As the world was focused on a royal wedding this past weekend, in Vatican City the blessed Pope John Paul II was beatified in front of 1.5 million people from all over the world. The last step before sainthood, beatification is bestowed on the holiest of people and marks the day that he or she […]
This week President Obama’s campaign manager Jim Messina gave a sneak preview of their 2012 campaign strategy. Messina noted that because of Citizens United v. FEC, the 2012 election will be different than the 2008 election. Messina warned of the dangers of Republican aligned Super PACs dominating the election cycle. He didn’t mention that a […]
The argument that President Obama is being treated unfairly or differently than previous presidents when it comes to the voluntary disclosure of non-public records is absurd. This false narrative is simply an attempt to distract from the indisputable fact that the President and his team handled this entire sorry episode like a pack of amateurs, […]
Now that the birth certificate debacle is out of the way 2.5 years into his presidency, Mr. Obama should release his college records – including the 1983 thesis he wrote at Columbia entitled “Soviet Nuclear Disarmament.” I started asking for this document in 2008, but few in the mainstream media thought it was relevant. Maybe […]
During his travels in 1831, French writer, Alexis de Tocqueville, observed that America was an exceptional nation with a special role to play in history. Tocqueville wrote that, unlike in Europe, where social standing defined a citizen, America was a new republic where liberty, equality, individualism, and laissez-faire economics defined the “American Creed.” Citizens United […]

In our system of divided government, Congress passes laws and the President implements them. President Obama, a former constitutional law professor, seems to have forgotten this notion of separation of powers.

Standard & Poor’s (S&P) shifted their outlook on the United States’ long-term AAA credit rating from “stable” to “negative,” citing the unlikely bridging of partisan divides on serious fiscal reform until after the 2012 elections. This is the first time since Pearl Harbor that the long-term outlook has been negative. Nikola Swann, S&P’s credit analyst, […]
“We’re not going to use signing statements as a way of doing an end-run around Congress.” That was then-presidential candidate Barack Obama in 2008 pledging to not issue signing statements as qualifiers to bills Congress passes. But over the weekend, now-President Obama issued his own signing statement to object to Congress eliminating certain czars and […]
President Obama, there you go again. Barack Obama giving a speech about the importance of fiscal restraint is like Bill Clinton talking about the importance of telling the truth. It just doesn’t pass the smell test. The national debt has increased by $3.6 trillion on President Obama’s watch, exploding from $10.6 trillion to $14.2 trillion […]
