Obama’s Smear Machine

“What’s happened to us . . . is a case study in how to fight back against Alinksy methods.  The Left wins because its targets are cowed into submission and do not fight back.” — HillBuzz

Obama’s Clintonian SOTU

In 2000, I won a $40 newsroom pool at The Washington Times by making the best prediction of the length of Bill Clinton’s State of the Union Address. (Hint: With Clinton, always bet longer.) For a decade, from the late Clinton era and continuing through the Bush years, my job on SOTU nights was to edit […]

Iran Discovers the N-Word

Evidently, it has an equivalent in Farsi: Mohammad Javad Larijani criticized the policies adopted by U.S. President Barack Obama and referred to him using a racial epithet. “When Barack Obama was sworn into office he talked of verbally engaging Iran,” the U.C.

Somebody told me it about Reid’s remark while I was at a Tea Party event in Altadena, Calif., from which I went straight to the airport for the long flight home. Excuse me, therefore, for being late to the Reid […]

Obama’s ‘Amateur Hour’

Ron Christie’s column in The Hill: President Barack Obama is being ill served by those by those closest around him: Mr. Cool must lose his cool and fire those staff members who have failed their president and failed their nation. . . . Read the whole thing. I think the problem is not so much that […]

Obama Discriminates Against Foreigners

NTTAWWT: Citizens of 14 nations, including Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Nigeria, who are flying to the United States will be subjected indefinitely to the intense screening at airports worldwide that was imposed after the Christmas Day bombing plot, Obama administration officials announced Sunday.
