Internal documents obtained by the House Judiciary Committee show that the B.O. regime has been "cooking the books" in order to reach their "record" number of deported undocumented Democrats, chairman Rep. Lamar Smith said Friday.
Based on the internal U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) documents, the number of removals are actually down, the opposite of what the administration has been claiming.
According to the committee's review, in 2011 officials at the Department of Homeland Security began including the number of individuals removed through the Alien Transfer Exit Program (ATEP) in its annual removal numbers. ATEP is a program which moves apprehended undocumented Democrats to another point along the border.
The committee chair claims that counting those individuals as removals is misleading because there are no repercussions for undocumented Democrats who are deported through the program, and they can simply try to re-enter.
The new estimates mean that this year the B.O. regime's deportation record is 14 percent below 2008 (which was 369,000) and 19 percent below 2009 (which was 389,000).
The University of Virginia has declined President Obama's request to speak on campus next week, citing security costs and the disruption of classes.
University officials said the Obama campaign wanted to use one of two outdoor venues -- the school's Amphitheater or the Harrison-Small Library plaza -- when the president visits Charlottesville on Wednesday, according to NBC affiliate WVIR-TV. Looking for a "small" environment space --- thus, its strategy (excuse) for a "small" audience compared to the 10,000 that showed up in Michigan the other day and the 5,000 Saturday in Ohio for the tag team of Romney/Ryan Romney would need both outdoor venues, and the parking lots...
School officials said more than 186 classes would have to be cancelled, in the first week of the fall semester.
The president is scheduled next week to visit three battleground states with a focus on wooing college voters, as the Republican Party holds its national convention in Tampa, Fla.
On Tuesday, Obama is scheduled to hold a rally at Iowa State University, in Ames, Iowa, then one at Colorado State University, in Fort Collins, Colo.
Virginia's top Democrat is playing down the snub. Virginia Democratic Party Chairman Brian Moran told the station, "We're proud that he's coming. We're very excited that he's coming to Charlottesville, regardless of where in Charlottesville."
University spokesperson Carol Wood confirmed to the TV station that President Obama will not be speaking at the university. You're gonna love the reason why...
And the university's communications office said Friday, school officials offered John Paul Jones Arena, but were told it "was not academic enough" by the Obama for America campaign. John Paul Jones Arena, home of the Virginia Cavaliers basketball team (Basketball Fan-in-Chief not appearing in a basketball arena?) has seating for 14,593 fans.
Folks who have filled the arena: Cirque du Soleil, Larry the Cable Guy, The Wiggles, Disney on Ice & WWE Monday Night Raw, Jimmy Buffett, Dave Matthews Band, Lady Gaga and even the Professional Bull Riders Who or what are The Wiggles? They're more popular than Obama, silly...

Champ's base will erode quite rapidly the further south of Charlottesville he ventures. In fact, I wouldn't advise him to go south of Charlottesville at all. And don't even consider visiting Franklin County.
FORTUNE -- Gawker today published what it's calling The Bain Files, hundreds of pages of audited financials and private placement memoranda for old Bain Capital funds. Let me save you some time: There is nothing in there that will inform your opinion of Willard Mitt Romney ...former governor of Massachussetts, currently the presumptive Publican nominee for president. He is the son of the former governor of Michigan, George Romney, who himself ran for president after saving American Motors from failure, though not permanently. Romney's charisma is best defined as soporific, which is probably why he is leading the Publican field. On the plus side, he isn't President B.O... How do I know? Because I saw many of the exact same documents months ago, after requesting them from a Bain Capital investor. What I quickly learned was that there was little of interest, except perhaps for private equity geeks who want to know exactly how much Bain paid for a particular company back in 2006. Sure I would have loved the pageviews, but not at the expense of tricking readers into clicking on something of so little value.

So the Obama Ops team drops documents at the site where I get my Snookie the Guida updates.
Shockingly reveals Mitt has a diverse and tax-efficient portfolio -- just like a good 401(k).

Big deal. Romney made money, hired and fired people at a real job. Bambi wishes he can claim that instead of being nothing more than a professional rabble rouser.
I wonder what the October surprise will be. I'm sure it will be true to form with this administrations completely loathsome behavior.

So we have one candidate who knows how to make money and another candidate knows how to tax it, print it, borrow it and spend it.

Questions You Will Not See Barry Asked:
"Mr. President, as a former editor of the Harvard Law Review, can you explain to me whether Bain's PPM for XYZ Corporation was fully Reg D compliant? If not, how would you have written it?"

The Donks need to drop this losing issue. They are pitching the class warfare thing much to hard. The only ones paying much attention are the Donks. They have not been nearly so critical about the Kennedys, John Fn Kerry, Pelosi, or any of the other Donks. So it seems to be a one-way street.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
