Now that ObamaCare has been shown to be an incredibly expensive mistake that was relentlessly pursued by the White House while more important national issues were ignored, a number of Democrats are claiming that they were against it. Among them is Barney Frank: I think we paid a terrible price for healthcare … I would not [...]
In today’s American Spectator I discuss the unsettling possibility that, in an effort to split the baby on ObamaCare, the Supreme Court will inadvertantly allow IPAB (the law’s health care rationing mechanism) to stand. That would not be good news for the elderly: With the possible exception of the individual mandate, the most pernicious contrivance [...]
This had to be a double facepalm moment for the White House. David Axelrod, Obama’s chief political advisor, was so rattled by tough questions from a real journalist on Fox News that he screwed up his lines and seemed to advocate dumping his boss: The choice in this election is between an economy that produces a growing [...]
I missed this last week, but it’s well worth listening to.
As I have been saying for some time, Mitt Romney is the GOP candidate whom Obama has always wanted to run against. First, having signed Romneycare into law, he has no credibility on health reform.

Since the President began braying about the Supreme Court and ObamaCare last week, more and more people are beginning to doubt his basic understanding of the Constitution. Ann Coulter is one of them. In this video Coulter, who is an attorney with considerable knowledge of constitutional law, says his comments suggest that we need to look [...]

Yesterday, the President more or less dared the Supreme Court to overturn ObamaCare or its key provision, the individual mandate: I’m confident that the Court will not take what would be an unprecedented, extraordinary step of overturning a law that was passed by a strong majority of a democratically elected Congress. Such a ruling would [...]
In this news conference, the President claims to be confident that the Supremes will uphold ObamaCare. In fact, he uses the word “confident” at least half a dozen times in this one clip. Sounds like he’s trying a little too hard to convince us:
