On Obama and seniors: We need to unify ...

16 hours ago ago from OPINION

Re: "Obama ignoring seniors," by Sharon Wilson, Friday Letters. President Barack Obama has done a wonderful job. He has done about all that could have possibly been expected of him. He did not starve any seniors. He has not given away everything in any attempt to socialize America. Where does this stuff come from? We suffered for eight years and still most of us were behind Bush after 9/11 in Afghanistan. Remember all the talk about ...

A good snapshot of the last, and hopefully, beginning of the end of the only Obama term in office as POTUS. The damages done by Obama and the demosocialistacrats will take years to repair. It can and must be done. Terrorism both domestic and foreign have increased in the last year, thanks to the Obama policy of apology and appeasement. The fruit from this policy is rotten from the inside out, top to bottom. Has time already ...

Tom H. Hastings: Obama's Nobel Speech? C-minus.

23 hours ago ago from Huffington Post

If, a week ago, one of my Intro to Peace Studies students had handed in the very speech given by President Obama in Norway, I would have given that student a C-. What? He is charismatic, eloquent, measured, brilliant -- how can a peace studies professor be so cynical, so arrogant, so hyperbolic? Because. Because he cited Gandhi as an influence then attempted to repudiate Gandhi. He cited Dr. King as not merely an influence but as sine ...

Michael Brenner: Obama at Oslo

17 minutes ago ago from Huffington Post

Trying to discern in Obama's address at Oslo the contours of a coherent foreign policy is likely to prove futile. For the elucidation of a strategic design was not the purpose. The aim was political -- in two senses. The first, primary consideration was to create favorable impressions among the American public -- especially the political class -- of Obama's stewardship and the country's exalted standing in the world. The secondary objective, ...

Jonathan Leigh Solomon: Lyndon Johnson's Thoughts on Obama's Nobel Peace Prize

22 hours ago ago from Huffington Post

One of the many already stateable tragedies of President Obama and Afghanistan is that while Lyndon Johnson (the man Obama seems bent on morphing into -- inspirational leaders on the home front, blind about a foreign war) dove into Vietnam driven by two fundamental elements that made his choice almost expected, even forgivable, the same two fundamental elements, to the extent they exist, exist in reverse with Obama. First: Johnson saw his ...
