I think Sandy is going to keep Obama in the White House.

Why,........ he's not delivering on his promises.

Brian Kilmeade has been missing from Fox & Friends. His house was heavily damaged. He has sea water in his drywall, starting to stink and there's been no Fema there. There's no power, therefore no heat. No gas. Houses are exploding because the main breakers are not shutoff when the people leave.

He took pictures and began tearing up his wood floors and tearing the soggy drywall off the walls. All of his furniture sits in his front yard.......not salvageable, but there, as proof they had furniture.

It's a ritzy section and they can afford a hotel, but no one is there to help anyone. Obama lied that help was coming because he was going to elimnate the red tape. People are just getting madder.

I think those that are trying to blame Romney for the meningitis outbeak sound like the desperate ones......from MSNBC!!!!

I don't think they are blaming as much as they are pointing out what happens when business is left to "self regulate".

You can glean what you want from the article, but I read the words......You can't bactrack accusations!

....."At the top of the list is blaming Romney for a meningitis outbreak based on something he didn’t do. Let’s say 10.5 on the scale. Salon.writer Craig Unger pinned the recent spike in meningitis, which resulted in the deaths of 29 people, on Romney.
Unger used one of the oldest and lamest campaign tricks. Find a lawyer to make some wacky accusation and then write about it. As it turns out, Unger was complaining about a recent problem that happened in 2012 and Romney hasn’t even been governor since 2007............."

I would say then that Unger is just plain wrong and no blame rests with Romney. I would also say in the bigger picture that less regulation is obviously not what the pharmaceutical industry needs, nor banking for that matter. So it isn't that Romney is evil, but the snake oil of less regulation is not the medicine the economy needs if we are going to see this kind of result.

------- Open your eyes!------ FEMA's vaunted "lean forward" strategy that called for advanced staging of supplies for emergency distribution failed to live up to its billing in the immediate aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. In fact, the agency appears to have been completely unprepared to distribute bottled water to Hurricane Sandy victims when the storm hit this Monday. In contrast to its stated policy, FEMA failed to have any meaningful supplies of bottled water -- or any other supplies, for that matter -- stored in nearby facilities as it had proclaimed it would on its website. This was the case despite several days advance warning of the impending storm.--- FEMA Taps Private Vendors to Meet Sandy Victim's Needs ---- Obama Refuses to Answer About Storm Victims’ Frustrations--- Obama Refuses to Answer About Storm Victims’ Frustrations | The Blog on Obama: White House Dossier --- Queens residents arm themselves in the post-storm blackout from looters--- Queens residents arm themselves in the post-storm blackout from looters - NY Daily News Yeah, he's doing a bang up job!!

I hope nobody told Stevie.

CLEVELAND, Ohio — Legendary performer Stevie Wonder this morning expressed his love for Cleveland during a get-out-the-vote rally at Cleveland State University.
His love went largely unrequited.

Fewer than 200 people showed up to watch Wonder perform a handful of his hits at the early voting event in support of President Barack Obama.

Most of the people had learned of the event just hours before the 9:30 a.m. start time. Some just happened to be in the area and followed the live music.

Campaign volunteer Ken Johnson asked who in the crowd had voted early before introducing Wonder.
Nearly every hand went up.

Romney’s offering solutions, Obama offers self-absorbed ego-maniac celebrities. The choice is clear.
MILWAUKEE (ABC News) – After thousands of ads, hundreds of stump speeches and a record war chest of campaign cash, President Obama is banking on a final burst of star power to boost his get-out-the-vote effort in the final 72 hours of the 2012 presidential campaign.

As Obama and his top surrogates – Vice President Joe Biden, first lady Michelle Obama and former President Clinton – barnstorm the battlegrounds this weekend, they will have a cast of Hollywood stars and music icons at their sides.

The pairings are aimed at driving turnout, particularly among young and minority voters, while bolstering enthusiasm in a handful of key states where polls show the presidential race very close.

Here in Wisconsin, Obama will be joined by multi-platinum singer Katy Perry, who appeared with the president at a midnight rally in Las Vegas last week wearing a white “ballot” dress. Later in Dubuque, Iowa, rocker John Mellencamp will perform, and actress Kate Walsh of ABC’s “Private Practice” and “Grey’s Anatomy” will address the crowd.

Dave Matthews will open for Obama at a late-night rally in Bristow, Va., where the president will also unite for the first time on the 2012 campaign trail with Bill Clinton.

The celebrity tour continues Sunday with Latino rapper Pitbull joining Obama in Hollywood, Fla.; soul legend Stevie Wonder performing at a rally in Cincinnati; and Dave Matthews making a second appearance with the president in Aurora, Colo.

Biden will tour Ohio on Sunday with pop singer Jason Mraz, stopping in Lakewood, Fremont and Lancaster. Michelle Obama will stump in Orlando, Fla., Monday with Ricky Martin.

I went running with a friend of mine this morning, he told me how the other day he and his wife were discussing the logistics of voting on Tuesday (where, what time, etc) when their 8 year old daughter piped up "Make sure you vote for Obama because he cares about children, Romney only cares about money!" They were both like "Ok, who told you that, where did you hear that, etc" she just laughed and said "I approve this message."

The unfortunate part to that story is that the 8 year old probably learned that in school.

I hope that if Romney wins the presidency, Americans will be reminded that wealth and the private-enterprise system are good things and should not be the subject of envy and scorn.----- Then again, I don’t expect much. No matter Tuesday’s results, I console myself, again, by Mencken: “Every decent man is ashamed of the government he lives under.” ------Civic Duty Vies With Cynicism as the 2012 Election Approaches ------ Civic Duty Vies With Cynicism as the 2012 Election Approaches - Reason.com --

The country is so divided that after Tuesday the lid is going to come off of this pressure cooker no matter what. We have only one person to blame for that and he is the occupant of the White House. God help us get through this....

Don't you find it ironic that a community organizer who's failure to lead has caused all of this division?
