More smart power?
WASHINGTON -Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton’s failure to win Russian support for tougher talk on Iran exposed a divide between the two powers on how best to push Iran into accepting limits on its nuclear ambitions.
The setback does not doom the Obama administration’s hopes for diplomatic progress this year on Iran. Nor does it nix another high-priority administration goal: reversing a recent slump in relations with Moscow.
But it muddies the outlook for persuading Iran that painful penalties loom if the regime fails to satisfy U.S. and …

Lewis in not telling the “whole story” about the Maryland law, and using Linda Tripp as a favorable example might not have been a great idea considering the charges against Tripp were dropped.

As diplomacy talks are set to begin today between Iran and the permanent members of the U.N. Security Council plus Germany (the G5+1) to deter the Iranian regime from pursuing their nuclear weapons program, the Obama-Clinton foreign policy strategy appears to have strengthened Iran’s murderous regime.
Last Friday, President Obama revealed that another Iranian uranium-enrichment facility is buried at an Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps base near Qom. President Obama has known about this formerly secret facility since he became President-elect and was selecting his foreign policy team that would …

Typically when a U.S. Secretary of State makes an explosive, unsubstantiated statement regarding Iran, a country at war with the U.S. for 30 years, whose Regime is beating, raping, imprisoning and murdering its own people, has the blood of American heroes on their hands and a nuclear enrichment program that stands as the premier threat to the world, it would garner worldwide news and that person would possibly be held to account.
Not so with President Barack Obama’s Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton even though her statement directly contradicted …

Obama’s bill did not specify the “systematic approach” he plans to “embed” in America’s students to achieve the “desired behaviors” or “important social outcomes” his legislation mandates.

My October 7, 2008 article seems relevant today.
Unfortunately Gov. Sarah Palin wasn’t exaggerating when she said on Saturday that Presidential hopeful Barack Obama was friendly “with terrorists” referring to William Ayers, the unrepentant terrorist and former Weather Underground Operative.
The question to ask today, however, is whether or not Ayer’s radical ideologies play a role in Obama’s revolutionary 2007 education legislation.
In a debate with Sen. Hillary Clinton, Obama tried to downplay his association with Ayers when he said, “This is a guy who lives in my neighborhood…He’s not somebody …
