Isn't this whole scene pretty standard for President Obama? The Europeans get a handshake and the Islamist Turkish prime minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan gets a hug. And all the president seems to have in mind is campaign politics and his reelection effort.

Why do you appear to be so thrilled by an elderly gentleman getting tar and feathered, then hung by a bunch of young white liberals in the press and on TV?

I have no idea if he is guilty or not, but I do KNOW that the guy does not deserve this public lynching after Clinton, Rev Jackson, and Barney Frank, and others .

IMO, it's a shame.

Besides, how is this going to help Obama, which is your ONLY concern?

I think a good number of Black voters are going to be deeply troubled by this.

Networks Hit Cain Story 50 Times in Less Than Four Days; Ignored Clinton Scandals

Over a period of just three and a half days, NBC, CBS and ABC have developed an insatiable hunger for the Herman Cain sexual harassment story, devoting an incredible 50 stories to the allegations since Monday morning. In contrast, over a similar period these networks mostly ignored far more substantial and serious scandals relating to Bill Clinton. This pattern continued on Wednesday night and into Thursday as the evening newscasts and morning shows highlighted the story 19 times. On Good Morning America, Brian Ross offered innuendo and slung gossip, recounting, "But behind the scenes, several of the campaigns are still urging reporters to continue to dig, George, saying, there's more to be found in the private life of Herman Cain.

ken...IMO. ther are only 2 ways in which hussein obama ca remain as ruler of the USA....1) if there are enough dumbed down lid educated zonbie types such as yourself to vote this guy back in as ruler...

2)If hussein obama's private armies..union thugs, liberal educated young people,commies, illegals etc.etc...can cause enough riots so that hussein obama can declare marshal law and call off election and remain ruler for an indefinite period of time...course this option would require the military to back up obama..

Far fetched huh kenny? never in America right kenny?

Ohio approves Americans Elect effort for 2012 ballot

WASHINGTON — Americans Elect, a nonprofit group that has set out this year to secure a spot on the ballot in all 50 states for an alternative to the Democratic and Republican presidential tickets, has gathered 1.9 million signatures from individuals who support the idea.

The group announced Wednesday that it has qualified for the Ohio ballot and is awaiting certification in California, Utah, Hawaii and Arkansas. It has already gained ballot access in three other key swing states - Florida, Michigan and Nevada - as well as Arizona, Alaska and Kansas.

"The American people are dissatisfied with the two-party system and the limited choice it offers," Chief Operating Officer Elliot Ackerman said Wednesday at a news conference at the National Press Club.

Ackerman's father, private investment executive Peter Ackerman, is one of the main financial backers of the effort. He also participated in a similar project four years ago.

The group has come under fire for its status as a nonprofit social welfare organization, which allows it to keep the names of its donors secret. The Tribune Washington Bureau reported in July that the group had raised $20 million from between 300 and 400 donors, with no contribution exceeding $5 million.

In late September, campaign finance watchdog groups Democracy 21 and the Campaign Legal Center sent a letter to the IRS asking that the service investigate Americans Elect and three other groups claiming social welfare status.

Fred Wertheimer, president of Democracy 21, raised the issue again on Wednesday as Americans Elect was trumpeting its successes at the National Press Club.

"A political party is not entitled to be treated as a 'social welfare' organization under federal tax laws and is required to disclose its donors. Period," Wertheimer said. "The idea that a political party - whose whole purpose is to nominate and elect candidates for office - can also be a 'social welfare' organization for tax purposes is an oxymoron."

Americans Elect has argued that because the group is not actively promoting any political party or candidate, it can claim a 'social welfare' purpose.

"Consistent with the requirements for tax-exempt status under the law, Americans Elect does not and will not support or oppose any candidate or candidate committee - it simply provides the nominating process where the American people can participate directly," Daniel B. Winslow, the group's chief legal counsel, said in response to the IRS letter. "As a social service organization dedicated to providing a civic space for the American people, we are confident that Americans Elect is in full compliance with all legal requirements."

The group plans to hold a Web-based national convention in June, through which participants will nominate a presidential candidate. A vice presidential candidate will also be chosen, but the group's rules require that the candidates on the eventual ticket cannot share a party affiliation.

Only brain dead liberals would elect someone not even smart enough to buckle his seat belt while being driven over the speed limit by a state trooper.. Then when he is not re-elected they entrust this "genius" with billions of dollars of their assets. Okay, who has the 600 million?
