Where ever was the brilliance accorded to Obama by the media? This was at best the least vetted president of all time. While the tinkling was running down Chris Matthews legs, the press was busy trying to find the flaws in Sarah Palin. Thin resume? Against what no resume? In any other year the media would have wondered why everything about Obama was scrubbed. In this year everything was about Sarah's illegitimate grandchild. Anyone with an open mind could clearly see that this was not about the people, it was about Obama, from the theft of the presidential seal to carefully scripted teleprompter speeches, to the showmanship of Berlin, where he captured the audience with a free beer-fest.

Yet, it was Sarah, a popular sitting...

Nobody including Charles recognizes that the real inflation in the medical field is the great advances in technology. These add to the great outcomes of surgery and expanding care for disease. The costs do not come cheap, so my concern is that this may be a war that congress and this president is both unwilling to wage and clearly not willing to win.

I agree with Charles on the basic premise that this is merely a political battle for Obama to put on an empty resume. Yes, it will cost us in human life and yes a single payer system is merely another name for rationed care. Are we willing to give up a half century or more of medical advancements to save an Obama resume? I'm not.

We knew 235 years ago: He who governs least governs best. We know that any service government provides is at the highest possible cost. We know that this resident in the White House is an ideologist moving this country into bankruptcy and making private deals to get his way; that is extortion by any terminology. Some say this bill is reversible, it is not so easy as you will need a super majority to reverse this divesting legislation. We also know that any bureaucracy creates it own rules and regulations and this bill is fraught with agencies that will give the lawyers a field day sorting out individual mandates. You want to solve the problem you don't make it bigger. Every day I went to work in my business, I had one question on my...

This president has a policy of failure for our traditional role of supporting dissidents of tyrannical regimes. There is a no win strategy in a policy of sanctions. They did not work in Cuba, they did not work in Hussein's Iraq and there is no reason to believe they will work in Iran. The principle problem with sanctions is personal greed. In Iraq the Oil for Food program was little more than a stimulus for "allies" and the U.N. to personally make a cash grab.

Obama has led us to the brink of but two choices; regime change or war. In a week , I will turn 70 and never in my lifetime have I seen a government as inept in every phase as is the current regime in Washington. We too need regime change from the Capone mob and...

What we should do and how we can do it is a technology problem. To begin the revolt had legs because of communications. Nokia-Siemens working with the government all but cut those links. The U.N. couldn't save itself from a rain storm it is as corrupt as any organization could be. NATO has no will to fight and should also be disbanded - we already won the war they were created to resist.

Obama takes little baby steps when boldness is the trait that wins conflicts. He is all talk and no experience in which to take action. We will be lucky to survive him ourselves. Obama doesn't even believe we are in a conflict, except for his radicalization and declaration of war on capitalism.

The bitter truth is how do you fight in a...

Perhaps Obama is not lying. The alternative is that he has so little experience and ability that he just hasn't a clue about which he speaks. Either way he is a dangerous dud and one should stay as far away as possible least he explodes. He has already imploded so this would be an interesting inversion of an inert material.

Forgetting the merits or demerits of the health care plans the two main purposes is to raise money for the out of control government spending and to further control the total personal information with which to control the average citizen. Add this to cap and trade, penalty taxes for which the government controls your every personal decision (cigarette tax, soda tax) state and local taxes; the average family will work until Christmas to pay their tax bills. Hell we fought a war for a lousy stamp tax and the Declaration of Independence only needs a few word changes to be submitted to these fools in Washington.

Yes, how many times can you beat me before I leave home? How long will I wear this stupid burka, cover my head and not allow the wind to run free through my raven hair? How long must I wait with a college education to find a job and build a dowry to marry? Stupid America, you give up your freedom so cheaply, you will learn it is not so easy to get back. Iran cannot get its freedom back with one guy, not Yeltsin, not Mousavi, not even George Washington. It takes organization to fight the mob of hypocritical mullahs. The problem with most revolutions is that the mob begins them but only organizational skills defeats the ruling class. The army and police must be turned against the Besij, Hezbollah, Hamas and Khomeini mullahs. They fear for...

This is not a dear john letter, quite the opposite, welcome to the Fox Network the network with the cahones to tell it like it is.

You have asked for topical discussions and many here have made good suggestions for both topics and guest speakers. I have never met a politician who could hold a candle to the the executive abilities of the average businessman, but we have in fact out standing business executives - save for a very small number in the banking industry, never much known for their talent. But then not all of that is their fault, they are tied in red ribbons of regulation that produces negative affects. The centralization of banking took place by liberals. I think in the larger picture it was incremental to...

Charles, I usually find your comments accurate, your topics timely, to the point, with intellectual wit. Which has me wondering how you could have deemed Obama intellectually astute in past articles.

He has been in perpetuate campaign mode to the point of being stuck on stupid. He has gathered around him a cabinet and administration of Keystone Kops, if one is kind.

There never was a commitment by this administration toward a war on terror; they don't even understand the concept. There is no experience to guide them, not with Napolitano, not with Holder and clearly none with Obama. The structures you mention such as HIG would need an administrator to implement, but the man in the White House has no executive experience...
