Clinton’s Obama Blunder

Not Enough ‘Audacity of Hope’ to Go Around

Barack Obama is a do-gooder who has promised to do away with polarization and political bickering, but what if the Democrats need a winner more than a healer?

It Turns Out Ahmadinejad Was the Truthful One

Bush is such a liar. Or is he just out to lunch on the most important issue that he faces?

The Dubious Mr. Dobbs

The CNN personality, who continues to beat the drum against “illegal aliens,” claims to be a journalist.  If he really is one, he should respect facts and correct errors.  Let’s all hold our breath until that happens.

The YouSnooze Debate

The CNN/YouTube debate was a depressing spectacle. There was little inspiration for the future, no sense that Republicans are grappling with why their party has become so unpopular, and few departures from rigid adherence to the party line on taxes, guns, gay rights and other questions.
