THE VAN JONES MATTER

WASHINGTON -- So Van Jones, the defenestrated White House green-jobs czar, once called Republicans "a--holes." Big deal. I've said worse about Democrats. I've said worse about Republicans. I've said worse about members of my family...

Listening to a Liar: Part II

"Hubris-laden charlatans" was the way a recent e-mail from a reader characterized the Obama administration. That phrase seems especially appropriate for the Charlatan-in-Chief, Barack Obama, whose speech to a joint session of Congress was both...

Obama's Nothing New, Partisan Screed

The president has been beaten about the head and shoulders regarding health care reform the last few months. The American people don't like what they have been hearing and reading about a public option because they know full well it would steer large...

SOWELL: Listening to a Liar

Obama Cannot Escape Hard Choices in September

"Very active." That's what White House aides say Barack Obama is going to be this month. That's probably an understatement. Obama faces September deadlines on three issues, on each of which he could get himself in political trouble,...

Labor Day Weekend Thoughts

It’s Labor Day Weekend, another three-day break full of cookouts, picnics, golf outings, baseball games and college football games. I suspect most of you will be celebrating with one of those events. Of course, it’s probably as good a time...
