Obama as a Hawk, is there a foreign policy argument for re-election?
Asked at any point before May 1st of last year, the question above would have been ridiculous. Outside of liberal intellectuals and college students, whose idea of “restoring America’s reputation in the world” is something on the order of “surrender and tell the bad guys you want to be friends,” few would have credited the [...]

Big Spending on Unpopular ObamaCare
According to an article in the Hill, the Obama administration is quietly diverting roughly $500 million to the IRS to help implement the president’s healthcare law. After spending $821 billion on a stimulus that didn’t create jobs and on projects that weren’t quite “shovel ready” the President wants to spend half a billion dollars on [...]

Illinois Primary Results
(from the PRIsm Political Report) Mitt Romney easily won the Illinois primary last night finishing exactly as the late polls predicted, 47-35% over Rick Santorum. Delegate-wise, it is more difficult to project this soon into the post-election process because Illinois is a “loophole primary” and voters were actually choosing individuals on the ballot to fill [...]
Gas Prices, Drilling, and Obama on the Economy
With the price of gas approaching $4 per gallon, a new study by the Pew Research Center ,perhaps unsurprisingly, shows an increase in support for oil and gas production. According to the survey, more than 2 in 3 Americans support more offshore drilling and increase of 21 points since June of 2010. Moreover, among those [...]

Chris Wilson on the Willis Report
Dodd-Frank and the “unbanked”: This is a classic case of unintended—but predictable—effects of a bad policy. It doesn’t take a genius to know that if you make it unprofitable for banks to do business with some customers by banning the things (like fees) that allow them to make money serving those customers, then those customers [...]
Chris Wilson on the Willis Report
