Obama's Foreign Policy Gets America's Enemies to Endorse Him

By Doug Johnson

Say what you will, but President Obama’s foreign policy has done no good for America. Something is terribly wrong when those who support the president’s reelection bid include world leaders whose greatest desire is to, at the least, see America diminished in world influence and, worse, would like to see the America of history as the world’s greatest beacon of freedom destroyed. Yet that’s what has happened in the almost four years of Obama’s presidency. Russia’s Putin, Cuba’s Castro, and Venezuela’s Chavez have endorsed Obama’s reelection.

Gallup: Romney, 51, Obama: 45

By Anthony Holm

Last Wednesday's Gallup poll numbers sent the media into a frenzy as Governor Mitt Romney scooted ahead 51% to 45% over President Obama among likely voters - astonishingly, after he trailed by 8 points in September. Even, a Pew poll conducted in the same timeframe showed Romney leading Obama by 4 points among registered voters. So which poll bears the truth? It's hard to know, as polls are a function of anticipated voter turnout on the day of the election. With the slightest manipulation to the sample, these polls can sway to a contrived outcome.
