President Barack Obama is distancing himself from the critical task of repairing his crippled Obamacare website so he can return to the campaign trail. “The President is a very interested observer in this [repair] process [and] is being regularly updated on it, and is holding that team accountable for results,” Josh Earnest, his deputy press secretary told reporters Oct. 25, while flying with the president to three fund-raisers in New York. Obama’s departure Friday from the White House illustrates his focus on electoral and ideological gains for progressives, rather than on economic and practical gains for actual Americans. Obama’s aides...

In many respects this was true, though Mr Obama was more chairman than...

Saturday afternoon the doorbell rings while I'm watching the Cubs game. I open the door - there stands a mid-50s man with a clipboard. He's wanting me to vote for Hillary Clinton in the upcoming Indiana primaries. No, I say - "we're Republicans here and I could never bring myself to vote for Hillary Clinton". "Won't you just vote for her in the primary then" - he asks, "and then vote for McCain in the fall." No, I say - "If I was going to vote for a Democrat, it'd have to be Obama because of my absolute disdain for...

Susan Kennedy has been described as Satan, a sellout, a traitor, a spy -- and a brilliant political operative. And if that's not enough, Kennedy -- the Democratic workhorse who has become Republican Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's chief of staff -- has recently assumed one more title: head campaigner. As she goes around the state -- from boardroom to business group, talking up Schwarzenegger's $222 billion Strategic Growth Plan -- the former top aide to Democratic Gov. Gray Davis is unapologetic about her chief priority these days: "To get Arnold Schwarzenegger re-elected.'' --snip-- In an unusual arrangement, she is paid as...
