Obama's Wall Street Donor Hypocrisy
Tweet Share on Facebook July 31, 2012 CommentVirtually every day, the Obama campaign tries to cast his opponent as some type of modern day robber baron. Gov. Mitt Romney's clear success in the private sector is a threat to President Barack Obama's attempt to sell the American public on another four years of dismal economic performance. Yet, when it comes to raising money for his own campaign, the president doesn't seem to blink about the source.

Solyndra, Cronyism, and Double-Dipping on the Taxpayers’ Dime
Tweet Share on Facebook July 23, 2012 CommentSolyndra became the poster child of spectacularly poor political and policy judgment when it filed for bankruptcy, laid off a thousand employees, and left taxpayers holding the bag on $535 million in loan guarantees.

Four Flaws in Obamacare
Tweet Share on Facebook July 3, 2012 CommentLast week's 5-4 healthcare decision by the Supreme Court was undoubtedly a short-term victory for President Barack Obama and has brought with it the requisite bump in poll numbers. Unfortunately, the win came at the price of revealing to all Americans the fact that the president's plan clearly breaks his promise not to raise taxes on the middle class. As this reality seeps through the consciousness of the country, his already unpopular plan is likely to fall further in the polls. Keep in mind that a poll released at the end of June showed that, if the Supreme Court upheld the law, 77 percent of Americans wanted Congress to go back to work to fix it. Even after the decision was made, a Gallup poll showed 49 percent of independents wanted all or part of the law repealed while 40 percent did not.
