President Barack Obama is having trouble drawing large crowds on the campaign trail. At the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, his campaign was forced to move his acceptance speech from the 74,000-seat Bank of America Stadium to the 20,000 Time Warner Cable Arena, citing weather as the excuse. But the media are always eager to help--for example, putting 18,000 people inside a 5,000-seat arena at an Obama event in Milwaukee on Saturday.
The pavilion was not "filled"--a local reporter for Patch.com filmed empty seats (http://bit.ly/Qsjbi9 video) in the bleachers at the side of the arena. Nevertheless, the Journal-Sentinal played it safe, putting attendance at roughly 5,000-plus, a small but respectable turnout.
That's not how national media covered it. Darren Samuelsohn of Politico reported that the president addressed "a crowd the Obama campaign estimated at 18,000 in a city park overlooking Lake Michigan" in an attempt to "lock up" Wisconsin.
Laura Meckler of the Wall Street Journal--repeated the campaign's 18,000 claim without even revealing the source of the official-sounding estimate... Continued
In the 30-second ad, the narrator says: “Bob Woodward, the Washington Post reporter who broke Watergate, recently wrote that during stimulus negotiations, President Obama called his Democratic leadership team, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi. And as President Obama spoke, Nancy Pelosi hit the mute button, went on with their meeting, ignoring the President. Not even listening to what he had to say. If he cannot lead his own party, how can he lead America?”
Pelosi called the ad "clearly ... an act of desperation" and denied that she ever muted Obama, according to Politico.

Tonight, CBS aired a 60 Minutes interview with President Obama. But curiously enough, the news magazine show did not air a clip of Obama admitting to interviewer Steve Kroft that some of his campaign ads contain mistakes and that some even "go overboard." Continued...

Here is an eye opener for Obamacare proponents. The Premier of Newfoundland and Labrador, Danny "Millions" Williams, left Canada on Monday to have heart surgery in the United States.
If socialized health care is such a great thing, why is one of their high ranking politicians opting out, in favor of a free market system. The answer is simple, quality. In true political fashion, what's good enough for the governed is not good enough for the governors. Continued...
President Obama cannot escape responsibility for what happened at the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi. Despite the precarious conditions in Libya — an unstable central government, militias operating as local authorities, the proliferation of weapons, and the persistent influence of al-Qaida — the Obama administration failed to provide sufficient protection for American diplomatic personnel. As a result, U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans were killed in a mob attack.
obamma's hate for Jews is increasingly evident. Has there been a western leader since Hitler to hold Jews in such contempt?
Rep. Morgan: 'We are taking money out of the pockets of the mines in U.S. while we are giving money to help the Chinese mines figure out their problems...We lost another 620 minters laid off in my district in one small town alone. We are helping the Chinese figure out how to – it's technical assessment of coal mine gas recovery and utilization in China. The Chinese don't seem to have any trouble competing with us on all kinds of different levels and I don't understand why we are giving them grants to help them in their industries.'
Morgan to EPA official: "Have you given any $180,000 grants to U.S. mines to help them with this same type of thing? Yes or no? Have you given any grants of the similar size 180k or more to U.S. mining concerns in regards to helping them mine coal?
EPA official: "I do not know." (Watch video here for full statements)
Stumbled upon this one. Unskewed polls or perhaps it should be titled skewed the way you want them skewed. Not sure.
And here's the other side of the coin....
For too long, false Christians have preached staying out of politics, leaving anti-Christians to control it. Now it's time to take back that control.
How many liberals have clamored for the humanity of the Canadian Health Care system? I think it’s safe to say that at one time, a majority of them have advocated for a single payer system.
One of the problems with single payer is the government can decide to stop paying because some “death panel” declared the patient’s life not worth the money required to keep them alive.
For example, a panel in Canada’s health care system has decided to remove a baby from life support, despite the parents protestations. The parents when to court. The court found in favor of the government.
So now, rather than die at home, with loved ones surrounding him, baby Joseph Maraachli will die at the hospital, at the hands of the Canadian health care system: Continued...
