All Robert Reich

President Obama and Democrats can take some comfort in the latest jobs report, Reich writes, but they should be concerned about the continuing decline of wages.

Friday's jobs report is likely to sway some voters – and therefore have an impact on this tight race. But Reich says it shouldn’t.

A misleading Ohio attack ad is the latest example of GOP candidate Mitt Romney's mishandling of the truth, Reich writes.

An America with Republican candidate Mitt Romney as president would be rational and efficient, guaranteed to maximize profits but fundamentally unfair, Reich writes.

The biggest issue on which the presidential candidates have given us the clearest choice is whether the rich should pay more in taxes, Reich writes.

GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney has put a giant question mark over the future of the economy, Reich writes, with President Obama offering a more certain alternative.

The last presidential debate was a clear win for President Obama, Reich writes, as GOP candidate Mitt Romney seemed to wither. 

Romney has always savored details when it helps him make money, Reich writes, but when it comes to running or holding office he’s been a standout for keeping the public in the dark.

President Barack Obama should counter Mitt Romney’s extraordinary solicitude toward Wall Street with a proposal to cap the size of the nation’s biggest banks, Reich writes.

President Obama seemed steady and relaxed in last night's presidential debate, Reich writes, a departure from Obama's rigid and passive performance in the first presidential debate.

Robert Reich sends his advice to President Obama in anticipation of his second debate with Mitt Romney.

Overall, Thursday night's presidential debate was Joe Biden's night. He not only trounced Paul Ryan, but also, in the process, trounced Mitt Romney.

Hyper-polarized Washington hasn’t shown itself capable of rational behavior, Reich writes; It's why the nation is heading over a fiscal cliff that may begin to look more like a hill whose slope remains uncertain but will almost surely be gradual.

The biggest motivator in this election isn’t enthusiasm about either of the candidates, Reich writes. The biggest motivator is fear of the other guy.

Better-than-expected employment numbers from September's jobs report was a relief for the White House, Reich writes. But the economy is still growing too slowly.

Romney stayed on script while Obama struggled to think on his feet in the first presidential debate, Reich writes.

What would happen if Robert Reich moderated a presidential debate between Barack Obama and Mitt Romney? Reich offers his thoughts on what questions Romney and Obama should be asked in Wednesday's presidential debate. 

With the first presidential debate on Wednesday and a crucial jobs report on Friday, it's a big week ahead for Obama and Romney. Reich argues that the jobs report will be the biggest election news of the week.

Can Mitt Romney recast himself as a compassionate conservative in an effort to boost sagging poll numbers? Reich argues it's too late.

Some say Romney is simply a bad candidate, but Reich argues that Romney's struggles can be tied to a growing public's distaste with the GOP.
