If you think that Obama’s dishonest ads against Mitt Romney are an aberration, something that he has been driven to by the tight presidential race, here’s a little reminder that this tawdry stuff is standard operating procedure for our soon-to-be-ex President.
You know Obama’s in trouble when people are feeling nostalgic about Hillary Clinton. And that’s exactly what happening in some precincts of the progressive community: The first televised ad for a Clinton-for-President recruitment campaign has officially hit the airwaves, courtesy William DeJean, a Chicago dentist who tells CNN he thinks the former senator and acting [...]
Yesterday, I wrote about the latest round of ad hominem attacks on Betsy McCaughey, but I didn’t have time to expand on the main reason progressive pundits and bloggers revile her. It’s less about her commentary on Obamacare than her alleged role in the debate over Hillarycare. It’s an article of faith among these people that she killed the Clinton health reform effort. In [...]
During the primary season, all of the Obots kept telling us that Hillary Clinton was an evil, racist fear-monger who was unfit to serve. Now that she’s being considered for Secretary State, however, they have executed another of their trademark pirouettes. The most vertigo-inducing reversal comes from Andrew Sullivan, who spent a year slandering Mrs. Clinton with [...]
Last February, I wrote a piece for AmSpec discussing how pleasant it was watching Barack Obama confound the Clintons in the primaries: For conservatives, watching Barack Obama challenge Mrs. Clinton’s claim to the Democratic Presidential nomination provides no small amount of schadenfreude. But I also warned that this should not blind conservatives to the fact that ”The One” would be [...]
During her speech to the Democratic convention, Hillary told one of her trademark whoppers: I will always remember the single mom who had adopted two kids with autism. She didn’t have any health insurance, and she discovered she had cancer. But she greeted me with her bald head painted with my name on it and [...]
Hillary’s presidential campaign is done. That, at least, is what Andrew Sullivan thinks: Yes, I’ve thrown a little salt over my shoulder, crossed myself a few times and said 10 decades of the rosary, but the laws of mathematics have to be worth something. If Sullivan is correct, and he probably is, then we should be safe [...]
Once upon a time, the health care industry harbored considerable animus toward Democrats. This hostility reached its peak during the 1993 fight over Hillarycare. However, as that old tune from yesteryear phrases it, the times they are a changin’. The Health Blog reports the following: From Jan. 1, 2007 through March of this year, people and political action [...]
The single greatest danger to our health care system is the election of a Democrat to the Presidency in November. The good news is that this is less and less likely. As Dick Morris suggests, if Hillary can’t win the nomination of her party she’ll make sure Obama loses the general election: Is she continuing [...]
Krugman is trashing Obama again. Maybe anxiety about upcoming layoffs at the NYT has made him bitter: During the closing days of the Pennsylvania primary fight, the Obama campaign ran a TV ad repeating the dishonest charge that the Clinton plan would force people to buy health insurance they can’t afford. Hillary does indeed want to foist [...]
