President Obama’s Bridge over the River Politics.
No politician can succeed without mastering “optics”. That is to say anyone who aspires to political office has to be keenly aware of how their actions, the venues from which they speak, and the activities they pursue publicly, will be seen through the eyes of the average voter who is not motivated chiefly by politics.

Who is to Blame for Solyndra’s Bankruptcy? Oh, You Won’t Believe This One…
I’m pretty sure that if someone invented a Gall-O-Meter and pointed it toward Washington, the resulting overload explosion would leave a Chicxulub-sized crater. The Department of Labor, headed by anti-capitalist Hilda Solis, has launched its own investigation into SolyndraScam.

All I Know of SolyndraScam is Now Yours

What’s that? You think I’m wildly exaggerating? You don’t believe that she of the ego large enough [...]
The Administration’s New “Cash for Clunkers” Will Be Fine if We Never Do the Math
I’m willing to say at this point that there is no horribly failed idea to which this administration won’t return, like some sort of drunken homing pigeon. You”ll never guess which clunker of a program is going to get a second go. Wait, did I just give it away? Ready for another cash for clunkers [...]
