THE SUMMER OF OUR DISCONTENT - Clamoring for Quasimodo?

Posted by EWRoss on Monday, August 03, 2009 8:00:00 AM

Things haven’t been going well for President Obama lately. Conservative columnists, talk-show hosts, and bloggers are having a field day chronicling the president's fall from the clouds above Mount Olympus. His poll numbers, if not his ambition, have returned to Earth as he has failed to effectively sell his healthcare plan, insinuated a cop was a racist before he had the facts, and delegated too much responsibility to fragmented Democrats in Congress. With Obama's presidency and the Democratic agenda on the line, members of Congress return home in August to meet with their constituents. They'll encounter groups of voters who aren't happy with what Democrats have been doing. It’s America’s growing discontent that’s the real news story this summer. Expect an all out effort by liberals in the media and entertainment to ridicule the voices of opposition.

WINNING IN AFGHANISTAN - Is America Willing to do What's Necessary?

Posted by EWRoss on Sunday, March 22, 2009 8:00:00 AM
For much of the past six years, people who criticized US involvement in Iraq frequently touted Afghanistan as the real central front in the “war on terrorism.” Candidate Barack Obama, an arch critic of the war in Iraq, called Afghanistan the “must win war.” Now with the war in Iraq virtually won and President Obama’s withdrawal plan announced, what to do about Afghanistan has become a pressing question for the new Obama administration. US commanders have called for more troops, and Obama has ordered the deployment of an additional 17,000. Indecision, however, is in the air. Will doubt that the war in Afghanistan is “winnable,” the world economic crisis, and war fatigue conspire to defeat a winning strategy and the will to execute it?

THE GIANT DONKEY IN THE ROOM

Posted by EWRoss on Sunday, October 26, 2008 12:00:00 AM

If John McCain loses the 2008 presidential election, and nine days from Election Day I do not believe it is a foregone conclusion that he will, McCain will not be blameless. To argue, however, that it’s all about his campaign, or the global financial crisis, or George Bush ignores the giant donkey in the room.

Short of voter fraud or other illegal activity on the part of Democrats, McCain will accept responsibility for his defeat. McCain is an honorable man, and if he loses he will blame no one but himself. That’s the American, or at least the McCain, way. Nevertheless, pro-Obama bias by the mainstream media (MSM) and the constant derision and ridicule of John McCain and Sarah Palin by Democrats, left wing-bloggers, and the entertainment industry will have taken their toll.
