Resuming in the “Big Lie” section of the speech, in which the President grossly misrepresents the Ryan budget proposal. Here's the next paragraph: It’s a vision that says America can’t afford to keep the promise we’ve made to care for our seniors. It says that 10 years from now, if you’re a...

Resuming in the “Big Lie” section of the speech, in which the President grossly misrepresents the Ryan budget proposal. Here's the next paragraph: Go to China and you’ll see businesses opening research labs and solar facilities. South Korean children are outpacing our kids in math and science....

Before we get into the next section, I need to preface it with a couple of observations. The paragraphs I discussed in the last installment set the stage for what follows, a lengthy and...

All Our Skewed Priorities
Continuing my dissection and analysis of President Obama's April 13 speech on how he plans to reduce the deficit: So here’s the truth.
