Some Valid Questions for Barack Obama
Melissa On Shakesville has some questions for Barack Obama in relation to his SOTU response last night. I think Melissa questions and concerns are all quite valid. Here’s a few quips from Shakes: Responding to the SOTU address, Senator Obama concluded his remarks with the following: Each year, as we watch the State of the Union, we see half the chamber rise to applaud the President and half the chamber stay in their seats. We see half the country...

Obama and Another Great Communicator and Teflon Man: RR
