Weekly Wrap-Up

We saw lots of different people with lots of different problems this week.

Problems are on the horizon for Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats...

...but will Republicans be able to capitalize?

Plenty of problems for the Obama Administration – from plunging approval ratings and overall incompetence and failure to growing talk of a primary challenge from Hillary Clinton (which could put Hillary on the ticket as Vice-President in 2012, if Obama wants to keep his friends close and his enemies closer).

But as Charles Krauthammer notes, Republicans underestimate our 44th President at their own peril.

Big problems for taxpayers if President Obama and Nancy Pelosi erase the Bush tax cuts of 2001 and 2003.

And we’re looking at huge problems here in New York, with a fiscal disaster right around the corner and no serious reforms or solutions in sight.

Should New York try to be more like New Jersey?

And that’s just one state that elected a fiscally conservative governor and is now making progress in getting their fiscal house in order. Check out the latest from Virginia...

But here at home, Gov. Paterson plans to add to the problems facing New Yorkers – or at least, law-abiding New Yorkers.

What do you think about the Governor's agreeing to limit the "stop-and-frisk" system that has actually helped fight crime in New York? Give your views in our Weekly Poll.

And have a great (and hopefully problem-free) weekend!
