A Few Clouds on Obama’s Horizon: Nobody Knows the Trouble He’ll See
December 20, 2008
By Fred Barnes
Except for the distraction (or worse) caused by the Blagojevich scandal, President-elect Barack Obama has had a wonderful transition. His cabinet picks have been widely praised. His press conferences have been short, orderly, and mostly sweet. And the excitement over his inauguration as America's 44th president has been growing palpably. But there is trouble ahead.
Arabs’ hope for Obama dented by doubts
December 20, 2008
His middle name might be Hussein, and without a doubt he is viewed more favorably than his predecessor. But President-elect Barack Obama isn't going to find it easy to win over a skeptical Arab world that is already starting to doubt whether he really will represent much change.
Time: Obama ‘A Very Tolerant, Very Rational-Sounding Sort of Bigot’
December 19, 2008
By Mike Bates
Barack Obama is finding out that his honeymoon with the mainstream media may be considerably shorter than he had expected. Inviting Pastor Rick Warren to pray at his inauguration hasn't endeared him to a core constituency and now Time Magazine has joined in the bash fest. Its Web site carries the piece, "The Problem for Gays with Rick Warren — and Obama." Authored by John Cloud, the article begins by citing Warren's criticisms of homosexuality and then clobbers Obama for his association with him:
Barack Obama: No Closet Centrist
December 19, 2008
By Gary Bauer
Is Barack Obama a closet centrist? That’s the conclusion some political commentators are reaching as the president-elect forms his cabinet and makes some of the over 1,000 appointments necessary to populate the new administration. A different view is that, though a radical by instinct, Obama has developed a pragmatism that will compel him to govern cautiously a nation that yearns for stability in uncertain times.
The Left: This is Not the Obama We Knew
December 18, 2008
By Mary Katharine Ham
Since Obama announced that he has asked pastor Rick Warren to give the invocation at his inauguration, liberals have at long last, with a jolt, realized that Obama is a man who professes many stands on issues, but rarely stands up for any of them.

December 17, 2008
By Jonathan Weisman

Not Good News For Obama: The Blago Distraction
December 17, 2008
By Howard Fineman
Political pros know that the best time of the year in which to bury a scandal is Christmas week. People are busy. Reporters are on vacation. Almost no one is watching the news.
More ‘Change’: Clinton personal secretary, Betty Currie, now answers phones at Obama headquarters
December 16, 2008
By Peter Baker
It’s official. The old Clinton gang really is back together again. Answering the phones these days for the co-chairman of President-elect Barack Obama’s transition, John D. Podesta, is none other than Betty Currie.
Barack Obama’s ‘My Pet Goat’ moment
December 14, 2008
By Steve Chapman
"I was appalled and disappointed by what we heard in those transcripts," Barack Obama said Thursday about the documented misconduct of the governor of Illinois. That's right. He was appalled. And it took him only 48 hours to realize it.
Is Obama Awakening To The “Muslim World?”
December 14, 2008
By Austin Hill
Last week, Barack Obama made some extraordinary statements. And some of them were not made from behind “the Podium of the President-elect.”
Troubling Questions for Obama Team
December 12, 2008
By Linda Chavez
A corruption scandal in President-elect Obama's backyard is the last thing this country needs. But like it or not, that's exactly what we have in the unfolding drama of Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich's arrest earlier this week for trying to sell Barack Obama's Senate seat. The federal prosecutor in the case — Patrick Fitzgerald, the man whose investigation of the Valerie Plame leak case nearly paralyzed the Bush White House for a time — has made it clear that nothing ties Obama directly to the Blagojevich scheme. But the timing of Fitzgerald's announcement raises some serious questions.
