CURL: Obama: ‘Most Americans’ think nation is racist
For President Obama, the color of a man's skin is far more important than the content of his character. Published September 28, 2014
CURL: Obama’s breathtaking naivete at the United Nations
President Obama on Wednesday delivered a speech at the United Nations filled with his usual soaring rhetoric of global collectivism and the importance of "international norms." But the president also displayed a shocking naivete about global affairs, religion, Islam — a Pollyannaish interpretation on the state of the world and America's role in it.

CURL: Islamic State a deadly threat to America? More like politics as usual
CNN uber-host Wolf Blitzer said a remarkable thing recently. As he motor-mouthed through his usual breathless babble, stomping about the glitzy high-tech studio and gesticulating wildly at the "Multi-Touch Collaboration Wall," he threw out this little nugget. Published September 21, 2014
CURL: ‘I’m not Barack Obama’ is Democrats’ election mantra
This year, far more than the last midterm elections, Democratic candidates across the country are fleeing the incumbent president. Published September 17, 2014
CURL: Will Scotland split from U.K.? Ask Dr. William McDougal
Finally, an authoritative voice has weighed in on the Scottish independence question. Published September 14, 2014
CURL: Obama’s bungling alters midterms at 11th hour
While Barack Obama was playing his 190th round of golf as president, chilling out on Martha's Vineyard for a 15-day vacation at a $12 million mansion, the U.S. electorate began to change — fast. Published September 10, 2014
CURL: Obama: I’ll ignore the Constitution — but only after the election
When President Obama said Saturday that he was reversing his pledge to take executive action on immigration by summer's end, what he meant was simply this: I'll wait until after the midterm elections before I ignore the Constitution and break the law. Published September 7, 2014
CURL: Obamacare is about to decide the midterms - again
The @#%& is about to hit the fan. Health care costs are about to explode — again — and just in time for the 2014 midterm elections. Published September 3, 2014
CURL: With Islamic State, 9/11 anniversary, Obama’s incompetence is truly dangerous
On TV, incompetence is funny, sometimes hilarious. Jackie Gleason made a career of it on the old "Honeymooners" show; Tom Haverford is absurdly incapable on "Parks and Recreation"; and Michael Scott brought the Peter Principle to new heights in "The Office." Published August 31, 2014
CURL: Letter to Barack: Here’s what you missed on your vacation (LOL!)
Dear Barry — Boy, what a summer you've missed here in the nation's capital! Then again, you got outta town just in time! So much going on since you left for Camp Vineyard, so lemme' try to catch you up so when you get back to the office, you'll have a clue what's been going on (bosses blow, don't they?). Published August 24, 2014
CURL: Obama wants Ferguson to explode
If you had predicted six years ago that America's first half-black, half-white president would actually make race relations in the U.S. worse, they would have laughed you out of the room. Published August 20, 2014
CURL: Obama, Democrats target GOP foes with phony scandals
Who are President Obama and the Democrats most afraid of? That's easy to see: Just find the Republicans they target with phony scandals. Published August 17, 2014
CURL: Obama’s one achievement — outgolfing Tiger Woods
As Barack "Eldrick" Obama approaches his 200th round of golf since his election as president, here's a fact to put that into perspective: Since January 2009, Tiger Woods has played 269 rounds of golf. Published August 13, 2014
CURL: John Kerry fail: Secretary blows Mideast peace talks, rides girl’s bike
Could the milquetoasty, bloviating windsurfer and failed White House wannabe from Massachusetts be having a worse time of it? Published August 10, 2014
CURL: This time around, it’s the Democrats who are stuck with lousy candidates
It seems Republicans have finally figured out that with the world imploding, the U.S. economy flagging and the current Democratic majority looking to grant amnesty to 12 million illegal aliens, perhaps there are better things to discuss than abortion and rape. Published August 6, 2014
CURL: Obama making fools of the media
The Obama administration, the most politically calculating team in U.S. history, had once again succeeded, simply by falling silent. When disastrous news emerges, Team Obama does two things: refuses comment and charges its foes with playing politics. Published August 3, 2014
CURL: Come election time, Obama suddenly talks jobs — and God
You can always tell when it's election time: President Obama suddenly starts talking about the economy, and, weirdly, God. Published July 30, 2014
CURL: Obama, staffers not even pretending any more
President Obama and his sycophantic minions don't even bother any more to come up with plausible answers to queries from the suddenly awakened media. Instead, they just repeat past talking points — aware that they've been repeatedly proven false, but not caring a bit. Published July 27, 2014
CURL: The politics of death and dying
Everyone I've met during my two-plus months in Florida has been touched by dementia. Not a few people, or nearly everyone, but — Every. Single. Person. Published July 20, 2014
CURL: Obama administration cries racism to cover for unpopular policies
Have you heard the one about the black attorney general who sits down with a black reporter from ABC News to talk about America's first black president? "Sure is a lot of racism," says the AG. Rim shot. Published July 16, 2014
