As the Hurricane Sandy Frankenstorm approached, President Barack Obama issued a federal emergency declaration for the State of New York and New Jersey.
The 2012 presidential campaign between President Obama and Mitt Romney will be book-ended by hurricanes.
President Obama doesn't want to have to answer the "difficult" questions on the economy, jobs, the turmoil related to America in the Middle East, and more so he avoids solid news programs to go on popular fluff shows to get softball questions.
Both political parties – Republicans and Democrats – are known for getting carelessly carried away with name calling when stakes and tensions are high in the political arena. Regardless, there is no excuse for the type of name-calling that has surfaced over the past week.
As the final days of the presidential campaign of 2012 wind down, there is ongoing concern about what President Barack Obama's law for requiring businesses to provide health care for its employees will do to small business owners.
While Barack Obama has cornered the market on support from rappers and the hip-hop community, Mitt Romney has nabbed an endorsement of one of New York's iconic figures.
With one generous offer, Trump has reminded the public that Obama still – after one term in office as our president – has hidden secrets which he continues to hide and refuses to reveal.
We are currently seeing two very different approaches to the post-debate push from the two Presidential campaigns – Obama has a much stronger opening to the two week push.
"If he chooses to do this, he will be doing a great service not only to the charity, but also a great service to the country and indeed, himself," Trump said.
Hillary Clinton is a glowing example of the heights women are reaching in the United States in recent times. She contradicts the notion thrust forth by President Obama and his political party that there is an alleged-"War on Women".
While Trump may have an "October surprise" that will destroy President Obama's reelection campaign for the White House, I don't think it's going to be much more than seeing Trump get the headlines for part of the day, again.
Mitt Romney and President Obama both spent Tuesday campaigning in some key battleground states.
Both men got things wrong. So Brooks Jackson of factcheck.org checked in to go over the claims and set the record straight.
Romney won this debate in more ways than one – most impressively due to his dignified style.
What was most clear tonight, though, is that Mitt Romney has no idea how the world works and the Office of the President is no place for on the job training.
President Barack Obama epitomizes the need for a one-term limit for presidents of the United States.
President Barack Obama sharply challenged Mitt Romney on foreign policy in their final campaign debate Monday night, saying, "Every time you've offered an opinion you've been wrong." The Republican coolly responded, "Attacking me is not an agenda" for dealing with a dangerous world.
Monday night marks the third and final showdown between President Barack Obama and Republican nominee Mitt Romney. And with the race in a dead heat, what happens at the debate at Lynn University could well determine the outcome of the election
During the current election campaign, for the first time in American history, President Barack Obama and the "left" have made success in America to be negative.
Romney's ideas – if presented fresh and enthusiastically hopeful for America's future – can be the final bump he needs to win this election.
It is unprecedented for a presidential candidate to have as many conflicts when it comes to foreign business ties as Mitt Romney.
Monday night will be the last presidential debate, and the last time before President Barack Obama and Republican challenger Gov. Mitt Romney will be able to attack each other directly before Election Day.
Early vote was once an idea that both parties promoted. But as Democrats grow in their ability to use it to their strategic advantage, Republicans have sought to reduce or eliminate it.
