I’m disappointed that Obama has done so little to try to fix the American deficit and debt.
Has his Presidency been “marked by cool calculation and risk-aversion” … Or has he been gutless?
You could argue it both ways.
I was the first person I knew to suggest that the relatively unknown, inexperienced Barack Obama could be President. (The internet loved him.)
AND the first of his boosters I knew to declare he couldn’t possibly win reelection.
But who’s going to beat him?

Still, KFC’s new creation might surprise you a little on the nutritional front. At 540 calories, the Double Down, though not exactly a dieting food, is 90 calories lighter than McDonald’s Premium Crispy Chicken Club Sandwich. …
