Obama’s attack on Romney’s Bain record isn’t going so well
During the Republican primaries, Romney was attacked mightily for his tenure at Bain. Gingrich was the main—although hardly the only—source of the criticism. His supporters said that, far from harming Romney if Mitt ended up being the nominee, this would … Continue reading →
Metrosexuals of the world, unite
The latest tiresome, minor, conjured-up brouhaha is that a Romney-supporting PAC sort of thought for a while about doing a clip talking about Obama and Reverend Wright. The memo features a description of Obama that has many on the left—including … Continue reading →
How did Obama become a black American?
[NOTE: I actually wrote the draft of this post a couple of days ago, before the news that forms the subject matter of this came out. But it has interesting resonances with it.] An absurd question, you might say. And … Continue reading →
