not for obama? how astute of you to figure that out, kurt! next time anyone makes an obvious slip of the tongue, i'll be sure to check with you for confirmation.

maybe he really is. His inner thoughts came out. He knows Romney is a liar and will destroy this country.

Is that like Biden when he was in Marion, Iowa and kept saying he was in Marion, Ohio? Biden is so confused he dosen't even know where he is!

Joe,
Despite the Ambassador's family pleading that his death not be politicized, you are doing so. Shame on you! You take after Mitt, who distributed a press release on the Libya incident while the consulate was still burning. Disgusting!

Thanks, Joe. This link will take you to our full election coverage. http://ames.patch.com/elections-2

Tired of the whole Benghazi thing and excuses for Bush's failure to keep our nation safe. President Obama has a slew of staff who are SUPPOSE to keep him aprised! He stated in the 2nd Debate, although, Hillary Clinton took the blame, that HE WAS COMMANDER IN CHIEF and he accepts ALL responsibility. He went on to explain he would not stop until he found out who and why the ball was dropped. And to make a statement in the Rose Garden "act of terror" doesn't not have the same meaning "act of terrorism". Look it up in the dictionary, terror relates to any situation where someone is threatened and endangered.

Mitt does nothing but lie. He is for something when talking to one group and against it talking to another. Oh, and Benghazi? well the presedent and the cia still isn't sure who did it. Four different groups claim they are responsible. Don't blame the president for not jumping the gun and giving the wrong group credit, like Mitt the mouth did.

Remember what happened in April 1983?, when a van loaded with a bomb exploded in front of the U.S. Embassy and killed 46, including 16 Americans.

. You Neo-cons keep bashing Obama for the Embassy but, have you forgotten what happened in Beirut on Oct. 23rd, 1983?
A van loaded with explosives killed 241 service members, including 220 Marines in their barracks — the Corps' bloodiest day since Iwo Jima. It would drive the U.S. out of Lebanon and lead people, including al-Qaeda founder Osama bin Laden, to conclude that when America gets its nose bloodied, it pulls back.
The blast lifted the building as much as a foot off the ground. Then the floors pancaked down, killing many of those inside.
The truck shattered the Marines' building with a bomb more powerful than 12,000 pounds of TNT — the biggest non-nuclear explosion since World War II. The van passed between two sentry posts. Not even one Marine got off a single shot at the van, ........why?, because their guns were ordered not to be loaded. hummmm? Our President at the time said and I quote " the United States would never back down from terrorists " unquote.
And what did our fearless leader do to bring these Terrorist to justice that killed our Embassy members and our Marines?, 2 months latter he withdrew the Marines from Lebanon.
Who is this mystery man of who I speak? our 40th President, Ronald Wilson Reagan.

@gail: time to get a better dictionary. in google distionary, 'terror' has more than one sense:

ter·ror Noun /ˈterər/
1. Extreme fear
- people fled in terror
- a terror of darkness
2. The use of such fear to intimidate people, esp. for political reasons
- weapons of terror
3. A person or thing that causes extreme fear
- his unyielding scowl became the terror of the Chicago mob
4. The period of the French Revolution between mid 1793 and July 1794 when the ruling Jacobin faction, dominated by Robespierre, ruthlessly executed anyone considered a threat to their regime
5. A person, esp. a child, who causes trouble or annoyance
- placid and obedient in their parents' presence, but holy terrors when left alone

the prez used sense #2.

terrorism consists of acts of terror. if he had said 'act of terrorism' as you suggest, he would have been saying 'act of acts of terror'. why would he want to say something so redundant?

the ambassador, made the call on the trip to Benghazi, if thought it was unsafe, he could have called off the trip. As for lack of security, thank the repubs, for cutting the funding to the state department, this had a direct impact on our security at all embassy s

I didn't think so !

Drinking the Fox cool-aid again?

Maxine, you must be from another planet. Romney is a liar, he sends his money to the islands so he doesn't pay his fair share and you think that is okay. He could careless about the 47% which I am sure you are part of. If Romney &Ryan govern us, we will be destroyed. Wake up vote Obama-Biden 2012

wanting high-income people to pay higher taxes is not socialism, joe. or did i misunderstand you?

maxine, do you make $57K per day? no? then why is your tax rate higher than romney's? (assuming you work, of course.)

And he feels that is perfectly fair and right: after all that is how jobs are created; only no jobs were created. If he wnts to gamble with his money, fair enough; but he shouldn't get a lower tax rate for it, especially since he never seems to loose his bets.

"Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery." ~Winston Churchill
Therefore, the democrats, obama and his minions, liberal bloggers and so on all fall under this evil spell of self delusion.

but, joe, churchill said 'the equal sharing of misery' is a 'virtue'. if churchill called it a virtue, why aren't you for it?

btw, democrats are not socialists. senator bernie sanders is a socialist. he's not a democrat.

joe dygas: If Obama is a socialist, than every president, before him is a socialist. PS if socialism is a failure, don't tell my Canadian neighbors who spend the winters here in Arizona, in their $ 300,000 vacation homes

Kathleen.. not in this lifetime! You know there is nothing wrong with Romney putting his money in off shore accounts. If you made the kind of money he does you would keep it where the taxes are lower so you could keep more it and if you didn't then you would be an idiot. And BTW maybe you should wake up and prepare yourself for a Romney/Ryan win!

Sorry Anatole Pushkin...Americans that were duped in 2008 are leading to a Romney/ Ryan landslide.

Not in your wildest dreams!

i wish i had your confidence, AP. unfortunately, the stupidity of one's opponent does not guarantee victory. turnout will determine the outcome of this election.

NOT!

maxine, you say 'we all got bamboozled in 2008'. does that mean you actually voted for obama?

David...Uh no I sure did not vote for Obama in 2008. I guess I should have said it differently like "they" all go t bamboozeled. But I will admitt that I did watch all the debates and I was impressed with his speaking qualities, but I never ever thought about voting for him. Now I know he was chosen because he could articulate well and because he was a smoothe talker and an excellant liar.

No one in this lieftime will ever convience me that Obama is anything but a socialist.

u both wrong. most liberals not socialists, if any. same for democrats. senator bernie sanders only socialist in congress, far as i know. he usually votes with dems because his opinions closer to theirs than to GOP. but he's no dem.

+2 Joe

Ursula, I guess you did not get the definition of socialism aka the democratic party platform. So, to bring you up to speed here...the following explains it clearly.
""Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery." ~Winston Churchill
amen

ursulasaulie...Read Joe Dygas comment below...It describes Obama to a tee...failure,ignorance, envy and misery...yep that is obama.

I'm not at all surprised by the Register's endorsement (they are owned by Gannett, you know), nor am I surprised at the Gazette's endorsement. Newspapers are not in the business of reporting "news" anymore. They are purely business entities concerned with gaining profit through advertising dollars. I should know...I worked at various newspapers throughout my 30-year career.

I have to admitt that I was so stoked about having Romney be President, and of course he isn't that I never for one second that Obama would actually win another term. It makes me sick to think about it but I just have to deal with it I guess. Even though he can't serve another term, I hope everyone can come together next time to make sure the dems don't win again.

Joe, I think Obama suffers from a huge, over inflated ego and thinks his only job is to parade around and lie to the public.

Judith, You are 100% correct. We can't trust the media anymore, not the news on tv, the newspapers, not anything. Money DOES talk, and its really sad because you can't believe anything they say anymore.
