The Obama Bus Tour
By Paul Greenberg
Another day, another jobs bill/economic stimulus. And another presidential tour to promote it.
This time our president and partisan-in-chief chose North Carolina for the setting, and who can blame him? Who wouldn’t want to drive through its mountains and vistas these beautiful fall days — instead of actually working [...]

Is Obama Losing Party Support?
By Donald Lambro
President Obama was back on his bus this week, promoting yet another job bill in the diminishing hope that it might help him hang on to his own.
Just days after the Democratic-controlled Senate failed to muster enough support just to make his bill the pending business, he [...]

Ominous Parallels
By Walter E. Williams
People are beginning to compare Barack Obama’s administration to the failed administration of Jimmy Carter, but a better comparison is to the Roosevelt administration of the 1930s and ’40s. Let’s look at it with the help of a publication from the Mackinac Center for Public Policy and the Foundation [...]

Politics Versus Reality: Part II
By Thomas Sowell
No one is more of a master of political talking points than President Barack Obama. Remember “shovel-ready projects”? These were construction projects where the shovels were supposed to start digging the moment the government gave them the “stimulus” money.
Two years later, Obama can joke about the fact [...]

Obama’s Dilemma — and Ours
By Pat Buchanan
Seventy-one years ago this spring, after the German army had broken through the French lines, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill flew to France to consult his embattled allies on how to stop the advance.

Obama’s Serial Indecision
by Michael Gerson
An administration that lacks a consistent foreign policy philosophy has nevertheless established a predictable foreign policy pattern. A popular revolt takes place in country X. President Obama is caught by surprise and says little. A few days later an administration spokesman weakly calls for “reform.” A few more days [...]

The Unhappy President
By Jonah Goldberg
“The Oval Office, I always thought I was going to have really cool phones and stuff. … I’m like, ‘C’mon guys, I’m the president of the United States. Where’s the fancy buttons and stuff and the big screen comes up?’ It doesn’t happen.”
–President Barack H. Obama

All the President’s Funny Money
by Michelle Malkin
Ka-ching, ka-ching, ka-ching. President Obama’s perpetual campaign cash-o-matic machine kicks into high gear again this week as the celebrity-in-chief heads to Hollywood for several high-priced fundraisers. But while the Democrats’ 2012 re-election team stuffs its hands into every liberal deep pocket in sight, questions about the [...]

Ryan 1, Obama 0
by David Limbaugh
I am beginning to wonder whether President Obama is so cocky about his 2012 re-election prospects that he thinks he doesn’t even have to be serious in his budget plan offerings.
Unfortunately, the nation’s unfunded liabilities aren’t so casual as the president; they are growing by more than $10 [...]

The Education of Barack Obama
by Bill Murchison
When Ralph Nader wants to impeach a liberal African-American president for war crimes, you start to get the idea how odd these present times are. Odd and getting odder. Nor is it likely, in spite of the wall of comments concerning our Libyan intervention, that anyone can [...]
