The […]

"From Day One: An Elevated Presidency"

I don’t know about you, but I can’t wait for this election to be concluded. Maybe it’s because I live in the New York City metro and we’ve been force-fed a dose of “real life”–right up in our face–this week, maybe its because we all need to focus on genuinely important priorities, but for whatever […]

Foreign Diplomacy Eruptions

During the debate, we went into some foreign territory. The election is going to be about the economy and the size of government, not foreign policy, but the task of a president—and, let’s not forget, a government—is most essentially to protect Americans.

Pressure on Obama for feisty debate

President Barack Obama said on Sunday his debate preparation was “going great” and aides said the Democrat would be more aggressive in his next face off with Mitt Romney after their last encounter gave the Republican challenger a boost. Since that first debate in Denver on October 3, polls indicate Romney has erased Obama’s lead […]

A Wise and Frugal King

Wednesday night, Americans witnessed the first debate between President Barack Obama and Governor Mitt Romney. By all accounts, Governor Romney soundly bested the failed president both on his command of the facts and in his demeanor. While seeing Governor Romney dominate the debate is very encouraging, it does not change the reality that America is […]

Media Revives the Bipartisanship Con

Yesterday’s Washington Post has a 3-pager purporting to show that independents favor cooperation between the two parties and less partisan warfare.
