President Obama and other Democrats are staking Ohio on the auto bailout. If they win here, it will be because they convinced Ohio voters that the economy is improving on President Obama’s watch and that Ohio is leading the way as a result of the auto bailout.

You can’t make this stuff up. On a day when the Middle East is on fire (literally, as Joe Biden would say), the Obama for America – Ohio Facebook page thought it would be a great idea to cheer Obama’s faithful fans with this: Jay-Z and Beyoncé will be meeting up with the President for an evening in NYC sometime soon.

This all started in November, 2010, when the GOP swept the Ohio | Read More »
