The Obama economy: It is dreadful

Posted on April 8th, 2013

If grade-schoolers were more worldly wise, a decent playground insult these days could be: “He’s slower than the Obama recovery.” Or maybe, “Your mamma’s uglier than the last jobs report.” On Friday, the Labor Department reported that a dismal 88,000 jobs were created in March. That figure might be revised upward later, as previous jobs [...]

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. [...]

Posted on November 22nd, 2012

By KEVIN ROBILLARD   A top adviser to Mitt Romney’s failed presidential campaign on Wednesday slammed Republican officials for turning on their standard-bearer after angling for Cabinet posts only a few days earlier.   “It is stunning,” former Romney campaign official Dan Senor said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.”   “The Friday night before the election, [...]

The Choice

Posted on November 2nd, 2012

  At stake is the very nature of the American social contract   “Ronald Reagan changed the trajectory of America in a way that Richard Nixon did not and in a way that Bill Clinton did not.” That was Barack Obama in 2008. And he was right. Reagan was an ideological inflection point, ending a [...]

A disastrous summer for the White House. Is Barack Obama now the most unpopular US president since Jimmy Carter?

Posted on August 15th, 2011

EXCERPT ONLY: Could President Obama’s approval rating fall as low as Jimmy Carter’s, hovering just above 30 percent? Undoubtedly it could, with the economic situation deteriorating and consumer confidence plunging. This is a distinctly Carter-esque presidency, with a weak president unable to lead, hugely challenging economic conditions, and declining American power on the world stage. Gallup’s [...]

Mean streak: Obama is not as nice as he looks

Posted on April 18th, 2011

The Washinton Examiner Liberal Democrats were often befuddled by President Reagan’s “Teflon presidency.” By their lights, Reagan could commit the most heinous acts, but their criticisms were usually shrugged off by the American people, who judged him a “nice guy” who deserved the benefit of the doubt. President Obama has enjoyed something similar during his [...]

Ronald Reagan’s America

Posted on February 1st, 2011

As we approach the Centennial Birthday celebration of President Reagan, the American leader who helped collapse the “Evil Empire” of the former Soviet Union without firing a shot or launching a missile, it’s a good time to reflect on the life of this great man and his many accomplishments. It’s also instructive to remember how [...]

Playing You to the Bitter End

Posted on October 27th, 2010

THE AMERICAN SPECTATOR BY: PETER FERRARA In July 1953, after President Eisenhower had been in office for just six months, the U.S. economy tumbled into recession. He didn’t barnstorm around the country talking about how President Truman had driven the economy into a ditch, and how it was such a struggle to get the economy [...]
