I highly recommend visiting any presidential museum that is near your home or in a city that you may travel to as part of a vacation or on business. To find a museum closest to your home, click here.

My first visit to a presidential library was to the Nixon Library right after it opened. I have learned over the years that the vast majority of Americans have no idea what a presidential library is (a museum) and very few have ever visited one. I have made it a point to visit every presidential library if I am in the area. Each one is unique and is comparable to the Smithsonian Institution as to quality. The Carter museum is one of the finest I have seen. Nixon’s is probably the best, comparable in every way to Reagan’s. An excellent site is the Nixon Foundation.

In my opinion, President Nixon accomplished much. His influence in the world, for peace, is undeniable. He was the first president to visit China and the Soviet Union. His tough private negotiations, combined with diplomatic public rhetoric altered the course of history for good. The blotch in his reputation at the end is testimony to us all that much good in one’s reputation can be eclipsed by one decision of poor judgment.

Yesterday, I took the day off work to take my 15-year old son Blake to the Nixon Library. He has been to the Reagan Library and but not yet to the Nixon (at 15, I actually did not think he would choose the library over surfing!). Following are about 30 photographs with brief stories to describe some of them (these do not even scratch the surface of what you will see in a presidential museum):

Obama has a problem with women. And now, his surrogates are attacking Ann Romney. Stay tuned for Jayde’s comments on this topic very soon here on MRC!

Obama is expert in some very important and even crucial aspects of politics. One positive aspect is image — remember his transformation of 2008 to become America’s savior of sorts? Another is the negative that gives “politics” such as terrible reputation: Obama’s cunning ability to deceive and distract using very subtle and not so subtle methods of obfuscation.

Regarding politics, Barack Obama is never to be underestimated (I know Gov. Romney never does). There is much to discuss and debate about our current president — In future posts, I will be referring to Obama’s rhetoric and decisions as the “Obama Obfuscation.”

Out of respect for the Office of President, I will never refer to Obama with the label “liar” but I do believe that he will use any method to deceive to Americans and the world at large. There is no question at all in my mind — none (I realize that what I write here is strong language, but it is true and I will therefore not hide the truth). I could cite several examples of his lies from just the last two weeks. One recent lie was his stating that ObamaCare passed by a “strong majority” in the House when in fact it barely passed by seven votes (219 to 217). These are not mere exaggerations — they are lies — meant to deceive voters that receive their information from TV. More about Obama’s frequent integrity problems in later posts.

The most frequent question I have received these past two weeks or so from friends and family members is, “Why is Romney doing so poorly with women?” and the follow-on question is, “What is Romney going to do to improve his standing with women?”

Governor Romney has done nothing (my opinion) to warrant this drop in the polls of women’s perceptions of him. That said, multiple polls do not lie. I think there are a number of factors involved here. One very important factor is the whole public debate on contraception that was first mentioned by George Stephanopoulos in a debate when he posed a direct question to Gov. Romney. Recall his answer? He forcefully put it back to him as a nonsensical question, in effect. But later on the campaign trail, Senator Santorum took the bait when Obama surrogates argued the merits of ObamaCare forcing all employers to pay for contraception, even faith-based employers. The public was left with the perception that this was a women’s issue, not supported by Republicans when in fact the issue was a freedom issue. Ultimately, Obama acquiesced, stating that churches could receive an exception, but his intent to deceive and distract won the day. Republicans lost the image battle by default, and Governor Romney, the de facto Republican standard bearer, got tagged with the tarnished image.

Any person that studies Gov. Romney’s family life, church service, record as governor, and business career quickly learns that his life is filled with countless instances of supporting, defending, promoting, and rescuing women in society in general. Few male leaders that I know of compare to his record in this regard.

Obama will soon be learning about facts. In 2007 and 2008, Obama didn’t have to worry much about facts since his political slate was blank, for the most part. Right about now, I am certain he longs for those days when he could easily shape his image of “hope and change.” Those days are long gone. Governor Romney and other conservatives will be conducting methodical truth-letting of the Obama record.

What about this factoid in our effort to truth-letting of Obama’s record with women?

Female employees in the Obama White House make considerably less than their male colleagues, records show.

According to the 2011 annual report on White House staff, female employees earned a median annual salary of $60,000, which was about 18 percent less than the median salary for male employees ($71,000).
[...]
But the president has demonstrated a strong preference for all-male foursomes in his frequent golf outings, a bias that extends well beyond the putting green and into the Oval Office.

“Women are Obama’s base, and they don’t seem to have enough people who look like the base inside of their own inner circle,” former Clinton press secretary Dee Dee Myers told the New York Times.

In fact, Obama’s record nationwide for employed women is not only dismal, it is getting worse:

It’s been over 10 months since the race began.

It turned out to be a marathon, not a 50 yard dash. Some GOP primary runners sprinted off the starting line, others jogged. As the contest proceeded, some forged ahead then faltered, surged then slogged, took the lead then limped away.

Along with blistered feet, there was blistering rhetoric. We’ve heard warm-up and wind-down speeches and everything in between. It’s been a real spectator sport and at times, a spectacle. But, mostly, it’s been spectacular. Every runner enriched the race. Each competitor pushed the others to run stronger, better.

While not officially over, the tape stretching across the primary finish line is, at last, in sight.

Who do we see coming down the home stretch?

We see the runner who was oft derided because he didn’t grandstand. The runner marginalized because he was steady. The runner who gauged his pace while others flashed past. We see the runner whose lifelong preparation, principles, and message gave him the strength to recover from bumps in the road. We see the runner who wasn’t rash, but knew when to rush. We see the runner who, in the end, proved he had the stamina and stuff to win…

Mitt Romney.

Carl M. Cameron (Real Clear Politics) writes:

Resilient Romney Bests His Last GOP Challenger

… Romney… proved to have one key prerequisite to running a competitive general election campaign: He can take a punch. When he got decked, which happened repeatedly, sometimes by his own corner, Mitt Romney picked himself off the canvas and began launching haymakers on whatever rival was standing in his way — and there were several of them.

… No Republican candidate ever captured the nomination after having trailed so many rivals at one time or another in straw votes, fundraising, public opinion polls, and buzz. They came at him in waves, as though they were running a relay race and Romney was running a marathon by himself. In the ended, he bested the entire tag team of Trump, Bachmann, Perry, Cain, Gingrich & Santorum.

Romney’s last two competitors are trotting a mile behind:

One Romney adviser said Tuesday that the campaign would mostly refrain from engaging Newt Gingrich and Ron Paul, although both men vowed in similar language to remain in the race as the conservative alternative to the front-runner. The focus, this Romneyite said, would be “on Obama and bringing the Republican Party together.”

Senator Pat Toomey offers advice to spectators determined to defeat Obama:

“Now is the time for conservatives to rally around Gov. Romney and help deliver a victory in Pennsylvania and America this November,” conservative Sen. Pat Toomey said in a statement issued hours after Santorum’s withdrawal. “I am confident Gov. Romney will be a great president and will return our country to the conservative principles that make our nation great.”

Toomey represents Pennsylvania, a state Obama carried four years ago by 10 points. But with the sour national economy, the most recent polling shows it much closer than the race between Obama and McCain — and it’s not a state that Romney’s forces are planning to concede to the Democrats. As for the 11 states Romney lost to Santorum, for the most part they were either low-turnout caucus states or places such as Alabama, Mississippi, Missouri and North Dakota, where Republicans should win in November.

Cameron continues:

So perhaps there has been no lasting harm to Romney’s general election chances, despite all the punches that have landed on that still-handsome mug. But many conservatives remain wary. They will watch how Romney campaigns from now on, whom he picks as a running mate …

While politicos will now chatter about V.P. possibilities and we Romney supporters are breathing somewhat of a sigh of relief, we understand it’s a time for others to catch their breath, reflect, and face reality. Governor Romney earned the right to grip the GOP baton. He will be the one to take the race to Obama. Each participant made the race ever so exciting. Sincere thanks to all.

We hope all who love America and our opportunity society will soon rally to Romney. Like Senator Toomey said, we need everyone to chime in, cheer the baton-bearer, and help chase Obama from the White House.

Believe in Romney.

He can win this thing.

Then, America wins.

UPDATE 9: Finally… the video:

Welcome to all the new visitors to our site! We encourage everyone who can to show their support of Gov. Romney with a small donation to the campaign to defeat President Obama.

During the primary season, we have seen Governor Romney attracting a the greater share the women, Catholic, and Evangelical voters, much to the chagrin of Mr. Santorum. Governor Romney is also receiving a lot of support from seniors. I believe this is one aspect of the general election Obama is most worried about, among many. One big reason is because a very high percentage of seniors vote! Following are excerpts from a Wall Street Journal article published yesterday:

President Barack Obama and Democrats are counting on regaining support from older voters who switched to the GOP in 2008 and 2010 by attacking Republican plans to revamp Medicare. But Mitt Romney is proving to be a formidable competitor in this battle.

Rep. Paul Ryan / Photo: AP

The Republican presidential front-runner has drawn large shares of older voters during the primaries, and recent polls show him ahead of Mr. Obama among seniors in swing states such as Ohio, Pennsylvania and Florida.
[...]
Republicans say the Ryan Medicare plan would shore up the program’s shaky finances and preserve it for future generations, without affecting current retirees’ benefits. They also believe they can inoculate themselves against charges they are cutting Medicare, because Mr. Obama’s 2010 health-care law included provisions that curbed Medicare spending growth by some $500 billion over 10 years.

Republicans have noted that Mr. Obama’s limits on Medicare growth helped the GOP win a special House election in Nevada last year.
[...]
Mr. Obama and fellow Democrats are trying to reverse a growing trend: Over the last decade, voters over age 65 have increasingly turned to the GOP, in stark contrast to the Democratic-leaning “Greatest Generation” that preceded them. In 2008, Mr. Obama improved on his party’s 2004 showing among every age group—except among seniors.
[...]
Seniors favored GOP nominee John McCain in 2008 by 53% to 46% for Mr. Obama. Things got worse for Democrats in 2010, when older voters favored GOP candidates by 59% to 38%.

Seniors have been drawn to support Mr. Romney in GOP primaries in part because he has focused so much on the economy—the top concern of older voters, surveys find. Older people also tend to be more change-averse, and many are reassured by Mr. Romney’s reputation for pragmatic competence. “He did a good job in Massachusetts and I know he did an excellent job with the Olympics,” said Alice Allen, a retired Mississippi insurance agent who voted for Mr. Romney in her state’s primary.
[...]
Mr. Romney has embraced Mr. Ryan’s latest budget. “A few common-sense reforms are going to ensure that we can make good on our promises to our seniors and we can also save Social Security and Medicare for the future generations,” said Mr. Romney in a Detroit speech, when he also called for increasing the eligibility age for Medicare.

The Obama campaign has gone on the attack, sending Vice President Joe Biden to retiree-rich South Florida. “There’s a fundamental difference between us and the Republicans: We believe in strengthening Medicare. They don’t,” said Mr. Biden.
[...]
Some older voters are growing weary of the scare tactics. “I’m tired of the fear mongering,” said Dawn Heilman, a retired teacher in Ohio who backs Mr. Romney. “If you are realistic you have to accept some changes.”

UPDATE - Mitt Romney issued the following Easter statement:

“As we take time off of the campaign trail to gather with family and friends this Easter weekend, we celebrate the Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ and the hope which he brought to all of mankind. We are thankful for our brave men and women in uniform who are serving our country in the armed forces and are away from their families on this special day and we pray for their safe return home. And may the hope and promise which we celebrate at Easter remain with all of us throughout the year.”

Here’s to wishing a wonderful Season of Passover and Easter to all!

As an American, I do not think that a presidential candidate’s religion should be a determining factor at all in whether that person is considered a viable presidential candidate. I do however think that since our nation’s founding documents were formulated and written, based upon Judeo-Christian values and ethics, any American president’s life, record, and stated policies should exemplify those values. Governor Romney’s life in service as a Christian, combined with his public service record, provide immutable evidence that he is an exemplar of the highest of Judeo-Christian ethics.

Michael Medved

In this season of Passover and Easter, I felt it appropriate to draw some attention to the natural affinity many Jews feel toward Romney, in part because of his faith — especially in light of recent bigotry exhibited by Christians and non-Christians alike (see Jayde’s article here).

Michael Medved, a Jew, wrote a piece for The Daily Beast, called, Why Jewish Voters Might Like Mitt Romney: His Religion. Following are some excerpts:

Mitt Romney’s Mormon faith, so often described as an impediment to his political prospects, might work to his advantage with one crucial segment of the electorate: Jewish voters.

The very fact that his Mormonism makes him less popular among evangelical Christians almost certainly makes him more popular among American Jews. Academic analysis of the intersection of religion and politics suggests that Jews maintain a distinctly—and surprisingly—favorable view of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
[...]
Concerning Mormons, Campbell and Putnam wrote in The Wall Street Journal: “We suspect that Jews’ warmth toward Mormons stems from solidarity with another group that is small and subject to intolerance. Jews and Mormons are the two American groups most likely to report that other people disparage their religious beliefs.” If this analysis accurately describes Jewish sentiments, then every time some born-again clergyman attacks Romney for his Mormon faith or describes the LDS church as a “cult,” Jews probably look at Mitt more favorably, especially given the irrational, unjustified—but undeniable—Jewish hostility to evangelicals.
[...]

Working hard in Pennsylvania

Of course, most evangelical leaders similarly show their love for the Jewish people by backing Israeli institutions, leading tours of the Holy Land, and even defending our religious liberties when they’re threatened in the United States. When aggressive efforts to ban all infant circumcisions were undertaken last year in San Francisco and Santa Monica, evangelical Christians provided crucial backing to turn back the assault on our right to our rite.

There’s a special historical affinity between Jews and Mormons that may play a role in Romney’s relative popularity in the Jewish community.

But the prominent, powerful involvement of evangelicals in conservative politics alarms many in the Jewish community, which remains overwhelmingly liberal; 64 percent of Jews describe themselves as Democrats. Since most Jews also count as decidedly irreligious, shunning synagogue or temple membership and avoiding traditional patterns of observance, the chief sense in which they see themselves as distinctively Jewish involves their rejection of the core claims of Christianity. This means secular, liberal Jewish voters react with particular horror to any mixture of Christianity and politics. John Marttila, a pollster for the Anti-Defamation League, told the Jerusalem Post that “he believed that the rhetoric of the Republican primaries, particularly on religious issues, was alienating moderate Jews who might otherwise consider voting for the GOP.”

Romney has been a victim of that rhetoric far more than the source of it; he recognizes the lingering doubts about his own faith and has tried for the most part to avoid combining preaching and politics. This may not build his popularity among evangelical voters in the upcoming primaries in Pennsylvania or Texas, but it makes him far more viable in the Jewish community than his remaining Republican rivals.

Taking a quick hop away from the bunny trail to bring you the latest…

Here’s an intriguing look at a day with Mitt Romney through the eyes of the guy I call ‘Shadow Man’. In political speak he’s known as Mitt’s ‘Body Man’ – Garret Jackson:

Starting the Day, and Ending It, at Romney’s Side
By Ashley Parker
April 6, 2012

MILWAUKEE — Garrett Jackson and Mitt Romney are stuck together like the
peanut butter and honey sandwiches they both love.

Mr. Jackson, 25, is Mr. Romney’s “body man,” the personal assistant who spends more time with the candidate than even Mr. Romney’s wife, Ann, does. Mr. Jackson is often the first person to see Mr. Romney in the morning; the candidate is dressed and ready, waiting with his iPad, at least 15 minutes before Mr. Jackson arrives at his hotel room to fetch him. And Mr. Jackson is the last person to see Mr. Romney each night, before leaving him alone to call his wife and catch up with what Mr. Jackson calls “his fun books” — “The Hunger Games” trilogy most recently, he said.

Perhaps more than anyone else in the campaign, Mr. Jackson understands the likes and dislikes, the rhythms and moods, the quirks and habits of the famously reserved Mr. Romney. Mr. Jackson knows him so well that he recently began blogging about his days with Mr. Romney, an acknowledgment that a young, energetic and devoted aide might help voters connect to a candidate who has been called out of touch.

Mr. Jackson knows, for instance, that Mr. Romney’s preferred breakfast is McDonald’s pancakes (“We eat in the car most of the time”) and that for snacks and drinks, he likes Cherry Coke Zero, chocolate milk, water and Peanut M&Ms. Often on hand are the supplies for their beloved peanut butter and honey sandwiches.

He knows that Mr. Romney always wants a plan, so first thing each morning he lays out that day’s itinerary — everything from political events (“two town halls”) to appropriate attire (“business casual”).

“He always goes, ‘What’s up, boss?’ Or, ‘What’s up, doc?’ ” Mr. Jackson said, referring to Mr. Romney’s prompt for a schedule update. “He’s a very good listener, and then if he’s confused by something, he’ll start quizzing me.”

Mr. Jackson also knows that, more than almost anything, Mr. Romney hates being late. He views it as the ultimate politician’s affront, one of the few things that can rile him. Before the campaign started, if Mr. Jackson was running a few minutes behind in picking up Mr. Romney at his townhouse in Belmont, Mass., Mr. Romney’s bags would be waiting in a tidy pile outside the front door. “I knew that was his little nudge, his way of saying, ‘I walked out and you weren’t here; you were a little late,’ ” Mr. Jackson said.

The two once hopped out of a traffic-snarled taxi in Midtown Manhattan and sprinted — in the heat of summer, in jacket and tie, both carrying briefcases — seven blocks to a luncheon to arrive on time.

Mr. Jackson’s job is to anticipate the candidate’s every need, and his black briefcase is stocked with Sharpies, batteries, granola bars, collar stays, flag pins, hand sanitizer, Advil, Tide pens, chargers, note cards and half-eaten meals wrapped in napkins. He has offered his back as a hard surface on which Mr. Romney can sign posters and, at an event in Mason City, Iowa, Mr. Jackson dived to the floor to steady a rickety chair that his boss stood on to address a large crowd. Mr. Romney teased that Mr. Jackson only had to catch him if he fell — but a photo of Mr. Jackson crouched awkwardly, holding the chair, flooded the Web.

“After the infamous chair photo came out, he was calling me Mr. Chairman or Chairman Jackson,” Mr. Jackson said.

Jackson continues:

“I talk about his underappreciated sense of humor, the fact he’s just a normal guy,” Mr. Jackson said. “I’m always, like, ‘Gov, let me take your laundry,’ but he’d rather wash his own shirt in the sink, using an iron to dry it.”

He added, eyes wide, “I did not know that was possible.”

Mr. Romney usually does laundry once a week — either by hand in the sink or in a hotel’s coin-operated washing machine — and refuses Mr. Jackson’s attempts to send it out. “He’s so cheap,” Mr. Jackson said. “It costs, like, $5 per shirt in the hotel laundry.”

This article is an enjoyable must-read; continue here. Hats off to Mr. Jackson for taking good care of The Gov!

“Great to spend some time with the grandkids this week – looking forward to Easter weekend with the family.” ~ Ann Romney (Facebook photo – April 4, 2012)

As Mrs. Romney meets with and speaks to voters across the country, heads are nodding in approval. Women, particularly, are sharing their deepest concerns with her – namely the economy, jobs, deficit spending, and how much it costs to fill their gas tanks.

Knowing a great thing when they see it, the Romney campaign just released a new video ad featuring Ann. A few responses:

Politico – Maggie Haberman

The Romney campaign releases a video of Ann Romney, widely acknowledged as the most humanizing element of her husband’s camapign and the person who his team is relying on to help with women voters, talking about raising her family ahead of the holiday weekend.

Hot Air - Tina Korbe

Whoever had the idea to utilize Ann Romney more on the campaign trail deserves to be richly rewarded. It might be obvious that her sudden visibility is aimed partly to bridge Mitt’s gender gap, but she really does bring their family alive in a way Mitt just hasn’t yet.
[...]
. . . Ann Romney’s wistful remembrances of her sons’ childhood remind me of the inexorability of time. I can think of quite a few moms who would say just what Ann says at the start of the video.

“Even then you knew that these moments would be fleeting, but you didn’t really believe it because you were so in the moment of living with those boys,” she said. “It was pretty chaotic, and a lot of fun, but they were great times.”

Better use today well because tomorrow will be here before we know it!

Townhall - Erika Johnsen

. . . Mrs. Romney has been an asset in humanizing and softening Mitt’s image, helping to present him as a strong, loving father and family man — a quality that, thankfully, many Americans still respect and admire. It feels like Team Romney is finally starting to really realize just how crucial her input is, and they’ve got a new ad out this week emphasizing Mitt’s more nurturing side:

I’m just going to say it: the more I see of Ann Romney, the more I like her. She seems kind, steady, and highly capable, and I’d be A-okay seeing her as First Lady in the White House. Michelle Obama has been a fairly popular FLOTUS and a valuable player in her own husband’s campaign, but I think Ann Romney seems more than up to the challenge.

I love this video – Ann’s narration, retro feel of the Super 8 footage, and seeing the Romney boys when they were little guys:
