Maybe the most interesting moment in last week’s Presidential debate was when the President claimed that he had labeled the attack on Benghazi as a terrorist attack the day after in a Rose Garden comment. Mitt Romney rightly challenged such a thing, but was whip-sawed by moderator Candy Crowley who rushed to offer asylum to the President by interrupting Governor Romney and saying that President Obama had indeed labeled the Benghazi attack as the result of terrorism. He did mention “acts of terror,” but most certainly didn’t attribute the assault in Libya to such a thing, but for another 2 ½ weeks, continued to blame the murder of our Ambassador on a cheap You Tube video.
Though I don’t believe for a minute that his Rose Garden comments were intended to identify the Benghazi attack as the work of terrorists, let’s suppose for a moment that he intended it and said it. If that’s what he believed on September 12, then why would he and all his administration speak repeatedly about the little video and with such authority and certainty. The only thing more difficult than accurately predicting the future is to re-write history. And sworn testimony in Congress confirmed that this was no spontaneous uprising, but a carefully rehearsed and orchestrated terrorist act by trained and rehearsed goon squads. But the reluctance of the Obama administration to recognize terrorism as terrorism is a pattern.
Only in Obamaland was the Ft. Hood shooting a workplace incident despite the fact that the shooter shouted jihadist slogans as he pulled the trigger, had long standing correspondence with known facilitators of Islamic terror, and whose targeted violence on a military post was anything but random. And to this day, the Obama administration has refused to acknowledge what the actual shooter in the Little Rock assasination of a young soldier himself declared—that he carried out the shooting as an act of jihad. Governor Romney need not get sucked in the vortex of a word game as to the meaning of a single utterance on a single day over a single incident. The question which the President hasn’t answered, largely because no one has bluntly posed it to him is “do you believe that America and Americans are threatened by an ongoing radical Islamic jihad that is at its heart irrational and intentional?” The fact is, Islamic extremism is not just an obscure religion that’s veered off the main track to incorporate more esoteric expressions of faith. This isn’t about snake handling, speaking in unknown tongues, fire walking, or years spent in a vow of silence. This is a theology that justifies shooting a 14 year old girl in Pakistan because she wanted an education, or thinks strapping a bomb to your own child’s belly to kill innocent people in a café is just fine. I don’t expect this or any President to be able to suddenly and single-handedly stop the savagery and sickness of this religious perversion. I just would like to have a President who could for once, at least be honest as to what we’re up against. That’s my view.
Hi Mike: We always watch your show, me and my husband. You know some pollsters said that most Latinos voted for Obama. In fact, some people that they were saying Latinos are actually some Filipinos. Most Filipinos have Spanish last names that sometimes thought to be Latinos especially in California. We are sorry to say that they voted for popularity. We are conservative and voted straight Republican.
I'm sure some Latinos are not U S citizens so they cant vote in the election.

Mr. Huckabee, Katrina, voter suppression, racism, lying the country into war with Iraq, and reporting false information to America by Fox. That is a short list of issues that the Republican Party and Conservatives must address if they want to be taken seriously by Americans. Not every Democrat is a liberal, and not every voter is uninformed. I am offended to see ministers on both sides who claim they represent God, yet wade knee deep into politics for pay. You can't represent the truth and a lie at the same time.

You are an offense to Christianity! I am embarrassed and offended by your hate speech. You drive people from Salvation for your own political gain. You make me sick.

Let's look at "Obamaland" from the start. Young Senator who voted present at every vote. Has hidden his past at great expense to himself.
Written 4 books, the first of which isn't very flattering but, he believes is "A great work". So great he presented it to the Queen of England. Which offended her! Then he's elected and states "I won."
Now we have a long list of scandals that have been hidden by the press. Dept. of Energy Loans in the Billions to companies that are going bankrupt with taxpayer monies not repaid. (Top executives in the Companies got their money)
Then let's look at the gay lover and cocaine use allegations that were swept under the rug right after he got into office. Oh and the gay lover was murdered in Chicago still an unsolved murder.(READ THE BOOK)
Now we hear Rev Wright was paid to be quiet. HMMM
Then let's go to the "Fast and Furious". Those guns didn't just kill 2 American agents. Those guns have killed thousands of Mexican citizens, reporters and Police Officers in Mexico. Oh sorry, can't give that info to Congress I'm claiming "Executive Privilege."
Fort hood shooting he refuses to call a Terrorist act but, don't forget the Christmas Day Airplane Diaper Bomber. He didn't come out about him or call him a terrorist either. Too busy on vacation in Hawaii.
Now we have Libya. Another terrorist attack and Obama is hiding from it. Everyone wonders why?
Go back to his first book! He clearly states in it that if it comes to Islam or America he will stand with Islam. What makes anyone think he's changed his mind. He just hasn't figured out how to overtly hide the fact he's trying to side with Islam, so he stonewalls and hides. He froze under pressure and now is trying to hide that too. He's in over his head but, wants to be elected again. He likes the POWER!
His distribution of the wealth is to make America a third world country like he grew up in. That's why he's run up the deficit to bankrupt the country. READ THE BOOK. Obama has a deep animosity for America and her wealth, that's why he's so into Big Government.

I ran across a quote by Theodore Roosevelt in my local paper today that,perhaps,our Sec of Defense might find useful. I quote " In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing,and the worst thing you can do is nothing.
