Obama’s Got A Lot On His Plate, Too Much To Meet With Jobs Council

Another Victim Of Lawfare: Senator Kelly Ayotte

We know all about what hard core lefties like Neal Rauhauser, Brett Kimberlin, and their associates have done in order to shut down free speech and intimidate (to put it mildly) people with other political points of view.

Democrats’ Ideal Voter: Illegal Alien, Single Mother, Convicted Felon

Before taking the oath of office, Barack Obama vowed to fundamentally transform the United States. He has certainly done so. For example, Obama has: — destroyed the job market; — sent billions of taxpayer dollars to Wall Street, companies overseas, his campaign contributors and public sector unions; — forced the passage of a wildly unpopular […]

Blowing up history

In the Arabic media, there are reports that Muslim clerics — energized by the sudden emergence of Egypt’s new president, Muhammad Morsi of the Muslim Brotherhood — are now agitating to demolish the Egyptian pyramids.

7 habits of highly ineffective government

Stephen Covey, the management guru who died this week, would have had a hard time selling his books in Benjamin Franklin’s America, or Abe Lincoln’s. His best seller “7 Habits of Highly Effective People” would have been considered a self-evident truth, one drummed into earlier Americans by schools, churches and the Puritan ethic. Today, Covey’s […]

Are Obama’s Ideas Un-American?

It seems that one of Mitt Romney’s top surrogates, John Sununu, recently gave us a guided tour of the life cycle of a political gaffe.

Obama Believes Success Is a Gift From Government

Perhaps the rain made the teleprompter unreadable. That’s one thought I had on pondering Barack Obama’s comments to a rain-soaked rally in Roanoke, Va., last Friday. Perhaps he didn’t really mean what he said. Or perhaps — as is often the case with people — when unanchored from a prepared text he revealed what he […]

Obama’s Rhetoric

Barack Obama’s great rhetorical gifts include the ability to make the absurd sound not only plausible, but inspiring and profound. His latest verbal triumph was to say on July 13th, “if you’ve been successful, you didn’t get there on your own.” As an example, “Somebody invested in roads and bridges. If you’ve got a business […]

Our Business-Hating President

This week, President Obama spelled out just how much he hates American business in an off-prompter moment in Roanoke, Va. If “you’ve been successful,” said Obama, “you didn’t get there on your own. You didn’t get there on your own. I’m always struck by people who think, well, it must be because I was just […]
