So just to be clear, it’s constitutional to penalize or arrest someone for not showing proof of health insurance, but not to request proof of citizenship? If you are against the new anti-illegal immigration law in Arizona, try actually reading the bill. All it does is enforce the existing federal laws at the state level, [...]

From The Heritage Foundation: During the debate on and after the Obama economic stimulus bill  even some conservative economists were arguing the bill was needed to stabilize the economy.  Similar arguments followed every successive “jobs bill” Congress has enacted, despite the growing embarrassment of self-indictment implied by these bills.  It appears the economics profession may [...]

From CNSNews.com: When President Obama asked former Sen. Alan Simpson (R-Wyo.) and Democrat Erskine Bowles to chair his debt commission in February, he told them to consider any and all ways to reduce the federal deficit – including new taxes, apparently. Bowles, a former chief of staff in the Clinton White House, told Fox News [...]

From RenewAmerica.com: President Obama and ex-President Clinton are inadvertently stumbling toward the intersection of two seemingly unrelated events. That combination of circumstances could blow the lid off a huge cover-up of America’s biggest 20th-century terrorist attack. 1 — Clinton rhetoric This past week marked the 15th anniversary of the bombing that killed 168 innocent Americans [...]

From The Heritage Foundation: Yesterday, the actuaries at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), the agency that runs the giant entitlement programs, released their analysis of the new health care law. The AP reports that “White House officials have repeatedly complained that such analyses have been too pessimistic and lowball the law’s potential to [...]

From Telegraph.co.uk: President Barack Obama has played golf 32 times since he took office, eight more than his predecessor George W. Bush – who was mocked by the Left for his fondness for the game – did in his entire presidency. Mr Obama’s latest outing on the links came on Sunday, when an opportunity opened [...]

From The Heritage Foundation: The Obama Administration, the Democratic Congress, and their friends in organized labor are quick to blame unemployment on the trade deficit. Facts don’t support that assessment. The historical record shows a *positive* correlation between aggregate trade deficits and job creation – a trade deficit signifies *more* jobs. That’s because trade deficits [...]

From Townhall.com: That’s an interesting question the Washington Examiner’s J.P. Friere delved intotoday.  According to the Center for Responsive Politics, campaign contributions from Goldman Sachs employees to President Obama’s presidential election fund dwarfed donations from Enron workers to George W. Bush by seven times. We all remember how the press ripped the Bush administration for its ties to Enron [...]

From HumanEvents.com: Talk about taking another giant leap in the wrong direction. Fresh off his successful (for now) effort to ram through an unpopular healthcare “reform” law, President Barack Obama is now fighting for legislation on Capitol Hill that would set up a permanent fund to bail out companies in the financial sector. Of course, [...]

From The American Spectator: One detail was missing from President Obama’s list of qualifications for his nominee to replace John Paul Stevens on the Supreme Court: Any mention of the Constitution. He just doesn’t get it. At a time when Americans are furious over Obama’s headlong plunge into socialism, when his Democrat party is losing elections [...]

From All American Blogger: As I wrote at Pajamas Media, President Obama is currently on a Health Care Comedy Tour. He is addressing his myrmidons across this country and utilizing Saul Alinsky’s advice. This isn’t about logic or forming a coherent argument. This is about ridicule, “man’s most potent weapon.” Those are the words of the [...]

From World Net Daily: The CBS/New York Times Poll last week had some good news in it for Barack Obama. You had to search deep down in the 40-some pages of responses to find it. It was nowhere to be found in the reporting on the poll. This was a non-story for the New York [...]

From The Heritage Foundation: France’s tricolor, Britain’s Union Jack and even Croatia’s coat of arms have been lifted above those nation’s installations in Haiti. But in the United States camp, “whose contributions dwarf the rest of the world’s,” no flag is allowed to fly. Why? The Obama administration has forbidden it. USA Today reports: The lack of [...]

From HumanEvents.com: President Barack Obama is often seen wearing a battered White Sox cap to let the world know he’s not just a baseball fan, but a dedicated follower of Chicago’s working-class, gritty South Siders rather than the more genteel cross-town Cubs. Baseball, like politics, is not taken lightly by real fans, and particularly not [...]

From GOPUSA.com: President Barack Obama said Thursday he’s amused by the anti-tax tea party protests that have been taking place around Tax Day. Obama told a fundraiser in Miami that he’s cut taxes, contrary to the claims of protesters. “You would think they’d be saying thank you,” he said. At that, many in the crowd [...]

From The Heritage Foundation: The Obama Administration’s signature K-12 education program, Race to the Top, has gotten a lot of press in the last couple weeks with the announcement of first-round winners Tennessee and Delaware. But for all the hullabaloo and homework it’s created for states, Race to the Top represents only a small part of [...]

From NewsMax.com: The new healthcare law is “absolutely” unconstitutional, says Robert Alt, senior legal fellow at the Heritage Foundation. “There an awful lot of constitutional difficulties with the bill as it was passed,” he told Newsmax.TV. The first issue is the mandate that most every citizen must purchase a health insurance plan or be taxed, [...]

From Michelle Malkin: As you know, the Sage of 1600 Pennsylvania took a snippy shot at Sarah Palin yesterday over his nuclear policy: “I really have no response,” he told ABC News. “Because last I checked, Sarah Palin’s not much of an expert on nuclear issues.” Someone get him a skin thickener, stat. It’s funny. Not [...]

From World Net Daily: Editor’s Note: Shortly after this WND report was posted, NPR changed its web page to delete the reference to “Kenyan-born” Sen. Obama. Those crazy “birthers” are citing National Public Radio. Really? NPR? Archives for the tax-supported organization reveal that a 2008 report described then-Sen. Barack Obama as “Kenyan-born”  and a “son [...]

From NewsMax.com: Leading national security expert Frank Gaffney has a few choice words for President Barack Obama’s policies on the production and use of nuclear weapons: “reckless,” “dangerous,” “irresponsible,” “ill-advised,” “very risky,” and “catastrophic.” Gaffney, founder and president of the Center for Security Policy, also tells Newsmax that Obama is taking “considerable risks” with Americans’ [...]
