When Barack Obama squanders his own credibility with his glib lies, he is not just injuring himself during his time in office. He is inflicting a lasting wound on the country as a whole.
I'm asked all the time why black voters so uniformly and consistently support Democratic candidates who advance this agenda. My answer is that Republicans need to start acting more like the businesspeople they claim to be.
The Obama administration's politicization of charity has created a permanent taxpayer-backed pipeline to Democratic partisan outfits masquerading as public-interest do-gooders.
The scandals surrounding the Obama administration come down to one common theme -- that the ever-growing size and scope of our federal government gives it enormous power over virtually every aspect of our lives, power that in the wrong hands can be used to reward supporters, exact revenge and punish enemies.
Barack Obama and his open-borders pals pay lip service to fairness and the rule of law for the cameras. But behind closed doors and beyond the reach of public accountability, they've already paved the way for mass deportation waivers.
Operatives in the Obama White House fully grasp the concept of the proverbial frog in the kettle, slowing heating up to a boil. Little by little, they have been turning up the political water temperature on an increasingly careless and self-absorbed citizenry.
The annual Trustees Report for Social Security has just been issued and the news is that there is no news. Social Security is on its way over a fiscal cliff -- just as we hear every year when the report is issued.
This week we learned that May's U.S. manufacturing unexpectedly shrank at the fastest pace in four years, revealing slowdowns in business and government spending.

When Barack Obama vowed that "transparency and the rule of law will be the touchstones of this presidency," he didn't mean "touchstones." He meant sinkholes.
As a long-time, ink-stained wretch, I'm actually glad that some of the Obama administration's bombs targeting our essential liberties found their way out of the Tea Party kill zone and were dropped instead on the Fourth Estate.
The cognitive dissonance of those on the Left is an impairment of a unique variety. Like the scandals in Washington, DC, that demonstrate unchecked power run amok, the school board for Kountze Independent School District understands little of objective reality.
What do you get when you cross one tyrannical, hyper-politicized bureaucratic beast with another? You get tyranny on steroids. You also get one happy Barack Hussein Obama.
It's pretty clear that the Internal Revenue Service acted illegally in its abuse of tea parties and other conservative groups and individuals since 2009.
"What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul?" (Mark 8:36)
It's a sad day for both Scouting and for freedom. Indeed, it's a sad day for America. The century-old Boy Scouts of America (BSA) - created in 1910 to "prepare young people to make ethical and moral choices over their lifetimes" - has betrayed its own constituency, mission, oath and law.
How does President Barack Obama, a man of such keen intelligence, with such promise to "change" America, find himself in so much serious trouble?
From the IRS targeting conservatives to the continued confusion over what happened at Benghazi to provoking a battle with The Associated Press by subpoenaing phone records that could involve as many as 100 reporters, what went wrong?
The answer is simple: arrogance, aided and abetted by a compliant, adoring "news" media.
Under President Obama, "justice" is anything but blind. Neither is it deaf. In fact, based on recent revelations, it appears to be watching your every move and listening to your every word. Still, if you happen to be a federal employee, now it's even listening for your silence.
