Wall Street Journal: How to block the liberal agenda from RPK.org Washington, meet Barack Obama. Barack Obama, remeet the Republican senators who are now going to help define your presidency. Democrats won big on Tuesday but not big enough. The voters' rebuke of the GOP was brutal, though not so cruel as to hand Mr. Obama and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid the 60 votes they needed to grease a sweeping agenda. The GOP still owns a filibuster, and that is as big a factor in this new "era" as is our president-elect. More |
The death of the American idea from NationalReview.com Under President Obama, just under half the population will be on the dole. ...
