President Obama delivered a speech Thursday at Cooper Union in New York City that called for financial reform on Wall Street. The president noted that it was at Cooper Union two years ago that he had warned of the consequences of allowing Wall Street to continue to do business as usual. Many of the leaders of the largest financial firms did not attend the president’s speech. The president urged... 

President Obama is on the lookout for a new Supreme Court Justice and while the calls are going out, no one knows exactly whose phones are ringing. There have been several names given out on the call list including, Judge Ann Claire Williams, the first African American appellate judge in the federal Seventh Circuit, but the President is keeping quiet about who exactly he has in mind to replace Justice... 

President Obama decided late last week to officially scrap George W. Bush’s plan to send men to the moon as an intermediate stopover for an eventual manned mission to Mars. Obama has instead decided to develop the technology to send a manned mission to a near-Earth asteroid. The benefits of the asteroid approach would be numerous, as the technology for the asteroid and Mars missions are virtually... 

A Camp Pendleton Marine has sparked a free-speech debate among his 400 fans on Facebook with his anti-Obama remarks. Sgt. Gary Stein posted comments critical of President Obama’s health reform bill on his Facebook page and then took the comments down after he was asked by his superiors to review directives about military personnel being involved in political activities.

Though representatives from the National Day of Prayer Task Force expressed disappointment at the lack of ceremony from... 

President Obama enjoys playing roles and speaking before the world. Last year in Cairo, he addressed Arab students. Unfortunately, nothing in the way of progress occurred in Middle East peace negotiations since that speech. The Arabs and Israelis are still at each other’s throats. Now the President has convened a two day economic summit in Washington to try to deal with the threat from nuclear... 

Sarah Palin has joined Rush Limbaugh and other commentators in mocking President Obama’s policies. First it was the Healthcare bill. Now she is attacking, in mocking fashion, the president’s new rules on the use of nuclear weapons. The president has listed cases where he will rule out the use of nuclear weapons. Sarah Palin is laughing at this notion and initiating once again the charge... 

Though President Obama is criticized as being soft on terrorism by Republicans, this is not always the case. He has increased the use of drones to take out suspected terrorists, with the usual collateral damage. Now he has put an American born cleric on a hit list. This means that he can be taken out on sight before a trial. Another name for this is “targeted killing.” Even former President... 

The census is a confidential form but under pressure from the press, information was revealed as to how the President answered a census question. The President answered the question that he was Black, when he could have checked more than one box, denoting him as of mixed parentage.
