President Barack Obama’s leadership has been disastrous
It’s been a gradual process,
but we welcome former New
York Times columnist Leslie Gelb to the realization that President
Barack Obama’s leadership has been disastrous for this country. Last October
Gelb wrote, “While Obama inherited rather than
caused many of the world’s current crises, his habitual complacency and
passivity prevent him from mitigating or resolving them.”

‘Islam(ic)’ and ‘terrorism’
With all the publicity in
world-wide publications reporting on Islamic terrorism, the Obama
Administration, and its leader, Barack H. Obama in particular, just can’t
associate a connection between the two words, ‘Islam(ic)’ and
‘terrorism’. In their small world of personal intelligence and actual
brains, Islam is known only as a “peaceful religion”.

Southington Environmental Problems Continue!
FRANKSMITHSAYSNB
EDITORIAL:
Recent news
account citing the EPA ( Environmental Protection Agency) continue to oversee
removal of contaminants from its landfills.
The EPA has designated as Superfund Sites citing that the landfills have
been contaminated 25 five years ago.
Amazingly, it will take another 120 years before the town’s own wells
before they can be reopened.
Giving
reason for the city of New Britain to negotiate a reasonable contract for the
use of our Patton Brook well for the next 120 years since we still own it.
SLAMIST THREAT OVERSHADOWS OBAMA’S DOMESTIC SALES PITCH
Just as President Obama is hitting the campaign trail to sell
a reboot of his domestic policies ahead of next week’s State of the Union
Address, the threat from Islamist militants is again crowding out his messages.
Starting eight days ago with the deadly attack in Paris, the president has
struggled to gain traction for his calls for more spending, higher taxes and
new regulations. The Obama media strategy, on which its authors have been
congratulating themselves at length in the political press, is to roll out the
speech day after day to targeted geographic and demographic groups. This is not
unlike what we saw last year when Islamists in Iraq and Syria destroyed the
Democratic Midterm communications strategy and focused national attention on
concerns over the president’s foreign policy. The president’s campaign to avoid
lame duck status looks similarly imperiled.
"free” community college!
If you think college tuition is
expensive now, wait until it is free. Two years of “free” community college
sounds wonderful, even though some students who just graduated felt cheated
that they did not get it “free” and, in the name of fairness and justice,
retroactive reimbursement was immediately demanded.
