Barack Hussein Obama: Weak on National Security

Say what you will about George W. Bush, but he took his job seriously.  President George W. Bush understood that his most solemn duty as president was the defense of America–in other words, the safety and security of its citizens.  Barack Obama does not understand this.  In fact, he seems more concerned with pushing a left-wing agenda–like the cap and [...]

Obama’s Improved Salute, Courtesy of the USMC

Great post at Blackfive from Mr. Wolf on President Obama’s military salute.  It’s improved by leaps and bounds.

Bankrupt the Coal Industry?

What’s with Sen. Barack Obama and San Francisco? It seems like the only time we get Sen. Obama’s actual positions on issues is when he’s speaking in the City by the Bay.

Why Credibility Matters

Joe Biden’s recent remarks at a Seattle fundraiser that, if elected, Barack Obama will be “tested” by an international crisis within his first six months in office underscore the importance of both experience and credibility when selecting a commander-in-chief.  As Bill and Hillary Clinton both noted during the Democratic primary, now is not the time [...]
