Our President continues to dig, and the hole got deeper today when he pretended to stop digging. Neo-neocon fisks the “apology”: But I would like to add just a little tidbit concerning the following sentence of Obama’s: And I could have calibrated those words differently… Note the word “could.” That’s a very subtle qualifier, a [...]

ObamaCare (aka DMV Health Care) should scare seniors, or those of us with loved ones who need innovative health care for a quality of life that is good for society. Remember when we thought Soylent Green was fiction? I’m reminded of my Dad’s experience, which will resonate with many of your readers I suspect. My [...]

Wow, who’d of thunk that Obama would show the world his immaturity and questionable intellect so soon in his Presidency? OK, I did, but not in such a fantastic and, well, embarrassing fashion.
