President Obama

Obama’s economic message

Sheila Liaugminas | 09 August 2011

Today, even the teleprompter didn’t help.

Dog days in Washington

Sheila Liaugminas | 02 July 2011

It’s family vacation elsewhere, but they’re feeling the heat in and around Washington.

Obama and jobs

Sheila Liaugminas | 15 June 2011

All the news stories seem to be about his.

What America is rejoicing

Sheila Liaugminas | 04 May 2011

Why did they start dancing in the streets in Washington and New York immediately after President Obama announced that Osama bin Laden had been killed in a raid on his compound in Pakistan? Why did young adults in many college towns across the country pour out into the streets to celebrate on Monday as the fever spread? Was this as jarring as it seemed?

Price goes up for ticket to White House

Sheila Liaugminas | 05 April 2011

President Obama’s sort ‘official’ kickoff for his next presidential campaign Monday highlighted the nature of politics today, as if we needed the reminder.

The slaughter unseen

Sheila Liaugminas | 30 March 2011

The global community is intervening in certain geopolitical hotspots where a humanitarian crisis looms. But there’s a place that’s hidden in plain sight where massacre is an everyday occurrence, and it goes unnoticed by the power elite.

Celebrating Reagan

Sheila Liaugminas | 07 February 2011

On the 100th anniversary of his birthday, President Ronald Reagan was honored with great affection by those who knew him and served with him. And admiration by the president who’s showing a great deal of new interest in him.

The president at prayer

Sheila Liaugminas | 04 February 2011

Was President Obama’s address at the National Prayer Breakfast candid, or calculated?

Obama’s Arizona memorial address

Sheila Liaugminas | 13 January 2011

He was expected to be the healer-in-chief. He needed to rise to the solemn occasion and transcend political divisions. I think he did it.

Untethered to logic and natural law

Sheila Liaugminas | 01 October 2010

"To say that safeguards for individual liberty do not have any intrinsic worth is to say that individual liberty does not have any intrinsic worth. To say that individual liberty does not have any intrinsic worth is to say that the individual human person does not have any intrinsic worth. This is to deny that we are endowed with rights by our Creator. To deny that is in effect to deny that there is a Creator. This is atheism and nihilism no less than moral relativism." Who said this?

Obama defends government

Sheila Liaugminas | 02 May 2010

That's more of a 'dog bites man' headline than anything approximating news, but it's the headline in this New York Times article on the president’s commencement address at the University of Michigan. What’s the news value of that?

How about ‘most qualified jurist’?

Sheila Liaugminas | 22 April 2010

President Obama is looking for the most choice candidate to fill the upcoming Supreme Court vacancy. That means many things to him, as reports show…

Apologizing for America again?

Sheila Liaugminas | 21 April 2010

President Obama’s comments are, of course, listened to carefully around the world. What he’s been saying doesn’t sound like commanders-in-chief who have gone before him. Slips of the tongue, or revealing ideology?

Obama ridicules the Tea Party

Sheila Liaugminas | 17 April 2010

The President of the United States, whose party controls both houses of Congress, who has enjoyed unqualified support and adoration from America’s elite media, who had the raw political power to drive an extremely unpopular healthcare plan into law, used one of his high profile fundraising occasions to take a cheap shot at the grassroots people’s movement known as the Tea Party. Really.

U.S. in transition and heading….where?

Sheila Liaugminas | 10 April 2010

The way things are going in Washington these days with greater government intervention in all areas of American life, some conservatives may now looking back more fondly on the Clinton years.

AP changes Easter story

Sheila Liaugminas | 07 April 2010

This is interesting. Normally, a major news outlet will update a news story by either writing a new and more current one, or adding an ‘Update:’ blurb at the bottom of the original online. The Associated Press just ran a piece over Easter weekend about President Obama using his Saturday radio address as an Easter address. Now they've revised the Easter story. But Jesus Christ still figures prominently in it.

Obama’s inclusive address

Sheila Liaugminas | 06 April 2010

President Obama issued an Easter address that aimed at the widest reach of the message of salvation at the heart of the Resurrection. Sort of…

The Stupak-Obama deal

Sheila Liaugminas | 25 March 2010

At the end of the day, it seemed vote-a-rama was the big political story. But then this came out… "Both sides in the abortion debate came to a rare agreement on Wednesday: The executive order on abortion signed by President Obama, they said, was basically meaningless."

Healthcare only a skirmish in something larger

Sheila Liaugminas | 24 March 2010

Seems like the prolonged and fractious battle over healthcare reform in America has been the political and social war of our times. Turns out, it may have been only one raging national conflict that preceded what’s to come. And, says Michael Goodwin in the New York Post, we’d best get ready for the sequel, and what follows that...

Surprise, surprise

Sheila Liaugminas | 22 March 2010

Bart Stupak caved, after all. His press conference was brief and sounded like it was hastily put together.
