[h=2]The Nashville Tennessean, the traditionally liberal newspaper that gave Al Gore his start in journalism, endorsed Republican challenger Mitt Romney for President Thursday.[/h] It was another stunning setback for the Obama campaign, already reeling from plunging poll numbers.

Scott Brown is a bum. He is history anyway. Was supposed to be the deciding vote for Obama care to not pass the Senate.

So what does Barack do instead? Takes the nuclear option and passes it through reconciliation. No problem there though, eh vit?

In August, in posts #470 and #482 Vitterd says twice that he doesn't read this thread.

Since then he has at least 20 posts in here.

Pretty fitting considering the thread title isn't it?

70% of Chinese Say They Are Better Off Now than they were 4 years ago....Obama years have been a boon to China economically. Specifically, China has benefited from President Obama’s weakness on leveling the trade deficit and cracking down on Chinese currency manipulation.

[h=2]In September, the Obama campaign collected $2,199,204.38 in donations with non-existent or invalid ZIP codes. The Romney campaign’s September total: just $29,620.[/h] The revelation comes from a Government Accountability Institute (GAI) report to be issued tomorrow that combed the Federal Election Commission (FEC) data to determine the effectiveness of each campaign’s donation security system.
“The use of a robust Address Verification System (AVS) would significantly minimize donations with invalid zip codes from slipping through the net,” said GAI President Peter Schweizer. “When you use your credit card at a pay-at-the-pump gas station, you have to enter your zip code. Enter the wrong number or none at all, your transaction is denied. If that’s the standard to buy gas, surely it’s reasonable to expect the same for donating to federal candidates.”
Obama for America claims it does, in fact, use an AVS system to process its online donations, as well as a “manual process to review any transaction flagged by AVS.” But as e-commerce experts note, AVS systems have a range of settings that allow wide latitude in determining which transactions will be blocked or accepted.
Since February 2012, the Obama campaign has received a total of $2,983,854.78 in donations with invalid ZIP codes, versus the Romney campaign’s $244,287.01—a figure one-twelfth of Obama’s.
The GAI report also includes an analysis of the 2008 presidential campaign. There again, the Obama campaign collected far more donations with invalid ZIP codes than did Republican presidential challenger Sen. John McCain. The figures: $2,778,808.97 for Obama and $431,046 for McCain.
Earlier this month the GAI released its 108-page report, America The Vulnerable: Are Foreign and Fraudulent Online Campaign Contributions Influencing U.S. Elections?, which found that nearly half (47.3%) of the U.S. Congress have donation websites lacking basic anti-fraud protections that make them vulnerable to foreign and fraudulent online donations.
The GAI investigation also revealed that Obama.com is owned by an Obama bundler living in China with business ties to the Chinese government.

[h=1]Obama Doctrine: Benghazi Guards Never Taught How to Shoot Guns[/h]

[h=2]One of the members of the "Special Protection Unit" guarding the Benghazi consulate states that the unit had never been given shooting lessons.[/h] A 33-year-old individual referred to only has "Ali" was part of the February 17 Brigade's four-man team guarding the Benghazi consulate on Sept 11. He says he and his team members had received "light" and "theoretical" training inside the consulate from time to time, but never experience shooting firearms.
He says they occasionally received "practical lessons," but these lessons were never accompanied by the "practical training" that might have left them better prepared them to do what they were asked to do.
Ali and his fellow guards paint of a picture of being abandoned at their posts. They say that after the consulate was attacked in June 2012, they requested more weapons and body protection. Yet they say they never even received handguns "or the weapons [they] requested."
They weren't even provided helmets.
Ali said that when the Sept. 11 attack began, it was comprised of about 50 men who were unarmed, walking behind a handful of others who were armed. Two men in the front of the group carried RPGs.
The guards say the would-be attackers cased the consulate for a time, giving the impression that they were looking for a way to get inside. Then one of the attackers opened fire and the others began trying to scale the wall. Ali and his team returned fire and called for backup in both Arabic and English, yet he says neither the Americans nor the February 17 Brigade headquarters responded.
Ali said he could hear explosions in other portions of the compound, and he kept thinking the American personnel would emerge from one of the buildings and help him and his men. But the Americans and the Special Protection Unit, of which he was part, were overrun before that scenario could play out.
To be clear, Ali says that at one point during the attack a U.S. Marine did come to him. But the Marine was unarmed and seemed somewhat confused.
The bottom line -- Obama left the lives of four Americans in the hands of guards who hadn't been trained to shoot their guns.

[h=1]Report: Obama Campaign Accepts 16x More Donations via Erroneous Zip Codes than Romney[/h]

[h=2]President Barack Obama's campaign accepted 16 times more in donations that listed invalid zip codes than Mitt Romney's campaign, a report by the Government Accountability Institute (GAI) found, further exposing the Obama campaign's lax online security measures that make the campaign vulnerable to fraudulent online donations.[/h] GAI, a non-partisan investigative and research watchdog group, announced its findings on Tuesday in a follow-up to their report that detailed how campaigns on both sides of the aisle are vulnerable to illicit foreign and domestic donations. The study found nearly half (47.3%) of the "U.S. Congress have donation websites lacking basic anti-fraud protections that make them vulnerable to foreign and fraudulent online donations."
GAI analyzed Federal Election Commission (FEC) from the 2012 election cycle and found Obama's campaign has accepted $4,580,805.35 in campaign donations that list invalid zip codes—a figure 16 times greater than Romney’s campaign. The study found that Gov. Romney’s 2012 FEC data include $282,814.78 in donations that have invalid zip codes. The Obama campaign curiously pays more in fees to turn off the "CVV" security feature that requires those donating online to enter the three or four digit number on the back of the credit card. In addition, while the campaign claims use the Address Verification System (AVS) security check, the number of donations with invalid zip codes that the campaign has accepted proves the campaign uses one of the weakest AVS systems online.
GAI President Peter Schweizer explains, "the use of a robust Address Verification System would significantly minimize donations with invalid zip codes from slipping through the net."
“When you use your credit card at a pay-at-the-pump gas station, you have to enter your zip code. Enter the wrong number or none at all, your transaction is denied," Schweizer remarked. "If that’s the standard to buy gas, surely it’s reasonable to expect the same for donating to federal candidates.”

GAI analyzed the 2008 presidential campaign and found a similar pattern, with then-Sen. Obama receiving $2,778,808.97 in donations with invalid zip codes, compared to Sen. John McCain’s $431,046.
The Obama campaign could have accepted more donations since GAI only could analyze donations that were reported, which means they had to be over $200. Since campaigns do not need to report donations under $200, the Obama campaign could have accepted millions of more in donations from those with invalid zip codes which the campaign was not obligated to report.
This weekend, The New York Post reported on a British citizen living in England who contributed two $5 donations to the Obama campaign. And while the Romney campaign rejected his attempts at making the same donations, the Obama campaign accepted his donation even though "used his actual street address in England but entered Arkansas as his state with the Schenectady, NY, ZIP code of 12345."
If the Obama campaign has used a stricter AVS or had the CVV requirement, as Romney's campaign requires, Walker's donation would have been rejected.
“When I did Romney’s, the payment got rejected on the grounds that the address on the card did not match the address that I entered,” Walker told the Post. “Romney’s web site wanted the code from the back of card. Barack Obama’s didn’t.”
GAI also released its raw data collected for its report on internet fundraising on www.CampaignFundingRisks.com.
