I wasn't trying to attack the source, and not acknowledge the substance. I'm as excited as any liberal about this news, I was just speaking to the media outlets, and the release of the article to determine: 1. If the public would know before the Tuesday election, and 2. if the release of the article was well timed. Sometimes I think out loud.

Do you believe that the US government is controlling the media?

http://beforeitsnews...le-2444190.html

"CNN never aired the Nick Robertson report in Egypt because it completely contradicted the Obama Administration, and Hillary Clinton State Department, Egyptian assertions. In short, it proved they were lying – BIG TIME. The refusal to air the real reasoning for the Egyptian Embassy assault was intentional protection of President Obama specifically orchestrated by the CNN News group. Specific, intentional, lying."

Suffering from "election fatigue"???

Relentless media coverage of the U.S. presidential election caused a frustrated four-year-old girl to burst into tears this week, with the child's mother catching the cathartic release on video.

"I'm tired — I'm tired of Bronco Bama and Mitt Romney," Abigael Evans told her mother, Elizabeth Evans, as the Colorado child's eyes welled up after hearing what her mother calls "one too many mentions of the election" on NPR news.

In the video, posted to YouTube, Elizabeth Evans can be heard reassuring her daughter that the campaign will be over in "only a few more days."

Upon seeing the video and agreeing that the public is likely experiencing election fatigue, NPR released a personal apology "to Abigael and all the many others who probably feel like her."

In the statement, NPR blogger Mark Memmott writes: "We must confess, the campaign's gone on long enough for us, too. Let's just keep telling ourselves: 'Only a few more days, only a few more days, only a few more days.'"

As one comment on the video noted:

The part where the mother told her that President Obama shot Santa in the face and Governor Romney killed, stewed and ate The Easter Bunny was cut from the video.

"Decider in chief" argument by Clinton.

Clinton stumps for Obama in New Hampshire

“Twenty years and nine months ago, New Hampshire began the chance for me to become president,” former President Bill Clinton told 14,000 gathered in Concord before introducing President Barack Obama. Clinton said he was more enthusiastic for Obama than he was for himself.

Rather have Obama's well known policy and familiarity than Romney's unknown journey to an abyss of problems probably worst than Obama's. I've seen so many crap coming out of Romney's mouth along with numerous and countless lies that I'd vote for Obama 100X over Romney.

Team Obama’s campaign manager is trying to muffle the political impact of President Barack Obama’s call for ballot-box “revenge” by claiming that Gov. Mitt Romney is himself touting revenge.

“The Romney campaign’s message today is revenge, ours is the President’s plan for the middle class,” campaign manager Jim Messina tweeted Sunday morning. “I’ll take that contrast any day.”

The spin follows Romney’s rapid effort to highlight Obama’s startling Nov. 2 call for revenge on Election Day. (RELATED: Romney pushes ‘hope and change’)

“Don’t boo, vote! Vote! Voting is the best revenge,” Obama said Friday at a rally in Springfield, Va.

Romney cited that comment in a speech later that day and has emphasized it over the weekend. The campaign on Saturday released a TV ad using the comment to highlight Romney’s own end-of-campaign themes: “love of country,” optimism, hope and change.

The ad is titled “Revenge Or Love Of Country.”

Both campaigns conduct numerous polls to gauge the impact of each day’s events. Messina’s effort to spin the revenge controversy suggests that it is alienating late-deciding voters in key swing states.

Just by making a claim that associates Romney with “revenge,” Messina is nudging the established media to treat Obama’s comment as merely campaign-trail snark, instead of a gaffe that reveals hostile and divisive impulses.

So far, media coverage of Obama’s “revenge” call has been muted, especially when compared to the coverage of Romney’s “47 percent” comments to wealthy donors.

Asked for a comment about Messina’s statement, Romney’s team responded with heavy criticism.

With no record to run on and no vision for the future, President Obama is resorting to false, discredited attacks and a cynical closing message urging voters to choose ‘revenge,’” said a statement from Romney spokesman Ryan Williams.

“Mitt Romney wants to bring people together and he wants Americans to vote for love of country. He will deliver real change for a real recovery, creating 12 million new jobs with rising take-home pay and a better future for all Americans,” said the statement.

Both candidates are trying for an upbeat end to their campaign.
