Toby Harndon in The Telegraph writes that Barack Obama, 2008 man of hope and change, becomes 2012 candidate of fear and status quo: [Blaming the Tea Party for the dispute over Obama's appearance before Congress] fits with the campaign strategy Obama appears to have decided on –...

The White House is rolling out a new "petition" system designed, apparently, to help citizens get straight answers from the White House on issues they care about. Yeah, I'm not buying it either.  Isn't this the same White House that tried to claim the high ground...

Obama plans a fall offensive against Republicans, according to The Hill (via JWF and Instapundit): President Obama is preparing to fight a political war this fall on two fronts -- the first against Republicans who want his job and the second against Republicans who want to...

Obama's disapproval rating hit a new high in the Gallup daily survey: I would not put too much weight on this.  Yes, it is reflective of a growing discontent. But for reasons which are beyond me, Obama remains personally well-liked.  Don't be complacent, or underestimate his ability...

We've seen him in the situation room when he got bin Laden.  And interrupting his golf game to deal with the D.C. earthquake.  And taking charge of the hurricane control center. But there is one photo which is missing, as noted by commenter Jonathan at Legal Insurrection's Facebook...

This video of Karl Rove handing Bill Burton (former Obama press spokesman) his head on a platter has made the rounds.  Burton played the "blame Bush" and "blame Republicans" game as an excuse for all of Obama's failures, and Rove eviscerated those arguments. Bashing Rove is in...

This is really strange. The first time I heard the term "Firebagger" (a play on you know what) was when Joan Walsh (of Salon.com) and Jane Hamsher (of Firedoglake, hence the "Firebagger" term) had the race card played on them because of their criticisms of Obama. ...

The post yesterday Name That Bus Tour received a very good response in the comments, at Facebook and on Twitter. Here are the five I have selected as finalists in addition to Mitt Romney's original: The Magical Misery Tour (Mitt Romney) Tour de Farce (Facebook comment by Red...

I see that Mitt Romney has dubbed Obama's bus tour the Magical Misery Tour. How about these alternatives: The Driving Through Flyover Country Tour. The "So This Is How The Common People Travel" Tour. The Make Sure They Don't Cling To The Bus Tour. The "This Bus Tour Created or Saved 2,000,000 Jobs"...

Obama plays with fire with his relentless class warfare. It tears at the seams which hold a country together. Demonizing the "top 2%" and claiming they don't "pay their fair share" is not harmless when it is the singular focus of one's political...

So what else is new.  Obama's campaign plans to destroy Mitt Romney, according to Politico, by playing class warfare and portraying Romney as phony and not genuine: Barack  Obama’s aides and advisers are preparing to center the president’s  re-election campaign on a ferocious personal assault on...

Soon after the raid in which Obama got bin Laden took place, as Obama was in the midst of his not-spiking-the-football victory lap, I asked readers to predict when Hollywood would roll out a major motion picture about the raid in order to help Obama's...

In light of Obama's "Putting Americans back to work" campaign theme and bus tour, it is worth revisiting Obama's Catch-2012: The only way for Obama to stimulate the enormous private sector job growth needed to ensure Obama’s reelection is for Obama to announce he is not...

Taxpayers are footing the bill for Obama's bus tour of battleground states in the MidWest because Obama  is claiming it is official business and not a campaign tour (via Drudge via CNS). So not only all your thoughts, but all your money are belong to him....

Because you are going to see an attempt by Team Obama and its friends in the media to blame the sluggish economy and paltry job growth on the Republican refusal to give Obama a clean debt ceiling increase. And it already has started, with Paul Krugman...

From Obama's Birthday fundraising bash in Chicago tonight, via RCP (h/t @Allahpundit)(emphasis mine): "It's been a long, tough journey. But we have made some incredible strides together. Yes, we have. But the thing that we all ought to remember is that as much as good as...

I previously noted that while Obama had a strong second quarter fundraising, the effort focused on two gimmicks -- getting big donors to max out early and running up "small donor" numbers through a cheesy $5 $3 dinner raffle. Now it appears that the fundraising is...

He just can't help himself. He can't get out of campaign mode. After his absurd "I'm Mr. Reaonsable" speech earlier today, his campaign has taken to Twitter urging his supports to send tweets to Republicans in Congress:   This is laughable and childish.  But it's what passes for...
