Column: From JFK to Obama, Democratic Presidents Have Shown Weakness i

March 5th, 2014 6:24 PM
It's pointless to pay attention to foreign policy when a Democrat is president, unless you enjoy having your stomach in a knot.

White liberals often arrogantly see themselves as more qualified to know how blacks should behave politically than blacks who are conservative. Bill Moyers is one such white liberal—a white liberal who has become wealthy by leveraging taxpayer-subsidized public television.

June 14th, 2012 8:14 AM
Might the man who once said of himself "there's been nobody who's a bigger Obama supporter" vote for Mitt Romney?  Maybe.  On today's Morning Joe, Donny Deutsch—ad exec, man-about-the-Hamptons and quintessential wealthy NYC liberal—declared that his support for President Obama is "wavering."
