Yes, I am a bit worried about a few of Barack's personnel decisions, primarily keeping Gates on as SecDef. But, as usual, Obama's instincts are dead on. Keeping Gates sends a (literally) strong message of continuity and uninterrupted preparedness to those who would consider testing the new administration...

Barrack Obama is using the “Kitchen Sink” appeal on taxes allowing him to pose as a middle class tax cutter. Posing is something Obama does well; after all he has posed as a US Senator while campaigning for President for most of his term. Kitchen Sink means that he is promising tax cuts for everything...

McCain was not my candidate. Not originally. His close ties to, and having worked with very liberal democrats had me worried. Once it was clear that he was going to be the Republican nominee, he was the best of what was left. Let's face it, the Democrats were choosing a nominee that didn't believe...

The language of intolerance is not without consequences. Unfortunately, the intolerant are too weak minded to understand the consequences of their own words. So-called "conservatives", taking their cue from the "You're with us, or with the terrorists" jargon of their President...

Thought you might find this interesting. Is this the "change" that everyone is so eager to vote for? Proposed changes in taxes after the 2008 general election: Capital Gains Tax: McCain = Stay at 15%, no change Obama = Increase to 28% Clinton = Increase to 24% If you sell your home you will...

Sometimes I get the impression that all three of the major party candidates want somebody else to win the election. This weeks biggest loser is Barack Obama. In one short statement, while speaking in San Francisco, B.O. managed to alienate all of small town America . The more often he speaks without...

If you watched American Idol Thursday night, you saw all three Presidential candidates in recorded messages asking for people to support the Idol Gives Back charity. (I swear I was only flipping through and don't usually watch Idol. OK, so maybe occasionally, but never more than once or twice per...
