Mitt Romney & Herman Cain are not very strong brand names. This new poll of potential 2012 general election match-ups has President Obama tied with a “generic” Republican but comfortably leading the brand names Romney & Cain. President Obama 43% Fictional “Generic” Republican 43% President Obama 49% Mitt “Flip Flop” Romney 43% President Obama 49% [...]

1. President Obama ends the Iraq War (over 8 years since George W. Bush’s “Mission Accomplished” stunt.) 2. Libya dictator Muammar Gaddafi captured & killed. Libya is yet another in a long string of foreign policy victories for President Obama (most notably ending the war in Iraq & the killing of Osama Bin Laden.) 3. [...]

President Obama has proposed the very popular (even Reagan was for it) “Buffett Rule” which would ensure that all millionaires pay at least as much in taxes as those in the middle class. Now it appears that Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain has his own rather twisted version of the “Buffett Rule” too: As a [...]

While Republican politicians are against it, 73% of Americans support President Obama’s “Buffett Rule” which would make sure that millionaires pay at least as much in taxes as those in the middle class.

President Obama is now pushing for $4 trillion in deficit reduction, significantly more than the $2 trillion deficit reduction the GOP wants. The big disagreement is that President Obama wants to end the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy (which would cut a huge amount of money from the deficit) while the Republicans want to [...]

A new PPP poll has President Barack Obama with commanding leads over all Republican challengers in Minnesota. The Republican coming closest is former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty but even he is down by 8. (BTW; Pawlenty has unveiled an absolutely insane plan to put the US into even more debt by giving millionaires even more [...]

Wisconsin Republicans have been caught on tape hatching a plan to run fake Democrats in July’s recall elections. These recall elections will determine the fate of the six Republican Wisconsin State Senators who have been recalled because of their votes for Governor Scott Walker’s union busting bill (which has since been struck down by a [...]

The 268,000 private sector jobs added in April are the most added in a single month since 2006. There’s still a long way to go before the US gets back all of the jobs lost during The Bush Recession but at least we are headed in the right direction. This is despite the Republican majority [...]
