Reports abound that the women’s vote is leaving Obama | Read More »

All the way from Peru, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has been ‘presidentesque” in her statement that she takes responsibility. Per CNN’s account: “I take responsibility,” Clinton said during a visit to Peru. “I’m in charge of the State Department’s 60,000-plus people all over the world, 275 posts. The president and the vice president wouldn’t be knowledgeable about specific decisions that are made by security | Read More »
The Twitterverse, blogosphere, and pundits have been in overdrive since last Thursday night’s VP debate. For me, the tweet of David Burge @iowahawkblog summed it up, both before the debate and after: Drinking game: every time you realize Joe Biden is one heartbeat away from the presidency, drink. — David Burge (@iowahawkblog) October 11, 2012 Foreign policy, Mr. Biden’s raison d’être for the Obama administration | Read More »

I would have loved to have been a bug in the President’s limo on the ride back to the hotel. It might have gone something like this. (Erick and I think alike.. note the photo. Iconic.) Michelle, sits across the seat from the President, silent, head turned away, glaring out the side window. Obama, across the seat from her is lost in thought, dazed at | Read More »
