Were reporters “banned” from Sarah Palin’s meeting with foreign leaders?  Does this show that Sarah Palin is not ready to stand on her own, and that the McCain campaign is either fearful or has something to hide?  Can Sarah Palin not handle the media?  How about “not.”
Fox News put this “story” into perspective:
The Associated Press [...]

Well, Barack Obama and I were wrong about McCain suspending his campaign yesterday and heading to Washington to help lead Congress during the bailout talks.  Since Obama has never admitted to being wrong about anything (except for welfare reform, as he mentioned in the Saddleback Forum), I guess it is up to me to admit [...]

Liberals love to present themselves as “tolerant” and “intellectual,” providing a forum for different ideas and being open to new experiences.  The fact that it is a gigantic crock of something really putrid is completely irrelevant.
An organic wine from Chile has oenophiles in San Francisco turning up their noses. But there’s nothing wrong with the [...]

Obama snootily said that he could multitask, and that he could engage in bitter and cynical partisan political attacks, and help unify [...]

Obama sent an email to supporters that shows just how vacuous and confused he is.

Just the Facts: The Administration’s Unheeded Warnings About the Systemic Risk Posed by the GSEs
For many years the President and his Administration have not only warned of the systemic consequences of financial turmoil at a housing government-sponsored enterprise (GSE) but also put forward thoughtful plans to reduce the risk that either Fannie Mae or Freddie [...]

The new Wall Street Journal-NBC News poll shows that the race between Obama and McCain remains a dead heat. MSNBC turns the story into a 12-point lead for Obama (but read the fine print).
