New York Times reporters David Herszenhorn and Jackie Calmes reported on Obama’s politically calculated visit to the Tastee Sub Shop in Edison, N.J. in Thursday’s ” Obama Trumpets Party’s Small-Business Bona Fides .” The paper’s political team let Obama fully sell himself as a down-home populist by completely skipping (in the print edition) the fact that Obama would…

On Thursday’s CBS Early Show, senior White House correspondent Bill Plante praised President Obama taping an appearance on ABC’s ‘The View’ on Wednesday: “…the President is trying to reach people who may not normally pay attention to politics….It’s not the first time [he] has reached out to audiences beyond the Washington Beltway.” Plante went further, explaining: “…it is the beginning of the Democrats’ strategy to try to save their majority in Congress.” He touted how Obama “blamed Republicans for holding up a bill with tax cuts for small business” while visiting a New Jersey sandwich shop. Plante then highlighted the President’s fundraising ability: “Two fund-raisers in Manhattan on behalf of congressional Democrats….it …

Cross-posted to Liberty Central President Obama and the current Congressional leadership were swept into office on a wave of dissatisfaction with George Bush and a Republican Congress.

What set Debs off was not only my book announcement , but also my post from yesterday, “What’s So Strange About Socialism.” It’s interesting to be attacked for leveling a socialism charge by a writer who uses Eugene Victor Debs as a pseudonym .
It’s a bit ironic that President Obama would criticize “a comfort with the status quo” in his highly anticipated education speech at the National Urban League. The Obama education agenda, after all, has continued to reward those with a vested interest in the status quo. Case in point: Teachers’ unions have been allowed to set the high-water mark for reform in Race to the Top, the president’s $4.35 billion grant program. Over the past half century, the unions have been at the forefront of perpetuating the status quo in education…
