President Obama got a shellacking on Monday from a Harvard history professor who said his inexperience showed in the White House’s handling of Egypt’s crisis. On MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” Niall Ferguson said the Obama administration lacked a strategy for Egypt and failed to have a contingency plan in place if a transition of power from Hosni Mubarak to his son didn’t go as planned. “This completely took the administration by surprise. They admitted that they had not planned for this scenario,” said Ferguson, an adviser for Sen. John McCain’s 2008 presidential bid who wrote a cover story in Newsweek this...

Maybe he wants to help “restore sanity.” President Obama will make his first appearance as president on the comedy program “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart” next week, days ahead of the midterm election, a White House spokesman said. The interview’s timing is also notable because it comes just before Mr. Stewart’s “Rally to Restore Sanity” in Washington, D.C. (Actually, the rally was renamed the “Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear” last week because Mr. Stewart’s satiric colleague Stephen Colbert will also be there.) Mr. Stewart is bringing “The Daily Show” to D.C. next week, culminating in the rally on...

President Obama at Hampton University commencement: "As you probably know, Dr. Height passed away the other week at the age of 98. Having been on the firing line for every fight from lynching to desegregation to the battle for health care reform, she lived a singular life. But she started out just like you, understanding that to make something of herself, she needed a college degree."

President Obama has a tough time naming his favorite White Sox player when asked by broadcaster and former Sox pitcher Rob Dibble.

Once again, Barack Obama proves conclusively that, regardless of where he was born, he is not an American! During the presidential campaign, Barack Obama made it perfectly clear that the use of disproportionate force was sometimes necessary to defend one’s self. Of course, he was referring to Republicans challenging his presidential aspirations and other delusions of grandeur. -snip- “Mobster wisdom tells us never to bring a knife to a gun fight. But what does political wisdom say about bringing a gun to a knife fight? “That’s exactly what Barack Obama said he would do to counter Republican attacks “If they...

The Pentagon says President Barack Obama asked for and got a copy of the troop request from the commander of the war in Afghanistan. Officials said repeatedly in recent weeks that the discussion of troop needs would not begin until after Obama decided on a strategy to try to salvage the faltering military campaign. Though the administration is still debating what the strategy should be, Obama apparently decided he wanted to look at both issues at the same time. Defense Department press secretary Geoff Morrell told a Pentagon press conference Wednesday that Obama formally asked for — and received —...
