Here is your wholesale quote:
This Libya thing, is Obama’s “lack of WMD’s” moment. Somewhere, George W. Bush is smiling and saying, “how’s it feel, Barry!?!?”

Is Obama going to toss Hillary under the bus?
I personally do not buy it. But that is what they are saying.
Powerline Blog reports the following:
Former President Clinton has been working overtime to drag Barack Obama across the finish line in this year’s election. Clinton has been hands-down President Obama’s most effective advocate. His personal credibility may not be substantial, but unlike Obama, Clinton produced a non-disastrous presidency. Thus, his overall credibility vastly exceeds that of the current president.
So how is Obama awarding Clinton for his heavy lifting? By throwing Clinton’s wife under the Benghazi bus, it appears. On Friday, White House spokesman Jay Carney told reporters that responsibility for the consulate in Libya fell on the State Department, not the White House. This followed Joe Biden’s claim during the Thursday debate that “we” (apparently meaning Biden and Obama) knew nothing about the Libya mission’s request to the State Department for extra security.
To support this claim, Powerline blog links to Tucker Carlson’s Daily Caller, which itself has a credibility problem; and a claim by author Ed Cline, who has a problem telling the truth in his writings. Anyhow, Ed Cline writes the following:
“Not only would it be hard to predict how it would play out as far as Hillary is concerned in the future, but it would certainly damage Obama’s chances for re-election if she resigned,” he said.
Klein said relations between the Clintons and President Obama have reached a new low, most recently with Obama ignoring Bill Clinton’s offer to help him and Vice President Joe Biden prepare for the debates with the Republican ticket.
“He had very clear ideas on how they should do that,” Klein told TheDC. “He never once got a response. And it absolutely sent him into orbit. He was furious that he would be treated this way, especially after what he did, in his view, at the Democratic convention in giving that nomination speech for Obama.”
Added Klein: “His fury turned to deep concern when the Benghazi business unfolded because he was deeply troubled by the appearance that the White House was going to throw Hillary under the bus, which in fact it appears it is doing.”
Klein said Bill Clinton’s informal legal team is made up of people he’s used in the past in legal situations. He asked them by phone to tell him how Hillary Clinton should handle this situation and what to do if she is subpoenaed to testify to the House Oversight Committee and provide them with memos regarding Benghazi.
The author said the situation is obviously complicated by Obama’s re-election, but also the possibility that Hillary would run in 2016.
“If she is left with this stain on her reputation, it could seriously damage her chances for election,” Klein told TheDC. “And this is what is really bothering Bill more than anything.”
The Agonist is not buying it and neither am I. Above anything at all, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are faithful Democrats to the very end. I do not believe for one lousy moment that Hillary Clinton or Bill or even Obama would risk ripping the Democratic Party to shreds over something like this. I might not be a professional when it comes to politics; but I am not an idiot. I know the Democratic Party well and with them, party always comes first. Nice try guys, but it is not going to happen. If anything at all, there will be some profuse apologizing and it will end with that.
So, nice; but, no. Sorry, but no.

Best Bus Driver Ever!
I do believe this bus driver ought to get the driver of the year award!
The first video comes via the Smoking Gun:
Here is an alternative view:
Now, there is the woman, who got socked in the jaw, playing the victim card!
Now, let me get this straight, this crazy woman, gets on a bus, acts like a total idiot; (for lack of a better work or at least one I want to print here!) and then when she gets socked in the mouth —- she is the victim? 
Here is what this moron woman did, before she got socked in the jaw:
OCTOBER 12–The Cleveland bus driver who delivered an uppercut to an unruly female passenger told cops that he struck the woman after she grabbed his throat and spit in his face as he was driving, according to police reports.
Artis Hughes, 59, was interviewed by officers shortly after the September 18 confrontation with Shi’dea Lane, 25, on a Greater Cleveland
Regional Transit Authority (RTA) bus.
Video of the fight (see below) went viral online this week, prompting RTA officials to suspend Hughes, a 22-year veteran, and characterize his behavior as “absolutely unacceptable.”
When cops responded to the stopped bus around 4 PM, Hughes and three passengers described Lane (pictured at right) as the incident’s aggressor. Hughes told cops that Lane initially boarded the bus without paying, claiming, “I left my bookbag.”
Hughes said that after Lane, a restaurant employee, eventually paid her fare, she told him, “You a Bitch and Your Momma’s a Bitch Too!” She also reportedly stated, “Keep talking about me and I will spit on you!”
In a written statement, Hughes recalled that Lane “grabbed me in the throat and spit on me in the face.” In response, the driver said he stopped the bus, “and I protected myself.” The Hughes statement does not reveal that he hit Lane squarely in the jaw with a bolo punch that knocked her to the ground.
One witness told cops that a “drunk” Lane “got on the bus fliping out” and “started talking crazy” to Hughes. After spitting on Hughes, the witness wrote in a statement, the driver “did what he had to do.”
A second witness wrote that Lane was “loud and obnoxious” from the start, and spit on Hughes and “started hitting him.” The witness added, “That’s when he hit her back.” A third witness described Lane as “drunk” and reported that “she hit him and he jumped out of his seat and started fighting her.”
Regional Transit Authority (RTA) bus.But yet, she is the victim. I bet this feckless, um, what’s a word I can use without being obvious? 
Wookie? 
Anyhow, I bet this feckless Wookie voted for Obama too. It would not surprise me at all. She should be grateful that the driver was not carrying a handgun; because in some states city drivers like this here, can carry and she is lucky she was not shot. I know if I was driving a bus like that and some dumbass wookie started acting like that and attacked me and I was packing heat; she’d be a dead wookie when I got done with her! 
Oh, and by the way, for those who object to me using the term “Wookie,” go to tell those at Fox Nation to stop using it too, okay? Otherwise, get lost. In this case, and to this racial realist, it is totally appropriate.
Either way, she got what was coming to her and in a big way too.

It is an updated one, via InstaPundit. Show this to Democrats when they try to blame our budget problems on Bush’s wars. This will prove that they are, as always; full of crap.
Disagreeing with Jeff Goldstein…..sort of
I happen to respect Jeff’s opinion, alot. He might not want to hear that; but the guy has chops when it comes to writing.
Anyhow, a bit of nitpicking here:
Just watched the debate. Not sure why people are saying Romney won so convincingly. Obama, with few exceptions, bullshitted his way through things just fine. And Romney too often sounded like a me-too statist.
Objectively, Romney won on the points and particulars, and he had several strong moments. Clearly, he’s not the leftist Obama is — though he’s still a statist. That’s a net positive, should he win election.
via First debate reactions: non-live viewer | protein wisdom.
My comments on the “statist” bit. If Jeff is referring to the, “Let’s save and/or shore up Social Security and Medicare” sort of a Statist; then yes, I would say, yes, Romney is one of those. But then again, so is the entire GOP. Because hell, a good 75 percent of their base is in that category. Now if Jeff is referring to the “Government and Private Industry Partnerships” type of a statist, I believe he would be wrong about that.
Although, I would like to see Romney’s position on Government subsidies to corporate farms and oil companies. Personally, I believe those have to go, as they put small time farmers under the gun and create an unfair environment for them. As for the oil companies, they make enough money; why should they get handouts from the Government? But that is just my populist roots, intertwined with my libertarianism shining through. I am all for capitalism, but I am not for Government picking winners and losers in the business industry at all.
On a related matter; Last night I happened to notice someone praising Romney’s performance —- Patrick J. Buchanan. I nearly fell out of my chair, when I saw him singing the praises of Romney’s performance. This is the same Patrick J. Buchanan that believes that the “Neoconservatives’ are the redheaded stepchildren of the Republican Party and the Conservative movement. To be fair, Pat’s sister Bay Buchanan is on Romney’s team, so that *might* have something to do with it. Although, you most likely could not prove it in court.
You have to know Willard’s on to something, when Bill Kristol AND Pat Buchanan are BOTH saying that Romney spanked Obama’s butt and won the debate. If those two polar opposites in Republicanism and Conservatism agree; Romney is definitely onto something and here is hoping that he does keep it up.

Chicago NAACP official threatened by Obama campaign staffer
This is quite interesting.
Via CBS Chicago:
David Lowery says he believes he was threatened during a phone conversation with Louis Raymond, the Illinois political director for Obama for America.
Lowery says he doesn’t personally support the president because he’s not addressing issues important to the black community. He said he was explaining that to Raymond when the Obama campaign official told him, “You know what? I know everything about you.”
Lowery says Raymond added, “We’ve been watching you, and since you don’t support Obama, we’ll deal with you,” before hanging up.
Lowery filed a report with the Oak Forest police report, he says, “in case something happens.”
If there is any sort of integrity in the Obama campaign, this staffer would be fired post haste. Could you just imagine the media press reaction, if a Romney staffer had said something like this to a media person; like Fox News?
This looks like a campaign crack up to me.
Race-Hustling is all the Democratic Party has anymore
I was looking at some of the incoming links to my old blog and I happened to notice something; some race-hustling tool linked to my blog.
What I am referring to is this article here, where some guy named Terrance Heath posting over on some liberal activist website; goes out of way to mention something that I did a long while back.
Some things that I feel the need to point out:
- I lost my cool during the vote for Obamacare, I admit that, I wish I had never tweeted what I wrote. But I did and I pulled the tweet, and the blog posting that I wrote and apologized many times over for what I wrote.
- Joseph Cao lost his reelection bid. Not because the Democrat running against him was anything really special. But because Joseph Cao put identity politics and race before his Conservative principles and because of that, Conservatives did not vote for him.
But, not of that matters; what matters to the Liberal Democrats is someone, namely me, in an unguarded moment and moment of anger, wrote something rather uncomely about a minority Republican, who pissed his Conservative principles, if he even really had any in the first place, into the wind and paid the political price for it too.
Which proves what I have believed here for a while now; the left has nothing anymore. The President they elected was a total and unmitigated flop. The policies that Obama promised failed and just last night, he got his tail kicked in a debate that exposed him for the two-bit fake that he really is.
I end this, with this thought here: I regret my actions of long ago. Now, do the Democrats regret that actually elected this buffoon of a President? Inquiring minds want to know.
Videos: Clips from last night’s President Debate
As I told you, I did not watch the entire debate last night.
But, clips are coming out…..and boy are they good. Romney looked Presidential, even Reagan-like. No wonder Chris Matthews was losing his mind! Not only did Romney destroy Obama’s talking points, he spiked the football in the Democratic Party end zone! 😯
Here are some of the clips —- so far:
Here is Romney on Government picking winners and losers: (H/T HotAir)
On the Role of Government:
Here is Obama defending ObamaCare and the IPAB:
If I come across more, I’ll share them here, but so far, Romney’s got this sewn up. Judging by the snap polls and the reaction of the left; Obama does not stand a chance to win at all.
Stay tuned for updates.
Reuters: Private Sector adds 162,000 new jobs
An interesting report from Reuters:
(Reuters) – Private employers added 162,000 jobs in September, topping economists’ expectations, a report by a payrolls processor showed on Wednesday.
Economists surveyed by Reuters had forecast the ADP National Employment Report would show a gain of 143,000 jobs.
August’s private payrolls were revised down to an increase of 189,000 from the previously reported 201,000.
If the best that the economists are shooting for is 150-160K jobs per month; that is setting the bar awful low.
What happened to all the jobs that were supposed to be created by the President’s stimulus program? I thought that when a Democrat was elected into the White House that all of the World’s problems would end for everyone? That the oceans would rise and the World would come together as one?
I guess not. 🙄
Anyone that votes for this President again, is a dad-blasted idiot. I mean, what the hell has he honestly done for the unemployed in this Country? I mean, the only people who have made out like bandits, and I do mean quite literally there; are the damned unions and special interest groups. (READ: Minorities, Green Energy and the like…)
It is a damned disgrace; which is why I am casting my lot with Romney. Neoconservative or not, I am voting for him. Because we can do better than this nimrod who is in there now.
Hope and Change, my fat white ass! 😡
