The Obama/Holder AP scandal has produced strange bedfellows. The DoJ’s seizing of Associated Press reporters’ phone records along with AG Eric Holder’s attempts to prosecute senior FOX correspondent, James Rosen as a “co-conspirator” for doing his job has sent a chill down the collective spines of both the liberal and conservative press. At long last, the left and the right agree on something. Karen Tumulty...

Tonight, John Smart and I tackle the pros and cons of Republicans’ rabid attempts to discredit Hillary Clinton in advance of 2016. Interesting how she offered herself up, taking responsibility for State Department failures on Benghazi, prior to the election last year and Rep. Issa. Sen. Lindsay Graham and company would have none of it. Now of course, the circus has begun anew for reasons...

Yesterday, Representative Darrell Issa led his Oversight Committee through hours of questioning of Benghazi whistleblowers with one goal in mind – to ruin any hope Hillary Clinton has of running in 2016. It could be argued Issa was also aiming to take down the Obama administration, but from the Kabuki theatre offered by both parties, who posture on the floors of Congress only to pass...

We live in a society attracted, even addicted, to pretty packaging. That is unlikely to change. Notwithstanding those with a seeming compulsion to praise or deride others’ appearance, our leaders and elected officials need to lead by example, not use their bully pulpits to further stereotyped perceptions. At a California fundraiser last week, President Obama offered up the following description of California Attorney General Kamala...

Every week, another “Hillary: will she or won’t she” article erupts in the mainstream press. If the amount of copy devoted to reading the tea leaves on Secretary Clinton’s 2016 ambitions were measured in decibels, the volume would be deafening, though we are years removed from the first primary. CNN’s John King once said “the media suffers from a Hillary obsession.” That much is true,...

As the Supreme Court prepares to hear arguments today and tomorrow on the matter of gay marriage, I am called to reflect upon Hillary Clinton’s words as she declared her endorsement of the rights of LGBT citizens to marry. She said she “supported it personally and as a matter of policy and of law” in all fifty states. I couldn’t agree more. We are one nation,...

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton gave 5-1/2 hours of patient and thorough testimony before the Senate and House yesterday regarding the events surrounding the tragic deaths of four Americans in Benghazi. Not surprisingly, Wesley Pruden of The Washington Times published a smear piece entitled “Hillary’s Last Hurrah.” He offered a photograph of the one moment she became frustrated with Republican Senator Johnson of Wisconsin, who...

Salon’s David Sirota today offered an article instructing Progressives to “check their optimism” when it comes to President Obama’s inauguration speech and what it might bode for his second term. He stated that although Obama strung “together the most tried, true and poll-tested applause lines,” Sirota pointed out that no sentence “was as appropriate yet also dissonant as President Obama’s assertion that America should not...
