Silent Majority: Robopoll records silence as support for Obama. From the comments: “Poetic: no response is a vote of confidence for the empty chair.”

Feds ignore rules and use stimulus cash to buy Chinese solar panels. “Government officials blame unfair competition from China for the collapse of solar panel manufacturer Solyndra, but such concerns didn’t stop the federal government from breaking stimulus program rules to use Chinese solar panels atop a federal building housing the offices of a senator, congressman and several agencies.” Chinese solar-panel makers are part of the 47%.

An October Surprise sprung early? We were surprised to learn the Romney “47% gaffe” tape was from a Boca Raton fundraiser on May 17th. If it’s such a big deal, why didn’t it surface until now? In fact it did, but nobody much cared. So why is the media making a big deal of it now? Something to do with the crash and burn of the “Obama, foreign policy genius” meme? Hmmm?

Egypt orders arrest of US-based Copts over film. “Authorities in Cairo have ordered the arrest of seven US-based Egyptian Coptic Christians for their alleged involvement in an anti-Islam video.” “An arrest warrant has also been issued for US Christian pastor Terry Jones.” Anybody want to give odds on the probability of King Barack the Buttsmoocher extraditing them?

How the media misrepresents the race. “There is now a revolving door between the leftwing blogosphere, the broader Democratic establishment, and the mainstream media – and the phony narrative of a runaway Obama lead is just one result of that insidious alliance.” Going bankrupt because they deserve to.

Randy Newman: “I’m dreaming of a white president.” Another self-righteous entertainment industry hack plays the race card. One of the commenters gave the perfect retort: “I’m dreaming of a president who isn’t a douchebag.”

Japan brandname firms shut China plants after protest violence. Hopeychangey is bustin’ out all over: “China and Japan…are arguing over the uninhabited islets in the East China Sea, a long-standing dispute that erupted last week when the Japanese government decided to buy some of them from a private Japanese owner.” Wonder which YouTube video got them all upset?

“The Hope and The Change” to begin running on cable & local stations starting Tuesday. Buyer’s remorse. We won’t get fooled again?

Protesters screaming ‘F**k America!’ attack US Embassy in Jakarta. Jakarta, Indonesia? Didn’t Obama once live there and eat dog sandwiches? Hey, then they can’t be mad at America – maybe they went to see “Ice Age: Continental Drift” and really hated it or something.

Some perspective on civilization. Blogger writing about a Victor Davis Hanson interview sums up our problem perfectly: “This election isn’t a battle between the haves and have-nots, as the Democrats want to paint it. It’s a battle between the responsible and the irresponsible; the realistic and the unrealistic; the self-reliant and the dependent. Frankly, it’s a battle between an adult’s view of the world and a child’s. And the adults are precariously close to losing.”

Obama Telephones Cairo. Crises are “springing” up all over the Middle East and Obama’s response is to make a phone call. “Mr. Obama is delusional to think that a phone call to Cairo can turn back the cunning massive wave against America, fed by the Islamists, the jihadists, and Iran.” The first 4 words say it all: “Mr. Obama is delusional.”

Liberal super PAC: Calling Republicans racist more effective than criticizing policy. “Matthew ‘Mudcat’ Arnold, the national campaign manager of the liberal CREDO super PAC, told a gathering of supporters in Aurora, Colo., on Sept. 8 that they’ve realized ‘policy did not move voters.'” Just by coincidence, calling people “raaaaacist” and “Naaaaazi” is all they have after their idiotic policies have failed miserably.

Iranian regime threatens to sue Obama using new UN Blasphemy Law he signed. In other news, an incompetent circus clown was injured today when his own exploding cigar went off in his face. Film at 11.

CNN “reporter” sends Obama donation request form to Twitter followers.
The most corrupted name in news.

Report: TV networks will be asked to boost Obamacare in plots of their top shows. “Plans are being discussed to pitch a reality television show about ‘the trials and tribulations of families living without medical coverage,’ according to the Ogilvy plan.” Maybe they can also deal with the trials and tribulations of families whose members are unemployed thanks to stupid crap like Obamacare.

Defend the Constitution… …vote NOOOOBAMA November 6.

Why Romney will win. Dick Morris talks polls: “…when a poll shows an Obama lead among likely voters of, say 47-45, it is based on an assumption that blacks will cast 13 percent of the vote. But the lack of enthusiasm among Obama’s base for his candidacy and their doubts about the economy make an 11 percent black turnout more likely. In this event, Romney would actually win in this sample by 46-45.” It’s a whiff of fresh air in the MSM’s toxic fog.

Al Qaeda in Yemen urges Muslims to kill U.S. diplomats over film. Damn that Romney, now look what he’s done! Can’t we prosecute him for daring to run for president or something?

Alleged “Innocence of Muslims” filmmaker taken in for interviewing by deputies. Is this the US or North Korea? Because the truth of the matter is this fellow’s real “crime” has nothing to do with Muslims’ hurt feelings, no one really gives a damn about that. His real “crime” is making Dear Leader look bad during his re-coronation campaign.

US credit rating cut by Egan-Jones… again. “Ratings firm Egan-Jones cut its credit rating on the U.S. government to ‘AA-‘ from ‘AA,’ citing its opinion that quantitative easing from the Federal Reserve would hurt the U.S. economy and the country’s credit quality.” Well, that didn’t take long. Good going, Ben & Barry.

A deafening silence over Sinai. “During this month, Egypt first violated the cardinal principle of the Israeli-Egyptian peace treaty by remilitarizing the Sinai, and then announced plans to spend a significant chunk of the international aid it is seeking on state-of-the-art submarines rather than its shattered economy.” Obama’s genius is about to defenestrate the Carter Presidency’s sole highlight.

Spiegel: “Obama’s Middle East Policy is in ruins.” Funny, over here US journ0lists are telling us it’s Romney’s campaign that’s in ruins. “The West must be tough on terrorism. And it must show that it can differentiate between rabble-rousers and peaceful Muslims.” Racists. BTW, check out this map of current Muslim protests throughout the world…

Four arrested in connection with attack on U.S. Consulate in Libya. “Those arrested were not directly tied to the attack, Monem Elyasser, the chief aide to Prime Minister Mustafa Abushagur, told CNN by telephone.” Hey everyone, scapegoat for dinner tonight!

Arab Fall becomes anti-US blowback as “turmoil” spreads to Morocco, Sudan and Tunisia. “…the anti-American revulsion, which started on September 11 in Egypt and has since taken Libya and Yemen by storm, is spreading like wildfire.” (Note: add Lebanon.) Hey, if a country explodes in the Middle East and no joun0lists hear it, is it still Romney’s fault?

Prominent members of Chicago Black Community confirm: those closest to Obama know there is no second term coming. Blacks will not vote for Romney, they’ll just stay home: “Count on black turnout to be at 2004 levels, not 2008 numbers… Without blacks voting at 2008 numbers, Obama loses Ohio, Florida, North Carolina, and Virginia with no hope of making up those numbers with other groups. It’s as simple as that.” Can’t hide the decline.
