Wimp
Newsweek’s cover asks if Romney is too big a wimp to be president. Back in May a front page Washington Post story asked if Romney was a bully.
Business Bash
Many Democrats are saying that Republicans are misquoting the president by using his own words. Tim Cavanaugh explains in Reason.
Bain Drain
While Obama accuses Romney of outsourcing jobs at Bain Capital and Romney denies it, Michael Kinsley asks, “what’s wrong with outsourcing?”
Bipartisanship
In the Obamacare ruling shakeout over the Obama Healthcare Mandate, it appears that Roberts changed his mind after writing the, then, majority opinion overturning the individual mandate based on the commerce clause. He later wrote the new majority opinion upholding the mandate under Congress’ taxing power.
The chief justice isn’t the only one having it both ways. Obama has loudly insisted an estimated one zillion times on national TV that the mandate is not a tax (and he still does, now that he’s won).
After Justice Kennedy’s famous question, “can we create commerce in order to regulate it?”, it looked like the court wasn’t going to uphold the mandate as regulated commerce. So, the administration lawyers argued, hell yes, it’s a tax!
Not a Tax until it Was
The Supreme Court has determined that the only way the individual mandate gets to be constitutional is if it’s a tax. Let’s have a little fun listening to The White House insisting that it’s not a tax – here, here, and even after the ruling, here. If they are right, they would be lawless by the court’s reasoning, not that there’s anything wrong with that.
Would it be a rude to interrupt a press conference to find out?
