As ‘Obamacare’ health exchange deadline passes, 26 states opt in with feds
The backbone of Obama’s health care law is taking shape, with 26 states choosing to let the federal government run the online insurance markets mandated by his signature reforms instead of keeping the job in-house or partnering with the feds.

Obama: Thanks for your service, just don’t vote
The Obama administration thanks the troops for their service by failing to comply with a law requiring that it help soldiers deployed overseas cast ballots in their home states. The administration has taken various states to court to block voter ID laws on the grounds it will disenfranchise voters. But it has no qualms about… Read more »
‘Bait and Switch’ Taxes
We have heard many times from Obama how he plans to raise taxes on “millionaires and billionaires,” but not on the middle class. Apparently, if you don’t happen to be a millionaire or billionaire, you don’t have to worry. But the numbers say otherwise — and say so big time. The actual tax increase plans… Read more »
Journo-Tools for Obama
Can we stop calling the hosts of the presidential debates “moderators”? They’re left-erators. It’s time for the old media godfathers to end the pretense that they’re fair and neutral observers of the American political scene. And it’s time for the GOP to stop perpetuating these rigged exercises in futility. Last week, the Commission on Presidential… Read more »
America is Ready for Paul Ryan’s Adult Conversation
There’s a line of thinking on the political left that Mitt Romney served them up a great softball in picking Paul Ryan as his running mate.

Obama’s Medicare Fear Mongering Will Drown in the Facts
Analysts may be correct that the presidential election won’t primarily turn on entitlements reform, but by choosing Paul Ryan as his running mate, Mitt Romney can, contrary to conventional wisdom, make it a winning issue and lay the foundation for a reform mandate when he wins. Besides, the economy and entitlements are wholly integrated issues:… Read more »
If You Like Obama’s Failed Policies, Vote for Him
Those who understand that America is now on the wrong track cannot reasonably vote for Obama in November, because he is absolutely unwilling to change, perhaps even ideologically incapable of changing, course. Evidence abounds. First, consider his disastrous economic record and his rejection of any semblance of a course change. He and his economic advisers… Read more »
Dr. Obama, Your Patient, America, Is Not Ready for Hospice
We must reject Obama’s death verdict on America’s future. It is ailing under his policies, but it is not too late; it will recover. Obama ran on a platform of unmitigated optimism — a promise to usher in a brighter day for America. But there could hardly be a greater contrast between his pledge and… Read more »
Lech Walesa: Europe needs Romney to succeed
GDANSK, Poland–Lech Walesa, the Nobel Peace Prize winner and former president of Poland, effectively endorsed Mitt Romney during a meeting with the GOP presidential candidate Monday. Walesa, a co-founder of the Solidarity movement in Poland which challenged Communist rule during the 1980s, urged Romney to “get your success” in the upcoming election. “I wish you… Read more »
Romney Is Beating Obama On Fundraising
Obama is losing to his Republican rival Mitt Romney in fundraising on Long Island this year and is holding his own in the local money chase compared with his campaign in 2008, an analysis of campaign finance data show. But the amount Obama has collected so far overall in New York State — and especially… Read more »
