Today the Obama campaign unveiled "Forward," a seven-minute video highlighting his campaign strategy for the election: Similar to the 2008 concept, "Change," this one-word slogan captures a vague sense of movement without articulating a strategy, end, or principle. The movement this terms evokes is no more than...

Obama has been narrowing his targets for attack and derision ever since the 2008 campaign. Everywhere he looks, he finds some group to hold up for public scorn, and that group has narrowed from the top 5% to the top 2% to the top 1% to Wall...

Kay Hymowitz:  Why Women Make Less Than Men (h/t Instapundit): One stubborn fact of the labor market argues against the idea. That is the gender-hours gap, close cousin of the gender-wage gap. Most people have heard that full-time working American women earn only 77 cents for every dollar...

The RNC just released a video comparing Obama's Jimmy Fallon appearance with Mitt Romney's victory speech last night. I had thought about that comparison this morning when I watched the video of the Fallon appearance. Obama has turned the Office of the Presidency into a sight and...

In 2008, when Barack Obama was in the midst of a historic campaign to become the leader of the free world, he firmly positioned himself to be the man the American people could unite around. Time and time again, Presidential candidate Obama vowed to reach across...

Spooned: Mark Levin: "Obama, it would seem, wants to deny to others what he will not deny to himself. He wants to deny to the children of others what he will not deny to his own children. He wants to amass riches, but he doesn't want...

One of the many enduring myths and legends of the Obama 2008 victory is that Obama's record-breaking fundraising came from small donors.  Perpetuating the false impression that small donors are Obama's base is a priority of the Obama campaign, which now focuses on running low cost ($5, $3) dinner raffles...

Obama's targeting of demonized groups has been narrowing over time, something documented here since the 2008 campaign. Remember when the Top 5% were the target? Phew, that's so 2008. Then the Top 2%.  Phew, that's so 2009. Then the Top 1%.  Phew, that's so 2010. Then Wall Street.  Phew,...

Is this really happening again?  Is Mitt Romney refusing, even assuming he is the nominee which looks likely, to release any more tax returns? Romney released his 2010 return and projections for 2011 only after a disastrous couple of weeks of refusing to do so.  I predicted...

Notice how the Obama captured when he doesn't think he is being recorded is so differenct from campaign Obama.  The  "bitter clinger" remarks and the Netanyahu put-down are the most memorable. And there are the hot mic sound bites which the media won't release, like CBS refusing to...

Early on, Team Obama was bragging about raising $1 billion. When over the summer and fall fundraising did not seem to be all it should be, the confidence remained. Now, not so much.  Via The Hill: For some Obama supporters, the presidential campaign’s fundraising totals, released Monday, might have...

That's what David Axelrod tweeted then quickly deleted, as reported at The Atlantic: Obama strategist David Axelrod tweeted a not-quite-decipherable message Monday that included a link to a story about Mormon women being erroneously barred from some official ceremonies because they were menstruating.
