Weekly Wrap-Up

The understandable euphoria over the death of Osama bin Laden is easing up – so now we can take a more measured view of what it means and what the situation says about the Obama Administration.

The always insightful Charles Krauthammer notes – and I agree – that “the bin Laden operation is the perfect vindication of the war on terror.”

Via the Weekly Standard, here is Mark Halperin’s interesting take on “The Five Mistakes the Obama Administration Has Made in the Aftermath of the Bin Laden Killing.”

Halperin says that one Obama Administration mistake is letting the debate over America’s future in Afghanistan get out of control, and notes that this allows “those pressing for an end of the war to use bin Laden's death as rhetorical leverage.”

And indeed, the newest issue of the Democrats’ favorite magazine, The Nation, blasts this on the cover: “Bin Laden is Dead: Now, Let’s Get Out of Afghanistan and End the War on Terror.”

Self-proclaimed “hawk” Larry Kudlow is taking a more measured approach, saying that now is the time to take a serious look at America’s role in Afghanistan and the next steps – not the end – for the War on Terror.

And Sen. Joe Lieberman and other members of Congress are warning against any dramatic decisions about Afghanistan based solely on the death of Osama bin Laden.

What do you think? Should we immediately end operations in Afghanistan, as the “progressive” Democrats are demanding? Should we stay the course? Or, is there a middle ground?

Give your opinion in our new Weekly Poll.

Even something as dramatic as the death of one of America’s greatest enemies can’t change some things for President Obama: Unemployment is still rampant...

... and gas prices are still too high – though there is hope for long-term and short-term relief.

All this means that despite the success of the Osama bin Laden operation, public opinion on President Obama’s handling of the economy is at an all time low.

Here in New York – thanks to the Conservative Party and other pro-taxpayer groups – there is hope for a property tax cap.

Have a great weekend!

People who live in areas without public transportation should be up-in-arms about this Obama proposal!

Every American should be up-in-arms about this. Where is the resolve to cut spending? They really can't be serious in thinking that Congress will raise the debt ceiling by $2 trillion so they don't have to revisit the issue before the 2012 presidential election....seriously, do they think we are not paying attention to the out of control spending?

Jobless claims up again.

Governor Cuomo dismisses Speaker Silver's "temporary" tax cap. Minority Leader Kolb encourages the Governor to turn up the heat. Our press release on Monday has certainly been the stimulus of getting the "players" engaged! We have been told that the Long Island Tax Reform group is holding a rally on Tuesday, May 10 at 11:00 AM in the Well of the LOB and you are welcome to partake in the rally to pass the property tax cap. We have also been told more are planned. As we get details, we will let you know.

The GOP is postponing their annual dinner, but rest assured we are not postponing ours! Visit our website (www.cpnys.org) for your invitation if you have not received it in the mail.

Most of the news coverage is still on the covert operation that killed Osama and will continue to be for some time as we analyze and opine and consider our options in the ongoing war on terrorism.

About the property tax cap, Governor Cuomo, don't let it be an empty promise.

His constituents really deserve more, what a shame they keep returning him to office.

And we certainly deserve more respect from Attorney General Schneiderman.

Bad news for the American dollar.

Not good news on the private sector job market.

As we noted yesterday, the Senate has passed the property tax cap, the Governor campaigned on the issue and said "If they don't pass that, the disconnect between this Legislature and the people of the state would be breathtaking", so we ask again: why is the Assembly stalling? Keeping up the pressure, Senator Skelos calls on Governor to convince Speaker Silver to pass the cap.
