Barack Obama News

Fears that President Obama would attempt to assimilate immigrant communities into a new America that entrenches multiculturalism and acceptance of large government—in other words, an America that differs in important ways from the country we once knew—are being sadly confirmed. The White House on Friday quickly followed the president’s controversial executive order by announcing the formation…

Ready to pay more for Internet access? Me neither. Unfortunately, that's exactly what we can expect under the "net neutrality" rules being pushed by President Obama. "Net neutrality" may sound harmless, but there would be nothing neutral about this change. Currently, broadband providers such as Verizon, AT&T and Comcast are treated differently than traditional telephone…

According to the Associated Press, as well as House Minority leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., Reps. Luis Gutierrez, D-Ill., and Zoe Lofgren, D-Calif.,  President Barack Obama’s plan to provide executive amnesty to more than 5 million illegal immigrants is no different than unilateral actions that were taken by Presidents Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush. However, this claim…

The election results were a crushing political blow for the Obama administration, giving Republicans firm control of both houses of Congress for the final two years of his term. But this in no way signals the end of the president’s policy agenda. It simply shifts the action to regulatory agencies. In the days since the…

Foreign affairs may not have played a big part in the midterm elections, but that doesn’t mean all is well with current foreign policy. A CBS poll the week before the election found only 34 percent of Americans approved of the president’s handling of foreign policy. Within our foreign policy establishment, there is widespread bipartisan…

Will the Federal Communications Commission tax the Internet? It’s very possible, said FCC commissioner Mike O’Reilly at a conference sponsored by the Free State Foundation in Washington on Friday. The tax, which could total over $7 per month on the typical American’s broadband bill, would be imposed as a consequence of regulating the internet via…

The White House is preparing to announce a 10-point immigration plan that President Obama would implement with an executive order. Details of the proposal were shared with Fox News today and could be announced as early as next week. The plan could spare 4.5 million illegal immigrant adults from deportation. >>> Heritage’s Alternative: 10-Step Checklist…

President Obama made life a bit more difficult today for Tom Wheeler, the chairman of the Federal Communications Commission. In an unusually deep wade into the decision-making process at the supposedly independent FCC, the president came out in favor of imposing common carrier regulation on America’s Internet service providers, saying in a video released by…

Breaking news! The fate of the world doesn’t hang on the outcome of an American midterm election. The make-up of the new Congress might make it easier for President Obama to tack toward a more responsible foreign and defense policy, but that’s not likely to happen. The major flaws of American foreign policy arise from…

How should colleges and universities deal with sexual assaults that occur on college campuses across the country? In 2011, the Obama administration provided top-down “guidance” from the Department of Education. But the Obama administration solutions, in the form of coerced mandates from the department’s Civil Rights Division, aren’t going over well—and not just because they…

There was something missing from a campaign event where President Obama spoke on Sunday–a crowd. Even in Pennsylvania where there is a hotly contested governor’s race, the president couldn’t fill half the arena at Temple University–and that was all he had to do because organizers, likely fearing empty seats, had already put up curtains to…
