KRAUTHAMMER: OBAMA IN OVER HIS HEAD

As usual, Krauthammer nails it:
It’s not that complicated. Obama is over his head … He hadn’t run a state. He hadn’t run a city. He hadn’t run a business. He is running the biggest enterprise in the world and he has not succeeded. And that is why all of these independents … are now waking […]

FOURTH CIRCUIT CALLS OBAMA A LIAR

When the Dems passed ObamaCare, they denied that the penalty for not complying with the individual mandate was a tax. They knew that would be politically toxic, so they justified the mandate by invoking Congress’ power to regulate interstate commerce. Here’s the President denying that the penalty is a tax:

However, as the various ObamaCare lawsuits began working […]

LET’S MODEL OBAMAJOBS AFTER OBAMACARE!

I know what you’re thinking: Why didn’t I think of that? Well, because you’re not Paul Hsieh and you don’t have those great pain meds you get when you yank your hip out of whack so badly that you require surgery. So, here are some details of his job creation scheme:
1) Impose a “job mandateâ€? requiring all companies with greater […]

DEBATE VIDEO: PERRY GOES AFTER ROMNEY ON JOB CREATION … AND WINS

Last week, I wrote a column for the American Spectator in which I suggested that, if Romney gets the GOP presidential nomination, he would spend much of his time defending his own record on jobs and health care. The following duel with Perry features Romney doing just that, but it won’t work against facts like this […]

FLOWERS FOR OBAMACARE

My column today for The American Spectator discusses the pirouette our progressive friends in the media have done regarding the intelligence and influence of Clarence Thomas.
For two decades, progressives have claimed that he is intellectually unfit to sit on the Court. They have repeatedly told us that Thomas is, as one commentator recently phrased it, […]

THE ORWELLIAN ESSENCE OF OBAMACARE

Dr. Beth Haynes, of the Black Ribbon Project, has a great column at Townhall on the Orwellian character of ObamaCare:

When is rationing not rationing … When the government says so.

And our Beltway masters often say so:
Supporters of the ACA react to the opposition’s charges of rationing by pointing out that the law expressly forbids it … But if the […]

VIDEO: RON PAUL’S HYPOCRISY

Ron Paul has released the following attack ad against Rick Perry, in which he depicts himself as a Reagan Republican and Perry as a Gore-supporting Democrat. Watch it and then I’ll explain how it exposes the essential hypocrisy of “Doctor No”:

Did you notice how the ad shows shot after shot of the good doctor posing with Reagan as […]

VIDEO: HOWARD FINEMAN SAYS OBAMACARE WAS THE PRESIDENT’S BIGGEST MISTAKE

Howard Fineman, who is now the Editorial Director for The Huffington Post, was asked by Chris Matthews: What has been President Obama’s biggest political mistake? Fineman answered as follows:
His decision to spend all of his political capital in a year and a half of his time on the healthcare reform law I think was his […]

PERRY, ROMNEY, SELF-DELUSION

Stanley Kurtz at NRO pronounces himself unpersuaded by my recent American Spectator column suggesting that Rick Perry would be a much better choice for the GOP presidential nomination than Mitt Romney:
David Catron recently claimed that, while Perry can beat Obama, Romney cannot. While Catron makes some good points, I’m not persuaded. Even if Romney finds it awkward […]

VIDEO: KRAUTHAMMER DECLARES “PRESIDENT ZERO” THE PERFECT GOP SLOGAN FOR 2012

The good doctor sums it up in his usual mordant style:
Look, I think the Republicans have their perfect slogan - President Zero: zero economic expansion, zero jobs, zero ideas on how to cure the economy … And at the same time he piled up regulation on regulation, spending on spending, Obamacare …
