The multiple coersions of Rev. Wright

The story grows deeper daily. Byron York writes: At another point in the interview with Klein, Wright discussed the book he hoped to create. “What I was going to write on the Barack Obama thing was what it was like being the pastor of the one who ended up being the first African-descended president,” Wright [...]

Laundry

What a mess! Jeremiah Wright might still bring Obama down. He’s back. And this time, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright threatens to engulf President Obama in a major scandal – one that could doom his re-election. Edward Klein in his recent biography of Mr. Obama, “The Amateur,” interviewed Mr. Wright about the president’s past. On tape and on the record, Mr. Wright claims that [...]

Obamacare mandate forces first Catholic college to drop insurance coverage

What happened to “if you like your coverage you can keep it,” eh? Oh, the ramifications. Gotta pass that bill to know what’s in it. Steven Ertelt has the skinny: Franciscan University appears to be the first casualty of the new Obama HHS mandate that requires Catholic colleges, groups and businesses to pay for drugs [...]

Change: For the first time since Depression, more Mexicans leave U.S. than enter

The border isn’t any stronger, folks. So what does this really mean? Oh: our economy is that bad. What an accomplishment! From the clueless WaPo: According to the report, the Mexican-born population, which had been increasing since 1970, peaked at 12.6 million in 2007 and has dropped to 12 million since then. The reversal appears [...]

How about “We changed it, all right!”

We just hoped you wouldn’t notice! Apparently the Obami are having a tough time coming up with a fitting slogan this go-round. Via Politico: Everyone knows what Barack Obama’s campaign slogan was in 2008. No one seems to  know what it will be for 2012. The White House has been cycling through catchphrases since announcing [...]

Obamanomics: a swing and a miss

Oh, yea! proclaimed the headlines. The unemployment rate has dropped! For those who don’t read beyond the headlines, there’s more to the story. Behold: James Pethokoukis: Swing and a miss.

And it’s not even April first

Who’s foolin’ who? Try it. And giggle. Type the URL ”socialists.com” or “communists.com” and be redirected to Obama for America’s site where you’ll be prompted to answer whether you like Obamacare: It’s the two-year anniversary of the Affordable Care Act. Since then, the law that almost everyone calls Obamacare has been doing exactly what the other side has [...]

Make this a Memeorandum thread and do the job of the MSM: HHS finalizes Obamacare $1/mo abortion coverage

Or, as Pundette says in Finding Out What’s In It: I don’t think the majority of Americans are going to be pleased with this. They may or may not be okay with abortion, but do they really want the blood on their own hands, per order of the federal government? Isn’t there a law against that? [...]

He’s not the solution to your problem, Mayor Kirk

A Democrat mayor of Gloucester, Massachusetts has witnessed what “hope” and “change” can do to a town, and begs Obama to intercede: I wonder how much “hope” Mayor Kirk has that the direct job-killing policies of the Obama Administration will cease and desist. I honestly wonder how self-identified liberals can remain so in the face of its [...]

It doesn’t take an expert

Alternate headline: Obama makes like Charlie Sheen to win in ’12! Allahpundit headlined this yesterday: Elections expert who’s called every presidential race since ’84: Obama will win. “Even if I am being conservative,” Allan Lichtman says, “I cannot see how Obama will lose.” Really? The headline at US News & World Report does even more [...]
