American Grit Part 1

February 24, 2009 by GregC

America is facing very difficult challenges both here at home and abroad. What will it take for us to not only survive these hurdles but thrive as we lead the world through the 21st century? Why is a new American nationalism necessary? What does that mean? How important is the free market to that vision? And how endangered is the free market right now? We ask author and political commentator Tony Blankley, whose latest book is “American Grit: What it Will Take to Survive and Win in the 21st Century”. This is the first of a two part interview.

The ‘Slobbering Love Affair” Between Obama and the Press

February 24, 2009 by GregC

The mainstream media are always titling to the left but in 2008, the press was more in the tank than ever for the Democrats – and specifically Barack Obama. That’s the thesis of the new book by longtime network television reporter Bernard Goldberg titled, “A Slobbering Love Affair: The True (and Pathetic) Story of the Torrid Romance Between Barack Obama and the Mainstream Media”. Why does Goldberg believe coverage of the campaign crossed the line from bias to activism? What’s the difference and why is that difference important? Why did the press consider the campaign more about themselves than Obama? Why did reporters really loathe Sarah Palin? How was it obvious that negative stories for Obama got far less attention than ones that reflected poorly on John McCain? And what risk do we fun if this media activism is allowed to continue?

Dr. Larry Sabato Assesses Obama’s First 30 Days in Office

February 20, 2009 by GregC

How has President Obama performed over the past 30 days?  How tough of a hand was he dealt coming into the White House?  Does he own the economy now in political terms?  Should he be aggressive with his agenda given the huge Democratic majorities in Congress?  How have the Republicans performed?  Will they be seen as the loyal opposition or just obstructionists?  And is Obama making good use of his gift for speaking or is the new president overexposed?  We ask Larry Sabato, professor of political science at the University of Virginia.  He is also the author of the forthcoming book “The Year of Obama: How Barack Obama Won the White House”.
