What Does Obama Know About Profits?

“After all,” Calvin Coolidge, 30th President of the United states and former a Massachusetts Governor said in 1925, “the chief business of the American people is business. They are profoundly concerned with producing, buying, selling, investing and prospering in the world.”

Jump forward to the present day and the 44th President is attacking a former businessman and another former Massachusetts governor, presumptive GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney. Either we’ve come very far from 1925 or the president is seriously out of touch with the business of the American people.

Coming soon to a school near you: a basketball team-sponsored…asparagus sale?

Coming soon to a school near you: a basketball team-sponsored…asparagus sale? Don’t act so surprised; the great Commonwealth of Massachusetts is well on its way to such a ridiculous thing.

As of August 1 in Massachusetts, schools will have to put a stop to basically any type of sweets or “competitive foods” – foods sold during the day such as candy which compete with meals served in the cafeteria. That includes bake sales and other fundraisers, which are the calorie-filled bread and butter of school organizations everywhere.

But it also goes one step further: not only will the ban hit foods sold during the day, but also door-to-door fundraisers, and even bake sales and the likes at football or other other games. Even community events and banquets at schools will be schools will be regulated.

Obama explains student loan debate through song on Fallon

Jimmy Fallon landed a big interview for his last night’s episode of “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.” It was such a big get, he labeled the episode the “Holy Crap Edition” in his monologue. His guest, of course, was President Barack Obama, who was looking to use the show to appeal to young voters and perhaps overshadow presumptive Republican nominee Mitt Romney’s election night victories.

The college-themed episode began with a song by Fallon and musical guest Dave Matthews titled “Walk of Shame,” which describes making one’s way home after a college party, wondering, “What the hell did I do last night?” and why do I have ”someone else’s pants on?” Material very worthy of the president.

Obama appeared later in the show to “SlowJam” the news with Fallon, which is a like a musical poetry reading. The president used the Slow Jam to tell young people about his quest to make sure interest rates on student loans don’t double from 3 to 6 percent in the only way they would understand – through song.

Work Isn’t Work Unless Democrats Can Tax It

Coming soon: the stay-at-home-mom tax! Because apparently, staying home to raise your five children isn’t working unless our Democratic friends can tax it.

Hilary Rosen, a partner at the public relations firm SKDKnickerbocker, said Ann Romney “has never actually worked a day in her life” in response to a question about the “war on women” during a Wednesday Anderson Cooper panel.

Easter Isn’t About Hate, Rev. Wright

If I had to place bets, I’d say only one Christian pastor across the nation delivered a sermon filled with hate over the Easter weekend. If I had to go further, I’d wager that the one pastor was the Rev. Jeremiah Wright – the famous, and now former, pastor of President Obama.

Wright traveled to Charleston, West Virginia to deliver several sermons as part of an Easter Week revival. Traditionally, I expect Easter Week sermons to consist of the message of Easter. You know, the one you learned in Sunday school years ago: forgiveness, hope and salvation as a result of the plight of Jesus and his eventual resurrection.

As you can expect, the Rev. Wright didn’t stick to that script. Instead, he delivered sermons full of hate and anger and declared it wasn’t him talking, but Jesus. He then started preaching that Wall Street, white supremacists, and racist exploiters worship different a different God.

Study Shows Young Voters Disillusioned. Obama’s Answer? Launch Another Website

You know things are bad when one of your key demographics think you’re performing poorly. That’s the problem the Obama’s reelection campaign is facing right now, as a new Resurgent Republic focus group memo shows.

In four different focus groups held with swing state voters (two in Raleigh, N.C. and two others in Columbus, Ohio), one thing was obvious: young American voters are not satisfied with the president. They are disheartened with the direction of the country and disappointed with how reality clashed with expectations when Obama took the Oval Office.

Louisiana is a Likely Win For Santorum, But A Romney Upset is Possible

Presidential candidate Rick Santorum may be putting a hold on the cheers of inevitability coming from Mitt Romney’s campaign after Saturday’s primary in Louisiana. One of the last deep south states left to vote this cycle, Louisiana is prime stomping grounds for a guy like Santorum and the polls are showing it.

The most recent PPP poll of the Pelican State has Santorum with a commanding lead of 14 points, while the Real Clear Politics average sits in the former Pennsylvania Senator’s favor at almost 11 percent. The best recent poll for Romney in Louisiana still had Santorum up by 4 and took place at the beginning of March.

‘Young Gun’ Kinzinger Takes Out Veteran Manzullo in Illinois GOP Redistricting Duel

Redistricting put 10-term incumbent Rep. Don Manzullo and freshman Rep. Adam Kinzinger in the same newly drawn district, setting up a Member-on-Member cut throat primary in Illinois’ 16th district, with Kinzinger coming out the ultimate victor after yesterday’s Illinois Republican primary.

In a controversial move, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor stepped in to support Kinzinger in the final days of the campaign. Cantor sent $50,000 his way for advertising from his ‘Young Guns’ Super PAC and called 34-year-old Kinzinger a “new breed of conservative.”

His endorsement didn’t come without blowback. Manzullo told The Hill Cantor should resign as House Majority Leader for getting involved in a primary. He even alleged that Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), who serves as House Majority Whip, – a co-founder of the National Republican Campaign Committee’s original ‘Young Guns’ effort – was “madder than hell” at the Majority Leader’s public support for Kinzinger.
