Senior Obama campaign strategist David Axelrod made some comments to reporters today and in doing so, tipped the Obama camp’s hand on how they’ll battle Mitt Romney in the general election.  It appears the Obama camp sees Romney as the … Continue reading →

As was expected, the President’s American Jobs Act (AJA) was rejected in the Senate on a vote of 51-48 with two Democrats joining all Senate Republicans in blocking debate on the Bill.  There is absolutely no chance the AJA will … Continue reading →
