I watched Obama’s press conference tonight, as I am sure most of our readers did as well. I felt overall he handled everything that was thrown at him with great confidence and aplomb. Obama used the press conference to stress the concept that “his budget and policy prescriptions are exactly what’s needed to get nation’s [...]

Well, okay, it has some credibility left, but much less now that it’s hired Weekly Standard conspiracy theorist Stephen F. Hayes as a contributor.
