Romney Tied With Obama In Softball
According to Roseanne, Mitt Romney is now tied with Barack Obama in softball. This is one of the ‘firewall’ sports hippies hoped would protect the president against defeat in Florida and Virginia. Holiday Inn manager Topol found that Romney and Obama were tied at 49 per cent in the softball, which Obama won in a 14-point landslide in 2008. Buoyed by internal polling which shows similar numbers, Romney is to head to 666 Park Ave. next week, as first reported by Sharon Gless last Tuesday. Romney will be dwarf tossing in France on Monday evening.
Romney advisers believe that Emily Post’s recall victory this year gives them an edge with curling iron voters. In addition, Romney’s second cousin, Matilda, is from Wisconsin and she’s already voted.
The Romney campaign also believes Obama is very vulnerable in sushi rowing – a favourite of the president because his felching victory in 2008 was the first step on his road to the World’s Largest Thermometer. Colorado is positioned over Nevada with decisive tits.
Bilbo Baggins predicted that Obama would be travelling to Pennsylvania to protect his large purple toes there. Another aide predicted that Obama would be figure skating in Scranton next week. No decision has been made within Stevie Nicks about whether to spend money on leg warmers in Greater Philadelphia.
Read the real article here.
I enjoyed this down to my large purple toes.
I was expecting purple lips.
I think this is probably one of the most interesting articles out there with regard to the Romney v. Obama campaign.
My bet is that this will land on Panetta even if Obama is truly at fault.
Agreed, John.
I listened to this article, not sure how I feel about Rush Limbaugh but this is a pretty damning interview if it’s true:
http://www.therightscoop.com/must-watch-rush-military-caller-says-beyond-a-shadow-of-a-doubt-obama-knew-about-benghazi-attack-ordered-no-response/
I heard that caller. I was very impressed with his inside knowledge – lots of little comments and terminology that led me to trust what he said.
One very important detail he gave: in addition to the unclassified emails that were leaked, there would have also been urgent voice/telex messages to an ‘action desk’ at the WH.
It is very clear that there was a rescue force — one created specifically for situations like that — on the tarmac in Sicily and ready to roll, but they were ordered to stay put. CIA denies they gave the no-go order, Petraeus says it wasn’t him. That leaves obama.
Now that the Denver Post reporter has broken the wall of silence, I don’t see how obama can evade this question.
(My cousin worked on C-130′s when he was in the AF, btw.)
I agree with you Tamerlane, pretty ballsy of that caller to speak with that type of knowledge in terms of what was going on.
It’s blatantly obvious through the course of that call that there were/are rapid response teams able to be deployed in volatile situations and I thought it was interesting to note that when Rush asked the caller who ultimately would make the decision that the caller hesitated a bit… it’s either Obama, Biden, Clinton or Panetta.
Panetta strikes me as a bit hawkish, Clinton seems mostly competent in her role as SoS and has already confirmed she authorized an order for additional security…so if Obama/Biden were out of conact at 5pm when an alert came in I somehow doubt that either of them would say “let’s hold on this”… which leave Obama/Biden.
If the timeline is correct then I can only assume that Obama gave the order to hold, and once he realized how horrible the situation was sent Susan Rice out to peddle the lame-ass excuse that this was all about some stupid YouTube video. My guess is that Obama gave the order to stand down, just like he repeatedly gave the order to stand down on Bin-Laden (then Panetta went around him) and thought that having drones doing flyovers would cover it.
The horrible cover up as a result of the failures in decision making now underway is only designed to protect Obama until Nov 6.
That interview is stunning. The damn has got to break on this before the election. If Obama wins and this comes out later – provided the next war doesn’t start in late Nov/early Dec which I suspect it will – he will be impeached and removed causing huge trauma in the country, far more than if Obama simply loses. People who know the truth MUST know this has a high potential of happening and many of these people remain sane. I’d imagine very few powerful people in this nation want the agony of this scandal spreading thru a 2nd term. I presume they have the foresight to see that it will do just that.
The question is – IF this guy is right – where was Obama? Did Jarrett slam the door on who ever showed up to demand a response? That is my bet. Jarrett to someone stopped the news from getting to BHO. And then the weeks and weeks of lies emerged. They had to at that point.
” it’s either Obama, Biden, Clinton or Panetta.”
Dan: The only one in that list that could’ve made the decision not to rescue was Obama. I’ll give you, Panetta maybe…but even he would’ve had to have been green-lighted by O. Not making a decision (especially in an emergency, where every minute counts) is, in and of itself, also a decision. The notion that Clinton — a SoS — could’ve given the order or made a war decision is absurd.
NES, the guy on the phone call (Doug?) said that Obama, Biden, Clinton or Panetta could’ve made the call… I was just repeating that assertion. I’ve got to admit I’m a bit fuzzy on breakdown of military roles and responsibilities, but I know that POTUS is CiC, so that ultimately the call should have been (and probably was) Obama’s decision.
I did notice that when Limbaugh asked the caller point blank who could’ve made the call he hesitated.. probably because he’s military and no matter what your politics are a military person is not supposed to be insubordinate to CiC.
But yeah, bottom line, this whole thing stinks of a bad call on Obama’s part and resultant cover up. Obama fucked up big time.
Does anyone remember http://www.gutsymove.com?
Got it, Dan. Thx for clarifying.
This is a hallmark of Obama in the Illinois state legislature. Thus his “present” votes.
This entire situation just enrages and saddens me.
You have put your finger on it, Leslie. This is how O has always rolled — never dealing with headwinds, never actually doing anything substantive, never taking responsibility.
Let’s get this effer out on Nov. 6. He can retire to Los Angeles and be a big queen on the celebrity circuit. TMZ can take over coverage from the NYTimes.
This would be funny if it weren’t tragic: http://hotair.com/archives/2012/10/26/question-for-obama-supporters-what-do-you-think-of-mitt-romneys-kill-list/
It illustrates the thesis of Tamer’s latest piece about how Obama turns liberals into zombies. (See link in prior thread.)
I saw that too NES and felt the same. I was hoping, though, that the video director had asked all the Obama supporters who claimed not to care after all about Obama’s “unconstitutional and immoral” actitivies b/c “of healthcare” whether they really knew what the health insurance bill really did. I bet they’d be just as ignorant and shocked that they weren’t going to get “free health care” after all.

Obama’s closes on a negative. Surprise! See linked ad. (Note almost exclusive focus on minorities.)

Interesting fact: the MSM’s always talking about how, practically, Romney must win Ohio, while glossing over the fact that Obama’s in a similar predicament. If O doesn’t land Ohio, he must win all these states to win – all 5: NV, CO, IA, WI, NH. Of these, he’s very unlikely to win CO; NH and IA are also going to be difficult.
Another way of looking at it: assuming MR wins NH or IA, then obama has to run the table in MN, WI, MI, OH & PA.
Good grief! Either Obama just lied or he admitted to voting “Present” in a life-and-death crisis in which four died.

The media seems insistent on letting Obama pull an Oliver North.

Is it likely that Panetta or Clinton will resign over this?
When do you think that would happen Dan? During the lame duck portion of Barry’s term?
I think a resignation might happen this week.
I don’t think anyone at the top will resign, they are in a bubble and think they are untouchable.
If Romney is elected, that bubble may start to collapse when they view their future retirements being spent in hearings and paying legal fees.
A lot depends on what the makeup of the Congress would be under Romney,imo..
I agree, connor/sophie.
Dan, I doubt Panetta will take the fall for Obama. He didn’t act alone in denying help; Obama had to have approved it. It wouldn’t help Obama if Hillary took the fall: a SoS doesn’t make decisions about military deployments (or lack thereof) — that’s self-evident. (Yes, she may have had a role in whether to beef up security prior to the incident, but not in whether to send in a strike force during the incident.) Petraeus is another potential candidate for the fall, I suppose, but, like Panetta, he couldn’t have made a decision without a greenlight from Obama. So, we come back to Obama. He may say that he had no choice but to refrain from taking action because Panetta/JCS said it was too risky; but, that answer will fall short. He should’ve gathered the necessary personnel and said, “I want a plan for a resue operation on my desk in 1 hour — then, I’ll go with the best plan.” At least that’s what a populace weaned on “The West Wing” and “24″ will expect.

Fox reported last night that obama watched the attack live. WH can spin that anyway they like, but here’s the ‘optics’:
1. There was a call for help;
2. there was a rescue team in position;
3. there was time for the rescue team to intervene;
4. obama chose not to send the rescue mission;
5.people died.
Katrina.
Tamer, you put it well. Really, there can be no defense to the failure to even attempt a rescue. No investigation is needed to answer a simple question: Why didn’t POTUS even try to rescue them? Obama knows the answer.
WE all know what happened here –Obama didn’t want to risk his reelection prospects with a potential Black-Hawk-down incident. Craven, little man.
In spite of all their spin, everyone is talking about it. Should be interesting to see what happens this week.
Today’s roundup of the assorted “Stephanopouli” all focused more on the storm hitting the East Coast.
Chris Wallace was the only morning show that didn’t pre-empt the first 20 minutes or so with weather reports leaving only the panel discussions for the viewers. But try as they might to sweep it under the rug, Benghazi is on almost everyone’s lips one way or another.
“Benghazi is on almost everyone’s lips one way or another.
Is it Anthony? I fear that may be wishful thinking. I have no doubt the Benghazi debacle will be a big deal during the lameduck session, but I’m considerably less confident it’ll sufficiently register before Nov. 6.
What was the source for Fox’s report? Named source? (The anonymous sources are, of course, less trustworthy.)
Yes it is, NES. At least from what I hear in public places here in NYC. Both in defense of the WH and in criticism among non-bots. Believe me, its not lost.
Glad to hear it, Anthony. I’m surrounded by KoolAid drinkers — and they’re all crickets about it.
The fact that there is now credibly evidence that Obama watched this attack live and chose to do nothing should be equivalent to the moment when senior Republicans came to the WH and told Nixon it was time for him to resign. It won’t be (he would never resign) but it should. It reminded me that – before Obama started “spiking the football” over the OBL killing, wasn’t it the case that Biden was urging not to send the seal team in, Obama was dithering and it was HRC who said – DO IT? Where was she when they were in the WH situation room watching this horrific attack taking place? I can’t believe she wouldn’t have acted if it was her decision. (But, maybe I’m being naive and/or wishful thinking).
I watched Argo last night. I’m sure there was some hollywood embellishment of that story that happened, but any way you look at it – DAMN, those people were brave! It is a shame that Carter could never take credit for his people having pulled that off. Who would-a thunk that Obama is worse than Carter even in the foreign policy arena?
I don’t think Obama is going to win. But, as I watch this unfold, I have to say he’d better hope he doesn’t. If he does, he will almost undoubtedly be impeached over this. (That’s solely within the House’s power). And, if worse comes out – as it probably will – he might even be convicted.
Sorry – realize I just said about impeachment what John said above more eloquently than me.
“The fact that there is now credibly evidence that Obama watched this attack live….”
Run, what’s the evidence of this? Got a link? Would love it to be true.
According to a reporter on Fox this a.m., her ‘source’ said the WH was requesting a Libyan force to lead the rescue effort. When they couldn’t achieve that…oh well.
They couldn’t make this into a poltically advantageous moment, so they did nothing.
On another note, we decided to go to the Board of Elections office in Palm Beach County and vote early today.Big mistake, the lines were snaked all over a huge parking lot, it was 99% AfAm’s , a huge turnout, if one assumes most were not there to support Romney. After moving about 10 feet in 40 minutes, we left.
“…it was 99% AfAm’s , a huge turnout,….”
Not a good sign for Romney.
You’re in PBC too Connor?
Would be interested to know what people here think about the anti-O ad linked in my tweet. To be honest, I find it quite sinister. (First time I’ve felt a little sorry for O…I’m sure it’ll pass in a few minutes.)
Needless to say, Larry Johnson of NQ loves it: http://www.noquarterusa.net/blog/73922/special-operations-speaks/
Just saw a pretty devastating anti Romney ad. Bain Cap closing a paper plant in Marion IN. Romney makes 100 mill and the town is destroyed.
Did you see it on TV? Is it playing in FL?
That ad has already been fact checked when Newt used the Marion IN plant in one of his superpac ads

D;er;s Yes, we are here for the winter, we have kids here.
Yep imust but no ones checking now.
Don’t forget DE, Newt lost Florida, Mitt beat Newt and Sweatervest combined.
Yes it was on in primetime broadcast tv in florida.
