Fact Check: Obama claims to have created over 6 millions jobs. That does not count the hemorrhaging of jobs in the early part of his administration--funny. He starts counting when the most people were out of work--NOT at the beginning of his term. So really, net job creation for Obama: 1.2 million.
Read MoreMy SOTU Prediction: Hyper-Partisan Demogoguery
A lot of folks would argue that the SOTU is not the appropriate venue for "throwing down the gauntlet," or engaging in demogoguery of one party, but you can bet that's what we'll get tonight.
Read MoreUnder Obama Drone Hits Skyrocket, Compared to Bush
A little perspective for those who say Obama is embracing President Bush's policies regarding drones: As of September, 2012, Barack Obama had authorized six times as many drone strikes as George W. Bush did in his eight years in office. As a result, "the number of estimated deaths from the Obama administration's drone strikes is more than four times what it was during the Bush administration."
Read MoreQuick Scorn for Bipartisan "Amnesty" Plan
U.S. Rep. Lamar Smith, Republican from Texas, criticized the proposal as well, saying that “No one should be surprised that individuals who have supported amnesty in the past still support amnesty.”
Read MoreObama Will Play Hardball on Immigration
On no topic has Obama been more divisive, more intentionally damning of Republican morality and decency, than on immigration.
Read MoreLet Us Defend Our Children
Many American women have a healthy skepticism of the government's ability to defend them at all times. They want the ability to do it themselves. Read More
Obama's Bullhorn Met By Republican Whimper
R's met the president's bull horn on Monday with a whimper. "Huge, huge problem" [McConnell] and "the consequences are real"[Boehner] are not going to capture the hearts and minds of the American people. And these timid, oh-so-restrained, diplomatic words of Republican leaders are not effective in combating the over-the-top, emotional, effective vilifying language of the president. Time for a game change. Real, real fast.
Read More"It's Time Congress Gets a Backbone"
As if it weren't clear already, Jay Carney confirmed yesterday that President Obama has no interest--zero, zip--in reducing the deficit and cutting the debt when he said "deficit reduction is not a worthy goal unto itself."
Read MoreReid to Obama: Ignore Congress, Destroy Opposition
In the face of the fraudulent attacks and browbeatings, the Republican strategy is not working because they don't have one, other than appeasement. Time for the hand-wringing and cowering to stop. . . . Obama's goals are twofold: destroy Republican opposition and fundamental transformation. If conservative and Republican leaders don't step up fast, he'll get both.
Read MoreObama Taking Aim at Private Gun Sales
I was chastised a few days ago by Media Matters (I know, it's always a good day when Media Matters comes after you) for claiming on Fox and Friends (falsely, they say) that Obama wants to halt private gun sales. Let's see about that. . . .
Read MoreObama's Boys' Club "Embarrassing as Hell."
With the new makeup of the Cabinet looking like it will have zero women in it, I seriously doubt this obvious PR effort will work. Rep. Charlie Rangel (D-NY) today said the Cabinet situation is "embarrassing as hell." I'll say. War on Women? Where are those binders?
Read MoreObama's "Skewed" White House
But there is no question about it: Barack Obama, for all his pandering to women during the election, has demonstrated a marked preference to being surrounded by men.
Read MoreFrench "Tax Hell": Wake Up, America?
The punitive 75% French tax on millionaires came crashing down today as the high court ruled that it is unconstitutional because of its flagrant unfairness. Finally, some semblance of sanity.
Read MoreMy latest from Human Events: Who Benefits from Going Off the Fiscal Cliff?
Obama is much better at the blame game. He has spent four years laying the groundwork for this. Republicans want to balance the budget on the backs of parents of children with disabilities in order to protect millionaires and billionaires. They take the American people hostage to achieve their ends. Number two Democrat in the House, Steny Hoyer played right along, saying the Republicans are like people who take their own child hostage and threaten to shoot them if they don’t get what they want.
