This evening, a CNBC Producer associated with the DNC slammed small business owners on Twitter, snidely stating that maybe they should “spend more time hiring American Workers with their record profits than blogging about Obama’s remarks.” This was after I shared an article

***UPDATE: Weigel responds to my story here and pretends there’s nothing all that suspicious about the $100 million or so Obama reportedly received in 2008 from donors who contributed $200 or less. Well, I happen to remember that there were genuine concerns that some of that money

If not for liberal Chicago hotel heiress Penny Pritzker, who relentlessly raised and bundled money for Barack Obama in 2008, Obama may not have had the financial resources to battle Hillary Clinton in the 2008 Democratic primary en route to

Proving that no misdeed goes unrewarded on the left, reports have it that once Microsoft and NBC News break up housekeeping and put an end to MSNBC.com in its current form, the resulting new Internet outlet will be getting a

More from President Obama, the most negative campaigner in recent presidential campaign history. This time Obama is name calling Fox News fans, saying they are “stubborn” for having the temerity to frequent the most watched cable news station on the
