The unemployment rate rose to 9 percent for the month of April. There was some job growth but a large percentage of that number can be attributed to a mass hiring of 62,000 by McDonald’s. A staggering total of one million people applied for those McDonalds jobs. When the largest section of job growth is […]
The strength of America comes from the power of the American woman. I have been married for over ten years and my wife Susan and I have four children together ranging in ages from five months to nine years. My wife is the rock of our household who holds everything together. Without her, the family […]

President Obama’s decision not to release the Osama bin Laden death photo is alarming. You had CIA Director Leon Panetta just yesterday saying that the photo would eventually be released. War is a dirty business, and in the Arab world especially, the rumor mill has always run rampant. Not releasing the photo will only heighten […]

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 […]

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.
