Ron Fournier

Palin seems to have forgotten that her poll ratings have plummeted since the summer of 2011.
Ron Fournier
I'm hearing echoes of Bill Clinton, circa 1996, in President Obama's reelection rhetoric.
Ron Fournier
Anything can go wrong in a debate, and Obama is not a perfect debater.
Ron Fournier
Clearly, the Obama presidency hasn't wiped out racial prejudices.
Ron Fournier
White House operatives went to great lengths to show Obama shifting focus from wars abroad to domestic issues at home.
Ron Fournier
We, the people. Manifest Destiny. Conceived in liberty. Fear itself. Ask not. Morning in America. United we stand. Yes, we can. In times of great change and tumult, presidents seek to inspire beleaguered Americans by reminding them of their national identity.
Ron Fournier
Obama will learn from his mistakes.
Ron Fournier
Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln and Roosevelt faced adversities that, in their times, seemed impregnable. Great presidents overcome great odds.
