February 26, 2010 by Pat Buchanan We inherited the worst situation since the Great Depression. That is the reflexive response of President Obama to the troubles from which he has been unable to extract his country. Even before the inauguration, he says, there were projections of a $1.2 trillion deficit for 2009. That deficit [...]
February 26, 2010 by Jillian Bandes Obama stacked the deck during the health care summit, giving Democrats twice the speaking time as the GOP. But how well did Republicans punch back? Depends who you talk to. “I think we need to start out by acknowledging Republicans brought their ‘A Team.’ They had doctors knowledgeable [...]

It’s not a bill so much as it is an 11-page “talking points” memo, a description of elements the Obama administration would like to see in a final bill. It’s so vague that the Congressional [...]

By Jonah Goldberg (Archive) · Friday, February 26, 2010 The longest week I ever spent was the six hours I spent watching Thursday’s health-care summit. The better angel of my nature says that this confab is a wonderful spectacle of democracy. Serious men and women airing serious disagreements in a (relatively) respectful and substantive manner.

By Mark Alexander · Thursday, February 25, 2010 “The Constitution, which at any time exists ’till changed by an explicit and authentic act of the whole People, is sacredly obligatory upon all.” –George Washington The Resurrection of First Principles It took the election of a “community organizer” and ideological Socialist “professor” Barack Hussein Obama to [...]
