Sen. John McCain said Thursday that President Obama's testy exchange with Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer on Wednesday over her criticisms of him in her recent book on immigration, and an angry exchange that the President had with Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal during the 2010 BP oil spill, is indicative of the President's "prickly personality". Details in the video below.

Vice President Joe Biden asserted, in a recent interview, that the Taliban is not an enemy of the United States. But, ironically, in 2008, Mr. Biden had a completely different view of the Taliban than the one he currently espouses. In fact, in 2008, Biden made the claim that both Al Qaeda and the Taliban had attacked us on 9/11.

During the State of the Union address on Tuesday, President Obama praised American service members for their sense of unity and their penchant to look out for one another, and 'have each other's backs'. Mr. Obama asserted, in typical, hypocritical fashion that Washington "can learn a thing or two" from these selfless individuals."Those of us who've been sent here to serve can learn a thing or two

No doubt about it, President Obama deseves credit for the Iraq "surge".The AP reported on Tuesday that, "Attacks in Iraq have 'surged' since the U.S. troops left. [Because Obama refused to leave a residual force of U.S. troops in Iraq.] More than 160 people have been killed since the beginning of the year."Clearly, Obama deseves credit for the "surge" in Iraq.....

In yet another sign that President Obama has successfully reset US, Russian relations, a Russian newspaper reported on Monday that Syria has signed a $550-million contract to purchase 36 Yak-130 combat jets from Russia. If confirmed, the deal would cement Russian opposition to international efforts to put pressure on [Bashar] Assad's regime over its attempts to snuff out the country's uprising...

For accuracy's sake, I've decided to revise an earlier post I had written about a passage in the newly released book, The Obamas, concerning a gripe that Michelle Obama had with former Chicago Mayor, Richard Daley. The intent of this revised post is two-fold: 1) To ensure that the First Lady's sentiments are portrayed both accurately and fairly. 2) To add some additional insights which strongly
