The left wing of America has little sympathy for President George W. Bush and the extraordinary nature of the challenges he faced.

The Democratic Party is sitting pretty.

Hillary played Obama like a fiddle. She insinuated herself into talks, and then apparently had her people leak the news of her appointment before Obama gave it the presidential thumbs-up. That left the president-elect with two unattractive options: He could cancel the appointment and risk offending Hillary’s 18 million cheerleaders, or he could go through with it.

Let’s be clear: There is such a thing as good socialism. The $700 billion bailout plan that was unveiled last month is one such case.

President-elect Obama faces a difficult balancing act when it comes to keeping the country safe and trying to improve America’s image in the world.

I don’t think I shall ever understand how we got here.

Wall Street is ablaze with what has been called “the biggest financial crisis since the Great Depression,” and a president with socialist tendencies is threatening to feed it a poison pill.
