Barack Obama lately has been accusing presumptive rival Mitt Romney of not waging his campaign in the nice (but losing) manner of John McCain in 2008. But a more marked difference can be seen in Obama himself, whose style and record bear no resemblance to his glory days of four years ago. 2012-06-07T00:01:00-04:002012-06-08T03:10:03ZVictor Davis Hanson

TownHall.com - Columns - Wed, 2024-11-27 18:30
Sen. Dianne Feinstein, California's most popular politician, garnered 49.3 percent -- less than half -- of the vote on election day Tuesday. Winning 1.8 million votes, Feinstein trounced her 23 challengers handily in what wags call California's "jungle primary." There was no big-name challenger, yet more than half of voters went for Anyone But DiFi.2012-06-07T00:01:00-04:002012-06-08T03:10:03ZDebra J. Saunders

Gold Up Overnight

TownHall.com - Columns - Wed, 2024-11-27 18:30
The sudden enthusiasm for gold on Wall Street may signal that we’re at a bottom for gold selling. As I mentioned last month, it’s not unusual to see investors selling gold during times of down markets when they’re fleeing to cash. Once the markets are awash in liquidity, all that money has to go somewhere. 2012-06-07T00:01:00-04:002012-06-08T03:10:03ZChris Poindexter

Where Is The Outrage?

For the past few weeks, I have been writing in this column about the government's use of drones and challenging their constitutionality on Fox News Channel where I work. I once asked on air what Thomas Jefferson would have done if -- had drones existed at the time -- King George III had sent drones to peer inside the bedroom windows of Monticello.2012-06-07T00:01:00-04:002012-06-08T03:10:03ZJudge Andrew Napolitano

Words Matter

TownHall.com - Columns - Wed, 2024-11-27 18:30
Words have power; they create images and possibilities, and provide a window into the future of what could be. The best leaders use positive words to communicate a potential future for a country that is possible if actions are taken. They inspire action, progress and positive results. For words to matter, there must be a solid foundation underlying them. They cannot be all fluff and flutter.2012-06-07T00:01:00-04:002012-06-08T03:10:03ZJackie Gingrich Cushman

They are at it again. Following what can only be described as a butt-kicking win for Gov. Scott Walker in Wisconsin's recall election, many media pundits were trying to "split the baby" by acknowledging Walker's win, but pointing to exit polls that show President Obama with a seven-point lead against Mitt Romney in that state.2012-06-07T00:01:00-04:002012-06-08T03:10:03ZMatt Towery
