Former White House Speechwriter Calls for Barack Obama to ‘Release the Birth Documents’

October 15th, 2009 · 13 Comments

Editor’s Note: Several times during the past few years, I’ve turned to Michael Johns, a White House speechwriter during the George H.W.

Blogger Dissects Obama’s Al Arabiya TV Interview

January 27th, 2009 · 5 Comments

In keeping with White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs’ practice of publishing only select tidbits of information about newsworthy events involving President Barack Obama, I decided to dissect six excerpts from the transcript of the president’s first sit-down media interview — with Al Arabiya TV’s Hisham Melhem, I might add.  Those snippets appear below, followed [...]

Christians Sacrificed to ‘Clean Up’ Obama’s Past

October 18th, 2008 · 11 Comments

Editor’s Note: I rarely republish a post from another blog in its entirety.  Today, however, I make an exception in the case of a post published one month ago by Larry Martin.
