Gas Prices Obamanomics
Since President Barack Obama took the Oath of Office in early 2009, gas prices have soared beyond anything that could have been imagined during the Bush administration. It begs the question: ”how’s the Hope and Change workin’ for ya?” What has caused gas prices to soar during a democrat’s watch? Wasn’t there supposed to have been a chicken in every pot and 3 acres and a mule? What happened to all the promises of national prosperity? Makes you wonder. Here’s an infographic depicting the surge in fuel prices since Obama took office, just...

Just last week we wrote about the so-called “anybody but Romney” GOP year, but after narrowly winning the Iowa Caucus, Romney has demonstrated his clear ability to lead and to gather support, especially as his competition begins to wane.

Rick Perry’s campaign may have had a hand in leaking the news. Honestly, that doesn’t make Perry look too hot either. In fact, little is more solid in holding off heat than adt home security. But the sexual...

It comes as no surprise to most Americans that jobs and the economy were the front-most topics at last week’s GOP debate that was hosted by Fox News and Google. Since Google went our of its way to throw together some useful data after the event, the precise amount of airtime the jobs crisis took up is known, and comes in at 26 percent of the 95 minute long debate. There were nine candidates on stage, yet only two of them—Rick Perry and Mitt Romney—received the most attention for 34 percent of the entire event. Nothing like some Google analysis to put things into perspective....
