Obama's Failing Presidency By J.R. Dunn Steven Thomma and Charles Krauthammer may disagree on everything else, but they do agree that Obama is a historical titan whose influence will echo across the rest of the century and beyond. Krauthammer looks upon this with foreboding, while Thomma, editorial writer for the McClatchy group ("TRUTH to POWER!") can't understand why we aren't all dropping to our knees weeping in gratitude. While Obama's reputation may no longer be that of a demigod, it hasn't fallen very far among much of the country's political elite. In uptown Manhattan and within the Beltway, Obama is viewed as a mastermind, a political wizard who ...

When McCain picked Palin, liberal journalists coordinated the best line of attack By Jonathan Strong - The Daily Caller 3:09 AM 07/22/2010 In the hours after Sen. John McCain announced his choice of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin to be his running mate in the last presidential race, members of an online forum called Journolist struggled to make sense of the pick. Many of them were liberal reporters, and in some cases their comments reflected a journalist’s instinct to figure out the meaning of a story. But in many other exchanges, the Journolisters clearly had another, more partisan goal in mind: to formulate the most effective talking points in order to defeat Palin and McCain and help ...

What the NAACP/Tea Party Battle Is Really About By Robert Weissberg The recent dust-up between the NAACP and the Tea Partiers over charges of "racism" appears to be yet one more instance of blacks accusing whites of insensitivity, real or imagined. In reality, however, these exchanges reflect far deeper animosities that will not vanish with "clarifications" or expelling "racist" Tea Partiers. The NAACP and its numerous allies have for decades led the charge to expand government power, including intruding into areas once considered absolutely off-limits to local government, let alone Washington. Tea Partiers are not libertarians, but they've had enough ...

Seven Republican senators have announced a plan to curb the Obama administration's push to impose controversial Net neutrality regulations on the Internet. On Wednesday, Sen. Jim DeMint of South Carolina and six other GOP senators introduced legislation that would sharply curb the Federal Communications Commission's ability to regulate broadband providers. "The FCC's rush to takeover the Internet is just the latest example of the need for fundamental reform to protect consumers," DeMint said in a statement. Without this legislation, DeMint said, the FCC will "impose unnecessary, antiquated regulations on the Internet." The new bill--called the Freedom for ...

Not Obama Is Not Enough There are risks involved, but if Republicans are to be taken seriously, they must be willing to detail specific alternatives to the Obama agenda. Republicans will shortly need to stand for something more than just being against much of the Obama agenda. Only a superior and detailed alternative can win more lasting support than just a midterm correction. Obama, after all — with nationalized health care, amnesty, cap-and-trade, financial overhaul, government absorption of private enterprise, takeover of the student-loan industry, and gorge-the-beast deficits that will ensure a generation of higher taxes — at least seems to have some sort of plan to ...

Report: Journalists Debated Whether Government Should Shut Down Fox News Published July 21, 2010 A group of liberal journalists used a now-defunct listserv to debate the merits of whether the federal government should forcibly shut down Fox News, according to a report in The Daily Caller. The online publication earlier reported that the journalists in the private group discussed ways to shield Barack Obama from the Rev. Jeremiah Wright scandal when Obama was a presidential candidate. The latest article showed that several members of Journolist aired complaints about Fox News on the listserv in March of this year and debated how best to rein it in. Guardian columnist Daniel Davies, who ...

A Sarah Palin Endorsement Means More Than a Barack Obama Endorsement 7/21/10 at 09:40 AM Bad news for President Obama in a new Quinnipiac poll out this morning. Not only does his presidency get its lowest numbers in the poll to date, but as we approach the midterm elections, it seems that Obama's endorsement would taint his fellow Democrats running for office more than help them. Only 12 percent of voters say that Obama campaigning for a candidate makes them more likely to vote for that candidate — that includes only 28 percent of Democrats and 8 percent of Independents — while 30 percent of all voters, and Independents specifically, say it would make them less likely to vote ...

The Scariest Unemployment Graph I've Seen Yet Jul 20 2010, 12:00 PM ET | Comment The median duration of unemployment is higher today than any time in the last 50 years. That's an understatement. It is more than twice as high today than any time in the last 50 years. OK, you're saying, but what does this mean? Does it mean we must increase the duration of unemployment benefits to protect this new class of unemployed, or does it mean we need to stop subsidizing joblessness? Does it mean we need to expand federal retraining programs, or does it mean federal retraining programs aren't working? Does it mean we need more stimulus, more state aid, more infrastructure projects, ...

JournoList Flashback: Today, the Daily Caller revealed that in 2008, liberal members of the e-mail list known as "JournoList" colluded to pressure main stream media from focusing on the sermons of then-Senator Obama's pastor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright. Here is a sample of the sermons from Pres. Obama's mentor and spiritual advisor that the press didn't think you needed to focus on.

Illinois Failures Go Nationwide Under Obama By PHYLLIS SCHLAFLY Posted 07/19/2010 07:05 PM ET View Enlarged Image 'Unsustainable" is a scary word that recently entered political discourse, coming authoritatively from Congressional Budget Office Director Douglas Elmendorf. Unsustainability is the operative moniker for Barack Obama's massive deficit spending, which Elmendorf said "cannot be solved through minor tinkering." The CBO predicts an increase in our public debt from $7.5 trillion at the end of 2009 to $20.3 trillion at the end of 2020 if Obama's fiscal 2011 budget is implemented. As a percentage of gross domestic product, the debt will rise to 90% from ...
Journolist, Round Two

JournoList, Round Two [Daniel Foster] The Daily Caller has a second group of leaked "JournoList" e-mails — these dating to the scandal surrounding Barack Obama's association with Rev. Jeremiah Wright during the 2008 presidential campaign — which illustrate a coordinated effort among a group of left-leaning news and opinion journalists to bury the story and/or make it about right-wing racism. First, a couple of caveats: little in the threads the Caller publishes rises to the level of a nefarious "mainstream media conspiracy," as most of the journalists quoted are columnists or work for lefty opinion rags like The Nation and Mother Jones. They have no duty ...

Video Shows USDA Official Saying She Didn't Give 'Full Force' of Help to White Farmer Published July 20, 2010 | FoxNews.com Days after the NAACP clashed with Tea Party members over allegations of racism, a video has surfaced showing an Agriculture Department official regaling an NAACP audience with a story about how she withheld help to a white farmer facing bankruptcy -- video that now has forced the official to resign. Shirley Sherrod, the department's Georgia director of Rural Development, is shown in the clip describing "the first time I was faced with having to help a white farmer save his farm." Sherrod, who is black, claimed the farmer took a long time ...

Blame it on Maine Jeannie DeAngelis In response to having his vacation ruined by the Obamas' visit to Bar Harbor, a young Maine vacationer lamented to his father "This is the worst day of my life." You know what I say about that - "Too damn bad!" It's because of states like Maine full of hammered silver jewelry wearing, Greenpeace loving liberals that this imposter is president at all. Now, after the entire nation is subjected daily to Obama disrupting lives and making it impossible for Americans to scrape together two nickels to go on vacation themselves, Maine is inconvenienced. Tough! Tourists couldn't cross the sand bar over on foot during low tide to ...

Unsatisfactory Answers on the New Black Panther Case [Hans A. von Spakovsky] I watched NRO’s own Jim Geraghty this Sunday on Howard Kurtz’s Reliable Sources, discussing the lack of coverage of the New Black Panther Party case by the mainstream media. Both the Washington Times and National Review have been covering this story for the past year while the New York Times and the Washington Post ignored it. Bob Schieffer claimed he didn’t know about the case. He was on vacation when the story exploded back into the headlines after J. Christian Adams testified before the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, and that’s why he didn’t ask Attorney General Holder any questions ...

Watch the Obama reelect numbers By: Mark Penn July 18, 2010 10:17 PM EDT By far, the most alarming numbers this poll presents for President Barack Obama are the reelection figures; against a generic Republican candidate, he loses by 5 points, 37-42. In general, when an incumbent’s reelect numbers fall below 50 percent, it’s a sign of trouble to come — and Obama’s inability to break even 40 percent may be the most telling indicator to come out of these data. Click here for full poll results Americans like Obama — despite nearly 10 percent unemployment and two ongoing wars, his 49 percent favorable rating remains much stronger than some of the low points hit by ...

Approval of Obama drops to 28 percent in new Arizona poll PHOENIX - Most Arizonans no longer think Barack Obama is doing a decent job as president. A new Behavior Research Poll released Sunday shows that nearly four out of every 10 Arizonans now rate Obama's performance as poor or very poor. That's up 5 points from the same survey taken in January. What's different is that the number of those who think he's doing an excellent or good job has plummeted. Three months after taking office, fully 51 percent of Arizonans gave Obama positive ratings, even though the state went for hometown favorite John McCain in the 2008 election. A year into office, that had slid to 40 ...
Health-Care Bill Surprise: 1099 Nightmare

Health-Care Bill Surprise: 1099 Nightmare A clause buried in the bill requires more tax forms—and small business will bear the brunt. By John Tozzi Anyone who makes it to page 737 of the massive health-care bill approved by Congress in March will find a three-paragraph section that has nothing to do with hospitals, doctors, or drugs. The provision, inserted by Democrats on the Senate Finance Committee to help offset the cost of the bill, requires companies to report to the IRS payments of more than $600 a year to any vendor. The intent is noble: to capture $2 billion or more a year in taxes on income that currently goes unreported by contractors and small businesses. Business ...

Already, Berwick, according to career employees at CMS, has begun looking at what resources are at his disposal to launch a wide-scale media and public relations offensive in support of Obamacare and his views on government-funded health care. CMS is the agency charged with administering Medicare and working with state governments to administer Medicaid, and the Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP). ...

TARP Audit Questions Rush to Close Auto Dealers By NICK BUNKLEY Published: July 18, 2010 DETROIT — President Obama’s auto task force pressed General Motors and Chrysler to close scores of dealerships without adequately considering the jobs that would be lost or having a firm idea of the cost savings that would be achieved, an audit of the process has concluded. The report by Neil M. Barofsky, the special inspector general for the Troubled Asset Relief Program of the Treasury Department, said both carmakers needed to shut down some underperforming dealerships. But it questioned whether the cuts should have been made so quickly, particularly during a recession. The report, ...

New York Times reporter Matt Bai is writing for readers who get their news from, well, the New York Times. So he feels free to regurgitate this: The question of racism in the amorphous Tea Party movement is, of course, a serious one, since so much of the Republican Party seems to be in the thrall of its activists. There have been scattered reports around the country of racially charged rhetoric within the movement, most notably just before the vote on the new health care law last March, when Representative John Lewis, Democrat of Georgia, the legendary civil rights leader, was showered with hateful epithets outside the Capitol. There are a few problems with this assertion regarding the ...
As Massachusetts health 'reform' goes, so could go Obamacare

As Massachusetts health 'reform' goes, so could go Obamacare By Robert J. Samuelson Monday, July 19, 2010 If you want a preview of President Obama's health-care "reform," take a look at Massachusetts. In 2006, it enacted a "reform" that became a model for Obama. What's happened since isn't encouraging. The state did the easy part: expanding state-subsidized insurance coverage. It evaded the hard part: controlling costs and ensuring that spending improves people's health. Unfortunately, Obama has done the same. Like Obama, Massachusetts requires most individuals to have health insurance (the "individual mandate"). To aid middle-class ...

Obama to blast GOP on unemployment benefits By Sam Youngman - 07/19/10 06:00 AM ET President Obama will take to the White House Rose Garden on Monday morning to excoriate Republicans for blocking unemployment insurance, a White House official said. With financial reform passed and soon to be signed, Obama is pivoting immediately to passing another agenda item on the Democrats' wish-list for the remainder of the summer work session. The official said the president will have "strong words" for GOP senators who have blocked the extension thee times in the last few weeks, and he will criticize Republicans for simultaneously calling for extending the Bush tax cuts for the ...

Republicans See Path to Control of Senate Published July 19, 2010 | The Wall Street Journal WASHINGTON—Democrats for the first time are acknowledging that Republicans could retake the Senate this November if everything falls into place for the GOP, less than two years after Democrats held a daunting 60-seat majority. Leaders of both parties have believed for months that Republicans could win the House, where every lawmaker faces re-election. But a change of party control in the Senate, where only a third of the members are running and Republicans must capture 10 seats, seemed out of the question. That's no longer the case. The emergence of competitive Republican candidates in ...

Dems Start to Panic as Reality of Midterm Woes Sets In By Mark Halperin Monday, Jul. 19, 2010 Under pressure, the Democrats are cracking. On both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue, there is a realization that Nancy Pelosi's hold on the speakership is in true jeopardy; that losing control of the Senate is not out of the question; and that time, once the Democrats' best friend, is now their mortal enemy. Since January, when Scott Brown won Ted Kennedy's Massachusetts Senate seat, the President's party has tried to downplay in public what its pollsters have been saying in private: that Obama's alienation of independents and white voters, along with the enthusiasm gap between ...
