Krauthammer has this to say about the Small Business Jobs Bill:Charles Krauthammer: "First of all, it's about targeting tax cuts. This is how liberals operate.

A little bit of a double standard here.Barack and Michelle Obama put their girls off-limits to the news media after they moved to the White House, saying they wanted to keep their daughters' lives as normal as possible.
