Weekly Wrap-Up

Another week, another primetime press conference from President Obama. We’re hearing a lot of talk from our President – with the help of his trusty teleprompter, of course – but Fred Barnes explains just how meaningless all this talk really is...

Just how out-of-control, ideological and incompetent are the liberals in Washington? George Will, as usual, has a great perspective...

Mr. Will mentions the Democrats’ determination to impose government-run “universal” health care. Where will that take us? Make sure to read this article, which Shaun Marie also posted. It explains the situation in Massachusetts. It’s not a pretty picture...
