Ask not what your predecessors can do for you ...
Don’t know much about history … Barack Obama’s attempt to insert himself into the history of his predecessors got a rousing reaction yesterday — consisting mainly of scorn and ridicule. The entire effort qualifies as an Obamateurism simply for its naked narcissism and obvious self-centeredness. But even within the overall effort were a couple of [...]
Challenges.
Fifty-six percent of Americans think Barack Obama will win the 2012 presidential election, compared with 36% who think Mitt Romney will win. Democrats are more likely to believe that Obama will win than Republicans are to believe Romney will. Independents are nearly twice as likely to think that Obama, rather than Romney, will prevail. *** [...]
Favorability now virtually even.
USA Today leads the analysis of its joint poll with Gallup on the news that people have become more optimistic on the economy, and that’s good news for Barack Obama. More people think Obama will win re-election as well, although at least so far, USAT doesn’t say whether Obama actually leads in the poll. But [...]
Plus, a man of inaction.
Last week, Barack Obama finished “evolving” on same-sex marriage with his statement endorsing legalization. Entirely coincidentally, that was just in time for a big Hollywood fundraiser at George Clooney’s mansion that raised $15 million for Team Obama’s coffers after reports of anger in the entertainment industry began to percolate in the media. Two-time Pulitzer Prize [...]
Insecurity much?
If you haven’t gotten enough of Barack Obama lecturing on constitutional law, just wait until you get a chance to read the White House’s take on presidential history. Rory Cooper at the Heritage Foundation was the first to notice that the Obama administration edited the official presidential histories on the White House website to include [...]
You're so Bain?
Consider this balance for MSNBC. After the Morning Joe panel openly scoffed at the Barack Obama campaign’s attack ad on Bain Capital yesterday, Hardball came to Obama’s rescue in the evening. Chris Matthews chatted with David Corn and Time’s Mark Halperin about how difficult it will be for Mitt Romney to defend his years at [...]

Chapter 11.
It’s been a while since we looked in on LightSquared, the firm that wanted to roll out a terrestrial cell network on a part of the spectrum reserved for low-powered satellite transmissions. The FCC gave LightSquared, a firm with significant connections to Barack Obama, a temporary waiver to proceed while testing took place to see [...]

The 23 million.
Team Romney continues to hammer Barack Obama on the economy with their new video spot, “A Few of the 23 Million.” The spot focuses on Iowa, where three people represent the 23 million Americans who are out of work, underemployed, or who have simply given up all hope for economic change. It’s a bleak picture, [...]

Clingers ... and ringers.
In 2008, a video taken by a cell phone at a San Francisco fundraiser cost Barack Obama the Pennsylvania primary when it caught the candidate claiming that rural voters bitterly cling to guns and religion in tough times, as well as their xenophobia, as an explanation of why he wasn’t polling well in the Keystone [...]
Plus, demands that insurers promote ObamaCare law.
Two stories coming from Health and Human Services will likely get overlooked today, with the main thrust of conversation turning to same-sex marriage and Barack Obama’s hypocritical attack on Mitt Romney and Bain Capital. Both deserve more attention, especially a curious award of a contract worth nearly $6 million to a crony of Obama’s back [...]
3 pm ET!
Today, on the Ed Morrissey Show (3 pm ET), Kevin McCullough joins us again to discuss the intersection of faith and politics. Kevin and I will talk about the impact of Barack Obama’s statement last week on same-sex marriage, how Romney might benefit from ire among social conservatives, and the continued tone-deafness of the Left. [...]
“He has said to his base, African-Americans, ‘I am going against your beliefs and your thoughts.’”
And so it begins. Yesterday, my friend Deacon Greg Kendra asked his readers whether they had heard anything in their Catholic parishes about Barack Obama’s endorsement of same-sex marriage; I didn’t in mine, but it was Mother’s Day, on which our pastor focused. In Baltimore, at least, it was a little different — and much [...]
$2 billion says no.
Recently, Barack Obama has refrained from mentioning Dodd-Frank as one of his big accomplishments as President. That’s fortunate, because had Obama used that as a campaign claim this month, the huge loss taken by JP Morgan and one-time Obama ally Jamie Dimon would have done serious damage. As it is, Politico wonders whether Obama might [...]

No halos from the churches.
Barney Frank told the panel on ABC’s This Week that “I don’t think anyone’s vote was changed” when Barack Obama endorsed the legalization of same-sex marriage — but that might be too optimistic an analysis. The New York Times reports that the White House went on a charm offensive with leaders of faith organizations, including [...]
Hypocrisy.
Barack Obama’s campaign has a new ad and a new micrsosite to go with it, both freshly minted today. The ad is titled “Steel,” and it attacks Mitt Romney on the closure of a steel plant after Bain took over, with the attendant job losses that occurred. It’s an expected line of attack — Newt [...]

Forgetfulness.
We had so many good candidates for OOTDs last week, we really didn’t have time to get to the classic entry that Barack Obama created all on his own on Thursday: Obviously, the first level of Obamateurism in this clip is giving Republicans a sound bite that will fit neatly into both TV spots and [...]
Shark jumped. Bridges burned. Bread toasted.
Are you kidding me? I get that Andrew Sullivan is a man with an agenda and I completely support his right to make his opinions heard. I also understand that Newsweek – like any other publication – is in business to make a profit and that frequently involves pushing the envelope in terms of catching [...]
And I said, ‘No, what’s my problem?’ And he said, ‘You have to tell the truth.’
Hey, guess who’s back? In his new book on Barack Obama titled The Amateur, Edward Klein caught up with Jeremiah Wright, Obama’s minister and friend for 20 years and pastor of Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago. The Hillary Clinton campaign nearly derailed Obama’s nomination by digging up Wright’s incendiary and controversial sermons at [...]
Desperate for cash?
Barack Obama insists that corporations and lobbyists will have nothing to do with funding the Democratic National Convention, a requirement that has put convention organizers into an $20-million hole. They recently tried to get unions to fill the gap, but apparently didn’t get much response from their sales pitch. On Thursday, the co-chair of the [...]
Memory.
Yesterday, Barack Obama told an audience at a campaign rally that “sometimes I forget” the magnitude of the recession … and today, the RNC wants to make sure everyone remembers this quote. Their rapid-response team already has a video spot up less than 24 hours later, complete with somber, funereal music and the obvious data [...]
"It means nobody can run for President."
Not just the timing, either. Joe Scarborough also questions the prominence of the Washington Post hit piece, as well as its relevance. Mediaite captures the discussion on Morning Joe this morning, as Joe scoffs at the media reaction to Barack Obama’s “big nothingburger” of an evolutionary statement (via Freedom’s Lighthouse): “It means nobody can run [...]
What happens when you end up on Obama's enemies list.
Allahpundit e-mailed me this today, calling it “a perfect end to Bully Week.” While the media ties itself in knots over an alleged incident of bullying in 1965 involving Mitt Romney, the Wall Street Journal’s Kimberly Strassel reports on how ending up on Barack Obama’s enemies list brings out the bullies on the Left. Frank [...]
Bad week at the O corral.
A bad jobs report and an evolution out of the mainstream didn’t do any favors for Barack Obama’s standing in the presidential race against Mitt Romney. Rasmussen’s daily tracking poll shows Obama dropping back seven points in the three-day rolling average, while Romney hits the 50% mark for the first time: The Rasmussen Reports daily [...]
