Tag-teaming Obama

Posted on March 5th, 2013

  Don’t tell the Tea Party, but the tag team of John Boehner and Mitch McConnell are currently mopping the floor with Barack Obama. The president convincingly won a second term in November, but since that time, the congressional Republican leadership has outfoxed, outmaneuvered and plain out-strategized him on just about every issue. On taxes, [...]

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!

Jim DeMint: Ted Cruz deserves cheers, not jeers

Posted on February 21st, 2013

Sensing weakness, Karl Rove’s critics pounce

Posted on February 21st, 2013

By MAGGIE HABERMAN      POLITICO For the first time in a dozen years, Karl Rove’s critics smell blood.

Arrogance and Overreach

Posted on January 24th, 2013
