Politics
- Will
Obama’s stadium-style charisma and rhetoric hold up when things
get close-up?
- I’m
with Ed Morrissey on this one: Let
Bobby Jindal clean up Louisiana first.
- The Left is
rethinking Reagan in Newsweek this week.
- Obama’s
chief strategist is mixed up with earmarks. He “is an honorary board
member of Citizens United for Research in Epilepsy (CURE), an organization
co-founded and run without salary by his wife, Susan, to help find a cure
for a condition that afflicts their daughter. In March, 2007, Illinois
Rep. Rahm Emanuel , a longtime friend of the Axelrods, secured a $1.2
million earmark for CURE in the fiscal 2008 Defense Appropriations law so
that the organization, in conjunction with the Pentagon, can make grants
to research the prevention or treatment of epilepsy after traumatic brain
injuries -- what David Axelrod and others call the signature disability of
the Iraq War.”
