Watchdog Accuses Obama Justice Department of Ignoring ACORN Fraud

The Obama Justice Department administration shut down an investigation into ACORN last year, ignoring evidence of fraud at the community group, a government watchdog claimed Thursday, citing investigative documents it obtained. The watchdog, Judicial Watch, in releasing the documents, accused ACORN of “evident criminal conduct” and suggested that Obama’s past ties to ACORN played a role in the investigation’s conclusion. ACORN responded by emphasizing that it was cleared of wrongdoing, though … Read entire article »

Targeted: Does this photo of Barack Obama go too far?

Targeted: Does this photo of Barack Obama go too far?

The adjectives used to promote WorldNetWeekly – WND’s latest innovation – ring ever more accurately as the online news magazine’s latest cover is currently igniting emotion and outrage across blog posts and online forums. At 400 animated, interactive pages, WorldNetWeekly’s online news-magazine experience requires at least electronically “thumbing” through the free issue to realize just what a reading revolution it really is.

Election 2010: Where is Obama Most/Least Popular? Here’s the List

The Supreme Court is not traditionally a collective that picks fights with … Read entire article »

Is Obama a hypocrite on reconciliation?

Is Obama a hypocrite on reconciliation?

With President Barack Obama calling for Congress to move toward a reconciliation bill on health care (which would require only a simple majority of 51 votes in the Senate rather than the customary supermajority of 60), many conservative opponents have posted pre-presidential Obama quotes that they say expose his hypocrisy on the issue. We’ll examine the context of some of the more popular quotes being … Read entire article »
