[...] Ben Johnson,The White House Watch Although he has grown Washington more than any president in a generation,Barack Obama is talking like a Jeffersonian states rights champion —in the one night,in the one state,on the one issue that would promote his top-down rejection of traditional morality. As Barack Obama prepares [...] Michael Oberndorf,FloydReports.com Democrats invented election fraud.
