That's right. In a four page report from ABC News titled, "Tens of Thousands Celebrate 20th Anniversary of Berlin Wall's Collapse ," Ronald Reagan is not even mentioned. Not once. And from what I have read, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton didn't mention President Reagan, and neither did President Obama in his taped message. I hope I end up being wrong about that, but I kind of doubt that...
The man’s ego knows no bounds : While watching the BBC’s live coverage of 20th anniversary events in Berlin, I found myself in that rare position of totally digging a Hillary Clinton speech, in which she gave good props to many of the most deserving actors in the toppling of communism…until she uncorked an excruciating segue: And now, she said, I have the pleasure to introduce a...
BERLIN (Reuters) - U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Monday urged Iran to accept a U.N.-drafted proposal to have uranium for a medical reactor enriched abroad.

BERLIN (Reuters) - U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said on Monday the United States believed Iran had no reason to detain three American hikers held there and that they should be released.
Today marks the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin wall. I can remember being a 10 year old watching bewildered, not sure what was going on, as people clambered onto the wall and chipped away at it with hammers. I remember there being a sense of euphoria about it all. Later in my life, as I began to explore the more modern aspects our nation’s history, I found President Regan’s...
I half-expected Sarah Palin to show up in Berlin -- maybe buy Hillary Clinton a coffee -- today. But she is on Facebook again: Ronald Reagan never stopped regarding the Berlin Wall as an affront to human freedom. When so many other American leaders and opinion makers had come to accept its presence as inevitable and permanent, Reagan still hammered away at the Wall’s very premise in human tyranny,...

J ust want to say a word about the passage of “national health care” -- maybe not a very welcome word. There comes a time, I think, when you have to point to the American electorate, who put those Democrats in place: in the House, in the Senate, and in the White House. Pelosi et al. did not shoot their way in; they didn’t stage any kind of coup. They were all elected, by good ol’...
Nightmare by digby If you need to get a good night's sleep tonight, don't read Seymour Hersh's latest because it will give you nightmares. Pakistan has been a nuclear power for two decades, and has an estimated eighty to a hundred warheads, scattered in facilities around the country. The success of the latest attacks raised an obvious question: Are the bombs safe? Asked this question the day after...
President Obama's Middle East policy is in ruins. While the US continues to press Israel for a settlement freeze (and a freeze on Jerusalem) his strategy is falling apart piece by piece. He has turned the Israeli populace against him and strengthened the hand of Prime Minister Netanyahu. At the same time he has eroded his own support among American Jews and other US friends of Israel. Which is why...
In the few hours between landing after a swing through Pakistan, the Middle East, and North Africa and taking off again for Berlin, Singapore, Japan, and the Philippines, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton found time on Friday to stop over in much friendlier territory: a subterranean banquet hall at Washington’s Reagan International Trade Center. There, she addressed the people who tried to...
From the post over at Political Betting by Peter the Punter we learn that the following are people to watch out for as candidates who could give Obama a run for his money at the next Presidential election in the USA. The list is as followed: Tim Pawlenty Mitt Romney Mike Pence Haley Barbour Jeb Bush Hillary Clinton Mitch Daniels A list of some interesting people, although I don't know any of the above...
