Obama Campaign Ad Controversy, 2000: 'This Guy Says One Thing About You in Your Presence, and Then...' All week, Democrats have been disagreeing publicly with President Barack Obama’s attacks on Bain Capital, with Newark Mayor Cory Booker describing the ad campaign as “nauseating.” It is not the first time that Democrats have attacked Obama for running dishonest campaign ads. Breitbart News has unearthed a long-overlooked report of an off-air argument between Obama and Rep. Bobby Rush (D-IL) during a break in a debate on a Chicago radio station during Obama’s ill-fated primary challenge in 2000.Joel B. Pollak
Breaking Poll: Walker Up 8 in WI, 50-42 Breitbart News has received an exclusive first-look at a poll to be released tomorrow morning by Reason. The Reason-Rupe Poll, conducted May 14-18, shows Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker now leads his opponent, Democrat Tom Barrett, by 8 points, 50%-42% among likely voters.
Walker's Budget Reforms Have Already Saved WI Taxpayers $1 Billion One chief reason Big Labor pushed for an immediate recall of Governor Scott Walker was a fear that, by the time of the next regular election in 2014, voters would have had time to see the benefits of Walker's budget reforms. Much of the doom-and-gloom predicted by unions as the reforms were being debated would have long since been vaporized as empty rhetoric before voters went back to the polls. Unfortunately for Big Labor, positive news on Walker's reforms is already coming in ahead of the recall vote.

Obama claims his policies forged a 'different world' US President Barack Obama offered a direct rebuttal Wednesday of Mitt Romney's foreign policy critique, saying his leadership had forged a "different world" in just four years. In a sweeping survey of his diplomatic worldview, Obama implicitly rejected claims he is wedded to national decline, and said he had restored US values and alliances and paved the way to a new "American Century."

I didn't hear anybody jumping to his defense, did you?"

Exclusive - The Vetting - Barack Obama, the First Tea Partier John SextonIn 2009, President Barack Obama reportedly called members of the Tea Party "teabaggers." It turns out that our fourth greatest president, first in so many things, may have been the first "teabagger" himself, as seen in the 1997 photograph above. Yes, that really is Barack Obama wearing a regimental coat and carrying a tricorn hat in his hand. And that flag behind him really is a Gadsden flag, with its serpent and its "Don't Tread On Me" slogan. You may want to let all of this sink in a bit, especially if you're a Tea Party-bashing progressive.
Did Obama Have Lower SAT Scores Than George W. Bush? President Barack Obama is hailed by his supporters and the mainstream media as one of the most brilliant men ever to hold the office. However, his refusal to release his academic records, his admitted deficiencies as a student, and his frequent factual errors--even in his chosen field of constitutional law--have cast doubt upon his supposed genius. Now, Breitbart News has established that Obama's grades and Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) scores may have been even lower than those of his supposedly less capable predecessor, George W. Bush.

Obama Admin Tells High Schools to Push Obamacare The Departments of Health and Human Services and Education are now acting as outlets for the Obama re-election campaign.
Bain Attacks Split Party, Expose Obama's Incompetence Obama has staked his entire re-election on class warfare and envy and the demonization of the wealthy who also create the jobs, contribute to Democrats, and even drive the state pensions Democrats hold so dear. This cynical approach which, as recently as yesterday, Obama doubled down on, is not only dividing Democrats -- it's also exposing the President's executive incompetence when it comes to managing his own party.
Cardinal Timothy Dolan, Archbishop of New York, has joined with Cardinal Donald Wuerl, Archbishop of Washington D.C., the University of Notre Dame, and 40 other U.S. Catholic dioceses and organizations in a lawsuit against the Obama administration.

Trayvon's Mother Introduced As 'Mother Of New Civil Rights Movement' “It’s so easy for me to cry everyday but I can’t. I’ve got work to do,” Sabrina Fulton said.

FeteThe PrezPolls conducted of just adults, for example, deliver a huge 7-point bias in favor of Democrats. Notwithstanding this bias, it is simply silly to even report political polling results of a sample of adults, since a large part of that sample won't actually be voting. It can, however, be useful if you want to make a partisan political point. This is exactly what the Tennessean newspaper and other media outlets have done.
New Media Victory: MTV Blinks; Unplugs Virgin Reality Show Last Friday, thanks to a tip from a Citizen Journalist, Breitbart News broke the story of a new reality show MTV was casting that would follow young adults in a debasing quest to lose their virginity.

Obama Claims, But Can't Prove, Cherokee Roots President Barack Obama and Massachusetts Democratic Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren have more in common than just their liberal political ideology, Harvard Law pedigree, and Democratic Party affiliation. Both claim Cherokee ancestry, and neither can prove it. Like Ms. Warren, the proof the President has offered to date does not go beyond "family lore"--though he, at least, has not yet offered the Pow Wow Chow cookbook as evidence of his Cherokee ancestry.
New Arrest In NATO Terror Activity A 24-year-old Chicago man was charged with terrorism and making a false threat, accused of planning to make a molotov cocktail to be used during the NATO summit.

The National Nurses United held a large rally in Daley plaza downtown. There were about 2,000 in attendance. Nurses donned Robin Hood hats and watched a stage show mocking the leaders of the G-8. Bill Ayers was in attendance with his wife Bernadine Dohrn. The show was topped off with a performance by Tom Morello, the guitarist of rap-rock group Rage Against the Machine. Morello showed his solidarity with the nurses by wearing a red star sewn into his black shirt--a pretty expensive looking shirt, I might add.
Penn Goes on Vodka-Fueled Haiti Rant: 'Pay the F**k up!' Penn may have had a tipple or two, or three, but he was impassioned about supporting the people of Haiti although he said people had to 'fight the f*** out of politics' to get things done. The rant continued when he demanded that guests bid for auction items.'I want you to stay here and listen to the auction and beat the s*** out of each other to purchase them.'
What Politico glaringly chose to leave out of its in-depth and oh-so detailed reporting is the primary reason Reverend Wright is back in the news, but one inconvenient to President Obama's re-election chances: The claim Wright made this week was that in 2008 the Obama campaign offered him a substantial bribe to remain quiet.
