The Republican “debate”

The New Neo Posted on August 6, 2015 by neoAugust 6, 2015

Well, that was different. My impressions: John Kasich: A snooze. I have no idea why he is one of the top 10. Chris Christie: Didn’t enhance his standing, which is already low. He just doesn’t wear well. Ben Carson: I … Continue reading →

In the event of an anti-Iran Deal veto override, Obama could simply ignore Congress

The New Neo Posted on August 1, 2015 by neoAugust 1, 2015

And I have little doubt that that’s exactly what he would do if he thought it would work. Here are several possible scenarios: First, [Obama] may simply announced that every bank that does business with Iran in accordance with the … Continue reading →

Obstructionism and how it works (or doesn’t work)

The New Neo Posted on July 25, 2015 by neoJuly 25, 2015
