President ’08
From The Corner: Obama says we shouldn’t allow people to shop for insurance across state lines because some states allow health insurers to exploit nefarious loopholes. Doesn’t this argue for, not against, letting people in shop across state lines to get more favorable coverage? In other words, if you are trapped in a state where…
From TaxProfBlog, with H/T to Instapundit: Hundreds of economists (including Nobel Prize winners Gary Becker, James Buchanan, Robert Mundell, Edward Prescott, and Vernon Smith) have signed letters opposing Barack Obama’s economic and tax plans (here, here, and here): We are equally concerned with his proposals to increase tax rates on labor income and investment. His…
Jennifer Rubin: …GOP angst about the McCain team is bubbling over: make character an issue or don’t, come up with a comprehensive economic plan or don’t. It’s the indecision and half-heartedness that are so frustrating. Few would quibble with Bill Kristol’s assessment that “it’s really become a pathetic campaign in the sense that there’s no…
(The first was American. This one is African.) NewsBusters’s Kerry Picket asks When Will The MSM Report On Obama’s Support for Kenyan Tyrant Raila Odinga? In 2006, US Senator Barack Obama went to Kenya (at the expense of the American taxpayer) and campaigned for Raila Odinga, a man running for the presidency of that country.…
Have I mentioned that I’m glad to see Mark Steyn columns again? With his latest, I laughed: Gaze into the giant zero of the Obama logo, the hole in the star-spangled donut, the vast fathomless nullity that is the gaping keyhole to the door of utopia. To a sad shriveled Republican cynic, there’s nothing there…
In the wayback, I kinda enjoyed Northern Exposure, especially the quirky Alaskan Maggie O’Connell as portrayed by Janine Turner. Turner is a big Sarah Palin fan, pro-life and conservative. I was always so proud to portray the spunky, self-reliant, smart Maggie O’Connell. Maggie flew her own plane, shot her own moose, marched to the beat…
Charles Krauthammer on Obama & Friends: Judge Not?. Kimberly Strassel on Obama’s Magic. Mark Halperin interviews Obama spokesman Gibbs about when Obama knew about Ayers’ terrorist past. Andy McCarthy has more and Jonah Goldberg adds these thoughts. [ADDENDUM: Andy McCarthy puts the Ayers matter in perspective, elaborating on its implications for Obama.] Washington Times on…
About a decade ago, Obama worked for ACORN (yes he did, really) and now it appears they’re doing everything to work for him…. In Ohio. In Wisconsin. In Michigan. In Pennsylvania. In Missouri. In Nevada. In Indiana (105% voter registration!). Maybe in Connecticut? Best of all, you paid for it!
As Anthony pointed out at the tail-end of our debate blog, a new Zogby poll shows Obama’s margin shrinking. Of particular note is that his lead went entirely into the “Others/Not sure” column. That’s why I’m not buying the spin that McCain had to do very well last night (even though the poll was conducted…
… by commenter BobC who, under Justin’s post “Obama’s Nightmare in Passing”, points out To be sure if McCain should pass during his time in office, all Palin has to do is pick her “Biden” for Vice-President. That would take care of her lack of experience. It seems to have worked for Obama.
