as any totalitarian state, complete with the midnight knock on the door from not-so-secret policemen sent to haul the designated fall-guy into custody.

Read the rest here.

President Obama is imploding right before our very eyes.

Could you imagine for one second if Mitt Romney called Obama an obscene word? Or if Mitt Romney giggled and joked about Obama's name on the stump? Or if, as we have just learned today, Mitt Romney's official campaign posted a photo of Obama like this...

This is beyond desperate. It is completely childish. I would be very worried if Mitt Romney were resorting to petty attacks like this. Thankfully, Mitt Romney is the adult in the race talking about big things. Barack Obama has shrunk from the hope and change icon on 4 years ago, to a divisive, small, and bitter man.

For a sitting US President to refer to his opponent in public, out in the open, as "a bullshitter", or for him to joke for a prolonged period of time about his opponent's name, or to release a ridiculous photo like this is unprecedented in American presidential politics. Unprecedented. 

DESPICABLE: Latest Obama campaign ad urges young females to lose their virginity with Barack Obama.

Let's sum up Obama campaign 2012:

-Romney hates dogs! He strapped one to the top of a car!

-Romney hates gay people! He pranked a gay kid in high school one time!

-Romney caused a woman to die of cancer!
-Romney is a felon! He has never paid taxes!

-Romney supports rape because of Todd Akin!

-Romney is going to kill Big Bird!

-Romney has binders full of women! 

-Romney has "Romnesia! (hehehe!) 

-Romney is a "bullshitter"! 

Now, the latest official Obama campaign ad parodies young women losing their virginity like voting for Obama. This is absolutely vile. How can you liberals really support this type of campaign?

Why are liberals obsessed with rape?

The latest Democrat attack: "Another Republican supports rape! Rape! Rape!"

*Cue rape whistle*

In an election environment where the Democrats are getting killed on issues that matter, such as the economy and jobs, the liberals are desperately grasping for anything to save them as they tumble down the deep chasm of impending defeat.

The latest Republican who supports women getting raped is Senate candidate Richard Mourdock of Indiana, who made this awful comment in a debate earlier this week...

"I struggled with it myself for a long time, but I came to realize that life is that gift from God. And, I think, even when life begins in that horrible situation of rape, that it is something that God intended to happen."

The freaking horror. He actually believes all human life is a gift from God! Why! He must believe rape is a good thing! He's another old, white Republican man who hates women and supports rape! Vote Obama!

Recall how the liberals twisted the words of Todd Akin in August, after he made another similar comment on the issue of rape:

“If it’s a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down. But let’s assume that maybe that didn’t work or something: I think there should be some punishment, but the punishment ought to be of the rapist, and not attacking the child."

Todd Akin supports rape! Todd Akin hates women! Todd Akin believes in supporting the rights of the child! Vote Obama!

You see, liberals are pretty clever when it comes to these hot button issues. They know they can ask a Republican a question about rape and abortion and he will most likely answer in a truthful way that supports the rights of the conceived child, thereby allowing them a golden opportunity to completely take his words out of context and made it a nationwide scandal. With the help of the major networks, they run the story with the twist that the person in question supports rape by reporting on "So and so's controversial RAPE comments", spreading the assumption that so and so is a supporter of rape itself. Today, the front pages of ABC News, NBC News, CBS News, CNN, and the Politico all have "breaking" stories on "Richard Mourdock's controversial rape comment" but nothing on the developments in the Benghazi scandal. That is a crime. 

These politicians need to understand that the media are out to get them at every turn and maybe it would be a good idea to not fall for the rape trap anymore. Don't even answer the question when it is asked. 

Did Obama really call Romney a "bullshitter"?

The latest headline on the Drudge Report looks like this...

Did he REALLY say that? Yes, in effect, he did. The President of the United States did an interview with Rolling Stone magazine and referred to his opponent as "a bullshitter".

Here is the full context of the "bullshitter" comment in the Rolling Stone interview:

“We arrived at the Oval Office for our 45-minute interview … on the morning of October 11^th. … As we left the Oval Office, executive editor Eric Bates told Obama that he had asked his six-year-old if there was anything she wanted him to say to the president. … [S]he said, ‘Tell him: You can do it.’ Obama grinned. … ‘You know, kids have good instincts,’ Obama offered. ‘They look at the other guy and say, “Well, that’s a bullshitter, I can tell.”’”

This goes well beyond unpresidential. For a sitting president to do an interview with an obsolete magazine such as Rolling Stone and characterize his opponent as a "bullshitter" is shocking, and it should deeply disturb both Republicans and Democrats alike. But look at the context. Not only did he use profanity to describe Mitt Romney. He used profanity as if the 6 year old child was the one thinking it. But can we expect anything less from the president that did a radio interview with "DJ Laz "Pimp with the Limp" in Miami? President Kardashian is almost finished. Just days to go. Keep breathing, we can do it...

Photos from the massive Romney rally at the Red Rocks Amphitheater in Denver, Colorado

Denver Post: GOP nominees pack Red Rocks amphitheater to capacity

Meanwhile, further to the west in Nevada, Sandra Fluke held an Obama rally that attracted 10 people...

President Obama's immature campaign disgraces the presidency.

Today, Obama went on the offensive again, saying Romney suffered from "stage 3 Romnesia". This is an attempt at snark that isn't even funny, and certainly not something a confident incumbent looking forward to the future would say. Obama's leviathan of hope and change has derailed, and we are now hearing the final release of steam as it slowly dies...

Even some liberals aren't quite content with President Obama's new Big Bird, Binders, and Bayonets approach.

Says John Cook...

 It should by no means be coming from the president of the United States, let alone one who promised to put away childish things. It's a dumb "zinger," transparently crafted to appeal to the Mark Halperins and Politicos of the world. That's not to say that humor has no place in political rhetoric or that Obama betrays his promise every time he deigns to insult his opponent. But to graft a pre-planned VH1 Best Week Ever-level joke onto a nationally televised discussion about life and death and our role on the world stage is scarcely less pathetic than the desperate flailings of the McCain campaign that I smugly scoffed at four years ago.

It's not just that joke. Obama has taken to using "Romnesia" to describe Romney's inability or unwillingness to hew to a policy position for more than two weeks. "He's forgetting what his own positions are, and he's betting that you will, too," Obama said at a rally in Virginia last week. "We've got to name this condition that he's going through. I think it's called 'Romnesia.'" Today, summing up the debate, Obama called Romney's performance "at least Stage 3 Romnesia."

This is very, very dumb. Maybe "Romnesia" is a funny, handy term that usefully carries an important anti-Romney message. But even if it is, it is just too juvenile and jokey to be coming from the president. He shouldn't be making jokes based on his opponent's name. That's what vice presidents are for. Put it in John Kerry's mouth. He'll say anything.

President Obama's 2012 campaign has been one of immature attempts to discredit Mitt Romney. It doesn't matter which side you are on. Obama despises Romney more than Obama supporters do and it shows. Obama's Kardashian presidency is almost over. It's time to let an adult with knowledge of the economy take charge. We haven't had that kind of leadership in a long, long time. 

Obama's Death Stare

Reminds me of Joe Biden's smile...

Debates are about memorable things. Obama's death stare certainly won't help. Romney continues the momentum and wins the election.

By the way Mr. President: Your snarky jab comparing the US Navy to "horses and bayonets" just lost you the state of Virginia. 

Hugo Chavez all in for Obama!

What does is say about you when the authoritarian leftist dictator of Venezuela, Hugo Chavez proudly proclaims...

"If I were American, I'd vote for Obama," Chavez said in a televised interview Sunday. "And I believe that if Obama was from Caracas, he would vote for Chavez, I am positive."

That says a lot about our president. But lets not stop there. Dear Leader has also scored dynamite endorsements from other great people: CPUSA, Vladimir Putin, Fidel Castro, Mahmoud Ahmedinejad, and Hamas.

Hollywood celebrities know what's best. Vote for Obama!

The Hollywood elite have been working overtime for the Obama campaign this year, donating millions to the president, putting out countless ads telling people to vote, and offering their priceless endorsements.

While the president wines and dines with the likes of Jay-Z, Beyonce, George Clooney, Eva Longoria, Scarlett Johansson, Jessica Alba and others, and schmoozes them day and night at $50,000 a plate fundraisers, liberals scream and point their chubby little toddler fingers at Mitt Romney for being "out of touch".

Mitt Romney may be ultra wealthy and high class, but does that mean Barack Obama isn't? Liberals speak as if Barack Obama is a tobacco spitting, wrench turning mechanic, who wears dirty jeans every day and shops at Dollar General for groceries. Barack Obama is just as out of touch as Mitt Romney, and his constant high dollar fundraisers with Hollywood, including a glitzy Vegas get together the day after our ambassador was killed, show it.

Greg Gutfeld shows the latest Hollywood ad for Obama:



These Hollywood personalities live in a separate world, as evidenced by the issues they think are important to voters this election. Climate change? Marriage equality? Birth Control? Abortion? This Hollywood ad was directed at people who are already liberal Obama supporters...young, dumb, college women. 

Gallup: Romney 52 Obama 45 among likely voters, RCP electoral map now 206-201 Romney

Gallup: Obama vs. Romney tracking

This poll has a 2% margin of error. My prediction for the election was a 2-4% popular vote victory for Romney. It could be a 5-7% landslide.

The Real Clear Politics electoral map has now shifted North Carolina from a battleground state to 'leans Romney', giving him 15 additional electoral votes and now putting him ahead of Obama 206-201. According to RCP, Romney is ahead by 5.6 points in North Carolina.

In May I predicted North Carolina was no longer a battleground state after Obama voiced his support for gay marriage. 

Romney vs. Obama Townhall Debate Fight Summary

A right hook here, an uppercut there, and in the end both men laying on the mat with referee Candyland Crowley holding up King Barry's limp arm to declare him the winner.

Romney did well against his opponent. He did pretty good against Obama too.

All in all, Candy Crowley interrupted Mitt Romney a staggering 28 times throughout the debate. She ordered him to sit down. She allowed President Obama to go over the time limit on every question, once running a minute and four seconds over the allotted time without interruption. And in one shocking case, stepping in with false information to rescue Obama in a sequence that reeked of corrupt bias.

It was almost as if Candy Crowley anticipated that Romney would attack on Obama's dithering 2 week escapade blaming the Libya attack on a Youtube video. Romney took the bait, Obama squealed to the debate moderator for a transcript, and magically, Candyland had that exact transcript already in hand. Coincidence? 

We heard a variety of questions that were absolutely bizarre. One question was a preplanned hanging curveball for Obama on how he would improve women's pay equality in the workplace. Hardly a burning campaign issue. Another head scratcher for both sides..."how can we keep AK-47s out of the hands of criminals?" Then another challenging one for Mr. Obama..."What have you done to earn my vote?" Then Romney had to explain how he was different from George W. Bush.

There was a deliberate pattern in the questioning selected and organized by Candy Crowley. Every question for Obama was a softball, while every question for Romney immediately placed him on the defensive. And throughout, Candy Crowley acted as Obama's personal security, stepping in when he couldn't fend for himself, interrupting Romney every time he attempted to rebut, and ultimately, pre planning the entire structure of the debate to favor the president.

Even Robert Gibbs admitted that Romney had to debate Crowley more than the President. 

And consider that fact that these so called undecided voters were picked from the state of New York, one of the bluest bastions of liberalism in this country. This debate was the flip side equivalent of having Sean Hannity moderate a townhall debate with undecided voters from Oklahoma.

Despite all of this, Mitt Romney held his own. While post debate polls show President Obama with a slight edge, Romney scored a resounding victory on issues that matter. According to CNN respondents, Romney won 54-40 on the economy. CBS showed Romney winning 65-34 on the economy. In addition to...

49-46 on Health Care, 51-44 on Taxes, 59-36 on Deficit, 49-46 on Leadership

Remember Jeremy? He was the young college student who asked about getting a job after school. This is what Jeremy had to say about Romney and Obama...

“Mitt Romney’s first answer — I felt like he was staring into my soul, just right through me, when he was asking me the question. I felt like, you know he offered me a job five minutes into the debate, I felt like his answer was sincere,” Epstein said.

.....

“Then I was speaking with President Obama asking how his Chicago Bulls are gonna do, because they lost their MVP Derek Rose, and he said that I could not beat him in one-on-one, but I disagree with that.”

I wonder who Jeremy is going to vote for? Bottom line...if the economy is the primary concern of voters, Romney will win. If assault weapons, equal pay for women, and contraception are the primary concerns of voters, Obama will win.

Romney debated two people last night and still came out on top. Obama was feisty, bitter, and angry. Today, Gallup shows Romney ahead by 6 points.

What people are saying about Joe Biden's debate performance.

"I just don't think you should be laughing while discussing thermonuclear war with Iran."
---Tom Brokaw, NBC News

"I've ever seen a debate in which one participant was as openly disrespectful of the other as Biden was to Paul Ryan tonight."
---Chris Wallace, Fox News

 "Joe, seriously stop smirking. This is serious stuff. Be vice presidential."
---Piers Morgan, CNN

  "Last night Mr. Biden was weirdly aggressive, if that is the right word for someone who grimaces, laughs derisively, interrupts, hectors, rolls his eyes, browbeats and attempts to bully. He meant to dominate, to seem strong and no-nonsense. Sometimes he did—he had his moments. But he was also disrespectful and full of bluster."
---Peggy Noonan, WSJ

  "You don’t win a nationally televised debate by being rude and obnoxious. You don’t win by interrupting your opponent time after time after time or by being a blowhard. You don’t win with facial expressions, especially smirks or fake laughs, or by pretending to be utterly exasperated with what your opponent is saying."
---Fred Barnes, Weekly Standard

  "He was condescending at times to Paul Ryan. I think I could have done with a lot less eye-rolling and chuckling on the part of Joe Biden."
---Gloria Borger, CNN

  "The smile, the laugh. I think a lot of people maybe view that and think that he was a little too hot, too aggressive, maybe condescending."
---David Gregory, NBC News

  "I thought it was rude and I have a feeling it will come across to a lot of people as rude. It looked like a cranky old man to some extent debating a polite young man."
---Brit Hume, Fox News

  "If you put them all together and you end up with television where you saw the demeanor that the Vice President had in regard to Ryan, I think that undid the advantage in rhetoric that he had in carrying the debate. It was so disrespectful. I agree with Chris Wallace, it was sort of almost unprecedented and hugely condescending. I think that undid the force of his arguments and I think in the end, if television, you lose."
---Charles Krauthammer, Fox News

  "Just as Al Gore sighed and rolled his eyes in 2000, so Biden smirked and guffawed. He gesticulated wildly and jabbed his finger. He interrupted Ryan and the moderator Martha Raddatz. Many women and swing voters will have hated it."
---Toby Harnden, Daily Mail

Romney ahead 4 in New Hampshire and Florida

A new poll just released this morning shows Mitt Romney with a 4 point lead over Obama in New Hampshire.

Three new polls released in Florida show Mitt Romney with a 3 point lead, 4 point lead, and 7 point lead.

Another poll released earlier this week shows Obama ahead by 6 points in Connecticut.

In 2008, Obama won New Hampshire by 9.7 points, Florida by 2.8 points, and Connecticut by 22.4 points.

Joking Joe Biden Drives Undecided Voters Straight to Romney.

Liberals loved Joe Biden tonight! He was everything Obama wasn't last week, and MORE. But that's it. Naturally, liberals will love the fact Joe Biden interrupted Paul Ryan 82 times, or his incessant horse toothed smiling, his grunting, snorting, laughing, smirking and overall childish antics.

But Joe Biden's childish and unprofessional behavior tonight didn't impress anyone other than already committed Obama voters. No one likes a complete condescending jerk, and that's exactly what Joe Biden was tonight. Every undecided voter who saw Joe Biden tonight just decided to vote for Romney, mark my words.

Perhaps the most disturbing? While Paul Ryan calmly and professionally stated the known facts on Iran's nuclear capabilities, Joe Biden, the Vice President of the United States just a heartbeat from the presidency, thought it pertinent to laugh, chuckle, and smile like a second rate clown for hire. That is scary.

Joe Biden lost tonight. He didn't change the race. He didn't help reverse the momentum. He did more harm to the Obama ticket than good. He tried too hard to be the tough guy and it was so over the top, even CNN analysts say he was disrespectful.

CNN says viewers say Ryan won.

New Berlin, Wisconsin bus driver tells 12 year old he should have been aborted...because of Romney yard sign!

Why is it always the liberals who get nasty with innocent children over their whackjob political views?

The latest incident comes from New Berlin, Wisconsin, where a 78 year old female bus driver told a 12 year old boy on her bus that his parents should have aborted him because they had a Romney Ryan sign in their yard. The bus driver has since been fired.

Even an old woman like this, who could be your sweet grandmother, has the potential to morph into a pile of  steaming feces due to the virus of liberalism.

But it isn't just her. Just a few weeks ago another Obama supporter, teacher Lynette Gaymon of Philadelphia, humiliated and harassed a 16 year old female student in class for wearing a pink Mitt Romney t-shirt, comparing it to the KKK.

During the recall election in Wisconsin, liberals corralled a group of elementary school children on a playground near a polling place to chant "No Walker! No Walker!".

In 2008, a teacher in North Carolina reprimanded a young girl because she said she didn't support Obama. The young girl's father was then serving in Iraq.

During the primary season this year, a middle school teacher in Virginia assigned his students a project that required them to research all of the weaknesses with the Republican presidential candidates, and send their findings to the Obama campaign.

I have collected plenty of other examples of Obama zombies intellectually abusing children here.

The closer the election gets, the nastier the uncivilized Obama zombies become. Last week, black actress Stacey Dash was subjugated to vicious racial slurs after announcing her support for Romney. Days ago, a report from Virginia showed Obama supporters stealing Mitt Romney signs and covering others with human feces.

5 states shift from Obama territory to battleground states.

The post debate benefits just keep rolling in.

Real Clear Politics has shifted 5 states from 'likely Obama' to 'toss up'. They are Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and New Hampshire.

Obama now has a stable count of 201 electoral votes. Romney has 181.

And this is what the electoral map will likely look like after election day:

A year ago if you would have told me Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin were in play, I wouldn't have believed you. 

Who is Barack Obama, really?

Earlier this week I wrote a lengthy post titled 'Who is Mitt Romney, really?'

Now it is Barack Hussein Obama's turn.

This is done on a whim in response to a report that Obama truly thought he had won after last week's debate ended. Really? Yes.

According to an insightful report from the UK's Daily Mail, President Obama initially thought he had beaten Romney at the close of the debate. Among other things...

*Obama continued to ignore top aides during debate prep.
*Obama took an entire day of scheduled debate prep to visit the Hoover Dam instead.
*Obama was so disdainful of Mitt Romney, he felt he didn't need to take the time to prepare for the debate with him.

This is an open door into the brain of Barack Obama. This is who the man is. He is a grade A narcissist who thinks everyone loves him. He thinks no matter what the circumstances, everyone will still fawn over him like obedient serfs. He thinks he is so great, he doesn't need to take the time and effort to prepare for petty things, like presidential debates.

He also despises Mitt Romney. He hates everything about Mitt Romney. He hates that Mitt Romney was a privileged child. He hates that Mitt Romney was a corporate businessman. He hates that Mitt Romney is white. He hates that Mitt Romney is a capitalist. He hates that Mitt Romney is patriotic. He couldn't even bring himself to make eye contact with Mitt Romney during the debate. Obama is an arrogant, childish, over confident, snide, SOB and it shows. Even his top aides know it.

Steve Wynn vs. Obama: "I'll be damned if I want to have him lecture me on small business."

Steve Wynn On Obama: "I'll Be Damned If I Want To Have Him Lecture Me"

 I've created about 250,000 direct and indirect jobs according to the state of Nevada's measurement. If the number is 250,000, that's exactly 250,000 more than this president, who I'll be damned if I want to have him lecture me about small business and jobs. I'm a job creator. Guys like me are job creators and we don't like having a bulls-eye painted on our back. 

The president is trying to put himself between me and my employees. By class warfare, by deprecating and calling a group that makes money 'billionaires and millionaires who don't pay their share.' I gave 120% of my salary and bonus away last year to charities, as I do most years. I can't stand the idea of being demagogued, that is put down by a president who has never created any jobs and who doesn't even understand how the economy works.

Romney takes lead in RCP average for first time in 2012.

Today, Romney overtook Obama in the overall Real Clear Politics polling average for the very first time this entire year. He currently holds a 0.7% lead over Barack Obama after a slew of post debate polls showed him in the lead. Among those, Pew reports Romney ahead 4, Gallup shows Romney ahead 2, and IBD/TIPP shows Romney ahead 2. Rasmussen shows a tie, with Romney pulling ahead in the battleground state poll for the first time since September 19th.


The complete 2012 RCP tracker. 

To provide a reference, the red line shows October 3rd, the day of the first presidential debate.

Those of you who read regularly here know I no longer use this RCP average as viable data. The majority of the polls taken this entire election cycle have used samples that assume 2008 levels of Democrat turnout, despite clear indications Republicans will have the edge in enthusiasm come election day. One must ask, if Romney is now ahead by 0.7% with polls that oversample Democrats by 5-15 points, how far is he really ahead? 

Other post debate polls show Romney closing gaps in Pennsylvania and Michigan. But the most shocking poll of all? According to the most recent poll from Rasmussen, just released today, Obama is ahead by just 6 points....In CONNECTICUT!

Unless a video is released the night before the election of Romney molesting a young child, he is going to win the election.

Also, I feel compelled to apologize. Last week in preparation for the first debate, I said it would not be a game changer. I was wrong. This debate was surely a game changer, as you can see above. Romney unexpectedly turned in one of the strongest debate performances ever recorded, but perhaps more historic was Obama's performance, which many are ranking as the worst incumbent debate performance in presidential debate history. Obama self destructed last week. As one pundit said, "In 90 minutes, Romney wiped out 200 million dollars in negative battleground state ads from the Obama campaign."

As black Americans voice support for Mitt Romney, true liberal racism is exposed.

Black actress Stacey Dash recently voiced her support for Mitt Romney on her Twitter page.

As expected, she was met with a tidal wave of left wing racism, such as the following responses.

The libs and Obama bruised knee brigade just can't help themselves. They are inherently racist. They are itching to hurl racial slurs. Any articulate, open minded black conservative who makes their opinions know is chastised by Democrats in the most racist and revolting of ways.

Here is a new ad from the Romney campaign showing some of his African American supporters. As the liberals watch this, they can't help but think..."Uncle Tom", "Oreo", "Token", "House Nigger"...




Notice the difference between black Americans who are conservative and black Americans who aren't? 

Why Obama is a failed president: Colorful pictures for liberals.

And I didn't even have to mention the unemployment rate.

Who is Mitt Romney, really?

A few days ago good, obedient liberal David Letterman, an expert in political matters no doubt, spouted the battered and bloodied Obama campaign line once again..."Mitt Romney is a felon."

Letterman, and the other liberals throughout the Obama campaign all the way up to the very top with King Barry himself are continuing this line of attack. With such a dismal record both economic and foreign, the reelection campaign of failed president Barack Hussein Obama has no other alternative. They must run a campaign of negative attacks on Mitt Romney. To do this, they have spent hundreds of millions of dollars running attack ads in battleground states, molding the delicate narrative of Mitt Romney's dangerous persona...he is too rich, he has never paid taxes, he keeps all his money in offshore accounts, he hates women, he hates poor people, he hates dogs, etc.

The Obama campaign has spent too much time and energy painting Romney negatively, with the help of the state run media entrenched around their camp. That is why the first presidential debate was so devastating. It was the first time the American people could actually see Governor Mitt Romney without the media/Obama campaign filter spoonfeeding the the public the distorted information they desire. For 90 minutes, 70 million Americans saw Mitt Romney in action and they liked what they saw. He was articulate, genuine, aggressive, passionate, and focused. Obama said "uhh" and looked down at his feet.

So, because the media and the Obama campaign want to make Election 2012 all about Mitt Romney, I thought I would share a few facts with you about him.

* From 2003-2007, while serving as the Governor of Massachusetts, both Mitt Romney and his lieutenant governor took no salary.

*In 2002, while serving as the CEO of the Salt Lake City Olympic Games, Mitt Romney vowed to take no salary unless the Games made a profit. After reversing an initial deficit into a 100 million dollar profit, Romney donated his entire earnings as CEO to charity.

*In 2011, Mitt Romney donated over 4 million dollars to charity, amounting to 30% of his entire income. (President Obama donated 21% and Vice President Biden donated 1.5%).

*In 1996, after being notified his business partner's daughter had gone missing, Mitt Romney, who was working at Bain Capital at the time, immediately shut down the firm, set up a command center in NYC, enlisted the help of private detectives, set up a toll free hotline, and coordinated efforts with the NYPD to help find the missing girl. 5 days later, after receiving a tip on the hotline, the 14 year old girl was found.

*In 1979, Mitt Romney, then the pastor of a Mormon church in Massachusetts, built an ongoing relationship with a cancer stricken boy who was bedridden in the hospital. Romney visited the boy often, helped him write a will, and upon the boy's wishes, conducted the eulogy at his funeral.

*Between the ages of 19 and 21, Mitt Romney spent 30 months as a Mormon missionary in France. During the time, Romney went door to door and reached out to the local French population, many times ending in rejection. Romney lived in a crude dorm for his entire time in servitude.

*During the race against Ted Kennedy, Mitt Romney visited a VA hospital in Boston during the campaign. While visiting, he asked the hospital administrator what they were lacking. They told him they needed milk, 7000 pints to be exact. That next week, a milkman delivered 7000 pints of milk to the VA hospital, paid for by an anonymous donor. That donor turned out to be Mitt Romney.

*Mitt Romney helped fund and build a small park dedicated to the son of a neighbor, Joey O'Donnell, who had died of cystic fibrosis. Directing the local boy scout troop, Romney helped maintain the park for the next five years, never once notifying the press or attempting to take credit.

*Mitt Romney paid the college tuition of two boys who had been seriously injured in a horrific car accident. Reed and Rob Nixon, sons of friends Mark and Sheryl Nixon, were left handicapped by a car crash in 1995, just before Christmas. The Romney family visited them, bringing gifts, holding a 5K fundraiser for the family, and eventually paying for Reed and Rob's college tuition.

The more you study the life of Mitt Romney, the more you actually learn who the man is. This is coming from someone who formerly despised him. Before Mitt Romney became the Republican nominee for president, I freely admit, I hated him. I thought he was a pandered, rich, Massachusetts liberal who cared not for the petty needs of the general American populace. I was wrong. Mitt Romney shows a life of dedication, commitment  leadership, and hard work.

Compare this to Barack Hussein "Barry Soetoro" Obama, or whatever his name is. Where are the personal stories of Barack Obama's kindness and generosity? Where are the personal accounts of what type of person Barack Obama is? Where are the college friends who are so proud of their friendship with him? Where are the people whose lives have been changed by Barack Obama? When Mitt Romney was 19, he left his family behind and traveled to a foreign land in dedication to his faith. When Barack Obama was 19, he was hanging around with the "Choom Gang", getting high, getting drunk, and fantasizing about the coming Communist revolution in the United States. Think long and hard about that for a while.

Mitt Romney's life is a puzzle that has been completed. Every piece is in place and you can see the picture of  who he is...an intelligent, successful man who loves his family, is dedicated to his faith, and loves the United States. Now look at Obama's life. It is a half completed puzzle. There are open areas we know nothing about. The edges have been completed as his term has progressed, but gaping holes remain in the middle. We know next to nothing about his times at Occidental College and Columbia University. We know a little about him taking a trip to Pakistan in the early 80's. We know he had a social security card from Connecticut, a state he never lived in, but no clarification. Everything about his early life is a mystery. Shouldn't that be of concern to conservatives and liberals alike? It should.  We do know the people he did associate himself with. People like Bill Ayers, Rashid Khalidi, Derrick Bell, Frank Marshall Davis, Tony Rezko. The question isn't about who Mitt Romney is. All you have to do is dig a little and you'll know. The question is, who is Barack Hussein Obama? I know, some of you know, and more of America needs to know.

Romney gets rare post debate surge.

WSJ: Romney Gets a Post Debate Jolt

Mitt Romney's strong debate performance Wednesday night has generated $12 million in online contributions, his campaign said, as well as a surge in volunteers and bigger crowds at his events. 

The challenge for Mr. Romney in the weeks ahead will be translating this jolt of energy into votes in a race that saw the Republican nominee enter the first debate trailing President Barack Obama in most of the states that will decide the election.Republicans and Democrats say Mr. Romney's performance before a television audience of some 67 million people bought the GOP nominee a second look from swing voters and may help him improve an image battered by negative ads and his own missteps. The debate also gave Mr. Romney a chance to do something he couldn't in the primary: trumpet his record of working with Democrats and present himself as a practical deal maker who favors results over ideology. 

One former Obama White House official said the debate "has caused people to take a second look at Romney." 

It is too early to tell how much Mr. Romney moved the needle Wednesday night, and the early evidence is more anecdotal than empirical: Volunteers in Nevada lined up before campaign staff could open the doors on Thursday morning, the campaign said, and larger-than-usual groups showed up to work at field offices across the country. The campaign said it added more than 300,000 new Facebook friends.The $12 million the campaign reports raising in less than 48 hours after the debate tops the amount Mr. Romney raised in the days after announcing Rep. Paul Ryan (R., Wis.) as his running mate and the Supreme Court's decision to uphold a major plank of the president's health-care law. Sixty percent of the money came from first-time donors, the campaign said.

Democrats release worst political ad in history of presidential politics.

What do you do after you receive a complete butt kicking in front of 63 million Americans?

Claim your opponent is a big bully!

The Democrats released a new ad titled "Mitt Romney: What a Guy". It shows clips of a tenacious Romney commanding the now famous debate while a silent Obama stands by and a stuttering Jim Lehrer tries to moderate. And this is a bad thing? The ad implies that mean Mitt Romney just bullied little Barry a little too much!

What a joke.

The Best Liberal Reactions to Mitt Romney's Epic Debate Smackdown of Obama

How did the left react to Governor Romney's epic spanking of little Barry?

Just a few of my favorites...

"I can't believe I'm saying this, but Obama looks like he DOES need a teleprompter."
---Bill Maher

"But Romney's closing statement - very, very vague and highly deceptive. And is it me, or does he even sound like Reagan? And his final statement is on defending Medicare! He's the protector of that entitlement, even as his actual plan is a radical overhaul of it. --- How is Obama's closing statement so f*cking sad, confused and lame? He choked. He lost. He may even have lost the election tonight."
---Andrew Sullivan

"He was like, 'Oh an hour and half? I think I can get through this thing. And I don't even look at this guy.' Whereas Romney -- I love the split-screen -- staring at Obama, addressing him like prey. He did it just right."
---Chris "Not so tingly anymore" Matthews

"This is what happens when you pick John Kerry as your debate coach."
---Michael Moore

"Mitt Romney came with a chainsaw."
---James Carville

"I think he was off his game. I was absolutely stunned tonight."
---Ed "conservative women are whores" Schultz

"Obama comes across as a constipated professor."
---Nicholas Kristof

Andrew Sullivan on Obama debate performance: "F**king sad."

Rabid liberal Andrew Sullivan summed up Obama's pathetic debate performance best tonight.

"How is Obama's closing statement so f*cking sad, confused and lame? He choked. He lost. He may even have lost the election tonight."

Yep, Andrew, that about sums it up! Mitt Romney looked like a man in charge, a leader, and someone hungry for the presidency. He owned the entire debate. He was sharp, crisp, on point, humorous at times, and aggressive. Obama was lost. He stuttered, hesitated, looked down most of the time, and sounded awfully flat.

Romney wins this debate hands down, as even the liberal media lapdogs are forced to say tonight. And I'll say it again: Romney wins this election.
