WES VERNON, RA ANALYST — Herman Cain has had little money and almost no organization. That may change since his "breakout from the pack" drive for the Republican presidential nomination has gained traction. The candidate sees three kinds of people in the world: those who make things happen, those who watch things happen and those who say "What the heck happened?"... (more)

DAVID LIMBAUGH — If it's not narcissism, what explains President Obama's habit of demanding something against the people's will, being rejected, refusing to take no for an answer and berating the public he is pretending to represent? We saw it over and over with ObamaCare. By now, it's part of our national lore that he delivered some 54 speeches to sell the public on his scheme yet never made a dent in the public approval numbers... (more)

MICHELLE MALKIN — The trash generated by the "Occupy Wall Street" protests keeps piling up. So do the bills. Liberal media outlets claim the anarchic, anti-capitalist movement is more popular than the Tea Party. But wait until Americans across the country get a full picture of the costs of the aimless occupiers. In New York City, government officials estimate the month-long siege of Zuccotti Park has now imposed $3.2 million in overtime police costs on the public... (more)

NATIONAL REVIEW — Gov. Rick Perry has released a jobs plan. Or is it an energy plan? Or it is an EPA-reform plan? Or is it a trade-deficit plan? The plan is a bit of each, and it is a very good one. Governor Perry, under whom Texas enjoyed the strongest job-creation record of any large U.S. state, proposes to open up oil and gas production in areas in which American producers are either shut out or heavily restricted: the Gulf of Mexico, the Florida coast, and Alaska, among others...

PATRICK BRENNAN — California has produced some interesting laws over the years, many of them by referendum; but it is still surprising that, last year, the state legislature passed America's most powerful school-choice law, giving parents the ability to seize control of schools from teachers' unions...

ALAN KEYES — Many grass-roots voters (especially those who identify with the tea party) are reacting adversely to the elite faction's assault on the Constitution. With predictable opportunism, some candidates for the GOP presidential nomination are seeking to appeal to (or else deceitfully manipulate and exploit) these voters... (more)

NEWSMAX — President Barack Obama's signature healthcare reform suffered a major setback Friday as the administration pulled the plug on the assisted-living CLASS insurance program, after effectively admitting it was a boondoggle waiting to happen... (more)

NEWSMAX — He is Republican, pro-defense, and hawkish on the war. He is also an unabashed Christian, although his sect is viewed with suspicion and prejudice. Oh, and he's running for president. Based on the firestorm that erupted when a presidential candidate's religion was called a "cult," it seems clear we're talking about Mitt Romney and his Mormon faith... (more)

WASHINGTON EXAMINER — Now that Sens. Ben Nelson, D-Neb., Jon Tester, D-Mont., Jim Webb, D-Va., Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., and Joe Lieberman, I-Conn., have either voted against President Obama's American Jobs Act, or said they would if it came up for final passage, it is safe to say that the chief executive's second stimulus program is dead...

ASSOCIATED PRESS — A federal appeals court has issued a temporary ruling that allows police to detain immigrants that are suspected of being in the country illegally.

CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER — What do you do if you can't run on your record -- on 9 percent unemployment, stagnant growth and ruinous deficits as far as the eye can see?

WASHINGTON TIMES — The "Occupy Wall Street" protesters think the source of their angst is the "greedy" heart of New York's financial district. If these malcontents truly believed in economic justice, their hordes would mass at the gates of the White House.

ANN COULTER — So far, the only major accomplishment of the "Occupy Wall Street" protesters is that it has finally put an end to their previous initiative, "Occupy Our Mothers' Basements." Oddly enough for such a respectable-looking group -- a mixture of adolescents looking for a cause, public sector union members, drug dealers, criminals, teenage runaways... (more)
