Obama sold the American people on the idea that we were in the midst of a slow recovery. Given time, he assured us, we would grow our way out of the recession and all would be fine. Nonsense. We now learn — three months after the balloting — that we were entering a recession even… Read more »
In Obama’s first inaugural address, he spoke of America’s needs, goals and mission. In his second — like a pointillist painter — he decomposed our country into a series of atomized special interest groups and, one after the other, pleaded their case. A comparison of his first and second inaugural speeches shows us how badly… Read more »
Isn’t it ironic that Republicans keep receiving advice to be more conciliatory and work with Obama while he not only is receiving the opposite advice but fully intends to be even more divisive in his second term? On “Meet the Press” last week, former Secretary of State Colin Powell said: “There’s also a dark vein… Read more »
The Rose Bowl, the Fiesta Bowl, the BCS National Championship – and in a few weeks, the Super Bowl – are all coming soon to a television near you. But what if we all displayed the same disdainful attitudes towards the accomplished athletes on our TV screen that Washington politicians display towards accomplished business owners… Read more »
Merry Crony-mas! It’s time to pass out the goodies. While Obama’s lips champion the middle class, his administration’s old hands are preparing to lavish rewards on the creme de la campaign creme: his wealthiest political donors.

According to Pew Research, 54 percent of white voters under 30 voted for Romney and only 41 percent for Obama. That’s the same percentage Reagan got from the entire white population in 1980. Even the Lena Dunham demographic — white women under 30 — slightly favored Romney. Reagan got just 43 percent of young voters… Read more »
Although Mitt Romney took flak for his statement that he lost the election because Obama bestowed “gifts” on key parts of the electorate, what he said is basically true. We’re stuck in a deadly spiral where economic growth is retarded because the economy is larded with enormous and ever-increasing government spending and debt. Yet, more… Read more »
One of the largest elephants in the GOP’s post-election room is the fate of Christian and other social conservatives. Party honchos can’t just wish this problem away — or, maybe they can. There has been increasing hostility toward Christian involvement in politics, and the animus hasn’t been solely from the left. To be sure, Democrats… Read more »
Small minds always leap to the answers given the last time around, which is probably why Maxine Waters keeps getting re-elected. But the last time is not necessarily the same as this time. A terrorist attack is not the same as the Cold War, a war in Afghanistan is not the same as a war… Read more »
Isn’t it tragically ironic that the man who rode the perfect storm into public office on the horse of national unity has now perfected the politics of division so spectacularly that he won re-election despite the worst record in decades? For when you sift through the rubble from the Republican Party’s 2012 nuclear catastrophe, you… Read more »
