A Crisis Wasted

"It's the economy, stupid." ~ Bill Clinton campaign slogan " You never want a serious crisis to go to waste . And what I mean by that is an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before, " Rahm Emanuel said in a 2008 interview To me, the Obama administration has taken this statement to heart in a highly partisan way, from the $787 billion so-called stimulus package to the disregard of bondholders in the bankruptcy of GM and Chrysler. It continues with the health care initiative

Yer ass

Mr. Aravosis : Liberal groups, such as MoveOn and SEIU, and liberal bloggers (such as Jane Hamsher and our own Joe Sudbay) have been pressuring Democratic Senator Mary Landrieu to support the public option in health care reform (i.e., some kind of public health insurance plan). Landrieu has been adamantly opposed to anything resembling a public option. So groups like MoveOn have been running ads against her. Well, our president will have none of that, He want us all to stop trying to get Land

An Independence Day Message from the President

This weekend, our family will join millions of others in celebrating America. We will enjoy the glow of fireworks, the taste of barbeque, and the company of good friends. As we all celebrate this weekend, let's also remember the remarkable story that led to this day.

Two hundred and thirty-three years ago, our nation was born when a courageous group of patriots pledged their lives, fortunes, and sacred honor to the proposition that all of us were created equal.

Our country began as a unique experiment in liberty -- a bold, evolving quest to achieve a more perfect union. And in every generation, another courageous group of patriots has taken us one step closer to fully realizing the dream our founders enshrined on that great day.

Today, all Americans have a hard-fought birthright to a freedom which enables each of us, no matter our views or background, to help set our nation's course. America's greatness has always depended on her citizens embracing that freedom -- and fulfilling the duty that comes with it.

As free people, we must each take the challenges and opportunities that face this nation as our own. As long as some Americans still must struggle, none of us can be fully content. And as America comes ever closer to achieving the perfect Union our founders dreamed, that triumph -- that pride -- belongs to all of us.

So today is a day to reflect on our independence, and the sacrifice of our troops standing in harm's way to preserve and protect it. It is a day to celebrate all that America is. And today is a time to aspire toward all we can still become.

With very best wishes,

President Barack Obama

Obama set for week-long foreign jaunt

President Barack Obama is ready to leave for a trip to Russia, among other countries, where he is expected to talk with Russian leaders, Dmitry Medvedev and Vladimir Putin, about arms control, climate change and other issues.

Prior to taking office, Russia and the U.S. appeared on a path to a new cold war with tensions heating up over a planned U.S. "defense shield" in Eastern Europe, and a Russian military intervention in Georgia. However, things appear to have cooled off with the advent of the Obama administration.

The U.S. president will also take part in a G-8 summit in L'Aquila, Italy, and will meet separately with Pope Benedict XVI. He will also visit Ghana in his first trip to sub-Saharan Africa since coming to office.
