Democrats' logo January was not a good month for Democrats. At the start of the month, Congressional Democrats were in the final stages of ironing out differences in a sweeping health insurance reform bill, a party priority for decades. Then the party lost a special Senate election in the reliably blue state of Massachusetts – [...] Muhamed Sacirbey Along with mercantilism globally, is predation within financial markets ever more the defining characteristic? Even the predators can become potential prey in today’s financial, currency and commodity, markets. Thus, predatory behavior can also be defensively driven. Market participants perhaps may believe that they are acting in a preemptive nature to avoid becoming the prey, [...] President Obama’s political team got some good news and some bad news at the start of December. The bad news is that Obama’s net approval rating, which had stabilized after a summer slide, hit an abrupt downdraft that sent his approval into negative territory for the first time. As I am writing this, on Monday, [...] War in Afghanistan Obama’s decision to boost U.S. troops in Afghanistan is probably his third proper decision in the office since his January inauguration (the first being the pardoning of a turkey for the Thanksgiving and the second his recent recognition of the presidential elections in Honduras). For those, who awarded Mr. Obama the Nobel [...] Wall Street Wall Street is again moving up, from equity and commodity prices to bonuses and attitude. By comparison, Main Street is still losing jobs and homes. It is not only in the numbers though. The notion of entitlement appears retrenched amongst those at the top of the economic food chain.

A squad of operatives appears to function outside of legal authority but frequently within the scope of official political and/or judicial institutions. They act with impunity [...] Democrats' logo Through the summer the political fortunes of President Obama and the Democrats were apparently descending along with his polling approval rating, like passengers in a Hollywood airplane steadily losing altitude. Then around mid-August, just as Obama’s declining approval ratings were about to crash into a rising disapproval, the plane got back engine power [...] Joe Biden and Donald Tusk Under the Obama Administration, the bilateral Polish-U.S. relations have reached its lowest point since the collapse of the Soviet Union and Poland’s political reorientation to the Western democratic communities. Historically, those relations have never been so immaterial even under Obama’s Democratic predecessor Bill Clinton, who despite having strong leftist leanings, [...] Nobel Peace Prize “Deeds speak louder than words”, says an old proverb. One would assume that folks around the world should know this well, but apparently some Norwegians do not. Awarding the Nobel Peace Prize to Barack Obama is as shocking as it is laughable. And whatever the Norwegians meant that award to be, they [...] Barack Obama and Neosocialism The last couple of weeks in the U.S. foreign policy have been truly very strange. It first started on September 17, when Barack Obama officially announced his decision to terminate the anti-missile defense shield in Poland and the Czech Republic. A decision so unexpected that it even bewildered many U.S. think [...] |
