By Thomas Lifson After suggesting that he would invade our ally Pakistan and talk to our enemy Iran, Barack Obama has moved on to potentially damage our relations with Canada, our friendly neighbor and number one foreign oil supplier. Under the terms of NAFTA, Canada is prohibited from cutting off oil exports to the US if there is a worldwide shortage or supply disruption unless supplies are also rationed...

Obama’s Class-War Court

By Terry Jeffrey, CNS News When the nomination of John Roberts to be chief justice of the Supreme Court came up in the Senate in 2005, Sen. Barack Obama argued that the role of a justice is to favor the "weak" over the "strong." When the nomination of Sam Alito came up in January 2006, he made the same argument. Obama does not want a Supreme Court that preserves the rule of law,... 

Defeating Obama

By Tony Blankley Sen. Hillary Clinton has road-tested several versions of attacks on Sen. Barack Obama that don't work.

The Long Unraveling of Obama

By Jeff Gannon, jeffgannon.com Last week, Sen. Hillary Clinton jumped all over Sen. Barack Obama for speeches he made that employed phrases and flourishes previously used by Deval Patrick during his run for governor of Massachusetts. The overblown charges of plagiarism from Clinton’s surrogates and the candidate’s own attack line, “change you can Xerox” unleashed during a debate... 

Mrs O: The truth about Michelle Obama’s ‘working class’ credentials

By Sharon Churcher, Daily Mail The dress, a purple shift, is almost ludicrously simple. The pearls around her neck are fakes, each one the size of a gobstopper, and deliberately so. It is clear that the woman gazing out from the cover of Newsweek magazine has a message for anyone caring to glance at the news stand. Yes, Michelle Obama is a glamorous lawyer with a big salary, a bigger house and a husband... 

Barack Obama’s Negatives Go Up

By Ed Morrissey, Captain's Quarters While Hillary Clinton has not found a way to break the consecutive primaries losing streak against Barack Obama, now at 10 or 11 depending on whether one counts the expatriate poll, she has managed to force Obama to talk a little more specifically about policy. That apparently has cost Obama some ground, according to Rasmussen, although not so much against Hillary....
