As Manager-in-Chief, Obama Blamed for FAA Woes

Posted on April 25th, 2013

By Alexis Simendinger The White House predicted last year that frustrations spawned by airline traffic delays would grab the public’s attention and force Congress to correct the misshapen results of lopping through federal budgets with a guillotine.

Romney Rescues GOP Battle for the Senate

Posted on October 23rd, 2012

By Jim O’Sullivan The political landscape has dramatically changed in just thirty days. Barack Obama had the momentum. His attacks on Mitt Romney were clearly taking a toll, and the president was also outspending Romney to drive the negative messages home. The assaults suggested that Romney was both unqualified and unfit to be the president, [...]

‘I Thought He Was Going to Cry’

Posted on October 20th, 2012

By JAMES TARANTO Bill Clinton was in Ohio yesterday campaigning for Barack Obama. Or was he? Certainly the former president was in Ohio–to be precise, in Parma, a Cleveland suburb.

We Are Sailing Deeper Into Uncharted Waters

Posted on September 23rd, 2012

By Richard Fisher  It will come as no surprise to those who know me that I did not argue in favor of additional monetary accommodation during our meetings last week.

What Obama ‘bounce’? Not in polls

Posted on September 20th, 2012

  By WHIT AYRES and LUKE FRANS    POLITICO Polling coverage since the national conventions has been consumed by bounces and speculation about whether the presidential contest has been altered in some fundamental way — presumably to President Barack Obama’s advantage.

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 [...]
