Many in the Old Media establishment today are praising Obama for keeping politics out of his administrative duties concerning Hurricane Sandy, but he didn’t leave politics entirely out of it during his FEMA briefing, that’s for sure.
The President has made a big show out of suspending his political campaign as Hurricane Sandy bears down on the east coast of the country. Obama has canceled his campaign appearances in order to stay in D.C. and he’s been all over the airwaves with his grave pronouncements and his directives.
But he didn’t leave campaign mode entirely as evidence by the White House pushing O’s campaign slogan, “forward,” into a press release on the storm.
“The president made clear that he expects his team to remain focused as the immediate impacts of Hurricane Sandy continue and lean forward in their response,” the White House said in a statement about Mr. Obama’s video-teleconference that he conducted from the White House Situation Room.
As I am sure you all know, “forward” is the slogan of the President’s re-election campaign.

Obama has for the most part stayed away from the subject of global warming during his campaign for re-election. The President has only infrequently broached the subject on the campaign trail, but on Friday, October 26, in an interview with MTV, 
David Axelrod has been Obama’s closest political adviser since those early days in Chicago and he can usually be relied on to be the last Obamaite to sound a sour note about Obama’s prospects. But a recent 
On October 25, MSNBC’s Ed Schultz proved himself gullible enough to fall for the false story that Mitt Romney’s son Tagg owns voting machines in Ohio and that he is somehow making sure that the vote in that important swing state goes the right way. Schultz may want to check his real estate portfolio to make sure he didn’t buy any Brooklyn Bridges of late.
In keeping with the “Mittmentum” that we are seeing in many states and swing states across the country, New Hampshire is for the first time looking more like a lovely purple color tinged heavily in red with polls showing Mitt Romney topping President Obama there for the first time.
President Obama has lately been touting the amazing claim that he’s created 5.2 million new jobs as President. His fantastic claim is featured in a new TV. But FactCheck.org says, not so fast. Those claims are “

The Old Media establishment seems to be getting worried about Barack Obama’s reelection campaign. They see Romney surging and they are beginning to think that there may be no stopping him. So, lots of advice is being offered to the Democrats to help them come back from this tailspin. National Journal is only the latest to do so.
Us Magazine had a little tidbit of gossip to blather about when it discovered who made Ann Romney’s and Michelle Obama’s hot pink dresses that each wore to the recent presidential debate. In its headline Us blares that Ann Romney’s dress cost “$1,690.” But Michelle Obama’s ensemble was priced at $3,290 despite the silence of the headline.
The idea that President Barack Obama’s re-election campaign is in some trouble is dawning on many in the Old Media, these days. The latest to notice that Obama has found some unexpected obstacles — mostly troubles of his own making — on the road back to the White House is the oft times left-leaning National Journal.

George Will made a relatively quixotic proclamation immediately after the second presidential debate held at Hofstra University in New York. First of all, he thought the debate was “immeasurably the best” in American presidential debate history. Just as quixotically, Will declared Obama the big winner of the night.
With the focus on the horrible job of “moderating” perpetrated by CNN’s Candy Crowley at the latest 2012 presidential debate, it is instructive to take a look back at some of her past work for CNN. For instance, in a 2010 interview with former President George W. Bush, Crowley dismissed Bush’s correct assertion that women are horribly oppressed by the Taliban in Afghanistan and Pakistan.

Vice President Joe Biden has done it again, unleashed an outright lie on the campaign trail. This time Joe told an audience at the University of Wisconsin-LaCrosse that the abortion provider Planned Parenthood was prevented by law to perform abortions. And yet, Planned Parenthood itself has claimed it committed 985,731 abortions in just the last three years alone.
