According to a recent report, "Television Audience", by Nielsen, television ownership is on the decline and will continue its decline in the future. The rising trend of the past years has leveled off and has begun to drop.
Ownership for the group of key adults which include people between 18 and 49 have dropped. The drop in ownership started 2010 with a small drop but has been accelerated this year.
Why the drop? According to Nielsen, two factors are at play. One, more and more people are viewing television programming online. The other is that the downturn in the economy is taking its toll.

Obama: My Kids will be Fine Even If America Isn't
In a speech given in New York to campaign supporters, President Obama had this to say about his children.
"Our kids are going to be fine. And I always tell Malia and Sasha, look, you guys, I don't worry about you -- I mean, I worry the way parents worry -- but they’re on a path that is going to be successful, even if the country as a whole is not successful. But that’s not our vision of America. I don't want an America where my kids are living behind walls and gates, and can’t feel a part of a country that is giving everybody a shot."

"Occupy Wall Street" Protesters Turn on Obama
Last night, over 100 "Occupy Wall Street" protesters marched to a Midtown hotel to protest at a fund-raiser for President Obama.
Protesters, escorted by police, started their march from Bryant Park and headed to the Sheraton hotel where President Obama was expected to appear at 9PM.
They carried signs saying, "Obama is a corporate puppet." Another one read, "War crimes must be stopped, no matter who does them". One man wearing a mask with the president's face was carrying a cigar and a sign that read, "I sold out!"
Ben Campbell, the 28-year-old who organized the protest, said, "President Obama is coming to town solely to raise money from the richest of the rich."

Gingrich over Obama
In a new national Rassmussen poll, Newt Gingrich now leads President Obama by 2 percentage points. Gingrich moves ahead of Obama with 45% of those polled to Obama's 43%.
Although the lead is within the margin of error, it signals to the Republicans that the once-thought to be invincible President Obama is suffering from the lagging economy and his poor job performance.

Obama the Tax-Cutter
In Scranton, PA, President Obama is now claiming to be a tax-cutter in order to woo the middle-class.
"I know you hear a lot of folks on cable TV claiming that I am this 'big tax and spend liberal.' Next time you hear that, you just remind the people who are saying it that since I've taken office, I've cut your taxes. Your taxes -- your taxes today, the average middle class family, your taxes today are lower than when I took office. Just remember that. We have cut taxes for small businesses, not once, not twice, but 17 times. The average family's tax burden is among the lowest it's been in the last 60 years. So the problem is not that we've been raising taxes. We've been trying to give families a break during these tough times," Obama said at a campaign event in Scranton, Penn.

Horses Could Be Slaughtered for Meat in US
Congress quietly lifted a 5-year-old ban on funding horse meat inspections. The ban was lifted in a spending bill that would fund the government until mid-December. It was signed into law by President Obama on November 18th.
Horse slaughterhouses could be up and running in less than a month. According to the USDA, there are currently no horse slaughterhouses in the US. The last slaughterhouse that butchered horses for meat for human consumption closed in 2007 and was located in Illinois.
