NEXT > 7 unasked questions of Obama Thursday February 12, 2009 by Larry Elder -- President Barack Obama this week conducted his first prime-time press conference. After blaming the "failed theories of the last eight years" for today's economic crisis, he pushed for massive, unprecedented government spending. Lefty radio talk show host Ed Schultz – who once cal ... All economists agree? Wednesday February 04, 2009 by Larry Elder -- "There is no disagreement," said then-President-elect Barack Obama Jan. 9, "that we need action by our government, a recovery plan that will help to jump-start the economy." No disagreement? During the last economic downturn – seven years ago – I interviewed econom ... Obama's endless honeymoon Thursday January 29, 2009 by Larry Elder -- "When," someone recently asked me, "does President Obama's media 'honeymoon' period end?" Answer: It won't. Oh, sure, every relationship experiences peaks and valleys. But the "mainstream media" wanted Obama to win, and helped him do so. If Obama were a stock, the media would ... Obama begins – as does resurrection of Bush Thursday January 22, 2009 by Larry Elder -- This week, Barack Obama became the 44th president of the United States. So now the governing begins – along with the resurrection of George W. Bush's reputation. Candidate Obama promised to pull all the troops from Iraq within the first year to 16 months of his administration. Pre ... Does Iraq make Bush a 'failed president'? Thursday January 15, 2009 by Larry Elder -- In his final press conference, President George W. Bush called failing to find WMD in Iraq a "disappointment." For many historians – not allowing a little history to pass before rendering judgment – this makes him a "failed president." In a 2006 survey of 744 history profess ... The truth about Israel's 'stolen' land Thursday January 08, 2009 by Larry Elder -- Much of the world buys the line – peddled by the Palestinians and the Arab Muslim world and, indeed, many Western countries – that paints Israel as the bad "Goliath" that "stole" the land from the "Palestinians." Israel gave Gaza self-rule in 1994, unilaterally withdrawing t ... 'Barack the Magic Negro'-gate Thursday January 01, 2009 by Larry Elder -- This is how the whole thing started. David Ehrenstein, a writer who happens to be black and liberal, wrote an opinion piece in March 2007 in the Los Angeles Times called "Obama the 'Magic Negro.'" He argued that whites, according to sociologists, stereotype blacks as "dangerou ... Bernard Madoff: The rule or exception? Thursday December 25, 2008 by Larry Elder -- Add the name Bernard Madoff to the pantheon of big-time thieves. The legendary billionaire hedge-fund manager, "the man with the Midas touch," now stands accused of running a massive Ponzi scheme, perhaps the largest in history. Year after year, his investors – somehow, someway, in good tim ... Suppose the shoe thrower targeted Saddam Thursday December 18, 2008 by Larry Elder -- The name: Muntadhar al-Zeidi – a new hero to many in the Muslim world. President Bush – in a surprise, end-of-term visit to Iraq – held a press conference with Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki. Al-Zeidi, an Iraqi "reporter," shouted, "This is your farewell kiss, yo ... 'Government rescue' an oxymoron Thursday December 11, 2008 by Larry Elder -- "Say something nice about Obama." This challenge came at a party from a good-natured self-described "rabid Obama supporter." Normally, when off the clock, I avoid this kind of stuff. How different is it to, say, approach a physician in a social setting and say: "Doc, my knee hurts in th ... Pages: < PREVIOUS 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 ...
