It’s time to pick another Obamateurism of the Week, and believe me, this is no time to just disappear onto the links, even with your bestest buddy who can’t keep his governors straight. Be sure not to open your Perrier out there on the course, lest you become one of the “polluters” letting CO2 into our air where it doesn’t belong. Some of you may want to spend a nice Sunday...

By Abe Greenwald Barack Obama has been relying on the imprecise rhetoric of the professional campaigner for an astoundingly long time. And his inaugural speech showed no evidence that he’s willing to abandon this habit. He has, of course, been allowed to lean on poetic generalities for two years by an adoring press corps. But Americans of every political persuasion are bursting to know what he... 

By Janice Shaw Crouse One after another, we are learning the names of the future Obama Administration. Behold, they are not new faces, nor are they the change agents that Obama's campaign rhetoric promised. Instead, we are seeing Clinton retreads and a surprising move toward the political center.

By Michael Tanner  Barack Obama is now the clear front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination. He's risen high on his inspiring persona and uplifting rhetoric. At a time of prolonged war and economic uncertainty, he appeals to Americans' hope for something better than the bitter partisan infighting that has paralyzed Washington.
