What Is the Pitfall of the Obama Doctrine?
In yesterday's New York Times, International Herald Tribune columnist Roger Cohen reported: "Since taking office, President Obama has reached out to the Muslim world as a whole, to China, to Turkey and to Iran, but has devoted scant serious diplomatic energy to Europe." Cohen then went on to quote prominent Paris-based defense analyst Camille Grand: "Europe is the object of benign U.S. neglect. Obama has not established or re-established a strategic relationship with any single European country or with Europe as a whole."
What's the Truth about Obama's Tax Hike Proposal?
According to the Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll released today, only 26 percent of voters think the economy is going to be better in the next year, and 61 percent think the country is on the wrong track. Desperate to show Americans he's fighting "every single day, every single hour, every single minute" to turn the economy around, President Barack Obama unveiled yet another economic stimulus spending plan yesterday. This time the President is promising to spend $50 billion over six years on a "Race to the Top"-style transportation pork plan that will fund pet leftist projects like high-speed rail. The President promised: "this will not only create jobs immediately, it’s also going to make our economy hum over the long haul."
