Are Blowouts Coming in California? With Regime Change in November? May 27, 2010 6:00 AM By Larry Kudlow Recent GOP primary polls in the Golden State point to huge victories for Meg Whitman and Carly Fiorina. Whitman is leading by 25 to 27 points in two polls (SurveyUSA and PPP) over Steve Poizner in the governor’s race, while Fiorina has opened up a 20 to 23 point lead against Tom Campbell in the Senate contest, with Chuck Devore trailing well behind. Primary day is June 8. Whitman has stayed on message, with job creation (12.6% unemployment) and solving the near-bankrupt state’s $20 billion budget deficit her top priorities. She intends to abolish the state’s capital-gains ...

Obama to Seniors: 'Drop Dead'

Obama to Seniors: 'Drop Dead' by Robert E. Moffit 05/27/2010 According to surveys, no group of Americans is more skeptical of Obamacare than senior citizens—and with good reason. While bits and pieces of the massive law are designed to appeal to seniors—more taxpayer subsidies for the Medicare drug benefit, for example—much of the financing over the initial ten years is siphoned off from an estimated $575 billion in projected savings to the Medicare program. Unless Medicare savings are captured and plowed right back into the Medicare program, however, the solvency of the Medicare program will continue to weaken. The law does not provide for that. Medicare is ...

Counterterror Adviser Defends Jihad as 'Legitimate Tenet of Islam' Published May 27, 2010 | FOXNews.com White House counterterrorism adviser John Brennan speaks to reporters in the White House Jan. 7. (AP Photo) The president's top counterterrorism adviser on Wednesday called jihad a "legitimate tenet of Islam," arguing that the term "jihadists" should not be used to describe America's enemies. During a speech at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, John Brennan described violent extremists as victims of "political, economic and social forces," but said that those plotting attacks on the United States should not be ...

‘Death panels’ were an overblown claim – until now By Michael Tanner | Published: 05/27/10 at 12:00 AM | Updated: 05/27/10 at 8:48 AM During the debate over ObamaCare, the bill’s opponents were excoriated for talk of rationing and “death panels.” And in fairness, with a few minor exceptions governing Medicare reimbursements, the law does not directly ration care or allow the government to dictate how doctors practice medicine. But if President Obama wanted to keep a lid on that particular controversy, he just selected about the worst possible nominee for director of the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services, the office that oversees government health ...

Where Was Obama's Plan A for the Spill? By Kirsten Powers Published May 27, 2010 | FOXNews.com Print Email Share Comments (6) Text Size Do something, baby, do something: That's the cry from Obama supporters and opponents alike as the oil keeps gushing into the Gulf of Mexico. The political firestorm kept growing yesterday, with supporter James Carville ranting that the administration has been "lackadaisical" and "naive" in its response to the disaster. He urged it to rapidly "move to Plan B." But that suggests there was ever a Plan A. Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal is so frustrated with the lack of response to his plan to stop the slick with sand ...

Some devastating polls for Democrats By: Michael Barone Senior Political Analyst 05/26/10 3:43 PM EDT Back in 1994, I wrote a column for U.S. News arguing that Republicans had a serious chance to capture a majority of seats in the House of Representatives. The article appeared on the newsstands on July 11, and was the first article I’m aware of that suggested that Democrats might lose the majority they had held for 40 years. My argument was based on a number of polls showing Democratic incumbents trailing Republican challengers. Usually House incumbents don’t trail challengers in polls at any point in the campaign, because they almost always start off better known. For an ...

President Obama's performance at the Q-and-A will determine if the spill will plague him for months. POLITICO 44By waiting 10 months to hold a solo, East Room press conference, President Barack Obama has raised expectations. By pegging it to the BP oil spill, Obama has upped the ante even further. He’s putting an issue that appears increasingly out of his control up for discussion in what has not always been his most successful forum. (At his last one-man East Room session, he said Cambridge cops “acted stupidly” in arresting a Harvard professor, and the ...

Drumbeat grows louder: GOP senators call for Sestak special prosecutor By: Byron York Chief Political Correspondent 05/26/10 3:56 PM EDT Today all seven Republican members of the Senate Judiciary Committee sent a letter to Attorney General Eric Holder urging Holder to appoint a special investigator to probe Rep. Joe Sestak’s allegations against the White House. Last February, Sestak said the Obama White House offered him a high-ranking government job if Sestak would refrain from challenging Democratic Sen. Arlen Specter in the Pennsylvania primary. Sestak declined and last week won the Democratic nomination. Sestak has repeated his charge on several occasions but refuses to say who at ...

Obama gets an earful in clash with GOP senators May 25 05:41 PM US/Eastern By CHARLES BABINGTON Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP) - If President Barack Obama thought having a private lunch with Republican senators would ease partisan tensions in Congress, he grabbed the wrong recipe. The president walked into a remarkably contentious 80-minute session Tuesday in which GOP senators accused him of duplicity, audacity and unbending partisanship. Lawmakers said the testy exchange left legislative logjams intact, and one GOP leader said nothing is likely to change before the November elections. Obama's sharpest accuser was Bob Corker of Tennessee, a first-term senator who feels the ...

Will Democrats Disinherit The Meek For Crist’s Sake? By Ed Carson Wed., May 26, 2010 8:13 AM ET Fla. Gov. Charlie Crist’s gamble to run as an independent for the U.S Senate seems to be paying off. He narrowly leads Republican Marco Rubio 33%-32.7%, according to Real Clear Politics’ poll average. Rep. Kendrick Meek, the Democratic front-runner, lags far behind at 17.3%. Crist is hoping to follow in the footsteps of Connecticut Sen. Joe Lieberman. But for that strategy to succeed, he’ll need Barack Obama and the national party to disown Meek. Lieberman narrowly lost the 2006 Democratic nomination to Ned Lamont, but he won the general election as an independent. He got ...

Will Washington Reverse Direction? By Tony Blankley Historically, the American public -- confident, independent and undemanding-has not expected much out of Washington. Live your silver lives of limousines, private jets, power and celebrity; just do no permanent damage to the nation. But in the last two years our Babylon on the Potomac -- with its irrational and unconscionable saddling of our grandchildren with multi trillion dollar debt (and its bizarre foreign policy of loathing our friends and ourselves, and loving our enemies)-- has vexed the public into a state of deep fear and anguish. However, Americans don't stay scared long -- we quickly convert fear to anger and anger to ...

Tuesday May 25, 2010 Koch's Comments: Obama speaks softly and carries no stick at all Posted by Ed Koch We are at war with radical Islam, and that war will go on for many years. For me, the question is this: Will the secular Western civilization shared by America and Europe, which allows us to enjoy life and its creature comforts, still be standing at the end of that war? Or will radical Islam, with an aggressive culture that treasures martyrdom and death over life, prevail? The vast majority of Muslims, of course, are peace-loving. The fanaticism found among the Wahhabists of Saudi Arabia is not found in many of the countries where a billion, 400 million Muslims live. ...

Look Who's Behind the White House/Sestak Stonewall by Michelle Malkin After three months of zipped lips and feigned ignorance, the Obama White House is finally taking real heat over Pennsylvania Democratic Rep. Joe Sestak's consistent claims that the administration offered him a job to drop his Senate bid. Now it's time to redirect the spotlight where it belongs: on the top counsel behind the Washington stonewall, Bob "The Silencer" Bauer. On Sunday, White House spokesman Robert Gibbs glibly asserted that "lawyers in the White House and others have looked into conversations that were had with Congressman Sestak. And nothing inappropriate happened." With ...

Think housing is recovering? Think again. by Kit R. Roane, contributorMay 25, 2010: 10:54 AM ET (Fortune) -- Americans purchased homes at a surprising clip in April, but don't let that fool you into thinking the housing market is back. Although economists were expecting a month-over-month increase of 5.5%, the National Association of Realtors reported yesterday that sales of previously owned homes rose an unexpected 7.6%. That continued a yearlong rise in housing activity and marked the highest number of sales recorded since November of last year. It also follows a drumbeat of similarly rosy economic news signaling the possibility that the United States may be on the economic ...

Beck, Weiner duel from a distance By KENNETH P. VOGEL | 5/24/10 10:40 PM EDT The feud between Glenn Beck, left, and Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-N.Y.) began when the lawmaker accused the talk-show host of misleading fans into buying overpriced gold coins. Since Rep. Anthony Weiner last week released a report accusing conserative talk show host Glenn Beck of misleading fans into buying overpriced gold coins from a sponsor, Beck has been on a crusade against the liberal New York Democrat, accusing him of McCarthyism and conspiring with the White House to destroy him — not to mention repeatedly making fun of his last name. But to date, Beck has made no effort to confront Weiner face to ...

Two more Census workers blow the whistle Last Updated: 1:23 AM, May 25, 2010 Posted: 12:42 AM, May 25, 2010 John Crudele You know the old saying: "Everyone loves a charade." Well, it seems that the Census Bureau may be playing games. Last week, one of the millions of workers hired by Census 2010 to parade around the country counting Americans blew the whistle on some statistical tricks. The worker, Naomi Cohn, told The Post that she was hired and fired a number of times by Census. Each time she was hired back, it seems, Census was able to report the creation of a new job to the Labor Department. Below, I have a couple more readers who worked for Census 2010 and have tales to ...
