Home >> United States & Canada President Barack Obama Obama’s Ersatz Church : Launching Pad For A Catholic Bashing Presidential Appointee?
Madeline Brooks, M.A. - 3/2/2010
Where is the baptism certificate? We do not see one because there was no baptism. That central part of Christianity was not required at Obama’s former church, the Trinity United Church of Christ, during the years Obama attended while he lived in Chicago (1988 – 2008). Obama has not attended another church with any frequency since then. In addition, there was no necessary renunciation of his prior faith, Islam, because in the Trinity United Church of Christ one can be both a Muslim and a member. Obama’s Polemics Versus the Economic Facts
Prof. Peter Morici - 2/8/2010
In politics, whatever the President can get voters to believe becomes the truth, but in economics the numbers establish the facts. Obama's State of the Union Message Tells Us Far More About the State of Obama
Prof. Barry Rubin - 1/29/2010
Significantly, President Barack Obama's discussion of foreign policy came only at the end of his State of the Union message. Obviously, domestic matters and especially the economy come first. Yet international affairs are not only vital but often have been the issues on which administrations are judged, no matter how unlikely that seemed at the time. Obama Administration Learns the Basic Lesson on the Israel-Palestinian Issue
Prof. Barry Rubin - 1/27/2010
In contrast to its refusal to change course on Iran, the Obama administration has learned something about Israel-Palestinian peacemaking, conclusions clearly expressed in the government’s new talking points. The Decline of the Obama Administration: Massachusetts and the Middle East
Prof. Barry Rubin - 1/21/2010
There is an iron rule in modern democratic politics that parties periodically ignore to their peril: if a party goes too far to an extreme--to the left, the right, or any other far-out viewpoint--the voters reject it. This is what's now happening in the United States. One wonders whether, or when, it will happen in a number of European countries. America: Time to honor it with a Nobel Peace Prize
Bhuwan Thapaliya - 12/31/2009
The Norwegian Nobel Committee has awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for 2009 to President Barack Obama for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples. I am happy for the great man and an inborn leader but instead The Nobel Peace Prize committee should have awarded the prize to America – a nation that has fought for others' liberty more than any other nation in the history of the world. Obama Confronting the Consequences of Bureaucracy and Corruption
Prof. Peter Morici - 12/7/2009
For Democrats, the chickens are coming home to roost. Badly conceived efforts to rescue homeowners facing foreclosure, regional banks and the unemployed are failing. Bureaucracy and corruption are to blame. America's leadership deficit
Prof. Peter Morici - 12/2/2009
Bigger than the budget deficit, America has a leadership gap. The economic recovery is not creating jobs; unemployment is rising; and the president and Congress offer little more than nostrums and platitudes. QUIZ: Who is This Politician? HINT: Not who you think!

Tanveer Jafri - 10/20/2009
The US President Barack Hussein Obama was recently selected for the Nobel Peace Prize 2009 by the Prize Committee in Oslo. This biggest peace prize would be presented to Obama in Norway on 10th December later this year. This prize contains an amount of $1.5 million besides the medal. This award is given to Obama for his initiatives to reduce nuclear arms, ease tensions with the Muslim world and stress diplomacy and cooperation rather than unilateralism. The Norwegian Nobel Committee said that President Obama is imagining of a nuclear weapons free world. The way he has given importance to diplo... President Obama's Policy Disaster
Amil Imani - 10/13/2009
Is history repeating itself? Is President Obama reenacting President Carter's tragic policy blunder toward Iran? Is Mr. Obama going to sacrifice the Iranian people at the altar of a misguided expediency as did Jimmy Carter some three decades ago? To what end? President Obama Has A Problem—And Its Not Health Care Reform
Trevor Albertson, PhD - 10/13/2009
The problems facing NATO and its efforts at creating a stable situation in Afghanistan are growing. Perhaps the greatest challenge is currently unfolding in Washington. President Obama must decide what to do with the recommendation from NATO’s senior military commander in the war-torn nation, U.S. Army General Stanley McChrystal. General McChrystal has recommended President Obama increase American troop levels and continue the fight in Afghanistan. While on the surface this appears to be a fairly simple decision, it is in fact fraught with lasting implications for the future stability of Afghanistan and, more importantly, NATO itself. Nobel Obama – a bit too early?
Saberi Roy - 10/10/2009
The Nobel Committee for once has got it wrong, at least in terms of timing. The Nobel Peace Prize to Obama displays the bankruptcy of the Nobel Committee’s decision-making process as it seems the Committee has been too eager to give away a prize to an already overstretched process of Obama-fame. I am personally an Obama supporter but like everything else there has to be a fine line between fame and over exposure and this latest Nobel Prize stunt really leaves a bad taste in the mouth. The Nobel Committee should have waited – one year, maybe... Nobel Committee Pulls Oil Plug on Democracy
Walid Phares, Ph.D. - 10/10/2009
As soon as the Oslo committee issued its Nobel Peace Prize to President Barack Obama, an expected debate raged in America about the legitimacy of such a move so very early in a U.S. presidential term. |
