Fouad Ajami: Barack Obama the Pessimist – WSJ.com

August 1 | Posted by mrossol | American Thought, Obama

A narcissist and a pessimist.. ==== By FOUAD AJAMI In one of the illuminating, unscripted moments of the 2008 presidential campaign, Barack Obama said—much to the dismay of his core constituency—that the Reagan presidency had been “transformational” in a way that Bill Clinton’s hadn’t.

A Leadership Default

July 27 | Posted by mrossol | Obama

7/25/11 WSJ   The Obama Presidency has been unprecedented in many ways, and last night we saw another startling illustration: A President using a national TV address from the White House to call out his political opposition as unreasonable and radical and blame them as the sole reason for the “stalemate” over spending and the national debt.

But he cares too... Read more

Damage Done

July 26 | Posted by mrossol | Debt, Economics, Obama, US Debt

Thoughts of John Melloy, Executive Producer, Fast Money: (7/25/11) In the eyes of China, the biggest foreign holder of Treasuries, the damage to this nation’s reputation as steward of the world’s safest asset may already be done, even if a last-minute agreement to raise the debt ceiling is hatched. The partisan infighting alone that’s brought the decision to the brink of... Read more
