The Potemkin President Disintegrates

The tinsel and cardboard persona of Barack Obama begins to unravel.

If Mormonism Is Fair Game, so Is Jeremiah Wright

Petulant, whiny, self-centered.

Obama Puts Post-Racial America On Hold, Brings Anti-Cop Rapper to White House

Barack Obama is a man of many talents. Some presidents might be content to wreck the nation’s finances and display confused impotence to our enemies, but Obama also takes the time to needlessly poison America’s cultural well. Last night, Sean Hannity took the president to task for including Lonnie Rashid Lynn, Jr., AKA rapper/poet “Common,” on the docket of a White House celebration of American prose.

No, Bill Sammon Didn’t Lie About Thinking Obama Was a Socialist (Which He Totally Is)

There’s only so much mileage the Left can get out of vehemently denying that President Barack Obama is a socialist.

Hey Keith & Chris! Here’s a Black Tea Partier!

Conventional wisdom holds that the Tea Party movement must be racist—after all, as Keith Olbermann has asked, “where are the people of color” at their rallies?  Somehow, Sean Hannity managed to find one last night: Erik Rush, the columnist who first broke the story of Barack Obama’s old pal, Rev.
