Charles Krauthammer takes a rather cynical look at A Strategy to Save Obamacare.
There goes Charles Krauthammer making sense again: A Better Plan for Health-Care Reform. The administration’s defense is to accuse critics of being for the status quo. Nonsense. Candidate John McCain and a host of other Republicans since have offered alternatives. Let me offer mine: Strip away current inefficiencies before ...
Uh oh. Kathleen Parker is rattling cages again: Sen. George Voinovich and the GOP as a Party of the South. Not all Southern Republicans are wing nuts. Nor does the GOP have a monopoly on ignorance or racism. And, the South, for all its sins, is also lush with ...
Charles Krauthammer’s Friday column examines the reasons for the collapse of Barack Obama’s massive health care reform: Obama Will Settle for Less on Health Care. Whatever structural reforms dribble out of Congress before the August recess will likely not survive the year. In the end, Obama will have to ...
Obama’s health care reform plans are in serious trouble, and Charles Krauthammer explains why: Why Obamacare Is Sinking. What happened to Obamacare? Rhetoric met reality. As both candidate and president, the master rhetorician could conjure a world in which he bestows upon you health-care nirvana: more coverage, less cost. ...
Charles Krauthammer says, “Our president likes his plumage.” Obama says that his START will be a great boon, setting an example to enable us to better pressure North Korea and Iran to give up their nuclear programs. That a man of Obama’s intelligence can believe such nonsense is beyond ...

A new Gallup poll has some interesting results; this year the number of Americans who described the Democratic Party’s views as “too liberal” increased to a historic high mark (46%), putting it slightly ahead of the number who say the Republican Party is “too conservative” (43%). However, it’s not great ...

Charles Krauthammer’s column today is about Barack Obama’s speech to the Muslim world, and his call for Israel to cease settlement growth: Barack Obama’s Israeli Settlements Canard. This first paragraph is the truly important point, and it’s the reality that most diplomats and politicians are constitutionally unable to acknowledge: ...

Charles Krauthammer’s column today is about the Obama administration’s newfound fondness for the policies of the Bush administration: Obama Adopts the Bush Approach to the War on Terrorism. If hypocrisy is the homage that vice pays to virtue, then the flip-flops on previously denounced anti-terror measures are the homage ...

Charles Krauthammer’s previous column provoked several angry responses from other pundits, and today he responds: The Torture Debate, Continued. This month, I wrote a column outlining two exceptions to the no-torture rule: the ticking time bomb scenario and its less extreme variant in which a high-value terrorist refuses to ...
Charles Krauthammer knows what’s behind Hamas’ latest phony offer of a temporary truce: The Hamas ‘Peace’ Gambit. WASHINGTON — The Times conducted a five-hour interview with Hamas leader Khaled Meshal at his Damascus headquarters. Mirabile dictu, they’re offering a peace plan with a two-state solution. Except. The offer is ...

Charles Krauthammer’s latest: It’s Your Country Too, Mr. President. Our president came bearing a basketful of mea culpas. With varying degrees of directness or obliqueness, Obama indicted his own people for arrogance, for dismissiveness and derisiveness, for genocide, for torture, for Hiroshima, for Guantanamo and for insufficient respect for ...
Another perceptive column from Charles Krauthammer on Obama’s Ultimate Agenda: There is every political incentive to make these interventions in the banks and autos temporary and circumscribed. For President Obama, autos and banks are sideshows. Enormous sideshows, to be sure, but had the financial meltdown and the looming auto ...
Charles Krauthammer on the absurd populist circus: Bonfire of the Trivialities. A $14 trillion economy hangs by a thread composed of (a) a comically cynical, pitchfork-wielding Congress, (b) a hopelessly understaffed, stumbling Obama administration, and (c) $165 million. That’s $165 million in bonus money handed out to AIG debt ...
I don’t know how many undecided voters are reading LGF, but if you’re still wavering, here’s a must-read article from Neal Boortz: To the Undecided Voter.
A great post at Hot Air with mucho video goodness, by Mary Katharine Ham, Guy Benson, and Ed Morrissey: The comprehensive argument against Barack Obama.

Charles Krauthammer points out what should be obvious to anyone who’s really been paying attention in this election; there’s one candidate who has consistently and deviously traded in race-baiting, and it’s not John McCain: Who’s Playing the Race Card? Let me get this straight. A couple of agitated yahoos ...
Charles Krauthammer, opinion, Barack Obama, John McCain, Election 2008
Charles Krauthammer is critical of both candidates in his Friday column: Obama & Friends: Judge Not? McCain had his chance back in April when the North Carolina Republican Party ran a gubernatorial campaign ad that included the linking of Obama with Jeremiah Wright. The ad was duly denounced by ...
Charles Krauthammer, opinion, Barack Obama, John McCain, Election 2008
Charles Krauthammer is not optimistic about McCain’s chances against an opponent as “calm and collected” as Barack Obama: Hail Mary vs. Cool Barry. [Obama’s] one goal: Pass the Reagan ‘80 threshold. Be acceptable, be cool, be reassuring. Part of reassurance is intellectual. Like Palin, he’s a rookie, but in ...
