It’s come to this: vote for Obama, he’s cool

The New Neo Posted on April 28, 2012 by neoApril 28, 2012

Obama’s big campaign talking point is that he’s the cool one. And the MSM seems to agree. Ah, but you heard it first at neo-neocon. Back in early June of 2008, in a post entitled, “Wanting a cool and sexy … Continue reading →

Obama the foreigner

The New Neo Posted on April 27, 2012 by neoApril 27, 2012

The conservative alternatives

The New Neo Posted on April 24, 2012 by neoApril 24, 2012

Delaware notwithstanding, it’s pretty much a foregone conclusion that Newt Gingrich’s days as a candidate are numbered. The only question now is when he’ll drop out. For some, that’s a relief. For others, it’s the death knell of the chances … Continue reading →

To a man with a hammer…

The New Neo Posted on April 20, 2012 by neoApril 20, 2012

…everything looks like a nail. To the race-obsessed, everything looks like racism. Or, even if it doesn’t, they’ll pretend it does. But that’s gotten very, very old. I got curious about the origins of the hammer/nail phrase, and I discovered … Continue reading →

Branding Mitt Romney

The New Neo Posted on April 19, 2012 by neoApril 19, 2012

My new article, “Branding Retro Romney,” is up at PJ. It’s about the perils of casting Mitt Romney in the “Mad Men” role, as the Obama administration has been wont to do. You can comment there or here, or better … Continue reading →

Obama, working-class hero

The New Neo Posted on April 19, 2012 by neoApril 19, 2012

It continues. Obama pointed out to an audience at a community college in Ohio that, ““I wasn’t born with a silver spoon in my mouth.” The jokes come to mine (“no, you were born with a furry paw in your … Continue reading →

Two smart candidates, they felt smart

The New Neo Posted on April 13, 2012 by neoApril 13, 2012

The US Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit has a little question…

The New Neo Posted on April 3, 2012 by neoApril 3, 2012

…for President Obama: did you really mean it, or were you just blowing smoke? This is rather “unprecedented,” to use one of Obama’s favorite words. The court’s question came up in a separate Obamacare case presently before a 3-judge panel … Continue reading →

The exceptional Obama

The New Neo Posted on April 3, 2012 by neoApril 3, 2012

In all the brouhaha surrounding Obama’s statements yesterday preemptively criticizing the Supreme Court, these completely unrelated remarks of his passed relatively unnoticed: Responding to Romney’s campaign trail claims that American influence has declined during the Obama administration and that the … Continue reading →

Marcus v. Obama v. SCOTUS

The New Neo Posted on April 3, 2012 by neoApril 3, 2012
