That is exactly the stance President Barack Obama is taking. I wonder how many Americans would vote for increasing America’s debt load again rather than cutting spending. I doubt that there has ever been a more tone-deaf president in the Oval Office. This guy simply does not care what you think or apparently what Congress […]

Can Putin Deliver?
We do not have the answer yet. But given what we’ve seen to date, the odds-on bet is for the American Congress to work in a constructive fashion to make the Putin plan reality. There is considerable static on the Syrian diplomacy line. The likes of John McCain, Bill Kristol, and Daniel Pipes want war […]
