The Know Nothing Administration
We’ve never seen an administration full of so many know-nothings. After a series of scandals rocked the Obama administration, Republicans pounced on the opportunity to demand answers on the IRS targeting, media snooping, and a terrorist attack cover-up. Whether it was an official testimony or a press conference, the leaders of all these agencies plead ignorance or cast blame – which led us to ask what the need for their job was in the first place. Now it’s becoming clear that these scandals are merely distractions from the ultimate scandal.

Spring Job Slowdown
Let’s face it, the economy sucked before the Presidential elections. Political strategists everywhere thought at the end of the day, people would cast their ballot for the candidate who had the capacity to get them a job. In fact, Romney was poised to win on the economy alone. For a long time there was a question mark over how the Obama campaign machine could run on a record of a measly 300,000 private jobs added and a 1 million job loss in the public sector since he took office. Somehow, Obama’s team convinced the public (with the help of Bill Clinton) that nobody could have created jobs with the massive recession Obama was handed. America bought it. Now we still haven’t added enough jobs to cover what was lost in the recession and every jobs report that comes out is barely enough to...
