The reason I depend so heavily on the British press is unlike the Obama-suck up media in the States, they know how to report like professional journalists instead of acting like love-sick cheerleaders.

President Obama has lost millions campaign funds compared to 2008 as his ex-donors are taking their cash elsewhere, including Republican rivals.
Tens of thousands of supporters who gave him hundreds of dollars or more in the early stages of the 2008 campaign haven't offered him similar amounts of cash so far in this campaign. And in some cases, former Obama contributors gave to GOP candidates like former Massachusetts Gov Mitt Romney.
But it's not like the president is hurting for cash.
Obama's campaign and the Democratic Party raised more than $70million for Obama's re-election in the July-September period, outstripping all Republicans combined by tens of millions of dollars.
But an Associated Press analysis indicates that Obama, beleaguered by a struggling economy, has lost early support from some of his larger financial supporters and will have to work harder to win back party stalwarts and swing voters alike.
The news comes as a Time magazine poll this week revealed that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton would beat each of the Republican challengers if she were the Democratic Party's nominee.
The statistics also showed that Mrs Clinton's margins were better than President Obama - who edges Romney and by just 46 per cent to 43 per cent, Perry by 50 per cent to 38 and Cain by 49 per cent to 37.

I really don’t hold much with any Hillary Clinton numbers. She’s about as unqualified to be president as Obama. Sleeping with an ex-president doesn’t exactly give her qualifying experience.
And for as much as the press fawns over her because she’s the poster child for victimhood, she’s the worst secretary of state in American history.
