WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama has declined to answer a question about the hostage situation off the coast of Somalia. The president was asked about the incident as he met with U.S. homeowners about refinancing mortgages. At the close of a Roosevelt Room event, the president was asked by a reporter if he were concerned about the piracy incident. Obama responded: "Guys, we're talking about housing right now." Reporters were then ushered out of the room as they usually are after such events. Obama has yet to comment publicly on the incident.

I can’t stand to hear someone say a candidate is “too conservative” and therefore unelectable.

I believe this is why we got stuck with guys like McCain.

Closing our primaries wouldn’t hurt.

Funny, the "carry a big stick" phrase went through my mind.

We've gone awry because we have no strong leaders. We have no one in either party who has the huevos to stand up to these foreign terrorist punks and show them who they're messing with. Every politician is so afraid of losing votes, they've lost their nerve.

I not only miss Ronnie, I miss Barry, Teddy, Patrick (Henry), George (Washington), and Robert (E. Lee).
