Clinton worried about North Korean ties to Myanmar - Comment:
Note the paragraph near the end of the article about Obama asserting

rejected the treaty. |
|

cave in and then try to weasel out of responsibility for it.

distract from their legislative
atrocities. |
|
July 14, 2009 -
AP source: NY AG seeking settlement with Rattner - Comment:
Of course, this has nothing to do with his resignation as Obama's car

somebody else with no auto industry experience while all attention was
on Sotomayor. |
|
July 14, 2009 -

idea. |

More problems for health care bill - Comment: Slowing it
down as Democrats take the heat from various unpopular tax proposals to

capital gains tax. |
|
July 8, 2009 -
On eve of debate, House Democrats say CIA lied - Comment:
Congress is still a threat to human

red herring. Remember the costly damage done by the
Church Committee back in the Carter era? |
|

Matter |

debate while he is in Moscow with Putin? |
|
July 4, 2009 -
Obama's trip: 3 more countries, 1 broad mission - Comment:
Russia, G8 and Ghana trip plans. Be wary of the desire to reach

|
July 4, 2009 -
VP Biden celebrates July 4 with US troops in Iraq - Comment:
Note the pithy quote about the US naturalization ceremony in one of
Saddam's former palaces. He also made it clear to the Iraqi
leadership that they're on their own if things get worse again in Iraq,
regardless of what causes it. Of course, all the Democratic
leaders wanted to pull out before the surge turned Iraq around, but now
they just don't want to cut and run so fast that they will get blamed if
things go wrong after that. |
|
July 3, 2009 - Berman Post blog - videos of
Obama in the Hall of Presidents at Disney World |

|
July 2, 2009 -
Obama to tell Putin: Time to move past Cold War - Comment:
Obama was still just a college student when Reagan firmly brought it to
a successful conclusion despite all his liberal critics. Obama
doesn't seem to have a firm grasp of that recent history, much less
current foreign policy issues. Read past the
headline for some other memorable quotes, such as "I'm not
reconciled with that" when asked about the risk of Iran getting
nuclear weapons during his term of office. How weak is that? |
|
July 2, 2009 -
Missile experts see Soviet parts in NKorean rocket - Comment:
Interesting analysis. Perhaps Obama could ask Putin
how North Korea obtained this Cold War era technology? |
|
July 2, 2009 -
Senate bill fines people refusing health coverage - Comment:

Explanation
of the News Archive feature |
| Note
that at www.Breitbart.com you can
see reader comments about the articles by following the "Show Comments"
link which is found at the bottom of each article. Since most
articles no longer show up for visitors there within 24 hours, many
articles have few comments unless they were very hot topics that day.
The AP often releases multiple versions of the same story, even with
very minor revisions, in which case a new page is created for each
version. That causes reader comments to be scattered across
multiple versions of the story. We do not attempt to link to every
version of the story. |
| At
some point links may no longer work because the other websites involved
will purge their content, but a Google search for the same headline may
still find them through other sources for reference. |
| This
tool was created to make it easier for conservative voters to go back
and find relevant political stories long after they have disappeared
from the current headlines. In some cases these stories were
hardly even mentioned at the time in the liberal news media, or quickly
disappeared from the news, so many voters may be completely unaware of
them. Some of the stories display obvious bias by the reporters,
but readers can be the judge of that. The comments reflect our own
editorial opinion on these stories. |
