It’s on: Republicans stepped up their campaign Thursday against the Obama administration’s controversial contraception rule, using the pulpit of the premier conservative conference in Washington to assail the policy as an unconstitutional “attack on religious freedom.” The sustained GOP criticism, including a letter of opposition Thursday from three state attorneys general, came as key Democrats [...]
**Posted by Phineas … is not what we have. Instead we have a guy who spews left-populist, class warfare rhetoric at his State of the Union addresses campaign speeches while raising beau coup bucks at a high-end fashion show that even some of the Evil One-Percent(tm) might have trouble affording. Republicans are hammering President Obama [...]
Shocking: President Obama personally signed off on his campaign’s decision to actively encourage donations to Democratic Super PAC Priorities USA, according to senior campaign officials who spoke on a conference call with reporters Tuesday morning.

**Posted by Phineas President Obama spent much of his recent State of the Union address declaring that the rich need to pay their “fair share” of taxes. (1) Maybe he should have given that speech to his staff, first: How embarrassing this must be for President Obama, whose major speech theme so far this campaign [...]
**Posted by Phineas If you’re like me, you were too busy with urgent, pressing matters to watch the President’s State of the Union address last night. You know, things like alphabetizing your DVD collection, or playing Angry Birds. In fact, on Twitter last night I said that I wish presidents would go back to the [...]
