Obama can’t keep neglecting immigration reform, Hispanics

By: Diana Furchtgott-Roth 09/29/11 10:04 PM
From Sept. 15 to Oct. 15, America celebrates Hispanic Heritage Month, signed into law by President Ronald Reagan. How have Hispanics fared in America over the past three years, since they helped to send Barack Obama to the White House? Like many Americans, not well.  When Obama was elected with 67 percent of the Hispanic vote, some Americans believed he was serious about his campaign promises of immigration reform, an important issue for many voters.

Obamacare’s fate will almost certainly be decided by the Supreme Court of the United States in 2012, either in June or shortly after November’s election.

Obama is losing the future

By: Mike Lee 09/27/11 9:11 PM
In consecutive weeks, President Barack Obama has presented two painfully unserious and economically misguided proposals. The first, his $450 billion American Jobs Act, is another stimulus proposal, based on the ill-conceived notion that more government spending is the answer to what ails the economy. The second is the president’s plan to raise taxes by $1.5 trillion on American job creators. Read More

The past couple of weeks haven’t been good for the president of the United States, not that most weeks these days have been all that rosy.
