Obama should appoint Mitt Romney to run the VA
Let’s be fair to the president. The problem with healthcare at the Veteran’s Administration preceded President Obama.
The Bush administration tried to do something about it by increasing funding. Funding was increased even more under the Obama administration.
In all, spending has increased 106% since 2003. Caseloads have only increased 30% in the same time period. So we don’t have a money problem as much as a structural problem.
Liberals' "mealy-mouthed obfuscation" toward Cuba
“I am going to torture you, Mr. Anderson. You are an enemy to my revolution. Before I kill you, I am going to drain most of the blood from your body for my medics to use on my wounded soldiers with your blood type.”

Ronald Reagan was a man of the people.
This Hollywood Democrat landed a job hosting television’s new General Electric Theater. His life would never be the same. For one thing, he owned a piece of this wildly popular show, which is how he made his fortune.
For another, as part of his job, GE sent him all over the country to visit their plants and give speeches to their employees and customers as a PR move. Some quarter of a million people heard him speak over an eight year period.
Mr. Reagan gave a great speech, which made him popular with the working class Americans who worked in GE’s plants and factories. But something more important than celebrity came out of all his exposure to working class America. He had a chance to listen to normal people …

“I’m thinking we should do something.”
These were the sentiments expressed by a friend over coffee this morning. We were talking about the Syrian situation.
My friend was concerned about the victims of chemical weapons in Syria. Shouldn’t a great nation like the U.S. intercede in the name of humanity? For the record, she is an ardent Obama supporter …

By Tom Quiner [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fw4TfcOD-UA] No, the other side does not have a good motive. Democrats despised President Bush and former Speaker Newt Gingerich. They didn’t trust their motives. Republicans despise President Obama and Speaker Pelosi. They don’t trust their motives. It wasn’t always this way in America, was it? One of America’s great commentators on…
