I have been seeing several “reports cards” recently by political pundits, policy institutes, journalists and others who are all over the map on how to grade the President’s performance when it comes to the economy. The vast majority are providing rather low scores. I think the highest I have seen was a “C+” by a [...]
President Barack Obama has consistently defended the quality of the spending that has taken place in the stimulus package. He has repeatedly told voters how impressed he is that there has been so little waste in the spending. “If there has been any waste,” it was “miniscule,” according to the Administration.

The National Center for Policy Analysis states that the Obama government is arguing that the “reform” will reduce “the federal budget deficit by $100 billion over [...]
PENSACOLA, Fla. – A federal judge said Tuesday he will likely dismiss only parts of a lawsuit by 20 states challenging the Obama administration’s health care overhaul as unconstitutional, though he didn’t specifically say what portions.
