In a video obtained exclusively by The Daily Caller, then-presidential candidate Barack Obama tells an audience of black ministers, including the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, that the U.S. government shortchanged Hurricane Katrina victims because of racism. “The people down in New Orleans they don’t care about as much!” Obama shouts in the video, which was shot in June of 2007 at Hampton University in Virginia. By contrast, survivors of Sept. 11 and Hurricane Andrew received generous amounts of aid, Obama explains. The reason? Unlike residents of majority-black New Orleans, the federal government considers those victims “part of the American family.” The racially charged and at times angry speech undermines Obama’s carefully-crafted image as a leader eager to build bridges between ethnic groups. For nearly 40 minutes, using an accent he almost never adopts in public, Obama describes a racist, zero-sum society, in which the white majority profits by exploiting black America. The mostly black audience shouts in agreement. The effect is closer to an Al Sharpton rally than a conventional campaign event.

90% of US Households Face Huge Tax Hike Next Year
On November 7th, while cleaning crews are still tidying up from election night parties, America's political class will be hurling themselves into another essential battle over government spending, taxes and debt. On January 2nd, 2013, absent some kind of budget deal, America will fall off the "fiscal cliff" and face a massive tax increase and across the board cuts in government spending. Like most crisis these days, it's a creation of politicians.  An average middle-class household — making between around $40,000 to $65,000 — would see an almost $2,000 tax hike next year, while those making under $20,000 a year would see their bill rise by an average of just over $400. Both groups would see their after-tax income drop by around four percent.

They Want You to Think the Election is Over
Some shocking news in the Drive-By Media today. The election is over. Mitt Romney has lost. It’s all over out there. Actually, that’s not the case. The polls today are starting to tighten up exactly as predicted here. Now we’re into October. The debate is Wednesday night. Have you noticed what’s going on with this? The DNC and Howard Dean and a number of others… Even Obama himself is saying, “Mitt’s a much better debater than I am.”   They’re really out there lowering expectations for Obama in the debate on Wednesday night, and he’s got a tough task. I mean, the guy can do nothing but lie, which is what he does anyway. It’s gonna be fascinating to me to see how Romney deals with that. Yeah, AP says that Obama has 271 electoral votes today. So I don’t know why they’re gonna do the debate. First, second, or third. Why are they gonna mess with it?

Bernanke defends QE3, tells Congress to butt out of the Fed
The chairman cautioned Congress against adopting a law that would allow it to review the Fed’s interest-rate policy discussions. The House has passed legislation to give Congress’ investigative arm broader authority to audit the Fed, including reviewing its interest-rate policymaking. The Senate hasn’t adopted the bill. Bernanke warned that such a step would improperly inject political pressure into the Fed’s private deliberations and make officials less likely to act. Just the behavior one would expect out of such a powerful group that is not part of the government, but has huge impact on your financial wellbeing.

Muslims Murder Our Troops and Pathetic Pentagon Blames Us By PAUL SPERRY
Afghan security forces, our supposed allies, are slaughtering American troops. Thirty-three soldiers have been killed by “green on blue” attacks this year alone. The situation is so bad that the training of Afghan forces has been temporarily suspended. How has the Pentagon responded? By blaming our troops. Top officials believe culturally offensive behavior is the motivation behind the killings, so it’s stepped up Islamic sensitivity training for our troops. If you don’t want to be shot in the back by your Afghan training partners, the Pentagon advises, don’t offend their religious sensibilities. Folks, you cannot make this stuff up!

NY Jets owner: I’d rather Romney win – than the Jets!
Jets owner Woody Johnson, in a Monday appearance on Bloomberg Television’s Market Makers, addressed whether he prefers a win by Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney or a winning season from Johnson’s Jets. “Well I think you always have to put country first, so I think it’s very, very important that not only for us but for particularly our kids and grandkids that this election comes off with Mitt Romney and [Paul] Ryan as president and vice-president,” Johnson said.  Nice to hear a powerful person speaking the hard truth and willing to accept the consequences!

Obama Plants Roots Of Communism In White House Through Advisors by Leon Puissegur
It is not just about Obama...it is about the many radicals that he has place in key positions throughout his administration!
We begin with Valerie Jarrett, as we had described some of her background before. In a recent article in World News Direct called, “Communist disinformation, American-style Shocking revolutionary roots not just of Obama, but top advisers Jarrett and Axelrod too” by Paul Kengor.  We discover that David Axelrod’s mother, had ties to the Communist Party and that David Axelrod had begun his political movement at the young age of 13 when he sold Campaign and bumper stickers promoting Robert Kennedy for President. David Axelrod then went on to earn his B.A. in political studies at Chicago University. In 1982, he had his first contact with a man named Don Rose whom was a founder of the pro-communist Hyde Park Voices. All we have to do is look at some of Obama’s own words to see just where he is going and what he has been taught by those he surrounds himself with. Let us not forget that he placed a very well known Communist, Van Jones into his group at the White House and only got rid of him after nearly all Obama’s associates could not take any more heat about having a very well known Communist sitting in on meetings at the White House. Now in November, “we the people” must decide if we wish to carry on with a man whom shuns our nation in favor of our enemies or get rid of this devil before he totally destroys our nation. It is up to us and if we allow Obama to get back in office, this may well be the last free election and the end of the United States, as we know it!

Top U.S. Commander in Afghanistan: We’re Willing to Fight – But ‘Not Willing to Be Murdered'  By Susan Jones
Gen. John Allen, the top U.S. commander in Afghanistan, says he's "mad as hell" about the increasing number of insider attacks, in which Afghan soldiers and police murder the Americans who are trying to train them. "You know, we're willing to sacrifice a lot for this campaign. But we're not willing to be murdered for it," Gen. Allen told CBS' "60 Minutes" in a segment that aired on Sunday. Gen. Allen told CBS Correspondent Lara Logan that the insider attacks will continue: "The enemy recognizes this is a vulnerability. You know, in Iraq, the signature weapon system that we hadn't seen before was the IED. We had to adjust to that. Here, I think the signature attack that we're beginning to see the -- is going to be the insider attack." Allen also said "the vast majority” of Afghans are "with us in this." He noted that a number of Afghans have been killed trying to save NATO forces from rogue Afghans. A Taliban commander -- described as a specialist in suicide bombings who was trained by al Qaeda -- also spoke to "60 Minutes," telling Lara Logan that the Taliban is behind the insider attacks: "These are Taliban attacks," the unnamed man said. "This is part of our new military strategy. We have our people in the Afghan police and the army. And the orders come from the top."

Ryan: Obama running on division, distraction and distortion
Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney will argue in the first debate that President Obama has taken the nation in the wrong direction and the GOP is offering the best choice for voters, Paul Ryan said in an interview on Fox News Sunday.  This election is about “stagnation versus growth, dependency versus opportunity and upward mobility. That’s the classic choice, the difference we’re offering and we hope what people get out of that debate is that choice,” Ryan said. The Wednesday debate will showcase “who is Mitt Romney, what kind of president will he be and what choice do I have,” he said.

Central Bank Narrative Grinds On via AP
Ben Bernanke makes strong defense of Federal Reserve's rate policies ... Chairman Ben Bernanke offered a wide-ranging defense of the Federal Reserve's aggressive policies to stimulate the still-weak economy. The Fed needs to drive down long-term borrowing rates because the economy isn't growing fast enough to reduce high unemployment, Bernanke said in a speech to the Economic Club of Indiana. The unemployment rate is 8.1 per cent. Low rates could also help shrink the federal budget deficit by easing the government's borrowing costs and generating tax revenue from stronger growth, Bernanke argued. – AP  We cover elite promotions that support expansive government, and no single such meme is more important than the necessity for central banking. It is central banking that evidently and obviously funds the push toward world government. The same never-mentioned elites (in the mainstream press, anyway) who control central banking via the centralized Bank for International Settlements have used the astounding volume of Money Power to build a global governmental infrastructure. At the beginning of the 20th century there were very few central banks. Now there are 150 plus the Bank for International Settlements. This story from AP, one of the central mechanisms of elite media control, illustrates once again how the central banking meme works. The article is devoid of any significant frame of reference. It simply reports Ben Bernanke's point of view without referencing what many economists believe to be true – even Keynesian ones – that absurdly low interest rates create bubbles.

Washington Post‘s Fact Checker Debunks Obama’s Latest Bush-Blaming Ad  by Becket Adams
At the root of the Fact Checker article is President Obama‘s claim that Mitt Romney’s support for “bigger tax cuts for the wealthy” and “fewer regulations on Wall Street” will take us back to the “same trickle-down policies that led to the crisis in the first place.” As the WaPo’s Glenn Kessler notes, the name “George W. Bush“ is never mentioned ”but is certainly implied,” meaning the president is more or less trying to paint Romney as another Bush. But let‘s put aside the specifics of Romney’s tax plan (what little there are) and his stance on Wall Street reform and focus on the notion that tax cuts and deregulation caused the Great Recession.  Did the Bush-era tax cuts lead to the meltdown? To put it bluntly, there is nothing to support this claim.  Indeed, Ezra Klein, the sole source cited by the Obama campaign on this statement, is quoted as saying “I am absolutely not saying the Bush tax cuts led to the financial crisis. To my knowledge, there’s no evidence of that.” “Klein is right. While some on the left have speculated about some kind of Rube Goldberg phenomenon — that the tax cuts put so much money in the pockets of the rich that they had nothing to spend it on but risky and exotic financial instruments — we are unaware of any respected academic study making this link,” Kessler writes.

“The Bush tax cuts have been amply criticized for costing too much and generating too little economic growth, but that’s entirely different from causing the Great Recession,” he adds.  And as for President Obama implying Bush-era deregulation led to the financial crisis, Kessler points out that the 631-page final report of the National Commission on the Causes of the Financial and Economic Crisis in the United States notes deregulation may have played a role in the meltdown — but it was about three decades’ worth.  In response to critics who argue the Great Recession wasn’t caused by just Bush-era tax cuts and “deregulation,” the Obama campaign claims the president was saying all of Bush’s policies created the crisis. However, even if that were true, it’s certainly not clear in the video.  “Obama mentions only two things: tax cuts and deregulation,” Kessler notes. “He then adds that such ‘trickle-down policies’ led to the crisis — and ‘trickle down’ is Democratic pejorative for ‘tax cuts for the rich.’”

So what’s the final verdict?
“It is time for the Obama campaign to retire this talking point, no matter how much it seems to resonate with voters. The financial crisis of 2008 stemmed from a variety of complex factors, in particular the bubble in housing prices and the rise of exotic financial instruments,” Kessler writes.
“Deregulation was certainly an important factor, but as the government commission concluded, the blame for that lies across administrations, not just in the last Republican one,” he adds.
He continues:  In any case, the Bush tax cuts belong at the bottom of the list — if at all. Moreover, it is rather strange for the campaign to cite as its source an article that, according to the author, does not support this assertion.  We nearly made this Four Pinocchios but ultimately decided that citing deregulation in conjunction with tax cuts kept this line out of the “whopper” category. Still, in his effort to portray Romney as an echo of Bush, the president really stretches the limits here.

Survey: Doctors Support Romney Over Obama 55 to 36%
Among doctors more likely to support President Obama were women as well as physicians employed by hospitals and health systems. Specialists, primarily psychiatrists, pediatricians and addiction medicine physicians also were more likely to support Obama. Male doctors and those with their own practice or who had a stake in their own practice as well as anesthesiologists, surgeons, radiologists and ophthalmologists were more likely to support Romney. The President’s support has waned among physicians since 2008 when he drew 40 percent of their vote compared to 44 percent for John McCain. Turnout among physicians is also likely to increase compared to 2008, as eight percent reported they didn’t vote in 2008, yet only 1 percent of doctors said they would not cast a ballot in the November Presidential election. “Doctors are highly motivated this year to have their voice heard, particularly after passage of the Affordable Care Act,” said Sandy Garrett, president of Jackson & Coker. “No doubt, the health care law has stirred many passions in the medical community.”  When asked how they felt about the Affordable Care Act, 55 percent said “repeal and replace” the new law while 40 percent said “implement and improve” the ACA.
