Democrats Beholden to Protectionist Unions

The Colombia free trade pact remains stalled in Congress while Colombia’s president Alvaro Uribe has made concession after concession to win over Democrats. He’s extradited right-wing paramilitaries to stand trial in the U.S. on drug charges and didn’t intervene when his cousin was arrested. The LA Times editorial board noticed Uribe’s efforts probably won’t help […]

Confusion Over Obama’s Uncle

Sen. Obama mixing up what Nazi camp his uncle liberated would be a less-than-one-day story if his campaign staff provided better documentation:
Okay, so we have supposedly learned that it was Obama’s Great Uncle that liberated a sub-section of Buchenwald, not an uncle at Auschwitz. But if sources are correct and unless there’s some arcane military […]

Ahmadinejad Over Petraeus?

Two Presidential candidates walking side-by-side surveying the situation in a foreign land is nothing I’ve ever heard happen in American politics. Sen. Lindsey Graham floated idea of Sens. Barack Obama and John McCain jointly visiting Iraq and meeting with Gen. David Petraeus and Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki. The only thing similar I can think […]

2008 Isn’t 2004

I think political analysts are using their rear-view mirrors to look at the 2008 Presidential race. In a post on Florida Governor Charlie Crist as a possible VP pick David Brody writes,
Let’s face it. The general election is going to be won (just like every general election) by winning the Independent vote.
That was certainly the […]

Home prices continued to fall in April but so did inventories. Based on the Case-Shiller index home prices are at the level they were in 2003. Supply and demand continue doing their thing.
High gas prices and concerns about the jobs market have pushed consumer confidence to a 16-year low. Discouraged consumers are more likely to […]

Obama’s Gaffes Starting to Distract Right

We’re unofficially in summer. It’s an excuse for Sen. Obama to go on vacation. Two embarrassing mistakes in two days tells me he’s tired. First, it was Obama seeing dead people. Now, it’s his family’s myth of an uncle liberating Auschwitz.
It’s good for a laugh for a day or two, but trying to turn Obama […]

Recount Was No Surprise

I watched HBO’s Recount tonight. It’s a dramatized version of what happened in the 2000 Florida recount. It was entertaining (Kevin Spacey and Dennis Leary are rarely bad) but expected. Democrats were pictured as the more civil, more restrained, if naive ones while Republicans were the win-at-all-costs types. Democrats: good; Republicans: evil. Par for the […]

Too Much Sunshine? Or Was that Sunrise?

Sunrise, Sunshine. Sen. Obama’s getting a little Dan Quayle-ish:
At first, it seemed as if Barack Obama might just be speaking figuratively, as is his wont sometimes. “How’s it going, Sunshine? Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you everybody. It’s good to be in Sunshine!” Obama declared on taking the stage this afternoon for a […]
