by Dr. Milton R. Wolf - July 13th, 2011 - The Washington TimesThe devastation caused by Obamanomics is now undeniable. According to Investors Business Daily, 2 million net private-sector jobs have been lost; unemployment has increased by 1.5 percentage points; long-term unemployment is the worst ever on record; the dollar is 12 percent weaker; the number of Americans on food stamps has increased

by John Hinderaker - July 13, 2011 - PowerLine Properly, Obama should be warning the GOP that he is not bluffing. Saying “don’t call my bluff” is the opposite of what Obama presumably means, sort of like saying that one “could care less” about something. One more example proving that Obama is not only arrogant, condescending, contemptuous and narcissistic, but also (when you pay attention to what

... Obama Is Always Rightby Michael Goodwin - July 13th, 2011 - The New York PostWhen President Obama started talking at his news conference Monday, I listened intently for 15 minutes or so.

by Jay Clarke - July 11th, 2011 - The American ThinkerBarack Obama has many names. He's been called Savior, Messiah, and The Annointed One.

He's an accomplished organizer, spellbinding orator, and historically significant
