Game Change: Obama’s Inexperience
I just finished reading Game Change: Obama and the Clintons, McCain and Palin, and the Race of a Lifetime. This books provides an inside view of the 2008 presidential campaign and all its personalities. If more than half of what is in the book is true, it is extraordinarily damning of the people involved in [...]

Health Care Reform Summit Arrogance
Here we are a year and a month into President Obama’s presidency and he has accomplished nothing and is still clinging to health care reform as if everyone wants it. The so called, “Health Care Summit” that took place a few days ago was bad political theater. The president either came prepared with Machiavellian lines [...]

The Emperor Has No Clothes
In the Hans Christian Andersen story called, “The Emperor’s New Clothes” there is an emperor who is swindled by two tailors. They tell the emperor that they have made the most amazing clothes for him. These clothes are so amazing that they can only be seen by people who are not stupid or incompetent. The [...]

Miss Me Yet?
You have to love all the ways that people devise for expressing their disgust at President Obama and his policies. The latest is a billboard that was leased by a few small business owners that show President Bush and the question, “Miss Me Yet?” Here it is:
I can honestly say that I do.

Obama Panders to Women
President Obama is considering submitting a $3.8 trillion budget on February 1st that exempts programs for women and girls from the spending freeze he proposed a few days ago. This is payback to women for voting for him and, more importantly, is also a way to appease women’s groups. Many of these groups are upset [...]

Democrats Weep Thrice Over
This week saw Scott Brown (R-MA) win Ted Kennedy’s old seat in Massachusetts, the bankruptcy of Air America and the evisceration of the McCain-Feingold campaign finance reform legislation. These three represent a major challenge to the Democrats going forward.
Senator-elect Scott Brown becomes the 41st vote and prevents the Democrats from having unlimited power in the [...]

What a Difference a Day Makes…
President Obama said today, “The Senate certainly shouldn’t try to jam anything through until Scott Brown is seated. People in Massachusetts spoke. He’s got to be part of the process.” I cannot imagine him saying that yesterday when he was still working on secret deals and arm twisting to jam through the health care reform. [...]

Scott Brown 52 vs. Martha Coakley 47
The world is already reacting to the stunning upset by Senator Scott Brown (R-MA). Brown is now the 41st Republican vote in the Senate. This victory will temper the Democrats’ arrogance, mandates, taxation and spending. Even our currency is reacting positively to this victory. Reuters reported today that the United States dollar rallied against the [...]

The Tidal Wave of “Change” Has Started
Obama ran on the premise of “change.” Unfortunately, his change is one that the electorate of this country is soundly rejecting. The real change has started with the three Democratic losses in Virginia, New Jersey and now Massachusetts—the bluest of states. It is so blue, that Obama carried Massachusetts by 26 percentage points and Kennedy [...]

Scott Brown vs. Martha Coakley
The Senate campaign in Massachusetts today is the battle that could reset the health care debate and put the United States back on track. I urge all residents of the state to vote today and send the loudest possible message to President Obama.
Let’s hope for a Brown victory tonight. It will be a victory for [...]
