President Obama’s reported plan of withdrawing 5,000 troops from Afghanistan by the end of this year and withdrawing the additional 30,000 plus surge troops by year’s end 2012 is the wrong policy. Withdrawing those forces so quickly could lead to a power struggle in Afghanistan where the Taliban could crawl back out of the hole […]
President Obama’s address at the State Department last Thursday damaged what had already been a shaky alliance with Israel since he was elected. In the address, President Obama said, “We believe the borders of Israel and Palestine should be based on the 1967 lines with mutually agreed swaps, so that secure and recognized borders are […]
The unemployment rate rose to 9 percent for the month of April. There was some job growth but a large percentage of that number can be attributed to a mass hiring of 62,000 by McDonald’s. A staggering total of one million people applied for those McDonalds jobs. When the largest section of job growth is […]
President Obama’s decision not to release the Osama bin Laden death photo is alarming. You had CIA Director Leon Panetta just yesterday saying that the photo would eventually be released. War is a dirty business, and in the Arab world especially, the rumor mill has always run rampant. Not releasing the photo will only heighten […]
In our system of divided government, Congress passes laws and the President implements them.

New post on President Obama’s pseudo “energy plan:” President Obama last week tried to reboot his supposed energy policy during a much hyped speech at Georgetown University. The problem is that the Obama Administration does not have an energy policy to reboot. As with other major problems facing the country, the President and his team […]
The same day that President Obama announces his re-election campaign, Eric Holder’s Justice Department announces that Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and the other conspirators in the September 11th terrorist attacks will be prosecuted by a military tribunal – a direct violation of a key campaign pledge Obama made during his last run for president. Coincidence? This […]
Guest post on Cagle regarding the budget gimmicks President Obama has been using: The numbers being floated around by President Obama and Congressional Democrats during this year’s budget battle are all spin and sleight of hand. Not that this should surprise anyone – the President has a history of using smoke and mirrors – especially […]
Our op-ed in The Daily Caller on Democrats changing their tune on CU v. FED: As President Obama and the national Democrat establishment gear up for their billion-dollar-plus 2012 election campaign, insiders connected to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid are hatching plans to protect the tenuous Senate Democrat majority. These Reid insiders are forming a […]
It has been two years of failure since President Obama signed his $800 billion so-called stimulus bill, promising that the unemployment rate would not go above 8 percent.
