Weekend Newsbites: Sunday, November 4, 2012


Well, folks... Election Day is comin' up fast.

My advice? Ignore the media. Ignore the polling. Ignore the pundits.

Whatever else is going on in your life on Tuesday, make sure you get out and vote for the lesser a$$hole - Mitt Romney.

Convince the convincible that a vote for Obama is a vote for the continued full-speed ahead dismemberment of what used to be the greatest nation the world had ever seen.

Convince the convincible that not voting... or writing someone in... or voting for a third party... is a vote for Obama.

Romney sucks. No doubt. But he sucks less - far less - than Obama.

A Romney-Ryan victory will at least give Americans such as ourselves an opportunity to regroup and recover and... well... who knows... anything could happen... perhaps fate will take Romney out of the picture and put Ryan in the Oval Office...

Or... perhaps Romney will "man up" as President... perhaps we'll get "Debate #1 Romney" as president.

Bottom line... if Obama is re-elected he'll have four more years to consolidate his legacy of "fundamental change" and America as we once knew it will never recover.

* THE NY DAILY NEWS ENDORSES... ROMNEY...?!?!

* FOLKS... I POST THIS NOT SIMPLY AS A NEWSBITES, BUT AS A MIRACLE - AS A SIGN THAT NOT ALL THE MSM HAVE SOLD THEIR SOULS TO SA... er... OBAMA.

Four years ago, the Daily News endorsed Obama, seeing a historic figure whose intelligence, political skills and empathy with common folk positioned him to build on the small practical experience he would bring to the world’s toughest job.

We valued Obama’s pledge to govern with bold pragmatism and bipartisanship.

The hopes of those days went unfulfilled.

Achingly slow job creation has left the U.S. with 4.3 million fewer positions than provided incomes to Americans in 2007.

Half the new jobs have been part-time, lower-wage slots, a trend that has ruinously sped a hollowing of the middle class.

The official unemployment rate stands at 7.9%, marking only the second month below 8% after 43 months above that level. Worse, add people who are working part-time because they have no better choice and the rate leaps to almost 15%. Still worse, add 8 million people who have given up looking for employment and the number who are out of jobs or who are cobbling together hours to scrape by hits some 23 million people.

Patricia Smith, the mother of slain State Department employee Sean Patrick Smith, who voted for Obama in 2008, is now blaming President Barack Obama for her son’s death.

“I believe that Obama murdered my son,” she said Thursday from the living room of her Clairemont home. “I firmly believe this.”

* I DON'T BELIEVE OBAMA MURDERED HER SON... BUT I DO BELIEVE HIS GOVERNMENT FAILED TO DO ALL THAT THEY COULD HAVE DONE TO SAVE HER SON AND THAT THE BUCK STOPS AT PRESIDENT OBAMA'S DESK.

Smith’s view echoes that of Charles Woods, father of Tyrone Woods, the 41-year-old former Navy SEAL from Imperial Beach who died fighting in Benghazi.

Charles Woods appeared on Fox News shows over the weekend to denounce decisions made by U.S. officials during the Libya attack.

“I’m a retired attorney, and I know that these actions legally do not constitute murder. But in my mind the people in the White House, all of them who have authority to send in reinforcements to prevent what they knew was going to be the death of my son, are guilty of murdering my son,” Woods said Sunday on Fox’s Sean Hannity show.

* VERY "SUBTLE." (NOT!) NOTE HOW THIS NEWSPAPER REPORT STRESSES THAT THE COMMENTS WERE MADE ON FOX NEWS... ON THE SEAN HANNITY SHOW. WELL... WOULD IT MATTER IF HE SAID IT ON CNN, PBS, NBC, ABC, OR CBS INSTEAD? I WONDER... DID CNN, PBS, NBC, ABC, OR CBS TRY TO GET WOODS TO APPEAR ON THEIR NEWS SHOWS...???

* OH... CUTE... IF YOU CONTINUE READING YOU'LL FIND THE NEWSPAPER THEN INTERVIEWS A FEW PEOPLE - WHO APPARENTLY HAVE NO CONNECTION TO THE FAMILIES OR THE OPERATION ITSELF - TO "DEFEND" THE ADMINISTRATION.

(*SMIRK*)

The extended Navy SEAL community around San Diego is talking about the details of the Libya attacks.Former SEAL Brent Gleeson, who served from 2000 to 2005, said some of the chatter is that Woods and Doherty asked for permission to respond, once bullets were flying, but they were told to stand down - also what Fox News reported.

(*NODDING*)

The CIA and Defense Department have denied those reports.

* WELL... KINDA... DEPENDING UPON WHICH DAY WE'RE TALKING, WHO IS TALKING, AND WHICH SPECIFICS ARE BEING REFERRED TO.

(*SMIRK*)

* AGAIN, FOLKS... YOU KNOW I PLAY IT STRAIGHT... YOU KNOW I BLOG IN REAL TIME, DAY AFTER DAY, WEEK AFTER WEEK. FEEL FREE TO REVIEW THE ARCHIVE POSTS AND NEWSBITES.

* ONE THING WE KNOW FOR SURE: THE ADMINISTRATION - INCLUDING OBAMA HIMSELF - HAVEN'T AMASSED A RECORD OF TRUSTWORTHINESS SINCE 9/11/12. "SOMEONE" SENT SUSAN RICE OUT TO LIE AND SINCE SHE WORKED FOR HILLARY AND HILLARY WORKS FOR OBAMA...

(*SHRUG*)

* WE ALSO ALL SAW OBAMA TRY TO PULL A FAST ONE IN DEBATE NUMBER TWO AND WITHIN HOURS CROWLEY AND THE MEDIA WERE FORCED TO ADMIT THAT OBAMA WAS BEING... er... LESS THAN TRUTHFUL IN HOW HE PORTRAYED HIS INITIAL REACTIONS TO 9/11/12.

* READ THE FULL ARTICLE FOR YOURSELVES, FOLKS... AND THEN ASK YOURSELF THIS QUESTION IN RESPONSE TO THE "CAUTIONARY" REMARKS: HAD AIR FORCE ONE CRASHED IN BENGHAZI... OR A HELICOPTER OR SMALL PLANE CARRYING HILLARY OR MAYBE MICHELLE OBAMA... DO YOU SUPPOSE THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN A SECOND'S HESITATION TO SEND EVERYONE IN WHO COULD BE SENT...? HMM...???
