It’s deja vu as we... Full story »

President Obama is great. Not only great, he's the greatest president of all time. Not only that, he's the world's bravest leader ever. No, he's the greatest person ever. Every single bank and hotel should be named after Obama. Our money should have only one face --- Barack Obama. Mr. Obama should be the only face on Mount Rushmore. Obama... Full story »

As a concerned activist, I worry about the lives that have been disrupted by decades of violence. What happens in Sudan matters here in Pennsylvania because the effects of mass violence have far-reaching repercussions that are felt for generations. So, I’d like our congressional representatives and senators to urge the Obama administration to keep focusing on Sudan. EDNA KUMLER,... Full story »

I'm getting sick of the outrage on the left about the deal on tax cuts and unemployment that President Obama brokered. There is a dirty little secret about Obama that is neither dirty nor a secret. We moderates voted for Obama because he said he'd work to get past ideology and partisanship. The right accused him of being a socialist... Full story »

What I witnessed in a recent White House news conference should make everybody shutter in fear for their country. When a president is not willing and equipped (TelePrompTer) to deal with issues and hard questions and must bring in a previous president to do his bidding and salesmanship, the public should be concerned. Of course, this president has never... Full story »

One of boxing's most enduring classics was the epic battle waged by Sugar Ray Leonard and Thomas "Hit Man" Hearns. Between rounds in this championship welterweight fight, legendary corner man Angelo Dundee said to a beaten down and swollen-eyed Leonard "You're blowin' it, kid." A boxing analogy and metaphor is entirely appropriate when discussing Obama's latest dustup with his base... Full story »

After the ridiculous theater displayed by Congress, President Obama has caved in. He was eloquent and conciliatory in announcing a bipartisan deal has been reached to extend the Bush tax cuts for another two years in “exchange” for extending the unemployment insurance for 13 months. Obama lost the chance to stand firm without compromising his dignity. Nothing can justify... Full story »

Individuals with intellectual disabilities strive for human rights and equality in 2010. In October, the Obama administration signed a bill to replace the hurtful words “mental retardation” with “individuals with intellectual disability.” They are individuals first.

Try as I might, I could not bring myself to vote for U.S. Senate candidates Joe Sestak or Pat Toomey or candidates Tom Corbett or Dan Onorato for governor. I just couldn’t punch the computer screen on anyone’s behalf. Negative campaigns are the reason, of course. Even though Sestak did Pennsylvanians a favor by ridding us of Arlen Specter,... Full story »

During the 10 days leading up to the Thanksgiving holiday, President Obama’s TSA was telling us the airport pat downs were not as embarrassing nor as intrusive as we had been led to believe.

Thanks for printing Harold Piety's excellent letter ("Did American people really repudiate Obama?") in The Patriot-News (Nov. 21). I would add that when an elected leader of this country states that the broken system which is the U.S. health care system is "the finest in the world" he's not to be taken seriously. When you live in a democracy and... Full story »

How is the first civilian trial for terrorists working out for the president? Thanks to his decision, Islamic terrorist Ahmed Ghailani was cleared of all charges, but one, in the 1998 bombings of our two African embassies that resulted in the death of more than 200 innocent people, 12 of whom were Americans. Running this country hasn't quite turned out... Full story »

There were many stories of President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama meeting with, talking with and dancing with children and students in India. I did not see their daughters, Malia and Sasha, in any of the photos that were published. I guess they were the ones who were meeting with the heads of state and industry leaders... Full story »
