Dozens of Democratic lawmakers implored President Obama to simply issue executive orders toughening gun curbs. They made their impassioned plea three years before the horrific Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre. They and others will make even more impassioned pleas to Obama to put his executive pen to paper and enact one or more measures that put some clamps on the types of guns that can be bought and sold and who…

House Speaker John Boehner didn’t bother to go through the pretense of recommending more women and minorities to chair House committees. All nineteen of his chair picks were white men. The committee chairs determine what legislation gets heard or stonewalled in the House. So Boehner’s naked move to assure that white guys still rule in the House seemingly makes mockery of all the GOP’s big post election…

GOP leaders don’t even try to hide that their sudden pile on the immigration reform bandwagon is a blatant, cynical, politically panic driven attempt to bag a few more Latino votes in future elections. The ploy won’t work, and a few of the more thoughtful heads in the GOP know it. The reason has nothing to do with the fact that many see their sudden pirouette on the party’s age old hostility to…

Despite tepid and cautious remarks from a handful of GOP congressional leaders and commentators that they are open to compromise on the Bush tax cuts and revenue raising measures, President Obama will still have a huge fight on his hands getting his tax proposals passed.  The hard truth is that the pummeling the GOP got in the election hasn’t moved them one inch from their stuck in cement tax orthodoxy…

GOP presidential contender Mitt Romney’s was hectored and battered mercilessly for his 47 percent don’t pay taxes slur, and shoot from the lip attack on President Obama’s alleged weak kneed kowtow to Islamic radicals in Libya and Cairo. But there are a lot of white guys that agree with him. They strongly believe that there are lot of deadbeats and freeloaders on the dole and that America is being pushed and bullied all…

The Democratic Convention was pitch perfect in publicly showcasing Democratic Party unity. Speaker after speaker made the case why President Obama should get a second term. But there is still the nagging worry among Democrats that more than a few Democrats will be MIA from the polls on November 6. If so, it wouldn’t be the first time it happened.  For years registered Democrats have far outnumbered registered…

GOP Florida Representative Allen West’s shoot from the lip, borderline crackpot quips, digs, and insults at women, blacks, Democrats, and especially President Obama have become the virtual stuff of legend. West always manages to grab headline attention every time he moves his lips to take his off-beat,…

Presumptive GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney got exactly what he wanted at the Universal Bluford Charter School in West Philadelphia. That was the ultimate photo-op. He had a room filled with black teachers, administrators, and at times smiling students. But most importantly he had banks of TV cameras and reporters recording his every move and…

Newark Mayor Cory Booker is a rock solid Democrat and a President Obama backer. But he inadvertently and almost certainly unintentionally raised a campaign problem for Obama. The problem is the danger to Obama of what many perceive as going negative in…

The vote on the gay marriage ban in North Carolina’s Halifax County drew some national ink. The County in Northeast part of the state is mostly rural and majority black. It backed the state’s anti-gay marriage initiative by a whopping two to one majority. The anti-gay marriage vote there was taken as a jittery sign that some blacks out of…

 It was never whether, but when President Obama would say yes to gay marriage. The tipoff that he’d back gay marriage came long before Vice President Joe Biden and Secretary of Education Arne Duncan said yes to gay marriage. It came before legions of top Democrats said yes to gay marriage.…

A hanging effigy that looked suspiciously like President Obama on a flatbed truck in New York City  and the sign on the Peach Oyster Bar in Unincorporated Draketown, Georgia “I do not support the N… in the White House” normally could be chalked off as the by now pro forma crackpot bigotry of the…
