"We have created more jobs in this last year than the Bush administration (did) in eight years."
Joe Biden on Tuesday, April 19th, 2011 in a speech in Cleveland
Vice President Joe Biden loves campaigning in Ohio. He did so 15 times during the 2010 Midterm elections for various state and federal candidates.
But Democrats still suffered a "shellacking," he joked during an April 19 campaign fundraiser in Cleveland for U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown, who faces re-election next year. Citing positive economic news, Biden insisted, however, that the political debate about his administration’s ...
Within a few weeks of Obama's coronation it has become clear this new emperor will be as aggressive and violent as his immediate predecessors Bush II, Clinton, Bush I and Reagan. We are expected to believe there will be a "new tone" in US foreign policy. However, a new tone is just that, a new tone. It means the essence will not change at all, nor will the forms. Just the tone. That must have been the change Obama has been promising his supporters and all those poor devils who believed in him and who voted for him. The remarks made by Obama's messenger boys at the 45th Munich Security ...

Martin O'Malley who? The 2016 speculation is getting nonsensical | Harry J Enten
Contrary to some reports, Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley doesn't stand a chance in the Democratic presidential fieldAs much of 2016 election speculation centers around Hillary Clinton, other Democrats have been trying to break through the press wall. Arguably the most successful has been Maryland's Governor Martin O'Malley. If you don't live in his state or follow these things closely, you're probably wondering, who?O'Malley, with the help of a Democratic state legislature, has ushered through gun control, medical marijuana, a repeal of the death penalty, and a gas tax. In other words, he appears to have plenty of liberal chops. Despite all of these accomplishments, I remain skeptical about O'Malley's prospects. Why?Start with the fact that O'Malley seems to be having a hard time convincing Democrats in his own state that's he up to the task. He only gets 7% of the vote among Maryland Democrats in a 2016 primary ballot test. Beyond that, O'Malley's approval/favorable ratings sugge |
