More quotes by John Podhoretz
That distinctive presidential conduct is now gone forever, banished to the snows of yesteryear by Barack Obama. From the beginning of his presidency to the present, he has spoken specifically and in unprecedented fashion of Republicans as his rivals, his stumbling blocks, the primary cause of his troubles.
John Podhoretz
When Obama was inaugurated, he and his team had an insight - though whether the insight was conscious or not I don't know. But it was this: The TARP $700 billion price tag was a new kind of model.
John Podhoretz
This has always been the way of presidential politics. The president rises above the fray while his surrogates go on the attack. They throw the spears and fling the mud he sits upon the throne.
John Podhoretz
For Obama to save himself, he should be thinking about the example of an unlikely Republican predecessor: Richard Nixon.
John Podhoretz
The classic rule of thumb is that if you are an intellectual ideological magazine, you do better in opposition than you do if your views are reflected by people in power.
John Podhoretz
I was wholeheartedly attracted to the conservative atmosphere that permeated the city of Washington.
John Podhoretz
There's no light at the end of the tunnel in the Republican message, no promise of better things to come. There's only the present stagnation, followed by a slow decline.
John Podhoretz
You want a political culture that works to create conditions under which an economy can thrive? Since signing the Oslo Accords with the Palestinians, Israel has spent two decades working to unshackle its economy from its socialist roots, with remarkable results.
John Podhoretz
The great mystery is why robots come off so well in science-fiction films when the human characters are often so astoundingly wooden.
John Podhoretz
Conservatives must avoid the siren song of schism, or all is lost.
John Podhoretz
Comedians and impressionists used to be two different showbiz animals entirely, but now there's no such thing as a comedian who doesn't do impressions.
John Podhoretz
Christopher Nolan's astounding third Batman feature, 'The Dark Knight Rises,' represents the true maturation of the superhero movie - and provides the key to understanding the bottomless craving moviegoers have for these films, 34 years after the Christopher Reeve Superman gave birth to the genre.
John Podhoretz
Romney has adopted almost every position conservatives want their candidate to espouse: He's pro-life, he wants to repeal ObamaCare, he wants to cut taxes and cut the federal budget, and he wants an unapologetic foreign policy dedicated to the proposition that this too will be the American century.
John Podhoretz
Every great political campaign rewrites the rules devising a new way to win is what gives campaigns a comparative advantage against their foes.
John Podhoretz
I don't feel alienated from American culture, but I understand people who do.
John Podhoretz
By keeping most tax rates at present levels, Obama and the Democrats will claim that they have championed tax cuts for the middle class.
John Podhoretz
The presidency is not an entry-level electoral job.
John Podhoretz
As a matter of policy, increasing taxes on the most economically productive group, which already generates 60 percent of the nation's federal revenues, during a sustained period of economic doldrums is a wretched idea.
John Podhoretz
Pop culture is a reflection of social change, not a cause of social change.
John Podhoretz
Many people crave security and stability rather than risk-taking, and that doesn't make them any less American. They are the workers rather than the job creators, and all societies need both.
