Obama Speech to Congress

WASHINGTON -- House Republicans are circulating talking points in advance of President Barack Obama's jobs speech to Congress, urging their members to...

Rev. Watkins, what you and your ilk are doing is the antithesis of Christianity and Christ's teachings.

An interesting new pattern has emerged from some Republicans. Both during and after yesterday's House admonishment of Rep. Joe Wilson's (R-SC) outburs...

Rep. Wilson is not some civilian who shouted his dissent at a truck stop rally. He was in a holy place which is the political equivalent of a church or a temple.

This is Obama's true test. His biggest flaws as president so far have all come down to his hesitation to fight the narrow, entrenched industry groups serving their bottom line at the expense of the people.

We are asking the impossible of the new administration. Nobody can fix a catastrophe of this magnitude over night that is the result of deconstructing the rule of law in the financial sector for some 25 years.

A new national study among 526 primary care physicians revealed that the majority (61%) reported that health care will "get worse" in the next four years, after viewing Obama's speech to Congress.

Jindal, you've had the misfortune to run into two of the greatest pitfalls in our business: The Curse of Heightened Expectations, and The Curse of Multiple Messages.

Asked for a "final thought" on the president's speech last night, conservative columnist George WIll chose to focus on the fact that Obama was able to...
