ATLANTA— The General Motors initial public offering was completed yesterday to much fanfare, with GM raising $15.8 billion, the second highest IPO in history (second only to VISA in 2008). Barack Obama called the IPO part of GM’s success story and declared: “we are finally beginning to see some of these tough decisions that we [...]

ATLANTA— I really couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome of last week’s elections, but I view 2011 with some trepidation as well. Republicans were restored to power, not because they fully convinced voters to reembrace them and their policies, but because the Democrats moved so far to the left, Republicans looked moderately acceptable by [...]

ATLANTA – Over the past few days, I’ve been wondering, was the 2006 – 2010 dominance of the Democratic Party just a blip on a longer-term trend of Republican electoral dominance?

ATLANTA – We are now five days removed from the worst Democratic rout in congressional elections since the late 1940′s and the “progressive” wing of the Democratic Party continues to refute the notion that their policy choices over the previous two years caused their massive election-day losses. Even though moderate members of their Party have been screaming this [...]

Are these people sane? ATLANTA— Jon Stewart is holding a rally on the National Mall on October 30, 2010 to “restore sanity” to American politics. It is a snide, dismissive retort to the Tea Party rallies held there in previous weeks and a general snub at the anger voiced by mainstream, conservative Americans over the past two years.

Post-Partisan Obama Says Republican Victory Will Result in “Hand-to-Hand Combat”
Posted in Current Events, Domestic Affairs, Economy, Health Care Reform, Politics, tagged Barack Obama, Democrats, Health Care, MidTerms, Post-partisan, Republicans, US economy on October 8, 2010 | 1 Comment »
In this country, we rise or fall as one nation, as one people. Let’s resist the temptation to fall back on the same partisanship and pettiness and immaturity that has poisoned our politics for so long. Let’s remember that it was a man from this state who first carried the banner of the Republican Party [...]

ATLANTA – We’ve blogged before about some of the failed policy initiatives that Japan undertook during the 1990′s, in response to the collapse of their real estate and financial markets in the early part of that decade.
