Barack Obama
Soft Thinking, Hard Problems
The Obama administration's 2015 National Security Strategy is a revealing document, even if it reveals through inadvertence.
We Would Miss Obamacare
Thanks to the Affordable Care Act, at least 10 million fewer Americans are uninsured. The drop in the nation’s uninsured rate is the largest since the early 1970s.
Obama's Breakfast Prayer
If a president says anything critical about what Christians may have done at any point in history, he's destined to be attacked for engaging in “moral equivalence."

Obama: Damn the Torpedoes

Real Politics, Anyone?
Identifying and putting together different constituencies is nothing new in politics. But in recent decades it’s become a new religion, especially among Democrats.
