NIXON'S WEEK 41 GRADE: B - Jobs became the central theme of Gov. Nixon's agenda last week. First, the news that the Department of Natural Resources would trim 100 jobs from the parks division; then, a swing through community colleges to assess what they need to train tomorrow's workforce when companies begin hiring again.

... himself. Any one that accepts a Nobel Prize for doing nothing is quite able to con themselves, even Bill Clinton conned himself during the Impeachment Trial that he had nothing wrong, even Nixon had that flaw. Lets be honest folks, Obama is the New Nixon, just with TV skills. If your a Blue Dog Democrat you have to have this on your mind, 1994, the Clinton health care...

Up until then-candidate Barack Obama’s celebrated (in the media) speech on race in Philadelphia following the revelation of the racist rants of his longtime pastor Jeremiah Wright, I saw the Democrat as a political leader able to unite the nation. He has political gifts similar to those of the Gipper, a natural stage presence and a winning smile. But, not even a week in office, Obama showed...

... Create an Enemies List Tennessee Senator Lamar Alexander chastised Pres. Obama for his apparent Nixonian habit of having an enemies list (a list, which I'm proud to say, I was on , at least as of Jan 24th, not sure where I stand now, though I suspect LGF has dropped off the list).

The Oct. 7 Wall Street Journal reports that President Barack Obama is reading Gordon Goldstein’s “Lessons in Disaster: McGeorge Bundy and the Path to War in Vietnam,” a warning against heeding inevitable military requests for more troops. But however valuable Goldstein’s book might be, William Shawcross’ book “Sideshow: Nixon, Kissinger and the Destruction of Cambodia” is far more relevant and...

... the best road to 'peace and security' (aka neocons), would find nukes as the ultimate dose of preventative medicine from an enemy attack. Someone who is more of a "dove" - and believes in diplomacy and listening as the ideal strategy towards 'peace and security' would state that the presence of nuclear weapons only encourages other nations to develop their own stockpile.
