Obama Campaigns in Ohio as Middle Eastern Violence Rages

AND SPECTER OF DOMESTIC TROUBLES RISES

(Sep. 18, 2012) — Obama’s schedule today stated that he would make two campaign stops in the state of Ohio today but did not indicate the time of either one.

The times of various events on Obama’s schedule were apparently posted at some point after initial reports of it were released.  However, no schedule is posted for Tuesday, September 18 or the remainder of the week, which is not unusual in the Obama regime.

Obama pointed out to his audience in Cincinnati that early voting would begin in Ohio on October 2.  The Obama regime had filed a lawsuit against Secretary of State Jon Husted and Attorney General Mike DeWine in July challenged the preclusion of in-person voting during the three days just prior to the November 6 election.  A federal court ruled in Obama’s favor, but the decision has been appealed to the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals.

Judicial Watch and a group called True the Vote sued Husted amidst claims that he had not removed “a multitude of ineligible voters” from the state’s voter rolls.

“We’re all in this together,” Obama told his audience.  “When people are doing well in the middle, then everybody does well,” he said.  Obama promoted jobs and “going after unfair trade practices,” for which he said he had set up a task force earlier this year.  He talked about a “level playing field” and stressed that “everybody should play by the same rules.”

Gov. John Kasich claims that his plan has helped Ohio’s unemployment rate to drop from 9% to 7.3% in the past 18 months.  Obama takes credit for the improvement in Ohio by having rescued the automobile industry and enacting tax cuts “for people who need it.”  “We’re all in this together,” Obama said.

Jobs in the coal industry, which affect Ohio’s employment picture, have been lost because of stricter regulations and a lower demand for power because of the economic recession.

As Obama has been campaigning, the FBI and Department of Homeland Security have issued a warning that Middle Eastern violence perpetrated against U.S. embassies in the region could occur in the United States.  An “Anti-Islamic Movie” is still being blamed for the widespread unrest in Sudan, Lebanon, Yemen, Libya, Egypt, Tunisia and other countries.  Secretary of State Hillary Clinton claimed that the U.S. government “had nothing to do” with producing the video, although information has surfaced which indicates that the producer was a significant Obama donor and currently on probation for federal crimes.  The video has reportedly been on the internet for several months.

After four U.S. embassy employees were murdered last Tuesday on the eleventh anniversary of the 9/11 attacks on the U.S., Clinton spoke at a dinner marking the end of Ramadan, the Muslim holy month.  “To attack an embassy is to attack the idea that we can work together to build understanding and a better future,” Clinton said, referring to the violence of September 11.

Libyan President Mohamed al-Magarief believes that the attack on the U.S. embassy in Benghazi was “pre-planned.”  Some U.S. officials agree. The September 11, 2001 attacks were reportedly planned for years before they were carried out that day.

Some Muslims in Virginia denounced the widespread violence as “worse” than the video.  During his remarks about the deaths of the four embassy workers, Obama stated that Libyans had taken Ambassador Christopher Stevens to the hospital, but differing reports stating that he was tortured have also been issued.

Before Obama took office, he stated that “The day I’m inaugurated, Muslim hostility will cease.”  Now Obama is promising that “justice will be done.”
