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 […]
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.

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 […]
The reported budget deal between Obama, Reid, and Boehner is set to cut $38.5 billion, but did you know that in the eight days it took to reach that deal the national debt increased by $54.1 billion? Last week was a step in the right direction with the budget actually being cut, but the deal […]
What a difference a day makes. Today President Obama is gassing up Air Force One and heading out of Washington as a government shutdown looms. But just yesterday President Obama said, “Myself, Joe Biden, my team we are prepared to meet for as long as possible to get this resolved.” (And we all know how […]
More than two years after the fact, President Obama’s partisan $800 billion “stimulus” bill is still as controversial as it was when it was first signed into law in February 2009. There is little evidence to support that the Obama stimulus plan was anything but a lesson in how to waste almost a trillion dollars […]
A CNN Poll out today marking the one-year anniversary of Obamacare shows that the passage of time has not dulled the public’s vociferous opposition to the bill – Americans still reject the policy by an overwhelming 59 percent majority. The legislation that President Obama, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi […]
The threat of homegrown terror is real, as the terrorist attack at Fort Hood, Texas vividly illustrated. On March 10, the House Committee on Homeland Security, under the Chairmanship of Congressman Peter King (R-NY), will hold a critically important hearing on “The Extent of Radicalization in the American Muslim Community and that Community’s Response.” Predictably, […]
I had the pleasure of sitting down with Newsmax.tv’s Kathleen Walter to discuss everything from unions to debt to Ronald Reagan to President Obama: President Barack Obama’s Chicago-style politics and “union thugocracy” are at work in Wisconsin in an effort to undermine Gov.
