Earlier this month, President Obama made a big show about rolling out a “to-do” list he had for Congress. In a speech in Albany, NY, he said, “[T]oday I’m announcing a handy little ‘To-Do’ list that we’ve put together for Congress. You can see it for yourselves at whitehouse.gov. It’s about the size of a Post-It note, so every member of [...]

I discussed the Ron Paul Newsletter a few days ago which he claims he had no knowledge of at the time. And Paul’s followers take him at his word. They might want to reconsider this one. Only there is a problem with his assertion that he knew nothing about these letters. My CPAC friend Doug [...]

Editor’s Note: One of the greatest benefits to attending an event like CPAC is the wealth of people one meets. One of the more interesting people I met at the three day conference was Dr. John Press.
