Bad Timing for Trouble to Come to White House

[deacon blues]

1. The Chicago teacher strike has raised doubts about the President’s domestic leadership.

2. The publication of Bob Woodward’s new book has raised questions about his economic management and political skills.

3. 11 years to the day after the 9/11 attack, radical America-hating Islamists stormed the U.S. embassies in Cairo and Benghazi, assassinated the U.S. ambassador to Libya and three others.

4. U.S. and Israeli relations have sunk to another low point.

Australia:

As the United States continued to strengthen security at diplomatic stations, fury over an anti-Islam film spread to Australia, where demonstrators clashed Saturday with police outside the American Consulate in Sydney.
Carrying signs that read: "Obama, Obama, we like Osama" and "Behead All Those Who Insult the Prophet," hundreds of protesters gathered on the steps of the consulate.

MSNBC is hilarious!

They're trying to make this about Romney, saying he was resting today from a "rough week". Hahahahahaha! Yeah, this week is all about Romney! He's the biggest issue on the mind of Egyptian mobs and Libyans and Muslims all over the world! Hahahahaha! Liberals are sooooooo desperate to divert attention away from Obama, the economy and his failures.

This is what brought Carter down ... we can only hope!!!

As I said, if Romney cannot beat Obama after this uprising in the middle east and the credit downgrade then either Romney didn't want to win or he is surrounded by idiots in his campaign management team.

Deacon,
What do you make of this exchange between Jake Tapper and George Will Sunday morning?

TAPPER: I want to switch topics right now to a hardening we've seen in conventional wisdom about the state of -- of the -- of the election. We've seen in -- in Friday, these three swing state polls came back indicating, in Ohio, Obama's up 7 points, Virginia, Obama is up 5 points, Florida, Obama is up 5 points.

And, George, one of the amazing things is, Mitt Romney is no longer in polling beating Obama on trust to handle the economy.

WILL: Which is his campaign in one sentence. Those three states have one thing in common: They all have Republican governors. And all three Republican governors are bragging -- perhaps rightfully so -- that they have got their economies up and running. If you add Wisconsin, with Scott Walker, and -- to that list, you have a tension, a kind of disconnect between the interests of the Republican governors in the swing states and the interests of the Romney campaign.

The polls are wrong. Dick Morris points out they use 2008 models where 13% of African Americans voted. In 3 previous elections only 11% voted. He said it's more likely 11% would vote because 2008 was such a unique election. Unemployment is high among blacks and the enthusiasm isn't there. If you use the 11% number it puts Romney slightly ahead. Plus studies have shown polls favor Democrats. Carter, Dukakis were both leading in polls at this stage and both lost.

So, Deacon, You don't want to talk of more salient points than just skimming off the top of news feed?
