My personal musings about anything that gets on my radar screen--heavily dominated by politics.

Which Obama Campaign Lie Will Be Exposed First? 

Once upon a time, I thought this might be a challenging question. But, scarcely 8 days after winning the election, he's already got three policy decisions vying for the answer.

:Stem Cell Research Even though there is now voluminous evidence that other technologies can accomplish the same as embryonic stem cells, Barack Obama "The Uniter" is planning on starting out his tenure by ordering federal funding of embryonic stem cell research, thus alienating a good 30% of the population

:Dealing With Terrorists "Only after they renounce terrorism", right? Or not.

In an interview published Tuesday in the London-based Al-Hayat, Dr. Ahmad Yousef, political adviser to Hamas Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh, said senior Hamas figures had held a secret meeting with advisers to Barack Obama in Gaza before the U.S. elections.

I'm having a hard time deciding what's more offensive--the arrogance of holding this meeting before the election, the outrage of having the meeting altogether, or the willing complicity of the "professional journalist" class in not bothering Obama with questions about this.

:There's Only One President See above.

I think it's safe to say that this is only the first of many posts on this general theme.
