In 2008, Americans were looking to improve Washington D.C. and make the federal government more effective in solving the problems that faced the nation both domestically and abroad.  They knew that they wanted to get away from the depressing years of the Bush presidency, which brought on 9/11, enduring wars, and a sagging economy.  Whether former President Bush is responsible for any of those circumstances is up for debate, but clearly the American people were looking to go in a new direction. ... Read More→

During his oval office address last night, President Obama brought up two central themes that he has harped on over the past two months: BP will pay for what it has done and that offshore drilling has to cease production permanently.  However, the American people are TIRED of hearing this everlasting refrain.  They want to know HOW YOU plan to plug the hole Mr. President and clean up the oil spill in the Gulf Coast.  They don’t care WHO is responsible for the rig exploding and or for the... Read More→

Barack Obama has been President of the United States for 16 months.  The American people have learned a lot about President Obama and what he wants to do for America.  President Obama has learned nothing about the American people.  This is why on Thursday, April 15…tax day…thousands upon thousands of Americans took time out of their busy lives to send a sour note to the current administration in the White House.  These Americans were fed up with the elitism and arrogance being displayed... Read More→

On January 20, 2010, Obama will officially be President of the United States for one year.  And what a year it has been for the “messiah.”  He has done something that most political pundits would never have dreamed was possible if you told them on January 20, 2009.  On that day, Obama was making his inauguration speech in front of hundreds of thousands of cheering supporters chanting in union “Yes, We Can.”  To all the members of the “political class,” it looked... Read More→

President Obama took 3 long months to formulate a strategy in Afghanistan that pleases no one in this country.  For the first time in his presidency and similiar to President Lyndon Johnson’s handling of the Vietnam War, a president has found a way to alienate both the hard right and far left in this country.  It is truly remarkable.  By sending 30,000 additional troops to Afghanistan, he has gone with a middle road that doesn’t please his base or his opposition.  No matter what the... Read More→

Over the past few weeks, I keep asking myself the same question over and over again.  Is this really America?  I ask the question, but end up coming up with mixed answers.  I feel like the America I know and love  still exists, but it is not being represented in Washington D.C.  The White House and Congress are promoting ideas and implementing programs that scare the daylights out of any freedom loving American. Since being inaugurated in January, President Obama has kept his promise to voters... Read More→

On the night before election day, there is good feeling rising among conservatives who feel like it will be a good night for candidates.  After losing the presidency in a blowout and watching Democrats reach 60 seats in the Senate in last year’s election, Republicans are itching for payback tomorrow.  They have had to deal with an administration that has increased the national debt, passed a nearly $900 trillion stimulus, and is on the verge of passing a health care entitlement that will... Read More→

President Barack Obama was elected in November under the pretense that he was a moderate Democrat that would unite red states & blue states together.  He was going to be the post-partisan president who would unite Democrats & Republicans together and end the vicious partisanship of the Bush presidency.  Under the Bush administration, the culture war was front and center in American politics creating two entrenched camps of partisans that made Washington ineffective and despised by... Read More→
