Richard Cohen’s sister is canceling her inauguration party because of President-elect Obama’s choice of Rick Warren to bless Mr. Obama’s taking the office of the Presidency of the United State.

I must admit to being very worried at this point in time. Once again, Obama is “sobered and saddened’ by the horrid revelations surrounding the arrest of Governor Blagojevich, and once again, P.E. Obama seems to be contradicting himself and/or his campaign manager about meetings or conversations that took place or did not take [...]

It seems pointless to point out the obvious, especially when the majority of the country apparently doesn’t care if their Presidential Candidate lies to them, but I must follow up, anyway.
“In a new afterword to his memoir, 1960s radical William Ayers describes himself as a “family friend” of President-elect Barack Obama [...]
