PRESIDENT OBAMA'S administration proposed a $100 per-flight fee on corporate jets and other turbine-powered planes that use the U.S. air-traffic system.

Don't those little people know that Air Force One is the only corporate jet that should be allowed to fly for free?

THE 'ONE-TRICK PONY': another whinny and Americans are still not impressed.

LARRY KUDLOW on Obama's bizarre tax attack. "At the end of the day, it sure looks like our president wants to raise taxes on wealthy Americans and large corporations in order to spend more and enlarge the size and scope of government."

My thought: any balanced budget amendment should include a cap on the percentage of tax receipts that can be spent on the government bureaucracy -- at all levels: local, state, and federal.

OBAMA VS. AMERICA: 2012 Spending edition. Note that since 2007, median household income (including 'the rich') has been stagnant or declining; spending has not.

CONGRESSIONAL BLACK CAUCUS: "We would be 'marching on the White House' if Obama weren't president." Chris Muir takes note.
