Now, it looks as though Richardson may have voted as many as six times for Obama, twice under her name and four times under the names of others.<br /><br />The Obama/Biden lawn sign remains proudly planted in front of Melowese Richardson's Cincinnati home, three months after the presidential election.<br /><br /> It seems that President Obama has an especially ardent supporter in the veteran Ohio poll worker.<br /><br /> Richardson told a local television station this month that she voted twice for Obama last November. She cast an absentee ballot and then voted at the polls as well.<br /><br /> "Yes, I voted twice," Richardson told WCPO-TV. "I, after registering thousands of people, certainly wanted my vote to count, so I voted. I voted at the polls."<br /><br /> Authorities also are investigating if she voted in the names of four other people, too, for a total of six votes in the 2012 presidential election.<br />Doughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16770268554450465514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-69066545335533596292013-02-28T04:04:15.730-05:002013-02-28T04:04:15.730-05:00WASHINGTON — The United States is significantly st...<i>WASHINGTON — The United States is significantly stepping up its support for the Syrian opposition, senior administration officials said on Wednesday, helping to train rebels at a base in the region and for the first time offering armed groups nonlethal assistance and equipment that could help their military campaign.<br /><br />The training mission, already under way, represents the deepest American involvement yet in the Syrian conflict, though the size and scope of the mission is not clear, nor is its host country.

Seems that Washington Post investigative-journalism legend Bob Woodward crossed a bridge too far when, in talking about reaction to his narrative-debunking Feb. 22 piece pinning the origination of the sequester directly on a White House that had vociferously denied paternity, has now gone on to dish on a "senior White House official" (later identified as White House Economic Council Director Gene Sperling) who "yelled at me for about a half hour" about the op-ed, and warned that "I think you will regret staking out that claim."<br /><br />Sperling's "threat" (if you can call it that) ranks a bit low on the things-to-be-worried-about totem pole, and Woodward is hardly an infallible source (here's my 2006 column comparing him to Judith Miller), but the reaction tonight from the leftosphere has been something to behold. A sampling:<br /><br /><b>Josh Marshall, TPM:</b><br /><br />Who goes birther first, Scalia or Woodward?<br /><br /><b>David Plouffe, recently of the White House:</b><br /><br />Watching Woodward last 2 days is like imagining my idol Mike Schmidt facing live pitching again.

Because the whole wiretapping program is secret -- which means the targets of the surveillance don't actually know they're targets.<br /><br />So when a coalition of lawyers and journalists and Amnesty International challenged the program's legality, the plaintiffs couldn't prove their lines had been tapped.
