I am truly puzzled. In this article by economist Laurence Kotlikoff, he criticizes Obama’s budget speech although he’s an Obama supporter. He thinks Obama offered no proposals of his own, and he thinks Paul Ryan’s approach to Medicare is pretty … Continue reading →
This response of Obama’s to a Stephanopoulos question indicates that he knows a good opportunity for ridicule of birthers when he hears one: I think a problem for [birther-candidates such as Trump] when they want to actually run in a … Continue reading →
I didn’t watch Obma’s speech last night. Fortunately, I was busy doing other—and more pleasant—things. But from the reports I see, I don’t think anyone was pleased with it, left or right, with the exception of a few of the … Continue reading →
President Obama is set to propose his own deficit reduction plan some time later in the week. It’s a bit of a mystery exactly what will be in it, but it seems he may actually step tentatively on the third … Continue reading →
