Because a tape is being released on Hannity tonight.

And based on this tease by Drudge, it should be big.

Guesses?

One thing for sure, Democrats will scream Racism! for showing a tape of Obama saying words which are not helpful to Obama.

Maybe that will result in a third Obama speech on race. One...

I just tuned in to hear Chains Biden tell the already debunked story about Obama’s mother fighting with the insurance company, and relating how that story reflects what makes Barack tick and who he is.  What a perfect start to the night.

A presidency built on myth and composite truth.  What in the old days they...

By now you have heard the Obama and Liz Warren speeches about how no one got rich on his or her own.  Listen to them again, it’s important to hear how they frame the issue almost identically:

This narrative is cribbed almost verbatim from the narrative of George Lakoff, a progressive linguistics activist...

The moment I heard Obama’s “you didn’t build that” speech, I knew Obama had dug himself a deep hole from which he would have to spend considerable time climbing out of.

Via Zeek Miller at BuzzFeed Politics, the Obama campaign and Democrats understand how bad the issue has hurt Obama, and are...

Obama’s ”you didn’t build that” line as part of a broader speech about how successful individuals owe that success to government has dug deep into the psyche of Obama supporters.

MSNBC dug up an old video of Mitt Romney speaking at the opening ceremonies of the 2002 Winter Olympics (for comparison, take a...

Reaction to Obama’s imitation of Elizabeth Warren is, um, building.

Bristol Palin is collecting stories at her blog from people around the country, some of which are in this video

The Romney campaign is out with t-shirts (h/t jimzinsocal):

There’s also a parody site, You didn’t build that (h/t PhillyGuy and hepcat).

When Neil Munro shouted out a question to Obama yesterday as Obama was reading a statement in the Rose Garden about his unilateral thumbing of Congress and the American people in the eye, a firestorm of condemnation erupted among media-types on both the left and right.

Forget for the moment that this is...

Breaking from Bagram: We still are not worthy

Obama’s speech from Afghanistan, standing in front of military vehicles at Bagram Air Base, was fairly predictable.

Yet in this moment of spiking the football, Obama needed to remind us that we are not yet worthy as a nation (emphasis mine):

Our soldiers, sailors, airmen, Marines, coast guardsmen and civilians in Afghanistan have done...

Please make more of these sort of arrogant and dismissive speeches.

Brilliant.   Healer.  Reformer.  Magnanimous.

Words routinely used to describe Barack Obama, all of which have no basis in history, as documented by Victor Davis Hanson:

Barack Obama is a myth, our modern version of Pecos Bill or Paul Bunyan. What we were told is true, never had much basis in...

Obama grows shorter

I have posted numerous times before about Obama’s penchant for creating false choices in his speeches, invariably some non-existent supposedly conservative position versus his position. This enables Obama to knock down the conservative straw man and make his own position seem reasonable by contrast.  He’s a classic shorter.

It’s a cheap rhetorical trick,...
