There is nothing unusual about mere mortals revealing their fatal flaws. We’ve been doing it since the Greeks wrote plays about human tragedy. In my lifetime, Richard Nixon had his Watergate. He used his office to uncover secrets he might have used to get re-elected had he not been caught red-handed. As it is, he left office a defeated man. Bill Clinton had his fling | Read More »
Among the more interesting excuses for the President’s deplorable performance at the Denver debate this week was that made by venerated journalist Bob Woodward, of Watergate fame. Woodward, who has worked extensively with Barack Obama in the writing of the new book, The Price of Politics, believes the usually unflappable Obama must have been distracted by something serious in his personal of presidential life | Read More »
Largely drowned out by this week’s Presidential debate in Denver and the President’s shockingly poor performance – one talking head I saw yesterday suggested the President had taken Ambien and was, therefore, sluggish. I might suggest, given his pictorial history, it was more likely a ‘joint’ issue – is the story around our first look at an un-edited Obama video speech from 2007. In the | Read More »
If arrogance were a capital crime, Barack Obama would be on death row. I’m still reeling from the news that the Leader of the Free World rarely attends his own daily intelligence and national security briefings. He gets the briefings on his I-Pad and calls it good. (How arrogant is it to refuse to avail oneself of the intelligence resources available to the man in | Read More »
Since yesterday I’ve been embroiled in a lively debate about whether or not it’s a violation of the tax code for the Catholic Church to remind its members that to vote for a candidate who supports abortion, euthanasia, embryonic stem cell research, cloning and/or same-sex marriage – each a non-negotiable moral principle of the Church - is a sin. Just such a publication has been | Read More »
Those of us who are political junkies and/or those of us who feel that the upcoming election may well be the most important one in American history have been watching the sundry polls which come out every fifteen minutes or so and which usually show the incumbent with a comfortable lead with more than a little angst. None of us wants to see Mitt Romney | Read More »
When I was a little girl, I usually spent half my time at Saturday movie matinees with my hands covering my eyes. To this day, I’m apt to cover my eyes when there is a graphic scene in a movie, or even when the background music of the program I’m watching begins to sound sinister. I have hated violence and blood all of my life. | Read More »
In my morning reading, I learned that – at long last – there has been done a truly informative televised interview with the President of the United States. Perhaps not surprisingly, it wasn’t done by the main stream media. The interview was a forum at the University of Miami televised by Univision in which Obama was given no quarter. Interviewers pressed the President on | Read More »
I’m looking for help here this morning. I understand that wise and wonderful election wizards like Karl Rove begin the process of predicting election wins by making the (goofy, IMHO) assumption that the incumbent will win all the same states he/she did in the last race. I know they have to start somewhere, but is this a reasonable assumption in this particular race? | Read More »
Today, I learn that in Michigan there are over 4,000 non US citizens registered to vote in that state. The Secretary of State there, Ruth Johnson, sees this as evidence which makes voter identification in Michigan critical in order to protect the integrity of this and future elections. Naturally, the very question of voter ID makes United States Attorney Eric Holder’s eyes bulge. Some say, | Read More »
