The situation surrounding the so-called “fiscal cliff” cries out for comment. So, I thought I’d offer my two cents amid the avalanche of predictably conventional news coverage.
Tuesday’s great election victory was punctuated with a grand speech which was consistent with President Obama’s philosophy and previous speeches.
Within minutes of sending #75 yesterday, a friend of mine, who is a writer and was managing editor of one of the country’s oldest and most thoughtful magazines, sent me a piece that appeared two days ago in New York magazine. It is entitled “The Case of Obama: Why He is a Great President. Yes, Great.”
As the clock winds down to Election Day, I feel the need to write about two things: 1) why I think President Obama will be reelected and 2) one of the primary reasons I think he should be.
The last few days of endless analysis of the first presidential debate has, I must admit, annoyed me.
I have a decidedly minority opinion on presidential debates. I don’t think they matter much. Presidential temperament and authenticity does.
My promise of another commentary on Obamacare will have to wait. More pressing matters have caught my attention.
Late last night, after sending # 71, I read Nate Silver’s piece in the New York Times on Cong. Ryan’s selection.
Usually, I am reluctant to effectively “tweet” about events as they unfold – impetuous reactions can be of little value or may even be ill-advised.
In my last Obamagram, I promised to summarize the 2006 Massachusetts law that served as the model for the new federal health insurance law. I’ll attempt to do that here.
On the heels of the Supreme Court ruling largely upholding the “Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act,” it’s time to follow up on Obamagram #45, “Health INSURANCE Reform,” written in September 2009, prior to the passage of the Act.
