If Obama accepts these recommendations, it would be a sign that he is capable of acknowledging when a policy is unpopular and reversing course on it. The Washington Post has the story:
President Obama’s advisers are nearing a recommendation that Khalid Sheik Mohammed, the self-proclaimed mastermind of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, be prosecuted in a [...]

With Barack Obama’s declaration, “Damn the American people! Full speed ahead!” the US Congress is perverting a parliamentary process that was designed only for budgetary issues that could reduce the deficit.

Next in New Jersey, he endorsed and campaigned for Democrat Jon Corzine for governor and he was defeated by Republican Chris Christie. Then in Massachusetts he endorsed and campaigned for [...]

Sarah Palin speaks at the Tea Party convention tonight at 9:00pm. All the cable networks as well as CSPAN will be broadcasting it. Unfortunately, I’ll have to watch it on CNN because our Canadian hotel does not have FNC. Boo! Anyway, even some Canadian newspapers have been covering the Tea Party convention. Even yesterday morning’s [...]
