The perils of overreach

George F. Will  "The damage that has been done to the Democrat brand in just 20 months has encouraged comparisons of Obama to Carter, who seemed miniaturized by the presidency, and to Dukakis, who seemed mystified that Massachusetts' political culture was not the national norm. There also is, however, an Obama resemblance to Lyndon Johnson."

Crisis averted: Man who threw book at Obama was “overexuberant” supporter

Hot Air  "The US Secret Service found and interviewed the man who threw the book onstage. He was deemed to be an “overexhuberant” supporter who wanted the President to have a copy of a book he had written, according the Special Agent Edwin Donovan of the Secret Service in Washington. “He was deemed not to be a threat and was not arrested,” Donovan told ABC News."

Smearmania: Biden, Axelrod, Tim Kaine still pushing attacks on Chamber of Commerce

Hot Air  "I’m amused that this attack line about foreign money and the Chamber took off on the lefty site Think Progress, as it’s a nifty counterpoint to the endless liberal whining whenever the White House jumps at a story being pushed by the “right-wing noise machine,” a.k.a.

GOP, Don't Fool Us This Time

Joseph C. Phillips  "Sorry, but the cynic in me simply isn’t getting that warm, fuzzy feeling.

If You Cant Beat Them, Silence Them

Heritage  "Faced with the obvious failure of their policies, the left is now desperately seeking to avoid accountability by blaming others. So President Barack Obama told a crowd in Philadelphia this weekend that “special interest groups” like the Chamber of Commerce are “spending unlimited amounts of money on attack ads.” The President continued: “It could be the oil industry.

You don’t know because they don’t have to disclose. … Now, that’s not just a threat to Democrats – that’s a threat to our democracy.”"
