Richard Grenell: Clinton Signals Her Frustration with Obama’s Weak Foreign Policies

It sounds as if Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has had sufficient. Her new strong tone on North Korea is a welcome, albeit overdue, budge. The Obama administration’s North Korea policy for the past 18 months has consisted of public relations ploys of pretending to get tough on the rogue state and a propensity [...]

Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan CEOs NOT Invited To Signing Of Financial Reform Bill

When President Obama signs legislation that’s being called the most sweeping set of reforms to hit the fiscal industry since the 1930s, some very prominent bankers will not be present.

Politico’s “Morning Money” reported yesterday that the Obama administration did not extend invitations to JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon and Goldman Sachs chief Lloyd Blankfein for [...]

Jake Diliberto: Elena Kagan’s Patriotism Trumps Peter Hegseth’s Sexist Nonsense.

As I have been watching the hearings for Elena Kagan, I am growing more frustrated by the day. At the outset of the nomination, several antagonists made obscene remarks against President Obama’s nomination. But, not a single comment has been as worrisome as Pete Hegseth’s.

I have watched Pete Hegseth hassle this woman, from [...]

Oliver Stone: Responding to Leopoldo López

Leopoldo López, a right-wing opposition leader in Venezuela who supported the military overthrow of the democratically elected government there in 2002, complains about my film (South of the Border), saying “Mr. Stone argues that the assault on human rights is of secondary concern.”

But my film argues the opposite. It’s just that the “assault on human [...]

Chris Weigant: More Biden, Please

The White House is, quite obviously, getting back into battle mode. This is a excellent thing for Democrats, because it means putting the last spadeful of dirt on the carcass of President Obama’s hopes of bipartisanship in Washington during his term of office. But while Obama has recently begun to make the case [...]

Larry Gellman: So Much Heat, So Little Light

Anyone who thinks Aspen is only an chic liberal closed society visibly hasn’t been here lately.

On the same day last week those who were looking for a right wing perspective on a broad range of issues had some tough choices to make.

They could either attend the Aspen Institute event featuring five A-list Republican governors [...]

Afghanistan: Vietnam Redux

The war in Afghanistan is nearly nine years ancient. Despite the Obama administration’s July 2011 target date for de-escalating, there seems no end in sight. It is already longer than the U.S. ground war in Vietnam from 1965 to 1973. To be sure, the circumstances are vastly different. Yet, there are numerous — and disturbing [...]

Georges Ugeux: The World Applauds the New Financial Regulation

The Senate approval of the Dodd-Frank Act on Thursday made world-wide headlines, and is being recognizable as an achievement for President Obama, on par with healthcare reform. Why is new legislation, fundamentally domestic in its scope and intention, so valuable to the rest of the world?

For the past three years, the fiscal markets have been [...]
