President Obama sold himself during the campaign as a Uniter. He was going to be post-partisan. He wasn’t going to demonize his political opponents. He was going to heal the nation and bring us together. Michelle Obama even said that he was going to “heal our souls”. Like most things [...]
It is pretty clear by this time that President Obama’s “stimulus bill” did not work. President Obama will try to salvage it and claim it’s working, or that really it was a two-year project (I don’t remember hearing that at the time), or that it was really only meant to “stabilize” the downturn (his [...]
With the Iranian elections an apparent farce President Obama finds himself in a dilemma. After three days of silence the best the President could finally do was issue a brief statement about the situation in Iran that was lukewarm at best. He said he was “troubled” at the violence and wants to see [...]
With word of GM’s Obama-mediated bankruptcy yesterday, a few thoughts came to mind:

Dick Cheney is the only Republican putting up a fight against President Obama and the Democrats and he has single-handedly turned the issue of torture against them. They thought they had a winning issue to hurt Republicans with, but now they are the ones being hurt by it. President Obama thought he could [...]
President Obama has been compared to Ronald Reagan in his ability to inspire the nation. It’s true, both men are similar in their ability to inspire, but what they actually inspired in people was vastly different.

I recently finished reading Amity Schlaes book, The Forgotten Man, in which she describes many of the follies of FDR’s handling of the economy during the Great Depression. One point that is made over and over...
