By MB Snow at June 27, 2012 | 12:35 am
By Dick Morris -- If Obama loses by the landslide I have been predicting -- and he will -- his undoing gained momentum in June.

But, as 2012 dawned, his approval ... Go To Article

PETHOKOUKIS:: Has Obama’s theory of ‘bottom-up economics’ ever actually worked? | AEIdeas
By MB Snow at June 25, 2012 | 1:08 pm
James Pethokoukis -- Great catch by Hot Air’s Erika Johnsen of President Obama elaborating on his economic philosophy: He told his audience Republicans, including presumptive presidential nominee Mitt Romney, “believe that we should go back to the top-down economics of the last decade.” “They figure that if we simply eliminate regulations and cut taxes by ...

By MB Snow at June 24, 2012 | 12:50 am
By MARK STEYN -- Courtesy of David Maraniss' new book, we now know that yet another key prop of Barack Obama's identity is false: His Kenyan grandfather was not brutally tortured or even non-brutally detained by his British colonial masters. The composite gram'pa joins an ever-swelling cast of characters from Barack's "memoir" who, to put it discreetly, differ somewhat ... Go To Article

By Andrew C. McCarthy -- A number of excellent points are made in this morning’s NRO editorial on President Obama’s wayward assertion of executive privilege to withhold Justice Department documents from the congressional committee probing the Fast and Furious scandal.
