I am a great admirer of Hillary and Bill Clinton. An amazing team of politicians that our nation has been fortunate to have had as leaders.
But South Carolina has convinced me that Obama’s time is now.

Nativity scenes are common this time of year.
They are seen in front of homes and churches. This year, they are being moved onto public property.
The First Amendment of the Constitution prohibits the Establishment of Religion. This ’separation’ is designed to protect religious freedom and not subvert it. Some people don’t get it.

I join with other investors in disappointment of seeing a 1/4% drop in the Fed Discount Rate.
The market didn’t like it and turned from about a 50 point gain in the Dow to a 220 point loss. And the market has another [...]

Before there was 9/11 there was 11/22.
I was only nine years old when President Kennedy was assassinated. Coming home from school at Halls Cross Roads in Aberdeen, Maryland, I was met by my mother at the bus which had arrived late because I was on flag duty, getting the opportunity to take down the school [...]
