Indications are that President Obama is sliding downward in the public’s estimation. For the first time, for example, all the polls show his approval rating falling below 50% (here’s the NY Times’s spin on that). Just as significantly, all but … Continue reading →
The buzz is that President Obama will finally announce his Afghanistan decision on December 1, and that the magic number of troops sent will be 34,000. If so (and I must emphasize that this information is based on anonymous leaks, … Continue reading →
Byron York continues on the Walpin case, even if hardly anyone else is paying attention (something the Obama administration is banking on). York writes that, just a few hours after Senator Charles Grassley and Representative Darrell Issa had presented a … Continue reading →
Elizabeth Drew reports that many inside-the-Beltway Obama supporters are angry that Greg Craig was tossed under the bus by this administration, with Obama’s tacit approval and acquiescence while others did the dirty work. It’s a curiously naive article. The sentence … Continue reading →
