Anything Can Go Wrong In A Debate,

It's A Bit Unfair To Accuse Obama Of Dividing The Nation When The Facts Show That It Already Is.

You Can Almost See Voters Nodding Their Heads At Home: The Public's Faith In Politicians And Political Institutions Has Been On A Steep And Dangerous Decline For Decades, Because Elected Leaders Fail To Deliver.

By Nominating Chuck Hagel To Be His Defense Secretary, President Obama Is Putting Forward An Aloof Contrarian Who Doesn't Suffer Fools - A Striving Politician Who Considers Himself Above Politics.

It's An Appeal As Old As America And Its Presidency: This Is An Extraordinary Country Populated By Hard-working, Big-dreaming, Freedom-loving People Graced By God When They're Not Pulling Themselves Up By The Bootstraps.

Historians Will Likely Give Obama Credit For Steering The Country Away From The Brink Of Economic Collapse In 2009.
