Is Obama trying to Lead or to Rule?

So, to no one’s surprise, it looks like the US Government is going into the car business, something our founders certainly never intended. I keep watching Obama and wondering if he is trying to lead America to further greatness, or to simply bring her to heel? There is an absolute disconnect between what Obama says, [...]

Updates & Random stuff

NRO’s Kathryn Jean Lopez twitters: Nancy Pelosi is not on the front page of the New York Times today. That’s shocking even for the Times. Yes…that is pretty surprising, given what her very role as Speaker of the House seems in jeopardy; she may yet be felled by ironic twist of her own knife. With [...]

Kind of like the extraordinary renditions begun under Bill Clinton, right? We’re remaking America. Glenn Reynolds answers another easy question.

Why "the recession is over."

Yesterday, President Obama and Joe Biden went out and grabbed a burger in a bit of “we’re just normal guys” political theater, a replay of what we saw back in 2004, when John Kerry and John Edwards went to Wendy’s.
