Except that we will; Gibbs is leaving the White House press secretary post only to become a political adviser to the president and his re-election campaign. It will still be very pleasant not to have Gibbs as Obama’s public face … Continue reading →
Here’s Krauthammer today: Obama knows he has only so many years to change the country. In his first two, he achieved much: the first stimulus, Obamacare and financial regulation. For the next two, however, the Republican House will prevent any … Continue reading →
