Obama finds A– to Kick
Earlier this month, in an interview with Matt Lauer, Barack Obama, lowered the standard for the nation’s chief of state when he used a vulgarity in an interview for the “Today Show.” Consumed with frustration over his inability to turn back the tide on the Gulf Coast, Barack Almighty delivered the now infamous line, “I want to know whose a - - to kick.” On Tuesday, he found one. No! He found two – the American people and the American economy.

Voting in a Perfect World
Primary elections are far more important than general elections, but most citizens don’t really wake up politically until a week before it’s time to go to the polls in November. Then, they look at their choice and complain that there are no good candidates. They choose between what they consider to be the lessor evil, or worse still, simply check the box beside “incumbent,” whoever he or she is, and complain about how things never change.

Obama’s kinder, gentler “Death Panels”
Truth is in short supply in Washington.
That is why recent statements made by Donald Berwick, President Obama’s Nominee to head the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, are both refreshing and chilling.

McCain running Scared
He won the Republican nomination for President. He hasn’t had a primary challenger for his Senate seat in two decades. He’s 10 to 12 points ahead in most polls. He’s a fat-cat senator sitting on a pile of dough (his own and that of those who benefit from his votes). So, why is John McCain running scarred?
The defeats of five-term Senator Arlen Specter in Pennsylvania, three-term Senator Robert Bennett in Utah, and fourteen-term Rep. Alan Mollohan in their party’s primaries.
