Barack Obama

The Washington Times reported about Obama's last week meeting with the family members of victims of terrorism. There he made clear factual errors about the constitution and the Classified Information Procedures Act (CIPA). It revealed that Obama's decision to close down Guantanamo was a political promise to his anti-war voters and not something that was decided on facts and clear understanding of the law.

Recently, Barack Obama has been trying to solve the economic crisis through his stimulus package. Now that the stimulus has passed Obama has to make sure the money is actually used to stop the hiring freeze and free up credit. This is a difficult task, but more importantly, confidence needs to be restored in the market. Instead Obama has been spreading more pessimism.

John McCain launched a petition and sent it to the mail box of almost every Republican and John McCain supporter in the country. John McCain takes a final stand for fiscal conservatism and encourages the government to be responsible--to protect the consumers and keep competition balanced.

People get caught up in ideology and method names rather than analyzing methods, creating hybrids, and finding solutions to the economic problems. One must visualize the economy and understand what the current problems are and what variables need fixing and how to motivate the market and consumers to fix the economy themselves. That is government's job and Obama needs to realize that government is there to motivate people to solve the problems not to solve problems.

Throughout the campaigns and after his victory, President Obama has said he wants to strengthen diplomatic ties with Iran and even talk with their leaders face to face without preconditions. Iran's government spokesman said Obama's offer to talk with Iran shows that the US policy of "domination" has failed.

The non-partisan scholar group Cato Institute has criticized Obama's latest 2009 stimulus plan. The group has been known to criticize President Bush's policies, President Obama's policies, and John McCain's policies.

The following document published by the Cato Institute expresses deep disagreement of Obama's declaration that more government is needed to solve today's problems. "In fact, many economists disagree," says the Cato Institute.

The document is signed by hundreds of economists and even Nobel laureates.

Poligazette was paying very close attention to Barack Obama's interview with Al Arabiya, an Arab news channel.

When Al Arabiya said to Obama that America "was the only Western Power that was not colonial." Obama simply said "Right." You would think a patriot like Obama would have said "Excuse me, but the United States still isn't a colonial power." If such a statement had occurred I would be here applauding Obama.

The Obama administration made a very smooth transition with constant rhetoric of how he will improve the country once he takes office. Now that his first actions have been seen in office and the Inaugural celebrations and respect is over, his approval ratings sank 15% from 83% to 68%. What happened?

President Obama needs to take a stand--he needs to realize that Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal did not stop the Great Depression. The Great Depression ended because of World War II spending and investment. What FDR did correctly was fix the banking system and make it safer for consumers to store their money and not have to worry about getting the money back.

Politico questions what we really know about Barack Obama and lists some questions that Obama has yet to explain. Republicans have been asking these questions forever; was it not important enough because the left desperately needed a Democratic president, no matter who he really is?
