Every year this country dumps $15 billion into the war on drugs. This number has continued to grow every year, yet the drug “problem” in the United States continues to grow. So while we are talking about trimming the fat from the budget, how about we start with this huge waste? It seems a lot […]
We saw today what it was like when politics don’t matter as two former presidents appeared with President Obama: Now if only the rest of our country could do the same.
It takes a nation being in rubble, millions suffering and tens of thousands dead, but we finally get a Sunday talking heads line up absent John McCain and Joe Lieberman this week. The show to watch will be This Week when Jake Tapper talks to former presidents Bush and Clinton about their Haitian relief fund.
President Obama just announced that tomorrow former presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton will be at the White House to discuss the Haiti relief efforts the two former presidents will lead. It’s great to see our leaders put politics aside to focus on the humanitarian crisis underway in the battered nation of Haiti, especially […]
Chuck Todd reported on MSNBC this morning that President Obama called former President George W. Bush last night and asked him to help former President Clinton with Haiti, much the same way his father helped Clinton. Bush has said he will do “whatever is necessary”. In a time when our nations is so polarized, it’s […]

This morning while watching Morning Joe, Scarborough kept defending the comments by saying “well Clinton was out bashing Bush right after Bush took office”. As usual with Joe he is in another attempt […]

But Bush isn’t […]
No more secrets! On his first day in office, President Obama put former president Bush on notice. His administration just released an executive order that will make it difficult for Bush to shield his White House records–and those of former Vice President Dick Cheney–from public scrutiny by invoking the doctrine of executive privilege. Shortly after […]
Seriously – isn’t that what we have heard for years? They blame Clinton and Carter. So then riddle me this one: Anxious not to repeat mistakes of past Middle East peace-making, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has turned to former presidents Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter for tips ahead of her own conference this year. […]
Funny how Bush always says that the historian’s will judge him in the future and they will judge him as being a great leader and visionary. What makes it so funny is the fact that during his first year in office (two months after 9/11) he issued an executive order protecting Presidential records: Overturning the […]
