In the 2008 presidential election, 131 million votes were cast. Barack Obama received 9,522,083 million more votes than did John McCain. A swing of less than 5 million votes would have put Mr. McCain, rather than Barack Obama, in the White House.
What I Learned on Our 700-Mile, Four-State Harley Tour
In Obama’s Two Economies, Daniel Henninger wrote, “For Mr. Obama there is no such thing as the American economy. Instead, there are two Americas with separate economies-one public, the other private. … Because Mr. Obama and his circle divide the economy into two parts, with the private economy merely a satellite orbiting the public sun, […]
“This is Not Class Warfare, It’s Math” – President Barack Obama
The president offers “a plan that asks the most fortunate among us to pay their fair share like everybody else.” One wonders if President Obama’s “everybody else” includes the 50 million Americans on welfare or perhaps the nearly 50% of Americans who pay no income taxes.

Raspberries and Duck Lips
President Obama throws up his jobs pitch on a Thursday night, and America responds with what amounts to raspberries and duck lips by slamming the Dow with a 303-point down crack on Friday. America is fed up with “change you can count on,” as the change witnessed to date has had a horror tag stapled […]

The Reagan Library Republican Debate Scorecard
Who had the sun tanning booth concession Wednesday night? The candidates were simply glowing. On a more serious note, why would Republicans want to conduct a debate hosted by the left-wing MSNBC?
