Heidi Harris: The Rat In Obama's Maze
Is someone leaving the building? It goes without saying that President Obama has no grasp of even basic economics.

MORERich Lowry: Government's War On Lemonade

Politicians quibble while real disaster looms. A funny thing happened on the way to a resolution over raising the nation’s credit limit: The most basic definitions of easy-to-understand words such as “spending,” “increase” and “budget cuts” went out the window faster than Anthony Weiner’s political career. The debt ceiling, which has been set by Congress since 1917, is ... MORETaxpayers To Fund Obama Campaign Swing

Coming soon: The Interview. “Where are you going? What is the purpose of your trip? Where will you be staying? Who will you see there?
