John Podesta, chief executive officer of the liberal Center for American Progress, may be President Obama's closest confidant outside of the administration -- he ran the transition and has visited the White House at least 37 times according to visitor logs. Tony Podesta, John's brother, is a corporate lobbyist and a leading fundraiser for Democrats. Read More

The allegation that Al Gore sexually assaulted a woman in a Portland, Ore., hotel room nearly four years ago has dealt a serious blow to the former vice president's story that he and wife Tipper simply "grew apart" after 40 years of marriage. Read More

Obama disappoints even lowered expectations

By: Chris Stirewalt 06/28/10 12:00 AM
The second phase of the great American disillusionment with Barack Obama is complete. The president fell to Earth a year ago after his stratospheric rise because Americans came to see that he was like other politicians. Read More

Americans relate to Founders, not Progressives

By: Michael Barone 06/27/10 12:00 AM
Democrats are reportedly planning to raise $125 million for a campaign to sell Obamacare to the voting public. Apparently the idea is that what 50-plus presidential speeches and statements and months of congressional debate could not do can be done by $125 million spent on everything from TV ads to community organizers.

Maybe a $150 billion company with 21,000 employees and 20 percent profit margins doesn't count as big business or a special interest if it talks about "changing the world from the bottom up, not from the top down," as President Obama put it. Maybe a millionaire who spends his days leaning on policymakers to benefit his company isn't a lobbyist if he calls himself an "Internet evangelist." Read More

Small-government insurgents may save the GOP

Republicans may manage to find a way to fail in the most favorable political climate for their party since the New Deal Democratic majority got bounced out on its ration book in 1946. But the signs for November continue to point to an absolute thrashing for the Democrats and, more surprising, a revitalization of Republicanism. Read More

Mark Tapscott: Big Government is dying in the Gulf oil spill UPDATED!

It's not just millions of gallons of black gold spilling into the Gulf of Mexico that are being lost. Also disappearing into watery despair are the last shreds of credibility for progressive Big Government. It's Day 65 of the Deepwater Horizon spill and the only hope of stopping the flow of thick, gooey crude remains the relief well being drilled by the private sector. Read More

Whether he likes it or not, Obama must command

By: Michael Barone 06/23/10 12:00 AM
We didn't need this. By "we" I mean the large majority of citizens who want America to succeed in Afghanistan. By "this" I mean the Rolling Stone article which quoted Gen. Stanley McChrystal and his aides saying uncomplimentary things about Barack Obama, Joe Biden and other civilian officials. Read More

Amid crises, Obama declares war -- on Arizona

By: Examiner Staff Writer 06/22/10 12:00 AM
The Obama administration has a lot of fights on its hands. Putting aside real wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, there's the battle against leaking oil in the Gulf, the struggle against 9.7 percent unemployment across the country, and clashes over the president's agenda on Capitol Hill. Despite all that, the White House has found time to issue a new declaration of war, this time against an unlikely enemy: the state of Arizona. Read More
