Obama’s Full Court Press.

In a little publicized, yet immensely important filing yesterday, the Obama administration has urged a federal judge not to use a general definition of “enemy combatant” when referring to those held at Guantanamo. This definition has provided a broad basis for holding prisoner, those who provided support to terrorist networks or organizations.
Instead, the current administration [...]

Why the Stimulus Bill must not pass.

The House of Representatives has passed the so-called Economic Stimulus Bill and has sent it to the Senate for their debate and approval. I am puzzled how anyone is persuaded that this liberal wish-list is in any shape, manner of form, the prescription for what ails us.

Obama’s Ominous Beginning.

With an unexpectedly brash display of arrogance and naïveté, President Obama has brought to an end the shortest honeymoon in White House history. Unlike Kennedy’s famous Hundred Days, when he cultivated his relationship with his rivals and saw the most important of his political initiatives pass with relative ease, Mr. Obama’s opening political act lasted [...]

Day 2 and Obama’s Problems Keep Growing

Well, we’re two days into Mr. Obama’s ascendancy to the throne and already the administration and the Democratic Party are in disarray.  Let’s take a look at in Mr. O’s Neighborhood.
 
The Press Office is, for all intents and purposes, non-functional. The staff can’t figure out how to log-in to their computers or program the phones [...]

Thoughts on the Inauguration

Having watched today’s coronation, er…I mean inauguration – which was, I must say, the best comedy on TV since Andy Griffith – I cannot let it pass without a few observations.

If the Founding Fathers Could See Us Now!

“The people have spoken…the bastards.”

“The people have spoken…the bastards.”
We have Dick Tuck, following a lost bid for the California State Senate to thank for this timely and eloquent statement. Unfortunately, it is more appropriate today than it ever was in 1964.  The American voters, most of whom know next to nothing of what their chosen candidate stands for, [...]

Barack Obama – The Unluckiest Man in the World.

You have no idea what life is like if you’re Barack Obama.  Why is that? Policies? No. He’s hopeful, he’s changish. He’s bad luck. You could say, you know what, everybody who’s nefarious seems to be involved in helping this guy get elected. But that’s just — you know what it is. Luck. The one [...]

World Reaction to a McCain Victory.

Today, Jonathan Freedland authored a comumn in The Guardian (UK) regarding world opinion if Obama is not elected. <link here> Below, is the reply I sent to the author via e-mail.
Although I profoundly disagree with the premise of your column (more about that in a moment), I did find it very well written and you stated [...]
