Obama

SOTU in check

Sheila Liaugminas | 28 January 2010

That alone, the move by big media to fact-check the president’s State of the Union address, is almost as astonishing a reversal as was president Obama’s and the Democratic Congressional leadership’s since last Tuesday’s loss of Ted Kennedy’s seat in Massachusetts to a Republican, taking away their 60 seat majority.

One year later

Sheila Liaugminas | 19 January 2010

Because you don’t get a second chance to make a first impression, we now have one year of the Obama presidency by which to judge the accuracy of our impressions of the man and his promises.

This did not seem inevitable

Sheila Liaugminas | 21 December 2009

Is movement towards a third party inevitable?

It got him elected

Sheila Liaugminas | 21 December 2009

Regrettable if it turns out to be “a parody of leadership”.

‘People should be able to hold their government accountable’

Early media coverage of President Obama’s visit to China wondered how widely his remarks there would be allowed to be heard because of strict censorship by that government.

How can he make world peace…

Sheila Liaugminas | 13 October 2009

...when he can't come to terms with an American media outlet?

‘Lumped with Mandela and Walensa’?

Sheila Liaugminas | 10 October 2009

Yikes. Nobody saw this coming, this Nobel Peace Prize award conferred upon President Barack Obama.

Before he tries to regulate anything…

Sheila Liaugminas | 17 September 2009

Obama's regulatory czar needs to learn some facts of life.

What happened to post-racial politics?

Sheila Liaugminas | 16 September 2009

And post-partisan government? We’re more divided now than we’ve been in a long time.

The right question

Sheila Liaugminas | 11 September 2009

It was a bit overstated for the media to characterize conservative outrage over President Obama’s address to the nation’s schoolchildren as “foolish” or overblown.

Settle down and take a deep breath

Sheila Liaugminas | 09 September 2009

Republicans are hearing from constituents that they want to restart the process of reforming health care in America.
