Once Again, President Misrepresents Opposition
2009-09-09 22:40:00 There he goes again. It seems that whenever someone criticizes Barack Obama’s policies, he offers the same response, contending that his opponents just raise objections, but don’t offer solutions. In remarks to the AFL-CIO in Cincinnati on Sunday, he repreated his standard misrepresentation: ?What?s your solution?? Obama asked of his critics . . . . ?You know ... More About: President

2009-09-09 22:15:00 As the President prepares to make another pitch for his health care overhaul as the American people turn against his statist approach, Jim Geraghty wonders if Obama has ever persuaded Americans to change their minds and support his liberal policies: There’s a rather glaring problem with public expressions that “this is the moment for Obama to ...

University of Wyoming Names Center for former Vice President:AP Focuses on
2009-09-09 22:00:00 Do you think a petition generating only 150 signatures in a year’s time to protest the naming of a center in honor of a former Democratic Vice President in his home state would have generated an AP article and led Yahoo! news?

Why President Should Ditch Obamacare, Focus on Economy
2009-09-09 08:00:00 The farther away I get from the 2008 presidential election, the more amazed I am at how well John McCain did in the November balloting. Our anxieties about the economy were stoked by a media eager to portray the then-President as a failure and McCain the candidate of that man’s party couldn’t articulate a ...

US Goes It Alone In Foreign Policy
2009-09-09 04:13:00 Great piece today on Investor’s Business Daily’s editorials site about how even enemies of liberty like Hugo Chavez are finding it inevitable that (to steal a phrase) “democratic, constitutional governance” will probably prevail despite the Obama Administration’s ongoing efforts to thwart the rule of law in Honduras with their bully tactics toward the interrim (and, ...

Glenn Beck?s Statement on Van Jones Resignation
2009-09-08 18:05:00 Go get ‘em, Glenn . The wolves are in the henhouse! The American people stood up and demanded answers.

Had Rightosphere Not Raised such a RuckusWould Obama?s Speech to Schoolkids
2009-09-08 02:18:00 Michelle says it’s “not the speech, it?s the subtext.“ And I wonder if I would have seen the uproar in the rightosphere as nothing more than a tempest in a teapot were it not for the preparatory materials the Department of Education provided exhorting teachers to have students, ?Write letters to themselves about what they can do ...

2009-09-06 17:54:00 Were I not enjoying the last few days of an unusual vacation, I might blog more on two issues receiving scant attention from the mainstream media, but which show a level of corruption and radicalism among Washington Democrats that would raise the hackles of tens of millions of Americans, including many who pulled the lever ...

Obama Misreads his Mandate
2009-09-06 17:06:00 Charles Krauthammer explains: In a center-right country, that was problem enough. Obama then compounded it by vastly misreading his mandate. He assumed it was personal. This, after winning by a mere seven points in a year of true economic catastrophe, of an extraordinarily unpopular Republican incumbent, and of a politically weak and unsteady opponent. Nonetheless, Obama ...

2009-09-06 08:19:00 We all knew it was coming, the only question was when.

Can Healthcare Debate Help Revive GOP?(even with biased media)
2009-09-05 17:57:00 When a friend on Facebook offered that the anti-[Obamacare] side “short circuited the [healthcare] debate with craziness,” I responded with a rhetorical question: Did the anti-side short circuit the debate or did the media coverage of their opposition short circuit [it], given the media focus on [its] most extreme elements?

A Mother?s View: President?s Address to SchoolchildrenNot an ?issue of sin
2009-09-04 07:46:00 In an ideal world, we should not rush to criticize the head of state of a country asking to address the nation’s schoolchildren. So, to a certain extent, I agree with the folks as Founding Bloggers who offered that they saw . . . nothing wrong with a presidential address to students. Context is everything though, ...

Some on the Left Can?t Let Go of W
