Mitt Romney as Alexander the Great! He'll have to do more than just play Ronald Reagan to Barack Obama's Jimmy Carter…[Reader Post]

The country is certainly a different place than it was when Andy Griffith was keeping the streets of Mayberry safe from pick pockets or settling disputes between feuding clans. It’s also a different place from the one Ronald Reagan inherited in 1981.

New Romney ad hurts Obama's feelings [Reader Post]

Mitt Romney has a new ad running in Ohio

It must be effective as it has made the left is seething mad. Rachel Maddow went off the rails:

Why the AC130s were grounded: Obama didn't want voters to find out that he had armed the jihadists with SAMs [Reader Post]

It’s simple logic. In Libya there is only one possible threat to an AC130 gunship: surface to air missiles. Thus this is the only way Panetta wasn’t lying when he said that it was lack of information about the threat environment that kept him from sending defenders into “harm’s way” in Benghazi. He must have been afraid that the jihadists were lying in wait with surface to air missiles, and he had good reason to suspect such a ploy.
