The blame duck blames the fat cats
President Obama says “”I did not run for office to be helping out a bunch of fat cat bankers on Wall Street.” No, of course not. He ran for office to be helping out his own fat cat friends and … Continue reading →

Obama faces the enemy at West Point: a day late and a dollar short
In Obama’s long-awaited “hello I must be going” speech on Afghanistan, delivered at West Point, there were no real surprises. We knew he would take the opportunity to bash the previous administration, ignore the influence of the surge on Iraq, … Continue reading →
