It is certainly true that Newt has been on the wrong side of the health reform debate on more than one occasion, but his answer to a question about how ObamaCare can be repealed is excellent. And he also manages to get in this zinger about Obama’s pathetic jobs record:

ECONOMIC ILLITERACY HAS CONSEQUENCES
In today’s American Spectator, I discuss the breathtaking illiteracy about economics that pervades the Democratic Party:
The Secretary of Labor, Hilda Solis, visited Capitol Hill last week and claimed that the unemployment rate will increase if Congress fails to extend the eligibility period for federal unemployment benefits. My first reaction to this Orwellian assertion was a […]
VIDEO: HERMAN CAIN INTERVIEW WITH WSJ
In this interview, Cain explains the differences between himself and Romney as well as the 999 plan. The interviewer tries to nail him on the math for lower income people but Cain makes him look like an idiot, showing that even people who pay no payroll tax now will still be better off under his […]
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:

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.

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

Even though the last three years have already shown that Keynesian economics do not work, many mouth-breathing progressives are still pushing giant public projects as a way of creating jobs. In this clip, George Will explains that, even if Hoover Dam-type public projects created real wealth and jobs, the envirotards would stop them from being […]
VIDEO: OBAMA VERSUS OBAMA ON WHO OWNS THE ECONOMY
Back in 2009, Obama was feeling pretty cocky about fixing the economy and said it was a job he gladly accepted. This video shows a July 2009 speech in which he says the following:
We have to get the economy back on its feet. That’s my job, and it’s a job I gladly accept … I welcome the […]
THE ONE-TERMER WE’VE BEEN WAITING FOR
My latest column for the American Spectator discusses President Obama’s performance on the economy and his powers of prognostication:
In February of 2009, President Obama went on the Today Show to discuss a variety of issues, including his plan to turn the economy around. When asked about the consequences of failure for his presidency, he replied with […]
