You (Could Have) Read It Here First
Long-time readers (hi Sweetie!) know how much I admire Charles Krauthammer’s writing. I’ve said that when I read his columns, I often wish I had written them first. Well, now that fantasy has partly come true. Krauthammer’s column today covers some of the same ground as my post Wednesday on Obama’s mixed signals to the […]

Honeymoon-Over Watch: Campbell Brown Cites Obama "Hypocrisy"
As I’ve said before, I expect now that Obama is safely ensconced at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, the cutthroat competitiveness of the news media is going to drive more and more reporters to go after the only President we have.

Mixed Signals in Obama’s Approach to Radical Islam
“Respect and partnership” 30 years ago I didn’t pay close attention to Obama’s first media interview as President yesterday, with with Al-Arabiya.

"A Sickness in the Soul of Middle-Eastern Islam"
I don’t agree with every syllable of Ralph Peters’s column in today’s New York Post, but this part works: Israel hasn’t killed a single civilian in the Gaza Strip.

Today’s edition of Obama Silver Lining Watch (hereafter OSLW) starts with a trip down memory lane.
