From Hot Air: Barack Obama is out of the political mainstream on abortion. Don’t take our word for it, just listen to Sen. Obama’s own statements.

From Hot Air: If recent polls are to believed, freshman Senator Barack Obama has a better than average chance of becoming America’s 44th President, the Commander-in-Chief of the planet’s most powerful military, and the proverbial leader of the free world.

You Can’t Professionalize Unless You Federalize

October 26th, 2008 · Comments Off

In the mindless hysteria following the attack of 9/11 then-Senator Tom Daschle (D-SD) insisted on federalizing air screeners, famously declaring that you can’t “professionalize unless you federalize”.
