January 21, 2008 The Great Need of the Hour Barack Obama The Scripture tells us that when Joshua and the Israelites arrived at the gates of Jericho, they could not enter. The walls of the city were too steep for any one person to climb; too strong to be taken down with brute force. And so they sat for days, unable to pass on through.But God had a plan for his people. He told them to stand together and march together around the city, and on the seventh day he told them that when they heard the... Sign in to see full entry.

Obama Concession Speech
I want to congratulate Senator Clinton on a hard-fought victory here in New Hampshire.A few weeks ago, no one imagined that we'd have accomplished what we did here tonight. For most of this campaign, we were far behind, and we always knew our climb would be steep. But in record numbers, you came out and spoke up for change. And with your voices and your votes, you made it clear that at this moment – in this election – there is something happening in America. There is something happening when men...

Maureen Dowd December 23 New York Times "Endless Soap Opera"
Once it was about Hillary, but now, of course, it’s about Bill. Our ubiquitous ex-president is playing his favorite uxorious game, and it goes like this: Let’s create chaos and then get out of it together. You ride to my rescue or I ride to yours. We come within an inch of dying and then recapture the day by the skin of our teeth. While we’re killing ourselves, we blame everyone else. We’ll be heroes. It worked for Bill and Hillary in ’92 and ’96. It didn’t work in the health care debacle. Will... Sign in to see full entry.

November 02, 2007 The Real Hill-Bill Problem By Charles Krauthammer WASHINGTON -- Americans don't normally take much notice of Argentine elections. But they did notice when Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, wife of President Nestor Kirchner, was elected to succeed him last Sunday, ensuring not just a co-presidency, but the prospect of alternating presidencies as far as the eye can see. Of course, spousal succession, while new to the United States, is hardly new to Argentina. Their tradition of... Sign in to see full entry.
