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 [...]

Return of the Real Obama
Posted on January 4th, 2013
The president is dedicated to the expansion of the welfare state. By Charles Krauthammer NATIONAL REVIEW ONLINE The rout was complete, the retreat disorderly. President Obama got his tax hikes — naked of spending cuts — passed by the ostensibly Republican House of Representatives. After which, you might expect him to pivot to his [...]

Why they want to go over the cliff
Posted on December 28th, 2012
By JONATHAN ALLEN Washington’s Democratic and Republican power brokers have sent the message to the nation that going over the fiscal cliff is a worst-case scenario. But they’re not acting that way, not at all. Instead, many of them have calculated that it’s better to go over the cliff — at least temporarily [...]

Henninger: Obama’s Ruinous Course
Posted on December 6th, 2012
Where in his career did Barack Obama ever learn the art of the political deal? Nowhere. A wise judge once wrote in dissent that the Constitution is not a suicide pact. Let us now extend that wisdom to presidential elections. Barack Obama says his election victory is a mandate to pursue [...]

Discord Complicates Negotiating Position of Boehner, Who Punished Four House Members; Obama Calls for Higher Taxes WASHINGTON—Conservatives on Tuesday took aim at House Speaker John Boehner’s deficit-reduction proposal in the fiscal cliff talks, a dispute that was aggravated by Mr. Boehner’s decision to remove some conservatives from prized committees.

Charles Krauthammer: Cliff-jumping with Barack
Posted on December 2nd, 2012
By Charles Krauthammer Why are Republicans playing the Democrats’ game that the “fiscal cliff” is all about taxation? House Speaker John Boehner already made the preemptive concession of agreeing to raise revenue. But the insistence on doing so by eliminating deductions without raising marginal rates is now the subject of fierce Republican infighting. [...]

THE FIRST DEBATE: Mitt the Superb
Posted on October 4th, 2012
By Yuval Levin Barack Obama and Mitt Romney have both been running for president since about 2006, and have participated in a lot of debates in that time. I think this was Mitt Romney’s best debate in that entire time, and Barack Obama’s worst. Obama was the more surprising. He was weaker than usual in [...]
