If Darth Vader traveled by bus, this is undoubtedly the one he’d choose: But it would seem an odd choice for President Obama (I’m hardly the only one who’s used the Vader comparison). The bus has also been likened to … Continue reading →
…at the edge of the cliff, ready to dive in? I respect Ryan, and I happen to think he’d make a good president. But I’m not at all sure he’s really going to take the leap. And is he too … Continue reading →
…that when people write articles critical of Obama these days, no one even bothers to call them racists?

Barack Obama’s aides and advisers are preparing to center the president’s reelection campaign on a ferocious personal assault on Mitt Romney’s character and business background, a strategy grounded in the early-stage expectation that the former Massachusetts governor … Continue reading →
