  Cut through some of the noise and padding of Obama's responses in the third and final presidential debate by reading these excerpts. Grab a pad and pencil to give the president one point for each statement you believe to be credible

• The Amateur

  I'd like to lift an excerpt from the book describing a private dinner that Obama held for nine prominent historians - Doris Kearns Goodwin, Michael Beschloss , Robert Caro, Robert Dallek, David Brinkley, HW Brands, David Kennedy, Kenneth Mack and Garry Wills. Apparently this event took place not long after the Obama's took up residence in the White House.

• Presidential Debate Double Trouble

  These excerpts were lifted from the transcript published by ABC news this morning. Some could argue that the statements presented here are taken out of context. They're not. You can read the entire transcript for yourself by accessing the link at the bottom of this article. But for now, you might simply want to review, word for word, exactly what Obama said last night. Be as objective as you can. Then ask yourself if any of this seems credible.

  Originally published on the Obama White House Diaries October 10, 2012 - As many of my friends and family members already know, I took it upon myself to start writing about politics about three and half years ago. Over that course of time, quite a bit of energy has been expended researching political news, followed by [...]

• Some Humor for a Sunday, Courtesy SNL

  To be honest, sometimes I find it difficult to laugh about politics these days. There’s so much at stake with the next election and you could make the argument that humor is simply a distraction from the seriousness of the situation facing America’s future right now. But then again, we all need to laugh sometimes. [...]

• I’ll Take a Big Mac, with Unlimited Minutes and Broadband on the Side

  You’re probably aware that the number of people on food stamps in this country has virtually doubled since Obama took office, beginning with $39 billion spent in 2008. Today this taxpayer burden stands annually between $70 billion and $80 billion, depending upon who you ask.  And projections show this trend continuing, which makes perfect sense [...]

• Howard Stern Listeners vs WSJ Readers

  This morning, I ran across two links that, on the surface, have very little to do with each other. The first was an editorial in the Wall Street Journal entitled “The 10% President”.

  A friend of mine who reads The Obama White House Diaries sent me the link to an article written by Mychal S.

  I received an e-mail this morning from a good friend who was kind enough to share a link to the website published by of the University of Colorado at Boulder.  It appears that they have been conducting predictive modeling studies of every US presidential race since 1980.  Rather than stealing their academic thunder, allow me [...]

  It’s 8:AM on a Sunday morning at 30,000 feet en-route from Dallas to California.  Hopefully, the view from above will give me some perspective, because I am somewhat depressed and a little jaded as I reflect upon the journey.  No, not the flight.  I am speaking of past four years.  This has been a ridiculous [...]
