The pressure is on. President Barack Obama took the day off from the campaign trail Monday to focus exclusively on his critical debate with Mitt Romney on Tuesday. It was a sensible decision. Obama needs the practice. Obama’s senior aides say the president will step up his game: He will be more assertive, more engaged […]
Vice President Joe Biden showed Americans some of that scrappy Scanton, Pennsylvania brashness Thursday night when he took Rep. Paul Ryan to the woodshed during the only vice presidential debate 26 days before Election Day. In the opening minutes of the debate, Biden pushed back after Ryan implied that the recent death of the U.S. […]
President Barack Obama must come out swinging in next week’s critical debate against Mitt Romney if he intends to win the race for the White House in four short weeks. No more professorial lectures. No more deep-in-the-weeds statistics. No more re-visiting the problems of four years ago. No more Mr. Nice Guy. Obama must deliver […]
For once, I agree with Ann Romney. I'm also concerned about Mitt Romney’s emotional fitness for the White House. "I think my biggest concern obviously would just be for his mental well-being," Ann Romney said in a startling admission during an interview last week with a Nevada television station. "I have all the confidence in […]
Mitt Romney is quietly plotting to move into the White House in January. Deep inside the Romney campaign, six weeks before Election Day, Romney’s transition to the Oval Office is being called “The Readiness Project,” which is designed to assemble a list of candidates for top White House jobs and offer a blueprint for Romney’s […]
Speaking before the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation’s annual awards dinner, First Lady Michelle Obama implored the nation’s African-Americans to show up on Election Day with a sense of urgency. “Make no mistake about it, this is the march of our time, marching door to door, registering people to vote,” the First Lady said to applause […]
The closer it gets to Election Day, the more Mitt Romney sounds like a desperate man. Consider this: Thirteen days before the first presidential debate, Romney is already planting the ridiculous notion that President Barack Obama will lie during the debates. “I think he’s going to say a lot of things that aren’t accurate,” Romney […]
Forty-eight days before Election Day, U.S. Rep. Emanuel Cleaver said the tight race between President Barack Obama and Republican Mitt Romney is perhaps the most crucial presidential contest since the Jim Crow era. And African-Americans, Cleaver warned, must pack the polls on Nov. 6 with a clear sense of urgency. “African-Americans will have to be […]
Mitt Romney got busted – and he knows it. While speaking privately – and candidly — to his wealthy donors, Romney doesn’t hide his complete contempt for poor Americans and middle-class citizens who are struggling every day just to make ends meet. How do I know? I listened carefully to Romney, an arrogant, unapologetic hypocrite. […]
President Barack Obama may be strolling into more bars over the next 53 days – all part of a carefully-orchestrated campaign to promote the president’s more relaxed and professorial-free persona. This is not a stretch for the president. It’s no secret that Obama is a huge sports fan who really likes beer. The president reportedly […]
First Lady Michelle Obama will deliver the keynote address to the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation’s annual awards dinner later this month while President Barack Obama campaigns for re-election to the White House. For the first time ever, Michelle Obama will headline the CBCF’s Phoenix Awards Dinner on Sept. 22, the White House confirmed Tuesday. “We […]
President Barack Obama will log thousands of miles on Air Force One during the next 53 days as he campaigns across the country asking voters to give him another four years in the White House.
