New Jersey's rate, meanwhile, rose to a 33-year high of 10.1 percent while New York's reached a 26-year high of 9 percent. Analysts said the ...

Can Obama Blunt the Anger? Michael Gerson Friday, January 22, 2010 WASHINGTON -- If Tuesday had been a national election, Scott Brown's victory merely would have been the high-water mark of a Republican deluge. A five-point win in Massachusetts would have translated into blowout Republican victories throughout the country. Every Democrat with political skills short of Franklin D. Roosevelt's would have suddenly seemed a "weak candidate." President Obama now is left with three options as he stumbles toward the State of the Union: He can try to ignore the anger, embrace the anger or blunt the anger. Ignoring the anger is the advice of the health reform fundamentalists: ...

The Real State of the Union, 2010 By Randall Hoven It is State of the Union time again. Like every president before him, Barack Obama will declare that the state of our union is fundamentally sound, but it needs some tuning up. (In his case, a tune-up costs about $2 trillion and nine czars.) But in my opinion, the state of our union is, to use the word of the day, "unsustainable." That means "dying" in everyday language. Almost a year ago, I wrote of the "real" state of our union. We have less than 10 years to get our mess straightened out. In that time we need to do something drastic with health care, meaning getting its costs under control. We also need ...

The Incredible Deflation of Barack Obama By Mortimer B. Zuckerman Posted January 21, 2010 The air is seeping out of the Obama balloon. He has fallen to below 50 percent in the poll approval ratings, a decline punctuated by his party's shocking loss in the Massachusetts special election. Why? Barack Obama was undoubtedly sincere in what he promised, even if his promises were within the normal range of political exaggeration. The first trouble is that his gift for inspiration aroused expectations, stoked to unprecedented heights by his own staff, that he would solve the climate crisis on Monday, the jobs crisis on Tuesday, the financial crisis on Wednesday, the education crisis on ...

While political analysts from coast to coast credited Massachusetts voters with effectively repudiating Obamacare (and ...

January 18, 2010 House Democrats don't like Plan B House Democrats privately worry that the rank-and-file would reject a doomsday strategy that requires them to approve the Senate health care bill if Republican Scott Brown wins in Massachusetts on Tuesday. "Progressives and conservatives in the caucus won't go for it," one aide predicted on Monday. But they may not have another choice if the party loses its critical 60th vote in the Senate. If Brown beats Democrat Martha Coakley in the special election to fill the seat recently occupied by the late-Ted Kennedy, one alternative has the House passing the bill the Senate approved just before Christmas last year, with a ...

And between those winners chosen by the federal government and independent outsiders who just want to be left alone to earn what they deserve. And so it was a bit ...

The Content of Obama's Character By Christopher Chantrill On the holiday celebrating Martin Luther King's birthday we celebrate also the first year of America's first black president, Barack Obama. It's telling that 47 years ago, when Reverend King made his great speech on the Washington Mall, he did not say that he had a dream that one day, an African American would become president. King's vision on August 28, 1963 was less ambitious: I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. Even so, Barack Obama was elected president based on the color of his ...

Six Yemeni and four Afghan detainees were sent over the weekend to their home countries while two Somalis were transferred to regional authorities in Somaliland, an self-governing region within Somalia, the department said. The transfers are the latest from the controversial prison President Barack Obama has pledged to close next month, but that deadline will likely be missed because of diplomatic and political hurdles. With the latest moves, there are now 198 prisoners left ...
