On issue after issue, Obama has shown a strong reluctance to challenge established thinking and to confront powerful interests. Retreat from positions boldly declared has become the hallmark of his administration.

Sarah Palin's choice to "affect positive change from outside government" is simply code for "I'm running for president."

The government will not use any statements made by the suspect in secret prisons, nor will the evidence "be very different" from that used when his alleged co-conspirators were tried by the federal court in 2001.
What is the point of getting to 60 senators in the Democratic caucus if you can't keep the caucus together on all of the votes? Well, Bernie Sanders has the answer.
Our military procurement system is a mess. Our automobile industry is a mess. We might have helped both if we had gotten them to agree to build the next generation of military vehicles together.
Alleged dickishness notwithstanding, the argument between Pitney and Milbank was not nearly as trivial as it might initially appear.
Obama's self-imposed rule against lobbyists in his administration, and the method whereby he is now implementing his progressive agenda, hews toward a rather perverse irony, if not hypocrisy.
This is a fight between some neocons who still want to promote Palin and their discredited geopolitical agenda against some Republican would-be modernizers.
WND's desperate campaign to demand that Barack Obama prove he's a "natural born citizen" -- even though he already has -- is one long trail of falsehoods presented as facts.
Of the many Guantanamo tragedies, perhaps none has been greater than our handling of the Uighurs, a group of Chinese Muslim detainees.
Because a flier is not enough....
This revolution, if that's what it is, can only come from the Iranian people. The US must remain on the sidelines; a spectator to what could be a game changer in the Middle East and beyond.
As Freud said, "the mind is an arena for the struggle of antagonistic impulses." And so a la Freud, here are my competing thoughts on the necessity of increased government regulation.

Bush recap:
Two costly and mismanaged wars, housing bubble burst, investment bubble burst, trillions of dollars of personal wealth gone, health care costs sky rocket, bankruptcies rise, foreclosures up, property values down, TARP for banks, millions for auto companies, infrastructure crumbling and causing injury and deaths, millions and millions for failed education policies, Katrina, and more corruption within the administration since Nixon.
But it's all President Obama's fault.
If we only listened to Mr. Krugman from the very beginning....
Yes.
Well, Joe stayed on message beautifully about Palin and Iran.

Nobody knew exactly how bad Bush messed up the economy.
But we did know it was freaking bad,really bad, bad bad bad.
A good example of what caused and how we pulled out of the last depression (because that's what we're in, despite what the MSM reports) ***http://www.huppi.com/kangaroo/Timeline.htm***
Until Washington realizes the severity of the economy, they'll be ill-prepared to fix it. Notice all the "intensive legislative activity" that took place during the last depression, particularly in the early 1930s. Nowadays, Congress just sits on it's hands, follows the advice of lobbyists over the people and debates on whether or not to have a debate. Bank bailouts pass in seconds, but healthcare stagnates for months.
IMHO, the "haves" are blind to the plight of the "have nots" and anyone can see that the latter are the primary driving force behind our economy.
Our leaders need to seriously get into gear to recover jobs and enact programs that help the common man or else the last depression will seem like a cake walk.
On the plus side, at least VP Biden is admitting their misjudgment, so now they are in a better position to fix it...
