Reform, not Rescue… Buy in, not Bail Out.

Reform, not Rescue… Buy in, not Bail Out.

This is a restructuring, not a rescue. It’s a buy in, not a bailout.

I accept the challenge of a tough fight in [...]

Virgina’s 13 delegates, New Hampshire’s 4 delegates, and Colorado’s 9 delegates, mean the difference between Obama being elected by 8 delegates, or McCain being elected by 2. Moreover, there is a very distinct possibility that the next [...]

What Obama’s Policies mean for America: Defense Policy

This is the first article in a multi-article set that will examine each of the policy “categories” that Sen. Obama identifies as part of his platform, and offer some critical analysis of what an Obama Presidency might mean, given what he has said.
I decided to write these series of articles after Sen. Obama commented on [...]
