Class warfare has consequences

Posted by William A. Jacobson on August 09, 2011 24 Comments

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...

Wisconsin Recall

Posted by William A. Jacobson on August 09, 2011 6 Comments

Recall elections are being held today against six Republican State Senators. I feel like I've covered Wisconsin so much this year, today is somewhat anti-climactic. But it's not, it is very important. Unions need to win back three seats to take control of the majority in...

President Phony to attack Mitt Romney as phony

Posted by William A. Jacobson on August 09, 2011 14 Comments

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...

1959 was a very, very good year. More so than you know. Unless you were Cuban. Very, very good years are not always what they seem. Thanks to reader Jim who took this photo in Bradenton, Florida, of a bumper sticker which says "Cuba got 'Change' in...

Obama’s Address to the Nation: Draws line in sand, there must be no lines in sand other than the ones I draw

Posted by William A. Jacobson on August 08, 2011 33 Comments

Were we better off with the debt deal?

Posted by William A. Jacobson on August 07, 2011 13 Comments

Matt Lewis at The Daily Caller argues that taking a compromise deal allowed Republicans to avoid blame for the S&P downgrade (although David Axelrod and John Kerry are claiming otherwise) and any other negative consequences: In the few days since the debt ceiling was raised, the Dow has...
