Rather than approve a full year extension of the payroll tax cut &#8211; a plan I support &#8211; President Obama and House Democrats are demanding a short, two month extension. It is painfully obvious that the President has never run a business. If [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[13.3 million Americans are currently out of work. Unfortunately, I am beginning to believe the only job Barack Obama is interested in saving is his own. Lately the President seems more interested in appeasing his left-wing donors than promoting economic recovery. Let&#8217;s review. First, the president cow-towed to the left-wing base of the Democratic Party by blocking access [...]]]></description>
