Dave Boyer:
"In one of the first surveys since President Obama came out in favor of gay marriage, Republican Mitt Romney holds a seven-point lead over the president in Friday's Rasmussen daily tracking poll — his largest lead in any survey so far.
Mr. Romney reached 50 percent for the first time in the poll, compared with 43 percent for Mr. Obama.
The poll didn't delve into gay marriage; Rasmussen noted that the results came a week after a disappointing jobs report that "raised new questions about the state of the economy." The number of people who fear their personal finances are getting worse increased to 47 percent, up from 43 percent last week...."

SandBoxBlogs: Washington Times "Bin Laden documents to be posted Thursday morning"
Kristina Wong:
"The Combating Terrorism Center at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, N.Y., will post on its website at 9 a.m. Thursday documents seized last year by Navy SEALs from Osama bin Laden’s hideout in Pakistan after they had killed the al Qaeda leader.
The publication of the terror network’s documents comes amid criticism that President Obama is politicizing the one-year anniversary of bin Laden’s death for political gain.
A spokesman for the Office of Director for National Intelligence said Wednesday that the timing of the release of documents is not linked to the anniversary of bin Laden’s death.
“Identifying the documents, declassifying the document analyzing and reviewing the documents required considerable time since they were obtained a year ago,” spokesman Michael Birmingham said.
He said that time was needed to transcribe the 17 documents, which will be posted in English and Arabic.
Mr. Birmingham said the director for national intelligence decided to pass the documents to West Point to review and post “because of its ability to publish expert commentary and analysis by subject matter experts alongside the documents, because of their previous experience with analyzing and posting captured battlefield documents.”
The documents were selected by a U.S. inter-agency government group and vetted to make sure there was no operationally sensitive information posted, the spokesman said....." (Read more? Click title)

SandBoxBlogs: Washington Times "When hit by Obama, Romney’s reply is ‘jobs’"
Seth McLaughlin:
"When it comes to tailoring his message, Mitt Romney has adopted a one-size-fits-all philosophy: There’s little that his economic message can’t do.
As the presumptive Republican presidential nominee seeks to push back against President Obama’s support among women, Hispanics and young voters, Mr. Romney in each case has argued that the current administration has failed to produce jobs for them — and he vows to do better.
He also has tacked to the political middle, urging Republicans in Congress to extend student-loan subsidies, announcing support for extending the Violence Against Women Act and signaling that he is open to an immigration solution that could legalize some immigrant youths....."

SandBoxBlogs: Washington Times "CBO: Obama budget deepens debt by $3.5 trillion"
Stephen Dinan:
"President Obama’s budget would pile up an additional $3.5 trillion in debt over the next 10 years and shows the government’s trust funds running out of money in 2020, Congress’s official non-partisan scorekeeper said Friday.
In 2012 alone Mr. Obama’s budget would leave a $1.3 trillion deficit — $82 billion worse than if none of his policies were enacted. Over the next ten years the deficit would dip to less than a half-trillion dollars in 2017, but would rise again in the later years...." (Read more? Click title)

SandBox Comments: The Right Scoop "U.S. Border Patrol Agent Jailed For Doing His Job "
"Only in Obama’s America would a U.S. citizen risking their life in order to protect the United States border be arrested simply for doing their job. In the latest border atrocity, Agent Jesus E. Diaz was arrested, indicted by a federal grand jury and sentenced to two years for the use of unreasonable force. Unreasonable force which consisted of (are you ready for this?) lifting the teenagers arms...."
