This election isn't about Barack Obama or Mitt Romney. It's about you. The other guys write $10 million checks and make $10,000 bets. But we've bet this campaign on you. ↗

Under the Obama administration, TSA has been operating without an administrator for a year and a half. After the president's first two choices failed to meet expectations, a new administrator, John Pistole, was finally approved on Friday. Unfortunately, it will be the fifth administrator in eight years. ↗

The young Obama's lack of playing time on the high school basketball team was due more to his ability than the coach's preference for white players. ↗

Obama has made America cool again - and more than that, he's made his own brand arguably the most powerful the world has ever known. ↗
