Attack Watch, new Obama campaign site to â€˜fight smears,â€™ becomes laughing stock of conservatives
Washington Post, by Elizabeth Flock

As the 2012 presidential campaign heats up, President Obamaâ€™s campaign team has set up a new Web site, AttackWatch.com, to challenge negative statements about the president made by Republican presidential candidates and conservatives.

Obama for America national field director Jeremy Bird told ABC News that the siteâ€™s goal is to offer â€œresources to fight backâ€ against attacks. Mostly, that means fact checking statements from the likes of GOP presidential contenders Mitt Romney and Rick Perry and conservative commentator Glenn Beck and offering evidence to the contrary. The site is designed in bold red and black colors, and uses statements like â€œsupport the truthâ€ and â€œfight the smears.â€

The response to the site has been less than stellar.

On Twitter, where the Web site has an account to help Obama supporters submit evidence of â€œattacksâ€ on the president using the hashtag #attackwatch, nearly every tweet about the site â€” mostly from conservatives â€” has ridiculed it.

â€œThere's a new Twitter account making President Obama look like a creepy, authoritarian nutjob,â€ an Arizonan tweeted. â€œIn less than 24 hours, Attack Watch has become the biggest campaign joke in modern history,â€

Scandal mars Obama's wooing of Latin America
Reuters, by Andrew Cawthorne & Brian Ellsworth

CARTAGENA, Colombia (Reuters) - Latin America's militant opposition to the decades-old U.S. isolation of communist Cuba put more pressure on President Barack Obama at the Americas Summit on Sunday and threatened to sink a final declaration.

Seeking to woo a region whose trade could help create American jobs, Obama has instead had a bruising time at the two-day hemispheric bash attended by more than 30 heads of state in Colombia.

Sixteen U.S. security personnel were caught in an embarrassing prostitution scandal, Brazil and others have bashed Obama over monetary expansionism, and he has been on the defensive over calls to legalize drugs.

Above all, the prostitution saga was a major blow to the prestige of Obama's Secret Service bodyguards and turned into the unexpected talk of the town in historic Cartagena.

Obama's New Slogan:
Get My Back!
Breitbart's Big Government, by Ben Shapiro

President Obamaâ€™s new campaign pitch is that Americans should have his back. Heâ€™s released posters via his campaign for African Americans for Obama; campaign email after campaign email has asked Americans to get Obamaâ€™s back. The implication in all of this: Obama has your back, so you should have his.

Only Obama hasnâ€™t had our back. In fact, the last time Obama said he had someoneâ€™s back, he was talking about Israel â€“ and that was even as he was actively undermining the Jewish Stateâ€™s ability to hit Iranâ€™s nuclear facilities. Unemployment remains devastatingly high. Gas prices remain unsustainably elevated. Inflation is hitting with a vengeance.

Obamaâ€™s notion, though, is that he has our back if he forces us to do something we donâ€™t want to do. Obamacare was having our back â€“ even if it meant forcing us to do something we didnâ€™t want to do. His new student loan program is having our back â€“ even if it means creating the single greatest financial scam since government-incentivized subprime mortgages.

We shouldnâ€™t have Obamaâ€™s back because he hasnâ€™t had ours.

Obama's tacky 'I Shot Bin Laden' ad
has turned a military triumph
into a political disaster
Telegraph, by Tim Stanley

Barack Obamaâ€™s â€œI Shot Bin Laden!â€ ad might be the worst political move heâ€™s ever made. It tops the list because, unlike his many other foul-ups (50 percent structural youth unemployment, skyrocketing debt, supporting post-birth abortion), this is a rare example of him getting something completely right and then turning it into something horribly wrong. The man is so politically tone deaf he makes Joe Biden look like Machiavelli.

BREAK

For starters, no one seriously thinks that Mitt Romney wouldnâ€™t have greenlit the raid on bin Ladenâ€™s compoundâ€“as Mitt said, â€œeven Jimmy Carter would have given that order.â€

Very perceptive Lennie.
Yeah, I thought you and yours would enjoy looking at the businessman extraordinaire who is going to get his a$$ handed to him in November by the "finger wagger."

BTW, you have any more wind farm updates, Lennie?

Navy SEALs Grumbling Over
Obamaâ€™s Victory Lap?
National Review Online, by Jim Geraghty

Well . . . Iâ€™m sure this is not the message Team Obama expected when they kicked off â€œNow We Can Spike the Football Weekâ€:

Serving and former US Navy SEALs have slammed President Barack Obama for taking the credit for killing Osama bin Laden and accused him of using Special Forces operators as â€˜ammunitionâ€™ for his re-election campaign.

The SEALs spoke out to MailOnline after the Obama campaign released an ad entitled â€˜One Chanceâ€™.

In it President Bill Clinton is featured saying that Mr Obama took â€˜the harder and the more honourable pathâ€™ in ordering that bin Laden be killed. The words â€˜Which path would Mitt Romney have taken?â€™ are then displayed.

A serving SEAL Team member said: â€˜Obama wasnâ€™t in the field, at risk, carrying a gun. As president, at every turn he should be thanking the guys who put their lives on the line to do this. He does so in his official speeches because he speechwriters are smart.

Obama Launches Campaign in Empty Arena
Big Government, by Alexander Marlow

Barack Obama launched his campaign in unspectacular fashion today at Ohio State University, the largest college in the crucial swing state. A photo posted to twitter by Mitt Romney's campaign spokesman Ryan Williams reveals sparse attendance. The above image, according to Williams, was taken during the President's first official campaign speech.

During the speech, Obama ripped into the presumptive GOP nominee and discussed nation building at home, but the most newsworthy item of the day was not the talking points Obama delivered: it was the crowd... or lack thereof. According to ABC News, the Obama campaign had expected an "overflow" of people. Instead, the arena looked half-empty. The Columbus Dispatch reports that Obama organizers even had people move from the seats to the floor of the gym in order to project a larger crowd on television.

ObamaCare Left Out of New Obama
Ad About First Term Accomplishments
Townhall, by Katie Pavlich

Team Obama is out with a new swing state ad touting President Obama's accomplishments during his first term. The problem? The ad fails to mention ObamaCare, President Obama's landmark legislation. The Obama campaign is going on the air in nine battleground states this week with a new TV ad that focuses solely on the presidentâ€™s record and the four accomplishments of which Democrats are most proud.

Considering support for ObamaCare is still extremely low, it isn't surprising they left it out.

Biden roars against the rich: 'They don't get us!'
Washington Examiner, by Charlie Spiering

An angry Vice Biden roared out a fiery speech against Mitt Romney today, insisting that he and other Republicans did not understand the middle class.

Biden said he "resented" when political opponents suggest that people like him who grew up in the middle class, were "envious" of wealthy people and "don't dream."

"My mother and father dream just as much as any rich guy dreams!" Biden yelled, noting that his mother and father believed he could be Vice President. "They don't get us, they don't get who we are!"

Maybe to a CAREER DEMOCRAT DC POLITICIAN, 3 million dollars home IS middle class....

quote]Biden Calls Himself 'Middle Class Joe,'
Owns Mansion
Weekly Standard, by Daniel Halper

Joe Biden, speaking in Ohio today, said that he is "tired of being called a 'Middle Class Joe.'"

While it's not clear who actually calls the vice president that, it is clear that his house and finances tell a different story. Here's a picture of his home (not his official vice presidential residence at the Naval Observatory in Washington, D.C.):

Zillow.com, a reliable real estate web site, estimates the worth of Biden's Wilmington, Delaware, home (pictured above) to be a cool $2,856,950. (This does not appear to include the cottage on the Biden estate, which the vice president rents out to the Secret Service for more than $12,000 per year.)

"The vice president and his wife, Jill Biden, reported assets of between $239,000 and $866,000," according to Bloomberg.

"I said it yesterday, and Iâ€™ll say it more calmly today. I donâ€™t think these guys understand us,"

Obama: â€˜Nobody Wants to Get Something for Nothing'
Cybercast News Service, by Terence P. Jeffrey

(CNSNews.com) - Speaking Thursday afternoon in Newton, Iowa, President Barack Obama pitched his idea for $5 billion in new tax credits for manufacturers that make equipmentâ€”such as windmill blades and solar panelsâ€”for â€œclean energyâ€ companies.

â€œNobody wants a handout,â€ Obama said. â€œNobody wants to get something for nothing.â€
