| On the night President Obama won re-election, he employed the same soaring rhetoric about a unified America that first won him national attention and that he´s sure to trot out in his second inaugural speech on Monday. He talked that night about how "despite our differences, most of us share certain hopes for America´s future," and how he was "looking forward to reaching out and working with leaders of both parties to meet the challenges we can only solve together." He promised that "we are not as divided as our politics suggests," and "not as cynical as the pundits believe."

Obama´s cronies who cried that there is no voter fraud need to see how a Florida town can vote 158% of ´voters´...NOW is the time to do something about voter ID...we have to show ID to buy or legally carry a firearm amongst the many things that require proof of who we are but still can get away with voting three or four times and NOT show ID...enough is enough or we will lose the House to another stolen election.

The GOP would really have to screw things up to lose the House. Yes, state-wide races can be ´won´ by massive cheating in the inner city areas. While that gets you the Senate, that cheating can only net you so many House seats. Cheating in suburban and rural areas is much more difficult - although not impossible where absentee ballots are involved.
Further, many of the Congressional districts have been made more GOP friendly since the GOP has taken over so many governorships and state houses since the last 2000 redistricting.

The GOP are well on their way to handing the House back to the Dems. I don`t think they wanted it in the first place. That`s why Boehner cried during the 60 Minutes interview. He realized he would be the Speaker and knew he couldn`t handle it.

Get on and stay on the offensive. When your position is indefensible, don´t defend it. Rather than defend, go on offense. Try to change the subject. Deride anyone who questions your position. Accuse the questioners of being racist/bigoted/homophobic/insensitive/offensive. Make up things if you have to. The MSM will eat up what you have to say and will widely print/broadcast it. The MSM will then bury any retractions/corrections they offer in response to your ravings. That is the first set of rules practiced by politicians -- of every stripe. The strategy has

Recently, President Obama, with Valerie Jarrett in tow, graced the podium at Morehouse College to deliver the keynote speech at the historically all-male black liberal arts institution´s commencement ceremonies. Morehouse´s alumni include notables such as actors/Obama bootlickers Spike Lee and Samuel L. Jackson, as well as non-bootlicker Herman Cain. Without the assistance of a Marine to shield him from the rain, Obama put on his best "in the house" accent and greeted distinguished guests and 2013 graduates. Then, after talking about hair and Michelle´s feelings about rain, the president bestowed dispensational entitlement

President Obama believed that opposition to his healthcare reform law would fade after the 2010 election, according to former Sen. Olympia Snowe (R-Maine). Obama courted Snowe’s support in an attempt to make the bill bipartisan. He assured her GOP opposition to the law would be short-lived, she said. “He thought the opposition to it would lessen after the [2010] election. I said, ‘It’s just the beginning.’ I said, ‘It’s going to grow because I can tell you it’s not going to go away and it’s going to get worse,’” Snowe said in a radio interview

While Obama hit the links for his 123rd round of golf since entering office (Sunday´s foursome included Kathleen Sebelius, HHS Secretary and the subject of one of the week´s non-scandal scandals), White House senior advisor Dan Pfeiffer hit the Sunday talk-show circuit. Reminiscent of Susan Rice´s Sunday talk-show blitz during which she lied to the American people about what happened in Benghazi on September 11, 2012, Pfeiffer paraded from show to show in attempts to clean up Obama´s messy week. It felt a bit like "Sesame Street" as it became clear that the word of the day was "irrelevant."

The Fox News Channel is outraged over new revelations that three of its reporting staffers were targeted by the U.S. Department of Justice in criminal investigations related to their attempts to obtain information from government sources. James Rosen, the network´s chief Washington correspondent, has become a First Amendment cause celebre over his treatment by the Obama administration. But the DOJ, Fox says, also investigated the Emmy Award-winning investigative reporter William La Jeunesse and Fox News producer Mike Levine. Rosen, according to affidavits filed by FBI agents, was considered a possible criminal co-conspirator The Washington Post reported Monday morning that Rosen

The White House on Monday once again added to the list of people who knew about the IRS investigation into its targeting of conservative groups — saying White House chief of staff Denis McDonough had been informed about a month ago. Press secretary Jay Carney said again that no one had told President Barack Obama ahead of the first news reports: not his top aide McDonough, nor his chief counsel Kathy Ruemmler, nor anyone from the Treasury Department. Monday’s revelation amounts to the fifth iteration of the Obama administration’s account of events, after initially saying that the White House had first

Senior White House officials, including Chief of Staff Denis McDonough, learned last month about a review by the Treasury Department’s inspector general into whether the Internal Revenue Service targeted conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status, but they did not inform President Obama, the White House said Monday. The acknowledgement is the White House’s latest disclosure in a piecemeal, sometimes confusing release of details concerning the extent to which White House officials knew of the IG’s findings that IRS officials engaged in the “inappropriate” targeting of conservative non-profits for heightened scrutiny. Previously, the White House said counsel Kathryn

PRESIDENT OBAMA: You are the mantle of Frederick Douglass and Booker T. Washington and Ralph Bunche and Langston Hughes and George Washington Carver and Ralph Abernathy and Thurgood Marshall and, yes, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. These men were many things to many people and they knew full well the role that racism played in their life.

WASHINGTON – The Internal Revenue Serviced scandal today spread further within the White House and closer to President Obama. White House spokesman Jay Carney today disclosed that Obama’s chief of staff, Dennis McDonough, and other top White House officials had advance warning that the IRS was targeting conservative groups. But he insisted McDonough and the other White House officials purposely kept Obama out of the loop.McDonough “rightly chose not to take action” to inform Obama, Carney told reporters at the daily White House briefing.

The Washington Post on Monday reported that Obama’s Department of Justice was investigating journalists before they started wiretapping the Associated Press – for one, Fox News correspondent James Rosen in 2010. Their headline wasn´t "Obama Team Also Spied on Fox News." Fox wasn´t in the headline, on A-1 or on A-12, where the story continued. Newly obtained court documents “reveal how deeply investigators explored the private communications of a working journalist — and raise the question of how often journalists have been investigated as closely as Rosen was in 2010.” Reporter Ann Marimow began:

A senior adviser to President Obama mounted a combative defense of the administration on Sunday, saying the controversies enveloping the White House were the result of Republican lawmakers’ trying to “drag Washington into a swamp of partisan fishing expeditions, trumped-up hearings and false allegations.”The remarks came from Dan Pfeiffer, a member of the president’s inner circle, as he appeared on all five major Sunday morning talk shows in an effort to move the administration past what commentators have described as a “hell week” of controversy and missteps.

Stuart Varney said this morning on "Varney & Co." that one of his producers was given a questionnaire with some surprisingly intrusive questions on it when he switched doctors. One of the questions was whether he/she was concerned about unsecured weapons in the home. Another asked whether he/she was "in a relationship in which you have been physically hurt or are you afraid of your partner?" Judge Andrew Napolitano explained that the question about guns comes out of a post-Sandy Hook executive order by President Obama, but it will be required under Obamacare. Varney expressed amazement

WASHINGTON – White House senior adviser Dan Pfeiffer said Sunday Republicans owe Susan Rice, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, an apology for alleging she played a part in formulating the White House’s response to the attacks in Benghazi, Libya, last year that killed four Americans. Pfeiffer said on ABC’s “This Week” that the release of more than 100 pages of Benghazi emails and notes show “beyond a shadow of the doubt” that accusations she tried to change the narrative of what happened in the attacks was false. "And, frankly, I think that many of the Republicans
