In Remembrance


Thoughts and prayers go out on this day to all those who lost their lives on 9/11. We remember, in particular, our neighbor – father of our son’s best friend. John was a St. Michael's College graduate and we never drive by the campus without thinking of him.

On the Subject
Two years into the Obama Administration’s outreach to the Muslim world, it is clear that nothing has changed. Radical jihadists still seek to kill Americans. No doubt, Obama will continue along the same path, but we believe that our words will still be true another two years hence. The only option is to defeat them.

On the Subject II
Obama’s press conference yesterday was another reminder of how far he has fallen. The golden orator has again been exposed as just a guy who can read a speech off a teleprompter. Shorn of the prepared remarks, Obama becomes human. His answers were vague and halting. In particular, take a listen to his answers to the following questions:

Why do you think Democrats are running away from the health care bill as they campaign for reelection?

You were very critical of the Bush Administration for not capturing bin Laden. What does it say that you have not succeeded either?

In Vermont
Democrat gubernatorial candidate Peter Shumlin appeared on local news last night. He said – in effect - that the answer to creating more jobs in Vermont lay in passing single payer health care coverage. Pray tell, how does that create more jobs?
