President Obama will receive great credit from historians and many voters in November for his triumph reviving the American auto industry, and making Made in America a badge of honor for this key sector of the national economy.

It is a useful moment to consider the career of a great...

While President Obama lifts his presidency to champion the cause of jobs that are made in the USA, his Republican opponents stake their plans for power, to a degree that no great party in the history of the republic has ever attempted, on the prospect of the American economy failing.

This is a story about three great women and two historic waves that embody the political, social, cultural, economic and consumer waves that are transforming America and the world in real time.

The three women are:

The first lady of the United States, Michelle Obama, is one of the most...

As conservatives prepare for an urgent meeting this weekend to discuss their options in the 2012 campaign, they face an epic crisis of identity and electability that creates rising odds for the reelection of President Obama.

Throughout the 2012 campaign, there has not been one credible conservative candidate for the...

As President Obama and Democrats battle during this holiday season to enact a tax cut for the 99 percent of Americans who constitute the heart of the nation, House Republicans are making a seismic political blunder reminiscent of the self-destructive overreaching of then-Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) that rejuvenated the Clinton...

I strongly support New Hampshire's first-in-the-nation primary because voters in the Granite State take seriously their influence in choosing our next president. As the moment of truth approaches, let's consider the candidacy of former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman.

I propose that of all the Republican candidates, Jon Huntsman comes closest...

Part I

We live in an age of global protest, global unrest and global demands for change in a world where the vast majority of men and women believe they are being hurt and cheated by forces of selfishness and greed in politics and finance. In the current campaign, Ron...

President Obama has the extraordinary option of rekindling the historic spirit of his presidency and riding the sweeping tides of history for the advancement of women by naming Secretary of State Hillary Clinton as his vice presidential running mate in 2012.

Most likely, the final results of the 2012 election...

Find me a few stars of stage, screen and song with the principle and courage that Frank Sinatra showed when he stood up for his brother Sammy Davis Jr. in the 1950's and you can change the world and help end this cold season of hardship and discontent.

At defining...

This column is dedicated to the late Dorothy Rodham, a very proud mom and grandma who did good in the world.

President Obama will receive high marks in history for his bold command decisions to order the missions that led to the death of Osama bin Laden, prevented an imminent mass murder at Benghazi and helped liberate Libya from a murderous dictatorship.

The president receives great credit from voters for these...

I believe that the first big winner of the 2012 campaign is the Occupy Wall Street movement, whether or not it participates in electoral politics. Before next April 30 there will be more simultaneous marches around the world that could inspire up to 50 million men and women supporting a...

Democrats should oppose, Congress should defeat and the American people will reject any windfall repatriation tax bonus to American companies that have exported American jobs, unless those companies are required to create new American jobs, independently verified, before they receive the tax "holiday."

The Occupy Wall Street movement is spreading...

We are the 99 percent of Americans in a blessed land that belongs to us all, and is not a property to be owned by the few who enrich themselves at the expense of the many.

With Bank of America the latest bank to grind its heels on the necks...

I propose that the entire liberal, labor, civil rights, equal rights, environmental, pay equity and women's movements put their full force behind the Occupy Wall Street movement and its new counterpart in Washington. In recent months I have been calling for major marches for powerful change. I believe this new...

Several years ago, C-SPAN aired a brilliant half-day of discussion about the role of Ernest Hemingway in American history. Hemingway was a reporter, war correspondent and one of America's greatest writers, whose story offers profound insight at a time of epochal economic crisis, joblessness and poverty.

What makes Hemingway so...

When Republican House Speaker John Boehner (Ohio) and Majority Leader Eric Cantor (Va.) threaten the Fed if it tries to help the economy with monetary policy, their low-concept imitation of Ron Paul is economically ignorant and historically unprecedented. When Republican candidate Rick Perry threatens the Fed with charges of treason...

The fighting spirit shown by President Obama in recent days suggests to me, and is confirmed by White House sources, that a defining moment has arrived for the Obama presidency. Great!

If the president campaigns in the tradition of Truman in 1948, and Democrats campaign with the ferocity that Sen....

Here is my question for Ron Paul supporters.

Imagine that your mother got laid off her job and lost health insurance and needed emergency treatment. But imagine that your mother could not get insurance because of a preexisting condition. Would you let your mother die under these conditions? Would you...
