Yesterday, Charles Krauthammer wrote a scathing piece reflecting on Obama’s recent channeling of Theodore Roosevelt. The President is in full campaign mode and kicked it off with a speech in Osawatomie, Kansas. Krauthammer opens with this: In the first month of his presidency, Barack Obama averred that if in three years he hadn’t alleviated the […]
The ban on earmarks is holding up quite well. Of course, now you don’t need earmarks, because now they are calling them “special provisions“. In the same fashion, Newt was NOT a lobbyist.
