“It’s a website where you can compare and purchase affordable health insurance plans, side-by-side, the same way you shop for a plane ticket on Kayak, same way you shop for a TV on Amazon. You just go on and you start looking, and here are all the options.”
Barack Obama
Sept. 26,2013
"[A] sad moment for the United States. We have seen a Putin power play, based on a Kerry gaffe, leading to a face-saving presidential retreat — and this was apparently the best of the available options."
Michel Gerson
"I am very disappointed that the President has chosen to endorse those who have turned a case of assault and self-defense into a referendum on race and civil rights. And that he is using it to support those with an agenda of restricting gun rights."
Jeralyn
If oppressing your enemies and silencing your critics doesn’t constitute tyranny, I don’t know what does.
Matt K Lewis
"The truth is that Obama does not work particularly well with Democrats, so it seems ludicrous to imagine he would be fishing for chum in the Republican stream. He is a man who is all about himself, who relates well only to those who greet him with adulation. A man like that can lead a revolution, as witness Hugo Chavez. But America does not need a revolution, it needs a reawakening, a rededication, a revivification. That is not likely to come from someone whose idea of inspiring people to better their lives is to get them onto food stamps"
JAY D. HOMNICK
"Like commissars who read Marx’s books on the class-less society from their sumptuous dachas, Obama figures that he can contemplate the needs of the poor just as well from the Floridian Yacht and Golf Club."
GEORGE NEUMAYR
"That this underwhelming State of the Union – substantively and stylistically – will be treated as a serious effort reveals the bad shape our country is really in."
Kristen Powers
"Mr. Obama isn't a leftist lightweight or an incompetent; nor is he a little engaged chief executive who cares more about golfing, surfing, and taxpayer-funded multimillion dollar dates with Michelle than remaking the nation -- radically so. Mr. Obama is truly a rock-solid left-wing ideologue, with a strong strategic grasp, and a man who has Alinsky's tactics down cold."
J. Robert Smith

"A new federal assault weapons ban and background checks of all gun buyers....might have done little to prevent the massacre in Newtown, Conn., last month. The semiautomatic rifle that Adam Lanza used to shoot 20 schoolchildren and 6 adults complied with Connecticut’s assault weapons ban, the police said, and he did not buy the gun himself."
New York Times
"[T]he GOP's real mandate to fight Obama is based not on the selfishness of money, but rather on the moral obligation to protect millions of other Americans from the consequences of the left-wing idealist's naïveté -- because the socialist's agenda, when implemented, ultimately disenfranchises nearly everyone,"
Paul Murphy
"Only a true liberal would could come up with a plan to minimize the damage done to the economy by the expiration of $500 billion in tax cuts by raising taxes another $1.6 TRILLION, including $600 billion on ordinary, middle class Americans."
John Ransom
“We must reject the notion that protecting our national security requires revoking the constitutional rights of U.S. citizens. No president can act as judge, jury and executioner, and any attempt to do so is in direct violation of our Constitution, which gives our citizens a right to life and a fair trial,”
Rep. Dennis Kecinich
"I don’t know if Benghazi is a scandal because of bad foreign policy, “leading from behind”, true incompetence or criminal indifference. I have an opinion but as a citizen, I have no ability to investigate on my own. In the past, that was the role of the press, to be the surrogate of the public. That role is no more."
Utah
"Accusing the Democratic Party of buying votes with taxpayer money is like accusing Toyota of manufacturing automobiles"
JOHN HINDERAKER
" Collectivism is always a potent message for those who feel a sense of oppression and/or economic strain. Thus, it was the very economic difficulties experienced by Obama’s demographic cohorts that made the president’s message of inclusion and “fairness” (victimhood) so potent."
Wesley J. Smith
"One of the secrets of Barack Obama's success is his ability to say things that will sound both plausible and inspiring to uninformed people, even when they sound ridiculous to people who know the facts. Apparently he believes the former outnumber the latter, and the election results suggest that he may be right."
Thomas Sowell
"Have you noticed how many of our enemies in other countries have been rooting for Obama? You or your children may yet have reason to recall that as a bitter memory of a warning sign ignored on election day in 2012."
Thomas Sowell
"Imagine: If someone had told you that Barack Obama would receive 9 million fewer votes in 2012 than 2008, you would have predicted his sure defeat. You would have been wrong. Republicans blew a huge opportunity."
PAUL KENGOR
"It's called tyranny. That's what it is. And tyranny won last night."
Mark Levin
"[T]he conclusion to be drawn is quite simple: CBS News, in an effort to assist President Obama’s re-election campaign, corruptly concealed information about two critical issues–namely, a terror attack and the president’s dishonesty about it. When the players in the Libya scandal face investigation, so, too, should CBS News and those in the mainstream media who have wantonly assisted the administration’s shameless lies."
