President Obama and Senate Majority Leader Reid are the ones who need to make a deal with Speaker Boehner. President Obama has been completely disengaged with these important talks. As Senate Minority Leader McConnell said yesterday, where in the “world” has President Obama been the past month? Unfortunately, you only have to look at Obama’s […]
The government announced this morning that new unemployment claims rose more than expected last week to 429,000. This is the 11th week in a row that the new unemployment claims were over 400,000. The Obama Administration said last year would be a “Recovery Summer.” That obviously did not pan out and America’s economic engine is […]
President Obama’s reported plan of withdrawing 5,000 troops from Afghanistan by the end of this year and withdrawing the additional 30,000 plus surge troops by year’s end 2012 is the wrong policy. Withdrawing those forces so quickly could lead to a power struggle in Afghanistan where the Taliban could crawl back out of the hole […]
President Obama was swept in to office on promises of hope, change, and a new way of doing business in Washington. That new way of doing business is proving to be anything but.

When you sell “hope” and “change” to the American people and then hire your 2008 campaign’s deputy finance director as a special assistant for presidential personnel, something doesn’t smell right. The American public hates hypocrisy and the story that broke Wednesday in POLITICO reeks of the hypocrisy President Obama campaigned against in 2008. When 80 […]
As a supporter of the Republican Study Committee’s “Cut, Cap, and Balance” pledge, Citizens United today endorsed Utah Congressman Jason Chaffetz’s amendment that would cut an additional 10.4 percent or $1.8 billion, from the FY12 Department of Agriculture Appropriations Bill. The Chaffetz amendment will smartly cut the bureaucratic Food for Peace program as well as […]
There is a golden rule in politics that says “do no harm” when you open your mouth. Since being officially elected as Chair of the Democrat National Committee (DNC) on May 4th, it appears Debbie Wasserman Schultz (DWS) may not be aware of this saying. Initially, the conventional wisdom on the left was that the […]

As all of Washington was preparing for the long Memorial Day weekend, Andrew Breitbart and his crack team of reporters were running down sources for a story that would eventually rock Washington and New York. Making sure they had the story correct — Congressman Anthony Weiner had sent a lewd Twitter message to a college […]
On the same day the Weiner saga sucked up all the media attention in Washington, a more telling picture emerged that was not lewd in nature but showed the state of the Obama Administration’s economic policy. Austan Goolsbee, the head of President Obama’s Council of Economic Advisors, is jumping ship and going back to Chicago […]
