Feb 15, 2010 By Michael Goodwin FOXNews.com If he reversed course on giving civilian trials to 9/11 plotters, stopped giving terrorists extra legal rights and kept Guantanamo Bay prison open, President Obama might be able to save his presidency. President Obama has lost the country. Poll after poll confirms the American public has caught [...]
Feb 16, 2010 AP With Obama’s poll numbers flat-lining, the White House is taking an approach to getting out the message about the president’s accomplishments and goals that is at once more aggressive and more streamlined. WASHINGTON — Facing criticism that President Barack Obama isn’t connecting with the American people, the administration is infusing [...]
Feb 15, 2010 By Robert Burns RIYADH, Saudi Arabia – Saudi Arabia’s foreign minister on Monday expressed doubts about the usefulness of more sanctions on Iran over its nuclear program. Prince Saud al-Faisal told a news conference in the Saudi capital that the threat posed by Iran’s nuclear ambitions demands a more immediate solution than [...]

Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar, the No. 2 behind Afghan Taliban founder Mullah Mohammad Omar and [...]
February 15, 2010 by Star Parker Historic change sometimes comes from unlikely sources. A famous example was long time anti-Communist Richard Nixon breaking the diplomatic ice with Red China.

By Jeff Jacoby (Archive) · Monday, February 15, 2010 The Audi motor company’s idea of an environmentally-correct America, to judge from the TV commercial it spent several million dollars to air during the Super Bowl, is one in which homeowners could be arrested for using incandescent light bulbs, customers choosing plastic bags at the supermarket [...]
By Paul Greenberg (Archive) · Monday, February 15, 2010 How much time, do you suppose, has Eric Holder spent as attorney general of the United States explaining that he meant no harm by all the harm he’s done?
