My friend and colleague Dr. Michael Kram suggested to me that I join the growing list of bloggers.

mea culpa / Foggy Bottom
The President is once again on his Mea Culpa tour. Now it is our role in global warming,that faux-science that seeks to punish the accomplishments of American technology and industry.In his race to rid the world of all ills,he has undertaken to do everything at once,regardless of the economy or the fate of our defecit.If India and China are not on board,then this whole cap and tax is just a charade.
It would appear, that the left wing is meeting some resistance from those colleagues that come from marginal districts or states.The latter will have to defend the taxes on energy, the loss of their relationships with their private doctors and its eventual rationing of care,especially for seniors. The legislative battle is underway, and the longer these issues take to resolve,the more pressure will be brought to bear to kill all of these socialist anti-capitalist one-world ideas(as we get closer to election season)'.
The granting of permission for 1350 Iraqi-Palestinians to come to the US makes no sense.They were not given citizenship by their fellow-arabs,and they were supporters of Saddam Hussein.What overiding need will be served to bring these people to our shores?

OBAMA-CHAVEZ? / Rev Al-a survivor
As we drove down to Florida, we had an an opportunity to listen to much talk radio. Most of it very repititous and very conservative.
There was one lady however who set me thinking.She raised the question as to whether our Pres. is supporting the ousted Pres. of Honduras, who is usurping the rule of law, for the following reason.Like Chavez, the Honduran Pres. would like to be Pres. for Life.Is this a hidden Obama goal?
You have to love the Rev. Al. From the ashes of Tawana Brawley with the suits against him,he is all over.The WH, City Hall, cable TV and now as confidant of our dear departed Michael.
He is a survivor, and makes the Rev. Jackson look like an amateur.
America is safe in his hands!
Obama/Powell

Here are a couple of quick thoughts:
The Obama team is running out of time with respect to people's patience as it relates to the economy. While people are not yet blaming the administration for the lack of a recovery, it won't be too long until such finger pointing will begin. Much was made of the stimulus package that the Democrats rammed through Congress a few monthes ago, yet it is apparent that the package has had no (or little) positive effect on the economy. That vote, along with the recent vote on a Carbon tax, should be enough to start making Democrats in swing districts/states nervous. Take a look at Obama's approval rating in Ohio which was released today and you will note an approval rating of 49%. His national numbers have been sagging over the last month as well. It is time for Obama to deliver on the economy.

Colin Powell is a great American, was a terrible Secretary of State, and was an even worse Republican. It is was fairly obvious last year that Powell's allegiances switched to the Democratic Party after he publicly endorsed Obama. Obama's platform was (and continues to be) made up of extremist, leftist positions (including socialized medicine, a Carbon taxes, raising taxes on the middle and upper class, appointing activist judges, nationalizing private industry, closing Guantanamo, pressuring Israel, coddling N. Korea and Iran etc.). These are not positions which should make even the most moderate Republican comfortable. Powell's recent comments in support of Obama's appointment of the liberal federal judge Sonia Sotomoyor is further evidence that Powell's next stop should be at the Board of Elections to change his voting registration. I don't mind Powell appearing on Sunday talk shows- just don't pretend to be a Republican.
