Yes, they sure do.

Amazing << Hear this. Feel this, and tell me that this isn't music.

Oh, dear...

"really capable, dedicated, smart, sharp people with an agenda that they intend to pursue aggressively."

The only part of the above that has been been true is the following:

"with an agenda that they intend to pursue aggressively."

Judd Gregg is becoming one of my favorite senators.

Very good article. Elections have consequences and your decisions have had consequences Judd Gregg. Adios.

[staytrue]

An excellent article. I agree.

"I should have been smart enough to see the daylight before I walked in the door. . . . I don't think there's any big lesson here for anybody but myself, which is the obvious: It would have been impossible for me to be with the president 100% of the time, which is what a cabinet secretary has to be." ...From health care to global warming, financial regulation, spending and tax policy, Mr. Gregg doesn't pull any punches in his criticism of the new president. He may be "a charismatic person" with "a very strong understanding of who he is and what he wants to do," but when it comes to the substance of what Mr. Obama seeks to accomplish, Mr. Gregg is less charitable. "They have a goal," the senator says, "and he's very open about it. They are going to grow this government."

Nice article. The last line was a little ominous, even though true.

But if the president and his majorities in Congress get their way, voters will, Mr. Gregg believes, be ready for an alternative. "And we're the only show in town."

"We're headed on an unsustainable path. The simple fact is these [budget] numbers don't work and the practical implications of them are staggering for the nation and the next generation."

Bump for good budget analysis.

This *is* a good article, and worth reading in its entirety. Judd sounds like he has seen the handwriting on the wall. Why exactly is he not running next time? Article doesn’t say. Is he thinking about a bigger office, perhaps? I don’t know anything about Judd ... is he charismatic? I’m thinking that if he had presidential aspirations, it would look pretty good (from a GOP point of view) to be the guy who was invited on board the Obama Express, and told them “Thanks but no thanks!”

This is indeed a "good article". But like most good articles of today, way too much slack is cut for a president whose aim is to "rule" not to lead. Obama is moving as fast as he can like Hugo Chavez, to gleam all the power he can get….” They have a goal," the senator says, "and he's very open about it. They are going to grow this government." What Gregg doesn’t say is that the private sector….doctors, lawyers, mechanics, farmers, small business owners etc. will cease to exist in a few years….government/dictatorship will ensue. Obama didn’t like the American form of Democracy so he and George Soros are changing it to a Socialistic/communistic form of government. Mr. Soros finally bought himself an acting American President and cabinet.
