Coming Up On The John Gibson Radio Show 01/24/12 John Gibson Program for Tuesday, January 24, 2012 No Applause Please! Newt Gingrich is complaining that NBC didn't allow for applause lines in a debate where he didn't provide any applause line. Rather, Mitt Romney finally went on attack mode hitting Gingrich on his “influence peddling” as a K Street operative and his record of “leadership” as Speaker of the House. Was the attack effective or is it too late for Romney to salvage Florida? Gibson examines. Plus: Romney releases his fairly benign Tax Returns, why the wait? President Obama prepares his State of the Union Political Speech tonight including Warren Buffett's Secretary in the FLOTUS Box to punctuate the Class War Election Narrative!

Eager to command center stage in a year dominated by Republican infighting, President Barack Obama is polishing a State of the Union address that will go to the heart of Americans' economic anxiety and try to sway voters to give him four more years. He will speak Tuesday to a nation worried about daily struggles and unhappy with his handling of the economy.

State of Union: Obama to take on economic anxiety

Barack Obama weathered the guilt-by-association storm in 2008, withstanding criticism of his ties to Bill Ayers and Rev. Jeremiah Wright. But what about Saul Alinsky? As a young community organizer, Obama was taught by activists who were influenced by Alinsky, the Chicago activist who argued…

	Corynne McSherry: 'Wikipedia, Reddit to shut down sites Wednesday to protest SOPA' [DemocracyNow!] DemocracyNow.org Wikipedia, the online encyclopedia and sixth most visited site in the world, will join websites like the content aggregator Reddit, to “go dark” on Wednesday in opposition to the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA), and its companion bill, the Protect IP Act (PIPA), which are currently being debated in Congress. “What these bills propose are new powers for the government — and also for private actors — to create effectively blacklists of sites that allegedly are engaging in some form of online infringement and then force service providers to block access to those sites,” says Corynne McSherry, Intellectual Property Director at the Electronic Frontier Foundation. “What we would have is a situation where the government and private actors could censor the net.” Chief technology officials in the Obama administration have expressed concern about any “legislation that … undermines the dynamic, innovative global Internet.” But the bill's main backers, Hollywood movie studios and music publishers, want to stop the theft of their creative content and the bills have widespread bipartisan support. A vote on SOPA is on hold in the House now, as the Senate is still scheduled vote on PIPA next Tuesday.	From: KnewWorldNoing Views: 903 12 ratings

	Santorum nearly squeezes out come-from-behind Iowa caucus victory nma.tv Rick Santorum lost the Iowa caucuses to Mitt Romey by a mere eight votes, with Ron Paul finishing third. Romney beat Santorum, 30,0015 to 30007. Both Santorum and Romney received 25 percent of yesterday's vote, with Paul third at 21 percent. The Republican electorate is fractured between voters who support the relatively moderate Romney, who according to polls has the best chance of beating President Barack Obama, and voters looking for a more conservative candidate to support. Mitt Romney may have won the Iowa presidential caucuses, but Rick Santorum won the night. Romney has a huge campaign war chest and a big-spending PAC run by former aids, Restore Our Future, that dropped $4.1 million on the Iowa caucuses, compared to $600000 by PACs which supported Santorum. That Santorum, the conservative former Pennsylvania senator who written off until last week, nearly won the Iowa caucuses shows just how unenthusiastic Republican voters, especially evangelical Christians, are for the former Massachusetts governor. Ron Paul won the internet by getting endorsements from Chuck Norris and Drudge readers. So his third place finish must be disappointing. The Libertarian-leaning Paul possesses a fanatically loyal core of supporters but is not popular among moderates or politically conservative evangelicals. Santorum's sudden surge from behind was also a product of spectacular implosions by candidates Michele Bachmann, Rick Perry and Herman Cain, each of whom was for a period of …	From: NMAWorldEdition Views: 6557 65 ratings
