As he prepares for the second debate, Obama faces a major dilemma: how to be more aggressive without jeopardizing his alleged likability, the main thing he supposedly has going for him with voters. The Barack Obama the public usually sees is not the real Barack Obama. The former is a carefully manufactured media image designed […]

In the vice presidential debate, the two candidates, both Roman Catholics, were asked about their religious beliefs, how they impact the candidates’ political positions and specifically about abortion. This was the response of Vice President Joe Biden: “My religion defines who I am. And I’ve been a practicing Catholic my whole life. And it has […]

Do Americans want to make Barack Obama a one-term president so that they can replace him with a one-term governor? My biggest beef with Mitt Romney is that he won his way into the statehouse in Boston in 2002 only to use it as a perch to run for the White House in 2008. He […]

Had Vice President Joe Biden behaved toward Sarah Palin in their 2008 debate the way he behaved toward Republican vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan in their debate last Thursday, he might have been denounced as a patronizing misogynist. In his debate with Ryan, the vice president was merely a jerk. Interrupting while someone is trying […]

Journalists, politicians and economists all seem to agree that the biggest economic issue currently worrying voters is unemployment. It follows then that most believe that the deciding factor in the presidential race will be the ability of each candidate to convince the public that his policies will create jobs. It seems that everyone got this […]

Forget about the debt, the economy, jobs, Obamacare, Fast and Furious, Libya, gas prices, and the middle class because the Left is obviously looking to center the remainder of the campaign around the single most crucial issue in America:: borrowing almost half a billion dollars a year from China so we can funnel it to a […]

The: CEO of Westgate Resorts made news last week: by telling his employees the truth – that he may have to fire them if Obama is re-elected. If liberals understood that corporations are in business to make money, not to act as government piggy banks, that wouldn’t have shocked them at all. Of course, if fish had […]

There is something worse than bringing a knife to a gunfight. That would be: bringing a rock to a gunfight. The fatal shooting of a teenager suspected of throwing rocks at U.S. Border Patrol agents has prompted strong condemnations from Mexican officials and human rights groups amid a sharp increase in agent-involved killings along the U.S.-Mexico […]

It’s like we’re in a time warp back to the 1970’s. Not the muscle cars and wild times of Studio 54, just the bad parts — turmoil in the Middle East, high unemployment, food and gas prices through the roof and an occupant of the White House with no clue how to deal with any […]

“When a wise man has a controversy with a foolish man, the foolish man either rages or laughs, and there is no rest.” –Proverbs 29:9 I was going to title this column, “How Not to Be a Smarmy, Bellicose, Horse-Toothed Dork Like Biden.” However, upon deeper contemplation I thought I’d direct it toward parents as […]

Vice president Joe Biden showed last night that he is not qualified to be a heartbeat away from the presidency. There was no dignity, circumspection, courtesy, civility or presidentiality in his performance in the debate with the GOP contender, Congressman Paul Ryan Biden came across as a windbag and a demagogue with his constant interruptions […]

Over the next few days, news media and Republicans will share video snippets of Thursday night’s vice presidential debate. Voters will get an extra helping of Vice President Joe Biden chuckling, interrupting, laughing, mugging, smirking and otherwise behaving completely inappropriately. What Team Obama described as “just Joe being Joe” steadily devolved into Joe just being […]

The United Nations was founded to provide a forum for the world’s nations to negotiate differences and avoid armed conflict. Its administrative role was restricted to policing peace agreements after they were concluded and providing humanitarian assistance. But now, the U.N. is trying to become the world’s government, superseding national sovereignty and making of the […]

Behind closed doors, the nations of the world are negotiating a treaty — initiated by Russia and China — to regulate the Internet through the United Nations. There are only two reasons we know about these talks in the first place. One is through a WikiLeaks anonymous posting by a participant in the talks and […]

When a politician is in trouble, he usually falls back on what he knows best — the world he saw around him when he entered into political awareness as a young adult. That’s what seems to have happened to the Democratic ticket after Barack Obama’s disastrous performance in the Denver debate Oct. 3. So Obama […]

We had big fights over amnesty bills during the Bush Administration and Obama lacked the courage to bring the issue up even when he had an overwhelming advantage in Congress. Instead, he decided to implement a de facto amnesty: by refusing to enforce the law. The Department of Homeland Security’s 2011 Yearbook of Immigration Statistics was […]

Americans have lost confidence in their elected officials, the media, and the justice system – and that’s rational. “Stupid” came for a visit in America and: cases like this one prove it never left. A Detroit woman and her one-year-old daughter are being forced to live with a squatter in their own home until a housing […]

“Tainting the tea party movement with the charge of racism is proving to be an effective strategy for Democrats. There is no evidence that tea party adherents are any more racist than other Republicans, and indeed many other Americans. But getting them to spend their time purging their ranks and having candidates distance themselves should […]

October 12 marks the 12th anniversary of the bombing of the USS Cole. The grim milestone comes as President Obama faces mounting questions about his administration’s dereliction of duty during the murderous attack on our consulate in Benghazi, Libya. And it comes just a day after resurgent al-Qaida thugs pulled off the drive-by assassination of […]

After reading transcripts of Obama’s recent campaign stump speeches and watching his interview with ABC News’ Diane Sawyer, I am even more convinced he is every bit as clueless as he appeared in that fateful debate but also very deceitful. The money quote in Obama’s interview with Sawyer, who asked him what happened in the […]

Mitt Romney turned the tables on the president this week and is now spending more on television advertising in the swing states. Buoyed by a 64 percent increase in his television spending (vs. only 2 percent for Obama) Romney is spending $22.4 million on ads in Florida, Virginia, Ohio, Colorado, Iowa and Nevada compared to […]

According to Political Class pundits, the race for the White House was turned upside down by a single debate. The reality, however, is that a very close race shifted ever so slightly from narrowly favoring President Obama to narrowly favoring Mitt Romney. Either way, it remains too close to call. The difference is that voters […]

The hottest ticket on Broadway continues to be “The Book of Mormon,” a musical that pokes fun at the Mormon faith in particular and Christianity in general. It is also full of profanity and blasphemy. If there was a show called “The Book of Muhammad,” the Eugene O’Neill Theatre probably would have been burned down […]

Courtesy of: The Drudge Report. If, and it’s a big IF, Mitt has actually locked down North Carolina, Virginia, and Florida locked down, then it’s entirely possible that this whole race could come down to who takes Ohio. Of course, if Romney took Pennsylvania or Michigan, he could even conceivably survive that. The good news is […]
