The Presidential Wheel Turns

Posted on April 26th, 2013

      Disaffection for Bush gave us Obama. That explains the new affection for Bush   Barack Obama was elected president in 2008 because he was not George W. Bush. In fact, he was elected because he was the farthest thing possible from Mr. Bush. On some level he knew this, which is why [...]

Noonan: Government by Freakout

Posted on February 23rd, 2013

Obama’s scare tactics aren’t much of a long-term strategy. The president’s sequester strategy is like Howard Beale in “Network”: “Woe is us. . . . And woe is us! We’re in a lot of trouble!” It is always cliffs, ceilings and looming catastrophes with Barack Obama. It is always government by freakout. That’s what’s happening [...]

Rendezvous with Disaster

Posted on November 16th, 2012

  America’s prospects after the election debacle.   By:  Conrad Black The United States has endured a dumbed-down, hideously expensive election that retained gridlock and showcased the modern enfeeblement of its political process.

Posted on September 27th, 2012

Posted by Chris Cillizza and Aaron Blake on September 27, 2012 at 6:30 am It’s easy amid a slew of swing state and national polling that shows President Obama opening up a high single-digit lead over Republican challenger Mitt Romney to conclude that we could be witnessing an electoral blowout in the making.

Mitt Romney’s top political adviser: Mitt Romney

Mitt Romney doesn’t really have a Republican problem

Posted on January 14th, 2012
