Obama Has No Appetite For Boldness

May 31, 2011

It has been laughable over the last couple of years to watch the wingnut landscape morph into total lunacy over the alleged socialistic leadership of our new Dark Knight President. Talk about your basic overkill. A timid government stimulus plan in 2009…..amounting to approximately $800 billion in market demand being added to the recessed market…..was [...]

83 To 15

December 14, 2010

It isn't often that obstructionistic Republican Senators act all bipartisan. This is what they normally do… In the 110th Congress of 2007-2008, with Republicans in the minority, there were a record 112 cloture votes. That was a doubling of the previous record.

I was an ardent supporter of Barack Obama over Hillary Clinton in the Democratic primaries of last year. Obama campaigned, correctly saying that he, alone, of all the candidates, could build a new coalition of voters in America by talking straight and confronting decades-old national problems. He promised a new kind of politics and he [...]

Bipartisanship? Who Needs it?

February 19, 2009

Today's Akron Beacon Journal opinion page features David Broder's piece entitled, "Bipartisanship? Gotta have it". It's a typical Broder column where he mind-chases an invisible center in America. The critics agree that the effort at bipartisanship should end. I hope Obama isn't listening. It's the worst advice he has received. ….had Obama not negotiated successfully [...]
