« Previous EntriesObama’s Trojan Horse
Your email:
“Not because I believe in bigger government — I don’t,” so Obama declared to Congress. Alas, can any reasonable person believe this?
Obama is using our economic crisis as an excuse to alter the American capitalist paradigm, setting Government up to spend everything and take care of everybody when we cannot afford to do so. He is reallocating [...]
Is Obama Winging It?
Your email:
Obama’s first days as President are a dichotomy. His overall ratings remain high, while agreement with his specifics since he became President are not. Many in America have put their faith and hopes in him, and will continue to do so for as long as they believe that the economy was inherited by Obama, [...]
Obama’s Governing Style (and Comparisons to George W.)
Your email:
In certain respects, this well written article summarizes my complaints about Obama so far and is a worthy read. See Obama’s Governing Styleby Tony Blankley. I think his governing style so far is not what we need, and its danger can be demonstrated so far with the flawed and risky Stimulus.
Worse, Obama’s style so far even [...]
Hugo Chavez El Presidente for Life?
Your email:
Unfortunately, Venezuela’s President and Pseudo-Dictator Hugo Chavez won his referendum to remove term limitations in his quest to stay in power forever. This man is the bane of U.S. foreign policy, by rallying anti-American forces in Latin America and the Third World. His oil reserves so far has afforded him the ability to finance [...]
Obama Gambles the Presidency with Stimulus
Your email:
I believe that Obama has unnecessarily gambled his Presidency over the pork-filled Stimulus Bill. If this package fails and is exposed for wasting tons of money and causing inflation, this could be Obama’s last term. It did not have to be this way; he could have structured and driven home his own bill, one without pork solely [...]
Middle East Peace – No Chance Until Gaza is Fixed
Your email:
In Israel’s latest election, the consensus is that the idea of Land for Peace is not dead, but it’s in a coma until Gaza is fixed. U.S. policymakers should take note of this. When Obama was elected, the usual analysis came out wondering whether Obama can deliver a peace deal, who the Middle East [...]

The U.N. Hates Israel
Your email:
Succumbing to pressure, the U.N. has reversed its claim that Israel targeted U.N. protected schools in the recent Gaza conflict. See UN backtracks on claim that deadly IDF strike hit Gaza school (Haaretz, 2/3/09). I am surprised that the U.N. even bothered issuing any retraction at all. Regardless, considering the fact that the U.N. drummed up [...]
Is Obama’s “Magical Mystery Tour” Over?
Your email:
Well conservative columnist Charles Krauthammer thinks so, and makes a good case that it is. You can judge for yourself: The Fierce Energy of Pork (Washington Post, 2/6/09). Whether you agree or disagree (I agree), it’s a worthy read.

Obscene Government Waste ($78 Billion!) with the TARP Bailout, and Stimulus is Now On Deck
Your email:
Elizabeth Warren, head of the Congressional Oversight Panel for TARP, testified today that the Treasury overpaid for toxic assets by as much as $78 Billion (see Bailout watchdog: Treasury paid too much). Her full report will be out tomorrow.
Well, no in depth commentary is necessary for this. Instead we have a staggering and inexcusable waste of [...]
