Saturday, President Obama held a rally in Milwaukee at the 5,000 seat BMO Harris Pavillion. You wouldn't know that if you read any national stories on this, as Politico and the Wall Street Journal all reported a crowd of 18,000. As the video shows, there's no way 18,000 people are there, even if every seat was filled and the standing area (which can accomodate another 5,000) was filled, there…
On Sunday's State of the Union, Candy Crowley softballed Democratic spokesman Dick Durbin about the election while continuing to repeat the "Romney has no chance" mantra. When Republican Senator Lindsey Graham dared to point out historical data that undecided voters usually swing against incumbents. Crowley interrupted the Senator with an incredulous "Really?" Yes, Candy, really. Obama's up by…
On CNN's Piers Morgan, former Speaker Newt Gingrich bashed the media for overcovering and "oohing and ahing" over the DNC and overcovering Romney's fundraiser comments while ignoring Obama's ignorance on the national debt. I suppose Speaker Gingrich should be pleased, no one has any thrills going up their legs this time.
When pressed on today's Morning Joe, Obama Senior Advisor David Axelrod simply responded "This is not the time" when asked for President Obama's plan on Social Security. I suppose it's better than the initial Obama motto on Social Security "Take that, young workers!!" If you want to help stay entertained while watching this clip, count how many times Axelrod says "Um." I counted 10.
On The Situation Group, CNN anchors Wolf Blitzer and Howard Kurtz admitted that the media has been unfairly piling on Mitt Romney and declaring the election over. Kurtz said that the media was building a narrative of Romney defeat "Whether it's true or not" and both agreed that the media was too poll-driven and Romney could come back.
On 60 Minutes last night, President Obama claimed that the federal
government has grown at the smallest pace since the Eisenhower Administration
under his leadership. Unfortunately, analysis of federal spending numbers
provided by the White House proves otherwise. I've attached my table of average
federal spending as a percentage of GDP for Presidents Reagan through Obama.
Federal Spending as…
On Friday, GOP strategist Mary Matalin hit back against attacks on Mitt Romney's tax record. Matalin pointed out that Harry Reid lied about Romney's tax returns and skewered James Carville for attacking Romney for having the audacity to pay more in taxes than he had to. As we all know, charity is the first sign of evil.
In a segment on
Republican donor Sheldon Adelson, MSNBC's Mika Brzezinski couldn't
contain her venom for the donor. Calling his donations "gross" and
openly wondering why her fellow hosts were not as disgusted with the notion of
free speech as she is.
MSNBC's Morning Joe hyped a Politico/GWU poll
showing a 3 point lead for President Obama and continued to beat its endless
“The election is over drum.” Quite shockingly, MSNBC ignored the good news for
Romney. The analysis of Politico's Republican pollster that Obama's lead had
only grown by .5% since August, there are still enough undecided votes for
Romney to win (sentiment that was echoed by…
On MSNBC, host Alex Wagner displayed her latest attempt to reference what the cool kids are saying nowadays by happily describing an Obama rally speech as "Swaggerific."
