By Karl Rove Apr. 15, 2011 President Obama’s wild rhetorical gyrations have become familiar. Earlier this year, for example, he called budget cuts proposed by House Republicans “extreme,” suggesting they hurt “our most vulnerable citizens.” Yet after agreeing to many of them last Friday, he praised them as “worthwhile,” “common sense,” and evidence America is [...]
By Karl Rove Jan. 16, 2011 The departure of press secretary Robert Gibbs is another sign that big White House changes are afoot. Rahm Emanuel, Barack Obama’s first chief of staff, was treated like a rock star by journalists. He made good copy with vivid quotes and manic energy. He also oversaw a clearly dysfunctional [...]
By Karl Rove Dec. 11, 2010 For agreeing to a temporary extension of all the Bush tax cuts, President Obama is now facing a full-fledged revolt within his party. The responses from congressional Democrats have ranged from chilly to angry to threatening. One asked, “Could we have a little fight before we cave? Why go [...]
By Karl Rove Oct. 17, 2010 The smears about campaign money also open the president to charges of hypocrisy. Mr. Obama had no problems with liberal nonprofits keeping donor lists private as allowed by law (including when they run campaign ads). He never insisted that the unions that spent $450 million to elect him in [...]
By Karl Rove Oct. 10, 2010 In March 2004, when Barack Obama was a candidate for the U.S. Senate in the Illinois Democratic primary, he excoriated President George W. Bush for creating a “jobless recovery.” The month he said that, 334,000 new jobs were created—none of them temporary Census ones—and unemployment was 5.8%. That was [...]
By Karl Rove Sept. 25, 2010 Sometimes the impending loss of power can cause people to say strange things. Consider House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who told reporters last week, “I don’t really even have the time to pay attention” to the attacks on her. “This is what campaigns are about. I sort of, like, thrive [...]
By Karl Rove August 29, 2010 In what will rank as one of the all-time presidential PR disasters, we’re now well over half way through what the White House called “the summer of recovery.” And what a recovery it’s been. Earlier this month, first-time claims for unemployment hit a nine-month high. The unemployment rate remains [...]
By Karl Rove August 22, 2010 Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid can say the darndest things. He certainly did last week when he proclaimed: “I don’t know how anyone of Hispanic heritage could be a Republican.” That must have thrilled his son, Rory, who’s trailing a Hispanic Republican, Judge Brian Sandoval, in the Nevada governor’s [...]
By Karl Rove August 8, 2010 It must have been gloomy for Democrats when the nation’s governors met last month in Boston for their annual summer get-together. The reason: If congressional races look bad for Democrats, the 37 gubernatorial contests are even worse. A quick survey of the political landscape shows six of the seven [...]
By Karl Rove July 23, 2010 Describing the White House last week, Congressional Democrats used words like “ineptness,” “neglected” and “disconcerting,” and phrases like “isn’t aggressive enough.” President Barack Obama has only himself to blame for these protests. Well, maybe more than just himself. White House press secretary Robert Gibbs may have spoken the truth [...]
