CNN: “This is a hard decision for me personally because frankly I don’t like him,” she said of Obama in an interview with CNN’s Joe Johns. “I feel like he is an elitist. I feel like he has not given me reason to trust him.” Forester is the CEO of EL Rothschild, a holding company […]

There was only one catch and that was Catch-22, which specified that a concern for one’s safety in the face of dangers that were real and immediate was the process of a rational mind. Orr was crazy and could be grounded. All he had to do was ask; and as soon as he did, he […]

Remember the mention of the buttons about Sarah Palin skipping out on the Special Session?

Not from the guy you want it from.. But Blagojevich, who said he spent two summers after high school working on the Alaska pipeline, readily defended the executive experience that governors have in contrast to legislators when it comes to being presidential material. “I would hope the Democrats wouldn’t say that about a governor,” Blagojevich, […]

He and his brother John were born here, he went all the way through Auburn city schools, and he graduated from Auburn High in 1989.

Obama in 2004: Obama was chairman of the Senate committee that voted along party lines to move along the measure, which ultimately went nowhere. “Nobody’s suggesting that kindergartners are going to be getting information about sex in the way that we think about it,” Obama said. “If they ask a teacher ‘where do babies come […]

More like this please. “It is shameful and downright perverse for the McCain campaign to use a bill that was written to protect young children from sexual predators as a recycled and discredited political attack against a father of two young girls – a position that his friend Mitt Romney also holds. Last week, John […]
