By starting a war against Libya?

What' was the saying? 'No boots on the ground.' Must have meant there would be no protecting out own borders.

US Marines Being Deployed to Libya

Posted by Daniel Greenfield Bio ↓ on Sep 12th, 2012
And this is how it begins…

U.S. officials say some 50 Marines are being sent to Libya to reinforce security at U.S. diplomatic facilities in the aftermath of an attack in the eastern city of Benghazi that killed the U.S. ambassador and three American members of his staff.

The Marines are members of an elite group known as a Fleet Antiterrorism Security Team, whose role is to respond on short notice to terrorism threats and to reinforce security at U.S. embassies. They operate worldwide.

Obama has already secured a second term probably.
Romney is behind in the polls and losing ground.

Our only hope is Ron Paul!

I am no fan of Obama, but Ambassador Steven's confirmed death after the attack on our consulate is an act of war and now is not the time for a political (campaign) fist-a-cuff...Obama is our president, party unity and precise handling of this incident is what will win voter confidence..I agree with sending the Marines to Libya and in the most recent report, it stated that Obama sent 200 U.S. Marines from Italy to Lybia...

Daily Presidential Tracking Poll

Wednesday, September 12, 2012

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Wednesday shows President Obama attracting support from 46% of voters nationwide, while Mitt Romney earns 45% of the vote. Four percent (4%) prefer some other candidate, and five percent (5%) are undecided.

The president received a modest convention bounce, but that's now gone. On the day the conventions began, Obama was up by two points. Now the numbers are essentially back to that starting point with the president leading by a point. See daily tracking history.

When “leaners” are included, it’s Romney 48% and Obama 47%. Leaners are those who initially indicate no preference for either candidate but express a preference for one of them in a follow-up question.

It was an acto fo war on US SOIL! Obama waited to long to act on this. Once again his inexperience shows. The moment the Embassy was attacked he should have diverted resoources there. It's not like we dont have a large military presance in that area and we could have had our military in place before the attack was over.

Here's what we are looking at....This electoral map:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/special/politics/election-map-2012/embed-map/

Since we last analyzed the national map in July, and despite the fact that Romney has picked his vice president and both parties have held their nominating conventions, there’s been no polling data or spending decisions compelling enough to move any state from its current rating of toss-up, lean Obama or lean Romney.

That means that Obama can count on 196 solid electoral votes and another 41 — in New Mexico, Pennsylvania and Michigan — that lean his way for a total of 237. Romney has 170 solid electoral votes and 36 — Arizona, Missouri and North Carolina — leaning his way for a total of 206.

Among the states, then, that seem unlikely to move either way over the next 55 days, Obama starts with a 31-electoral-vote edge. But it’s in the eight states we rate as toss-ups where the incumbent’s current advantage makes itself clearer.

Relying solely on the Real Clear Politics poll of polls in each state — the most reliable apples-to-apples comparison we know of — there are seven swing states (Nevada, Colorado, Iowa, Wisconsin, Ohio, Florida and New Hampshire) where Obama currently leads and one (Virginia) where Romney holds the lead.

Going by those polls, Obama would take 82 of a possible 95 swing-state votes and win reelection with 319 electoral votes.

Remove states where either candidate leads by a single point or less — that’s Iowa (Obama + 0.2) and Virginia (Romney + 0.8) — and Obama takes 76 of the swing-state electoral votes, giving him 313 — and a second term.

It's an uphill battle for sure. I am curious about what the
strategy is going to be down the stretch.
