Pres BO's trip to China was a disappointment, specially if you believe that the US should say something about human rights. Also, didn't candidate BO say this in 2008 : "Way back in March 2008, widespread protests erupted across the Tibetan plateau and were brutally crushed by a massive Chinese security response. On March 28, then-Senator and presidential candidate Barack Obama, who had previously...
The polls have not been kind to President Obama this week, with his job approval rating slipping below 50% in the Gallup Poll for the first time. The Quinnipiac and Hawkeye polls earlier this week also pegged his approval below 50%. Gallup says the slip is important, but usual, and it’s likely the President will recover. Of the post-World War II presidents, Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton...
When Rep. Brady has finished firing Tim Geithner perhaps he'll turn his attention to our Commander-in-Chief, whose job approval ratings have slipped below 50% for the first time since he took office. Conservatives must be salivating over this new Gallup poll… Since September, Obama's approval rating had been holding in the low 50s and, although it has [...]

Has a president ever been less successful on a trip overseas than President Obama has on his eight-day excursion to Asia? I've been covering presidents since Gerald Ford and I can't think of one. Weekly Standard 11/19/09 Willie Loman was not a President but he is playing one now! My Fellow Americans*, I realized what a ridiculous lie my whole life has been. A small man can be just as exhausted as a...
TRY TO IMAGINE By Dr. Peter Moore Special to Virtueonline November 19, 2009 It's 10:30 AM. Early morning classes are over. There's a break in the day. Students at this relatively small Midwestern college can bask in the unusual mid November sunshine, hit one of the coffee shops in the adjacent village, or - they can go to voluntary chapel and hear a woman speaker from a seminary somewhere in Minnesota....
A little over a year ago I wrote this post , on who at the time I thought were the top five contenders on the Republican side to take on Barack Obama in 2012 . Needless to say, quite a bit has happened in the subsequent year ( Mark Sanford , anyone?) and an update is long overdue: For starters, what had been 5 has grown to 7--seemingly solid contenders a year ago like Florida governor Charlie Crist...

We know that Obama is a genius, that Clinton was a Rhodes Scholar, that Carter was a first-rate engineer in the Navy.
