Obama’s ‘Bounce’ That Wasn’t

“To put it as bluntly as possible, the economy sucks, and the attempt by Democrats to exculpate Obama for this situation — to place the blame on Republicans, or to say that the economy would suck even worse if Romney were elected — is perhaps more difficult than Nate Silver’s statistics suggest.” — Robert Stacy […]

Obama Campaign Fundraising Claim Deserves More Than a Few Grains of Salt

August was not yet over when word got around during the Republican convention in Tampa that Romney and the GOP had raised more than $100 million in August — their third consecutive month of nine-digit fundraising.

Interviewed by Norah O’Donnell on CBS, the Republican vice presidential candidate stays focused and slams home his point: “You know, what we have learned in this presidency, [President Obama] says one thing and he does another.

Cherokee People, Cherokee Tribe: Elizabeth Warren Can’t Hide Her Lies

Poll: Most Voters Aren’t That Stupid

Unfortunately for the Democrats: A majority of voters believe the country is worse off today than it was four years ago and that President Obama does not deserve reelection, according to a new poll for The Hill.
