Jim Geraghty takes a slam at President Barack Obama's "created or saved" X number of jobs claim. Look, I Just 'Saved or Created' Another Blog Post The Obama administration's relentless use of the "saved or created" metric, even in the face of increasing ridicule, is pretty remarkable. But if it won't die, perhaps the concept […]
I'm not sure which is worse, that Matt Yglesias is so ignorant of how we treat terrorists at Gitmo, or that he is so ignorant of the nature of the North Korean regime. Needless to say, it’s easy to recognize this sort of barbarism as the torture that it is when you read about it […]
The May unemployment numbers are out, and courtesy of Innocent Bystanders we have an updated graph of the jobless numbers vs. President Barack Obama's predictions in selling the stimulus. Questions: At what point does Obama begin to own the economy? How high does the unemployment rate have to go before the media starts seriously scrutinizing […]
John Weidner over at RandomJottings notes the not-so-subtle differences in the press releases from the Obama administration after the murders of abortionist George Tiller and that of the American soldier in Arkansas. Obama has belatedly, and quietly, issued a statement about the shooting of two soldiers in Arkansas: ... "I am deeply saddened by this […]
For the record: I have no problem with President Obama taking the First Lady to a Broadway show. The White House shouldn't be a prison. However, it's more than a little hypocritical for Obama to call for belt-tightening in these economic times, lambasting companies who provide junkets in Las Vegas and ripping into the Big […]
Remember back when Democrats cared about the "politicization" of the Justice Department after President George W. Bush fired a handful of U.S. attorneys -- people who serve at the president's pleasure? Well, those days are apparently long gone. From The Washington Times comes word that President Barack Obama's political appointees have overruled career Justice Department […]
Yesterday, President Barack Obama announced the nomination of Sonia Sotomayor to replace Justice David Souter on the Supreme Court. Sotomayor is a woman (so now Ginsberg will have someone to go to the bathroom with), a Hispanic, and a lefty -- and those appear to be the three most important things in her selection. Barring […]
I haven't commented on last week's dueling speeches between President Barack Obama and former Vice President Dick Cheney. From a purely political standpoint, the fact that Cheney is the one making these sorts of speeches just goes to show you how shallow the GOP bench is on national security issues. As former federal prosecutor Andrew […]
President Barack Obama's commencement speech at Notre Dame was what you've come to expect from him; full of platitudes about his respect for the pro-life movement covering for his pro-abortion radicalism. In short, your beliefs are sincere; go jump off a cliff. As many have noted, Obama's acceptance of the invitation and honor is understandable. […]
The Washington Post's Robert J. Samuelson analyzes the Obama budget plan and finds it is a potential economic disaster waiting to happen. Just how much government debt does a president have to endorse before he's labeled "irresponsible"? Well, apparently much more than the massive amounts envisioned by President Obama. The final version of his 2010 […]
