Today every American mourns the loss of maybe one our nation's strongest member of the Conservative movement, and certainly was one of the GREATEST members of the Reagan revolution. I admire, and I think every American admires, his work on the Kemp-Roth tax cuts. I admire his strength to get through Reagan's spending cuts, and his love for Conservative principles. He has inspired Americans since his time in Congress and his memory must live on. He is the kind of man that we must all look to. An all-American at heart, a family man in action, and a Conservative in principle. If one politician in the past 30 years has made a greater impact on the modern Conservative movement besides Goldwater, Reagan, Kemp, and Gingrich I would like to know his name because there is none. Kemp has made a great impact on America and, specifically, the Conservative movement in America. May he rest in peace, but may his principles live on forever. |

Calling all...congressional wives? POLITICO.com's Ben Smith repoted about a DC Documentary series is looking for "commanding congressional wives, sassy socialites, and dynamic divas in charge." The casting call itself tells us that "We want to see how young, dynamic D.C. functions in a demanding town that is filled with major power players." Did I hear that right; "...young, dynamic D.C."? I think I did. When was the last time you heard a casting director refer to D.C. as "young" and "dynamic?" It certainly wasn't like that during the Bush era... Click here to read Ben Smith's post, as well as the entire casting call. |

After his 100th day Presidential Press Conference, the votes are in, and earlier today Jonathan Martin and John F. Harris of the POLITICO cast their ballot in a piece examining the President's mood last night. The piece entitled "Obama works to avoid being exciting" brings up a very valid point about the President's mood last night. He was not campaign-Obama, he was not town hall-Obama, and he was not debate-Obama, he was more of a man trying too hard to look Presidential. Martin and Harris wrote: The television networks have given President Barack Obama airtime for three prime-time news conferences in three months for an obvious reason: He is an exciting politician governing in a too-exciting-for-comfort time.
But this was sometimes hard to remember during Obama’s hour-long outing before White House reporters Tuesday night.
The questions were greeted by slow nods and thoughtful pauses. When the answers came, they were precise, considered, sometimes academic, always articulate, not usually all that newsy, and, let’s face it, occasionally long-winded.
Far from electric, this was a tranquilizing performance. So much so that it was impossible not to conclude that a president who certainly knows how to be exciting was making a calculated effort not to be.
------------------------------- This article is too true in its examination. However, it makes one wonder, is this the effect of his teleprompter reliance? |
