 |
Monday, September 16th | |
As thousands of Americans were showing up to work this morning around 8am ET at the Washington Navy Yard, they were met with gunfire, which killed at least twelve people and wounding countless others. Those numbers are likely to change as we learn more details of this tragedy. Our hearts and prayers go out to those affected by this shooting and we will keep you up to speed with the latest updates throughout the program today.

And Now Back To The Economy Having bungled his way into a "solution" for Syria, Barack Obama has decided to pivot (yet again) back to the economy. Today he marks the 5-year anniversary of the Great Recession. It is supposed to kick-off a week of events focused on the economy. Obama's goal: Blame the Republicans. If you are upset that the economy hasn't recovered enough, that is because Republicans are blocking Obama's policies. And we cannot forget that this was all Bush's fault to begin with! In other words, it's time for Obama to return to his familiar schtick of dividing America, blaming conservatives and promoting a victimization mentality. Coming off the heels of his embarrassing handling of the crisis in Syria, it will be interesting to see the public reaction to his latest pivot back to the economy. I get the impression that people are tuning Obama out, as his credibility continues to decline on all fronts. The fact is that he hasn't proposed anything new to get our economy growing.

With courts taking on an ever greater role in our lives, smarter judges are feared by the opposition. Although presidents want brilliant judges who support their positions, senators of the opposing party increasingly ''Bork'' those nominees who would be the most influential judges, subjecting them to humiliating and long confirmations. The conclusion? The brightest nominees will not end up on the bench. For more on Lott's new book, please click here.
