THE FOUNDATION
"It becomes all therefore who are friends of a Government based on
free principles to reflect, that by denying the possibility of a system
partly federal and partly consolidated, and who would convert ours into
one either wholly federal or wholly consolidated, in neither of which
forms have individual rights, public order, and external safety, been
all duly maintained, they aim a deadly blow at the last hope of true
liberty on the face of the Earth." --James Madison, Notes on
Nullification, 1834
TOP 5 RIGHT HOOKS
Nobody Likes Obama Anymore
One year ago Monday, Barack Obama once again took the oath of office
that he has no intention of keeping. At the time, his job approval
rating was 52% with disapproval at 43% -- a comfortable position after
his election victory in 2012. Then he chose to shamelessly exploit the
deaths of 20 children at Sandy Hook Elementary. Once his gun control
agenda fell flat, however, scandal took hold -- Benghazi, the IRS and
the appalling launch of ObamaCare. Now, a year after his second
inauguration, Obama's approval ratings have reversed: 43% approval and
52% disapproval. In our opinion, though, that's still far too high and
far too late for a decline. He still has three years to go, buyer's
remorse notwithstanding.
