In his weekly radio address on April 14, President Obama displayed his lifelong commitment to an ideological extremism of pure theory unhinged from reality. That failure of leadership is why America is in a scary downward slide that will not stop until fundamental change is made at the top.

When did you get this vision, Mitt? During an election year?
It’s only temporary; I’m sure...
I see your point on ideological issues, but on practical issues, Eisenhower’s administration started the gigantic Interstate Highway System, and one thing Nixon did was try to control the economy with Wage Price Controls. In fact Carter did not use them with questionable economic results.
The ABR already has their “2012” stickers on their. Cars.
FUBO!!!!
