In his rather "prickly" press conference on Wednesday, President Obama made it sound as if tax increases (or, to use the Democrats' language, "cutting spending in the tax code") were part of a last resort at trimming the deficit as the federal government reaches its...

I have referred to Obama's $5 dinner promotion as a "raffle."   I am not alone, as virtually every major news organization has used the same terminology. Under any common understanding, it is a raffle, you pay money for a chance to win.  Payment of money is...

The Barack Obama we saw at the press conference earlier this week, the one who inspired the controversial comment by Mark Halperin, is the real Barack Obama. The Barack Obama of 2008 was a charade. It only serves our interest to draw out the real Barack Obama,...

If you noticed, when Dominique Strauss-Kahn was arrested for the alleged sexual assault on a maid at a hotel in New York, I didn't join in, almost alone in the blogosphere. Something didn't seem right. The story was too neat, and too couched in political correctness....

As mentioned yesterday, Obama not only is running a cheesy $5 raffle fundraising stunt, he also is pushing donors hard to contribute something, even if it's only $5, before the June 30 fundraising period closes.  Whether to pad the dollar amounts or the numbers of donors,...

Mark Halperin confirmed my impression of Obama's divisive, dismissive and demeaning performance at his press conference yesterday: The interesting thing for me is not that Halperin thought it, but that he said it thinking it would not make it to the airwaves. Compare such a...

Is there any doubt that if Obama could do it on his own, Jerusalem would be divided and Israel forced back to the 1949 armistice borders?  A point I have made before is that the real danger comes in a second term, when he is freed of...
