  • Policy challenges: Syria, drones, and the NSA


    In his second term, President Barack Obama is facing many diverse challenges, as all modern presidents have.
    Most recent presidencies have either failed outright in the second term or met such obstacles that the leader’s “legacy” has been greatly affected.
        In Obama’s case, it’s a combination of domestic and foreign challenges that, so far at least, is giving the president fits. This is frustrating to his supporters and encouraging to his enemies, who long so much for Obama to fail.

  • Obama kicks his lapdog

      
        All through President Barack Obama’s first term, most of the mainstream media has served as his lapdog.

  • Can you hear us now?

    t sounded good, didn’t it.
        It’s going to help us catch all the bad guys; it will help us stop them before they do any more harm.
        The Patriot Act will solve everything.
        That’s what we thought we needed, in the days following the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. At least some of us did.
        But even the best of intentions can lead one down a road best left not traveled.
        We found that out this past week.

  • A message for our graduates: Seek opportunity

    A wise man named Albert Einstein once said, “In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity.”  As high school and college students across the Sixth District don caps and gowns, walk across the stage, and accept a diploma, we are reminded of the great opportunities fostered by education and hard work.
