By Patrick Goodenough The four Democratic U.S. senators probing the early release of the Libyan convicted in the Lockerbie bombing believe there were links to a BP oil deal, but their inquiry may have the unintended consequence of raising questions about just how strongly the Obama administration opposed the Libyan’s release. Abdel Baset Ali Mohmed al-Megrahi was the only person convicted of... 

By Matt Molnar On a day when many Americans will be reflecting upon how they can reduce their impact on the environment, President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden will board separate jets in Washington on Earth Day morning to fly 250 miles up the east coast to New York, where they will land at separate airports to attend separate events within a few miles of each other. The parallel visits... 

By David Hogberg There are currently 60 to 65 physician-owned hospitals under construction. Those that aren’t finished and don’t have a Medicare provider number by Aug. 1 (Dec. 31 if the reconciliation bill passes) will probably never open their doors. Without a provider number, such hospitals can’t treat Medicare patients, which are usually essential to financial survival. The feud... 

The Obama administration’s program to help struggling homeowners avoid foreclosure has posted “disappointing results” in part because its definition of success is “essentially meaningless,” a watchdog said today in a new report obtained by ABC News. In his audit on the administration’s $75 billion Home Affordable Modification Program (HAMP), bailout watchdog Neil... 

By Jerome R. Corsi Official documents catch Barack Obama in another apparent misrepresentation of his life story, this time challenging a claim made during his campaign that his father was part of a JFK-era airlift to bring Kenyan students to the U.S. to study in American universities. WND research indicates Barack Obama Sr. was not brought to Hawaii in 1959 by any airlift of Kenyan students organized... 

By Charles Hurt The Republican knockout victory here last night should be a Code Brown alert for President Obama. It was a political earthquake of equal magnitude to the temblor that crushed Haiti. Amid the aftershocks and bewilderment, however, it appears that Obama — Mr. Hope and Change who was inaugurated one year ago today — may not fully grasp just how personally responsible he is... 

Over 4.1 million Americans have lost their jobs during Obama’s first year in office. The unemployment rate is over 10 percent or 17.3 percent if those who have given up on finding a job are counted.  Are Obama and the Democrats tax and spend programs actually killing job opportunities in America? In spite of Obama’s “creative accounting”, the truth is not lost on millions... 

President Barack Obama will ask Congress for an additional $33 billion to fight wars in Afghanistan and Iraq on top of a record $708 billion for the Defense Department next year, The Associated Press has learned — a request that could be an especially hard sell to some of the administration’s Democratic allies. The extra $33 billion in 2010 would mostly go toward the expansion of the war... 

Despite terrorist attacks against the United States recurring with the Fort Hood shooting and the December underwear bomber, President Obama has tasked the Central Intelligence Agency with investigating global warming. Obama has resurrected a program formerly cancelled by President Bush that shares information from the CIA’s spy satellites and other classified sensors with environmental scientists.... 

Ten months into President Barack Obama’s first economic stimulus plan, a surge in spending on roads and bridges has had no effect on local unemployment and only barely helped the beleaguered construction industry, an Associated Press analysis has found. Spend a lot or spend nothing at all, it didn’t matter, the AP analysis showed: Local unemployment rates rose and fell regardless of how... 

By Maureen Dowd Our president came down from the mountaintop. He had applied the freshness of his independent thought to the critical matters at hand. He had convened his seminar, reviewed the reviews, analyzed the intelligence every which way, thought anew about everything, and lo and behold, he finally emerged to tell us some stuff we already knew.
