Because the Supreme Court majority launched a direct attack on American democracy in the Citizens United decision by allowing unlimited and undisclosed campaign donations, which reversed more than a century of judicial precedent and directly violated the pledge to respect precedent by Chief Justice John Roberts during his confirmation hearings, and which followed private presentations by two justices in the majority to interested parties, this is a call to arms to the wealthy Democrats and liberals of America.

President Obama will receive great credit from historians and many voters in November for his triumph reviving the American auto industry, and making Made in America a badge of honor for this key sector of the national economy.

While President Obama lifts his presidency to champion the cause of jobs that are made in the USA, his Republican opponents stake their plans for power, to a degree that no great party in the history of the republic has ever attempted, on the prospect of the American economy failing.

This is a story about three great women and two historic waves that embody the political, social, cultural, economic and consumer waves that are transforming America and the world in real time.

As conservatives prepare for an urgent meeting this weekend to discuss their options in the 2012 campaign, they face an epic crisis of identity and electability that creates rising odds for the reelection of President Obama.

As Iowa Republicans prepare to caucus, Ron Paul’s big moment has arrived and will have a huge impact on the making of the president in 2012. In my view Paul is now the favorite to win the Iowa caucus. The final outcome of the 2012 election could be decided by a second Paul moment: whether he decides to run as an Independent candidate in November.

As President Obama and Democrats battle during this holiday season to enact a tax cut for the 99 percent of Americans who constitute the heart of the nation, House Republicans are making a seismic political blunder reminiscent of the self-destructive overreaching of then-Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) that rejuvenated the Clinton presidency during the 1990s.

The great issue in 2012 pits patriotic capitalism, which offers integrity and fairness to the 99 percent, against crony capitalism, which offers special power and privilege to the 1 percent.

I strongly support New Hampshire’s first-in-the-nation primary because voters in the Granite State take seriously their influence in choosing our next president. As the moment of truth approaches, let’s consider the candidacy of former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman.
