A successful Hollywood producer who had an insider’s view of Hillary Clinton’s 2008 presidential campaign claims she heard Bill Clinton say that Barack Obama is not eligible to be president. Bettina Viviano – who started her own film production company in 1990 after serving as vice president of production for Steven Spielberg’s Amblin Entertainment – told WND that it was common knowledge among delegates committed to Hillary that the Clintons believed Obama was constitutionally ineligible and that Bill Clinton would eventually disclose his belief to the public. The Clintons were the original “birthers,” Viviano told WND in an interview in...

President Obama was heckled on Tuesday during an appearance at a New Hampshire high school. Obama had traveled north to the Granite State, which holds the nation’s first presidential primary, to discuss the economy and his proposal to extend a current payroll tax cut.

Obama’s recent announcement that he will appoint a commission to propose and possibly oversee the closing and sale of obsolete federal buildings is yet another delaying tactic which allows Team Obama to wear the mantle of fiscal hawks, serious about cost-cutting, while delaying the need for immediate action to reduce the ever-ballooning deficit. Kicking the can down the road to delay tough decision-making is becoming President Obama’s best sport. There are three good reasons why Americans should be skeptical of Obama’s recent proposal. First, Americans have seen Obama use commissions to provide cover and to buy time. The recent Fiscal...

FORT JACKSON, S.C., Jan. 27, 2011 -- First Lady Michelle Obama visited Fort Jackson today to learn from Army leaders about how childhood obesity and physical inactivity affects military readiness and what the Army does to combat these effects.

After giving a statement on the midterm elections earlier today, President Obama took questions in the East Room of the White House. ABC News reporter Jake Tapper reminded the President that, in 2006, former President Bush said “we took a thumpin’” after a similar political drubbing and plainly asked the the sitting president “what does it feel like?” Obama did not hesitate in replying “it feels bad” before launching into a reasoned and reflective explanation of the results.

You can listen live online to the President's call with supporters starting at 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on Wednesday, November 3rd.

President Obama is spending the next week crisscrossing the country in support of Democratic candidates before this year's midterm elections. While the president may do a great job of energizing the base, he may not be able to convert any Independents who have yet to decide for whom they will vote. Currently, two-thirds of Americans (67%) have a negative opinion of the job President Obama is doing while just over one-third (37%) have a positive opinion. This continues the president's downward trend and he is now at the lowest job approval rating of his presidency. These are some of the...

As a former ACORN official turned whistleblower, Anita Moncrief knows a thing or two about electioneering. In fact, in the months leading up to the 2008 election, she had been in contact with a writer at the New York Times – Stephanie Strom – about how the Obama campaign was corrupting the voting process. Taken in the context of Michelle Obama's alleged comments inside a polling station days before the 2010 elections, the first lady has added yet another sad chapter in the questionable practices of Team Obama and the electoral process, including the case involving the New Black Panther...

President Obama talks about global collaboration of "development" we can't "deliver alone."

Obama’s Interior Department, using lies to justify its offshore drilling moratorium, is already in the process of killing off as many private-sector jobs as any number of jobs bills could create. Meanwhile, we’re bailing out state and local governments that spent too much in boom times and got too cozy with their unionized workforces. The problem: At some point, the host organism is going to die. We can’t all work for the government, because someone has to produce something useful for government to tax.

Obama Plans First Oval Office Speech to Put Pressure on BP By JACKIE CALMES June 13, 2010 WASHINGTON — President Obama will use his first Oval Office speech Tuesday night to outline a plan to legally compel BP to create an escrow account to compensate businesses and individuals for their losses from the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, administration officials said on Sunday. It would be part of a week of activities intended to convey presidential command of a crisis that continues to test both the government and the company. Mr. Obama will press for the escrow account...

WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Barack Obama demanded that BP set up a compensation fund for the oil-tainted Gulf Coast and prepared for his first Oval Office address to the nation as he tried to wrest control of the environmental disaster threatening to overwhelm his administration. White House officials announced the steps Sunday as Obama prepared for his fourth visit to the tortured Gulf.

During the campaign for President, you'd often hear liberals claim that conservatives were questioning Barack Obama's patriotism. Then, you'd usually hear conservatives respond that, "No, we aren't questioning his patriotism; we just don't like his policies." Well, for the record, I do question Barack Obama's patriotism and his love of country. Yes, Barack Obama was born in Hawaii, but he doesn't act like an American President should. Perhaps that's not a surprise since his wife says he considers Kenya to be his home country. Is it too much to ask that we have a President who considers America to be...

"President Barack Obama is introduced by Father Vien Nguyen, pastor of Mary Queen of Vietnam Church in New Orleans, which has been helping with the Louisiana Gulf Coast oil spill relief effort, as he hosts a reception to celebrate Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month in the East Room of the White House"

Members of the Obama administration, who soundly condemned Arizona's new immigration law, are now admitted that they have never even read it. Could President Obama and Mexican President Felipe Calderón find themselves in the same boat based on comments they made today at their joint appearance on the White House lawn? Let’s review. The first person who had to admit he had never read the Arizona law Attorney General Eric Holder made his admission last week. On Monday, it was Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano's turn. On Tuesday, State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley revealed that he, too, had not read...

NEW YORK (CBS) Despite the harsh criticism of the possible New York City anti-terror cuts, President Barack Obama walked straight into the lion's den on Thursday. He met with NYPD officers whose budgets may be slashed, then took cash from the Wall Street fat cats he's very publicly ripped apart. The irony is hard to ignore – President Obama schmoozing with New York's Finest, thanking them for their handling of the Times Square bomb scare, just one day after the White House said it may be slashing the city's terror-fighting fund. On Thursday, President Obama promised federal support. "And we...

Kenyan officials affirm: Obama 'son of this soil' April 12, 2010 By Drew Zahn © 2010 WorldNetDaily On the floor of the Kenyan National Assembly the day after Barack Obama was elected U.S. president, members of the African country's parliament celebrated "a Kenyan ruling the USA," calling Obama "a son of the soil of this country." As WND reported, Kenyan MP James Orengo asked the nation's parliament only last month, "How could a young man born here in Kenya, who is not even a native American, become the president of America?" "Could we allow … a Motion for Adjournment so...

Take a good look at the picture in the featured article. Noticed how “aged out” President Barak Obama is. Not surprising at all, since it has been the practice of President Obama to go after ANYONE who opposes him and stands in his way. Not very good President Obama. Maybe if you stop attacking those whom you do not like, then you would not be “aging out”.

To understand the fall of Barack Obama (the largest drop for a president in Gallup's approval ratings in half a century), start with his notion that he's exceptional and America isn't. Asked by a Financial Times reporter last April if he believed in American exceptionalism, Obama replied: "I believe in American exceptionalism just as I suspect that the Brits believe in British exceptionalism and the Greeks believe in Greek exceptionalism." So we're kidding ourselves. There's nothing objectively special or exceptional about America. If we didn't exist, the Greeks could have done the job of stopping the march of Nazism and...
