So now we want the first woman president? The latest Gallup poll indicates that 14 percent of the people "moderately disapprove" of Barack Obama's performance as president and 39 percent "strongly disapprove." Since Obama won two presidential elections, chances are that some of those who now "strongly disapprove" of what he ... MORE

Is The President Incompetent Or Lawless?
by Andrew Napolitano. It has been well established under the Constitution and throughout our history that the president's job as the chief federal law enforcement officer permits him to put his ideological stamp on the nature of the work done by the executive branch. The courts have characterized this stamp as "discretion." ... MORE
Nick Gillespie: The Shittiest President Since World War II
The survey says: The
folks at Quinniapiac College have just released a new poll that
must surely be making the rounds of the White House bunker. After
talking to about 1,500 registered voters nationwide, Quinniapic
finds that one-third of Americans rate Barack Obama as the worst
president since 1945. Another 28 percent say George W. ... MORE
The 2016 Presidential Candidate We Need
by George F. Will. All modern presidents of both parties
have been too much with us. Talking incessantly, they have put politics
unhealthily at the center of America’s consciousness. Promising
promiscuously, they have exaggerated government’s proper scope and
actual competence, making the public perpetually disappointed and surly. Inflating ... MORE

Alexander Bolton: Is Rand Paul Plausible In 2016?
Can principles also be practical? Can Sen. Rand Paul really become the 45th president? His curly hair and slight frame aren’t a Hollywood casting agent’s idea of a commander in chief. But the freshman Republican senator from Kentucky rejects established norms; he’s on a declared mission to redefine the presidency and his own party. ... MORE

Matt Welch: Obama's Mourning In America
Presiding over diminished expectations. One of the best ways to survive the grotesque and empty power pageantry of Washington's annual State of the Union extravaganza is by visiting the University of California, Santa Barbara's online archive of past addresses and looking up the speeches that corresponded to where the current POTUS ...

Why Rand Paul Will Be The Next President
by Brent Hatley. What if liberty is a prime consideration? You have probably seen all of the ridiculous speculating about the GOP nomination in 2016. This is still speculating, but my sincere hope is you don’t think it’s ridiculous too. Kentucky Senator Rand Paul is laying the foundation for his presidential bid in concrete and steel. First, forget about ... MORE
Andrew Napolitano: An Unconscionable Silence
Our cowardly Congress. The political philosopher Edmund Burke once remarked that all that is necessary for the triumph of evil is for good folks to do nothing. A glaring example of the impending triumph of a constitutional evil that could be stopped by folks who have been largely silent is the tyranny coming from the White House. And the folks ... MORE
Nick Gillespie: Will Rand Paul Mainstream Libertarianism?
On his way to the White House. The Sunday morning talk shows are abuzz with disussion about
a long and interesting article about Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) in
The New York Times written by Sam Tanenhaus and Jim Rutenberg. I'm
not particularly familiar with Rutenberg's work, but Tanenhaus is a
really sharp historian of ideology in American ... MORE

Barry Farber: Tales Of Top Interpreters
Pretend it had all worked backwards. Pretend the president is routinely reading his routine briefing papers and everything looks routine – until he gets to one of the more minor details in his upcoming visit to the Nelson Mandela memorial earlier in December in South Africa. And there he reads: “The sign-language interpreter the South ... MORE
Walter E Williams: Blacks And Obama
The shadow cast by the president's failure. In a March 2008 column, I criticized pundits' concerns about whether America was ready for Barack Obama, suggesting that the more important issue was whether black people could afford Obama. I proposed that we look at it in the context of a historical tidbit. In 1947, Jackie Robinson, after ... MORE

Bob Livingston: The Extra-Constitutional President
Congress is abdicating its power. In delaying portions of Obamacare, President Barack Obama — the undocumented usurper currently occupying the people’s house — has taken on powers not granted him under the Constitution. This is very simple to understand, yet most people seem to be turning a blind eye to the fact. ... MORE
Monty Pelerin: Is The President Sane?
Obama's action go beyond mismanagement. Questions regarding President Obama’s competence have mostly been limited to management abilities, laziness, honesty and the like. Allison Martinez, however, opens an issue that many whisper about but dare not speak of publicly — his mental stability: Claims of grandeur that are ... MORE
AP: Obama Congratulates Pal On Election Win
Obama-light could represent GOP in 2016. President Barack Obama has called Republican Gov. Chris Christie to congratulate him on his re-election in New Jersey. Christie won a second term on Tuesday, defeating Democrat Barbara Buono by more than 20 percentage points. Obama and Christie have developed an unusually close ... MORE
