"On all these issues, but particularly missile defense, this can be solved, but it's important for him [Vladimir Putin] to give me space. . . . This is my last election. After my election, I have more flexibility." --- Barack Obama to Dmitry Medvedev, March 26, 2012

Top 10 Obama ties to history

Earlier this week it was discovered that on the White House website, President Barack Obama had been inserted into each and every presidential biography dating back to Calvin Coolidge with the curious exception of Gerald Ford. For instance, the White House biography of Frankli …

The unknown celebrity

The squabbling between political campaigns and the harrumphing of pundits were put in proper perspective at, of all places, the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner — the annual Prom on the Potomac where 2,000 or so media members and movie stars gather to  …

The Hypothetical President

Plenty of Americans believe that the president's rhetoric runs counter to facts, but actually, it's the president's own counterfactual arguments that matter most. Which is to say, nearly the entire case for President Barack Obama's second term is based on not what has happened …

Free-lunch egalitarianism

Here we go again. At the beginning of his presidency, Barack Obama argued that the country’s spiraling debt was largely the result of exploding health-care costs. That was true. He then said the cure for these exploding costs would be his health-care reform. That was not …

CBS reporter to Carney: President 'made a mistake and you can't admit it'

CARNEY: The president spoke in answer to a question, relatively briefly, and in the context of this case, made the statement that there is no judicial precedent—that there is long judicial precedent which would argue that the court should not overturn this law. I totally  …

Political Word Games

One of the highly developed talents of President Barack Obama is the ability to say things that are demonstrably false, and make them sound not only plausible but inspiring. That talent was displayed just this week when he was asked whether he thought the Supreme Court would u …

The audacity of Obama'ss arrogance

If you want to know why the Obama administration failed so spectacularly to defend Obamacare in the Supreme Court last week, look no further than a 2008 statement President Obama gave to author Richard Wolfe: "You know, I believe my own bulls--t." This arrogance may have serve …

Energy: Obama's Favorite Topic of Deception

The presidency of Richard Nixon was destroyed, and that of Bill Clinton nearly ruined, by scandals that erupted over lies they told. But no president ever before has lied as frequently, as flagrantly or as foolishly as has Barack Obama. The president was in Cushing, Okla., Mar …

Not-So-Smooth Operator

Something's happening to President Obama's relationship with those who are inclined not to like his policies. They are now inclined not to like him. His supporters would say, "Nothing new there," but actually I think there is. I'm referring to the broad, stable, nonradical, non …

Brutal week for Obama, the worst of his presidency

The past seven brutal days will go down as one of the worst weeks in history for a sitting president. It certainly has been, without any doubt, the worst week yet for President Obama. Somehow, Mr. Obama managed to embarrass himself abroad, humiliate himself here at home, see h …

The Media's Double Standard On Obama's Daughters

The dust had barely settled on President Obama's March 6 public interjection of daughters Malia and Sasha into the Sandra Fluke "slutgate" controversy, when we learned of 13 year-old Malia's solo Spring Break in Mexico. The White House promptly demanded media censorship for the …

Obama's Virtual Rose Garden

When Barack Obama went into hibernation in December and vacationed in Hawaii, we noted that his poll numbers edged back up some. His advisers probably noticed the anomaly too: that the less the people hear and see of Obama, the more they seem to like the abstract idea of Obama  …

Proof of life

Right now, millions of adult Americans cannot legally fly on an airplane or rent a car. They’re not allowed to drive one, either. And if they really need to get somewhere fast, they can’t use Amtrak. When they (somehow) get there, they can’t stay at a hotel. I …

Who's Obama sneering at?

Delivering his big speech on energy at Prince George's Community College, he insisted the American economy will be going gangbusters again just as soon as we start running it on algae and windmills. "Let me tell you something. If some of these folks were around when Columbus s …

These Gas Prices Are Obama's Gas Prices

Barack Obama has spent his presidency finding scapegoats and fleeing responsibility. For example, our massive deficit is not his fault. Rather, it’s George W. Bush’s fault. Our painfully high unemployment isn’t his fault either. Rather, it’s due to the f …

Americas longest war will leave no trace

Say what you like about Afghans, but they're admirably straightforward. The mobs outside the bases enflamed over the latest Western affront to their exquisitely refined cultural sensitivities couldn't put it any plainer: "Die, die, foreigners!" And foreigners do die. U.S.

Can you really afford four more years?

In January 2009, when President Obama was sworn in, a gallon of regular gasoline cost $1.68. Today, it's more than double that: The price has reached $5 in parts of California and $6 just outside Florida's Disney World.

Miracle of the algae

If Americans aren’t sold on electric cars as the solution to our energy problems, I’m pretty sure that they won’t fall for pond scum (algae). Yet this is part of what President Obama had on offer this past Thursday when he spoke at the University of Miami.

Pentagon apologizes at local mosque for Quran burning

A senior Pentagon official is apologizing to Washington-area Muslims for the burning of Qurans at a military base in Afghanistan. Peter Lavoy, acting assistant secretary of defense for Asia and Pacific security affairs, says the military is investigating and that all troops ar …

Welcome to the Brave New Obama World

The master propagandists of the left have taken on a breathtaking task: selling the public on Obama's economic disaster as a good thing.  The witting left understands that the "fundamental transformation" Obama promised means permanently high unemployment and workforce shr …

President Obama Punts on US Deficit

In February 2009 -- having signed into law his $787 billion stimulus package -- President Barack Obama made a pledge to the nation.

A Fairness Quiz for the President

President Obama has frequently justified his policies - and judged theeir outcomes - in terms of equity, justice and fairness.  That raises an obvious question: How does our existing system - and his own policy record - stack up according to those criteria?

Eric Holder's False Testimony Warrants Impeachment

For incompetence alone, Attorney General Eric Holder should resign in the wake of the illegal "Fast and Furious" gunrunning scandal.  But fresh news that he knew of it and is covering up warrants impeachment.In the latest Friday night document dump - news released as to mini …

36 Obama aides owe $833,000 in back taxes

How embarrassing this must be for President Obama, whose major speech theme so far this campaign season has been that every single American, no matter how rich, should pay their "fair share" of taxes. Because how unfair -- indeed, un-American -- it is for an office worker like …

Rejecting the Keystone pipeline is an act of insanity

President Obama's rejection of the Keystone XL pipeline from Canada to the Gufl of Mexico is an act of national insanity.  It isn't often that a president makes a decision that has no redeeming virtues and - beyond the symbolism - won't even advance the goal of the groups th …
