No Jobs, No Leadership: Obama’s Big Fail
You can parse the numbers however you like, but the latest snapshot of the labor market released by the government on Friday tells a dismal story that is already familiar beyond the realm of professional economists and policymakers: The American economy is in grave trouble. We have no engine for growth, no good reason for businesses to believe that actual human beings will soon have more money to spend, which means employers are inclined to hunker down and keep their costs low by limiting their writing of paychecks.

Nathaniel Zelinsky: Obama Got It Right
I just sat with 50 other Yale students for over an hour to hear the president speak about a grave issue of national security.

Michael Ratner: To Hell with the Constitution: Obama Goes To War
