Obama the demigod comes down to Earth

As I parted with the Indiana delegation, James Taylor had taken the stage, and he performed “You’ve Got a Friend” for the delegates:

When you’re down and troubled

And you need a helping hand

And nothing, whoa, nothing is going right. . .

The Republicans couldn't have picked out a better song for them. :laughin:

Each time the lights in my house flicker, I say to myself, "Ah, somewhere some young journalist-in-training has just kissed an electrical outlet."

Poll of registered voters. Not that special considering the Dems have a 7% lead in the total of registered voters. It will come down with likely voters

Plus I don't think the poor unemployment numbers have had time to sink in as I see it is a 7-day rolling average

We sent our children to be taught at the finest schools by Leftist professors. Some, like recovering Episcopalian ME...sent them to church to be lectured to...by Leftist clergy.

Now, we wonder why we cannot move the needle on this election.

We were outmanuevered long ago.

It should all come down to "its the economy, stupid." The jury is in on that. Obama is an epic fail.

The question is have we become so dense that a 2 x 4 blow across the head doesn't register anymore.

Few want to look at the financial Armageddon that awaits us starting Jan 1, 2013. Even if Obama wins what is he going to do? The same old same old borrow & spend? That fiscal cliff awaits us. Great change is coming whether we want it or not

I guess we know how serious the White House is taking our looming financial crisis.

White House to miss deadline for report on 'fiscal cliff' budget cuts

The White House on Friday said it will miss the legal deadline for delivering a report to Congress on the spending cuts from sequestration that are scheduled to take effect in 2013.

Spokesman Jay Carney told reporters on Air Force One that the report will be coming next week.

Under the terms of the Sequestration Transparency Act signed in August, President Obama was to tell Congress by Friday how the administration plans to implement the $109 billion in automatic cuts mandated by the Budget Control Act.

The Office of Management and Budget has repeatedly failed to make legal deadlines. It delivered its presidential budget proposals and mid-session updates late both this year and last year.

Republicans have tried to tie the tardiness to the failure of the Senate to pass a budget resolution for the last three years.

"Like the [Sen. Harry] Reid majority, the White House has shown astonishingly little regard for budget law in this time of crisis," said Stephen Miller, a spokesman for Senate Budget Committee Ranking Member Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala), who co-authored the transparency law.

The sequestered cuts coming in January were triggered by the failure of the 2011 supercommittee to reach a compromise on deficit reduction. The Pentagon says the looming defense cuts will devastate the military. The deal also cuts non-defense spending, but shields most entitlement benefits.

Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.), another author of the transparency bill, blasted the delay of the report and said the administration "seems to think it is above the law."...snipped

The poll there was said to be from "likely voters."

and...

The precision of the Reuters/Ipsos online polls is measured using a credibility interval. In this case, the poll has a credibility interval of plus or minus 2.7 percentage points.


I'm not familiar with how an online poll like this works.

Russian ships displayed at DNC tribute to vets

On the last night of the Democratic National Convention, a retired Navy four-star took the stage to pay tribute to veterans. Behind him, on a giant screen, the image of four hulking warships reinforced his patriotic message.

But there was a big mistake in the stirring backdrop: those are Russian warships.

While retired Adm. John Nathman, a former commander of Fleet Forces Command, honored vets as America’s best, the ships from the Russian Federation Navy were arrayed like sentinels on the big screen above.

These were the very Soviet-era combatants that Nathman and Cold Warriors like him had once squared off against.

“The ships are definitely Russian,” said noted naval author Norman Polmar after reviewing hi-resolution photos from the event. “There’s no question of that in my mind.”
