The 2 Cent Budget Fix By: Michael Medved The president could break the logjam in Washington and move toward a solution of all budgetary problems if he merely asked every American to contribute 2 cents. No, this isn’t some far-fetched science-fiction scheme, like beating the debt ceiling by minting two platinum coins valued at a trillion dollars each. It’s a practical, patriotic, down-to-earth solution that might enable Barack Obama to assemble a bipartisan coalition, finally transcending the petty bickering he pledged to end when he first campaigned for president five years ago. Obama Goes from “Post-Partisan” to “Most Partisan” President By: 60 Plus Association Jim Martin, “The President says we are ‘one America’ by which he seems to think we are one political party. Nowhere in his inaugural address was there talk of consensus or solving America’s problems outside of his strict liberal orthodoxy.” 60 Plus Association Chairman and Founder Jim Martin, leader of the nation’s acknowledged national conservative alternative to the liberal AARP, with over 7.2 million senior supporters, today made the following comments regarding President Obama’s 2nd inaugural address: Bill Bennett Bill spoke with Laura Hollis about the strategy for the GOP going forward. Mike Gallagher Mike Scinto sits in for Mike discussing the President's inauguration and guns in schools to protect children. Dennis Prager Dennis talks to the author of Bullies: How the Left’s Culture of Fear and Intimidation Silences Americans.

The Daily Beast Angry Gun-Control Debate Does Damage to Both the Right and the Left By: Michael Medved The Great Gun Debate shows American political discourse at its irrational worst, with both left and right promoting panic and hysteria that distracts attention from the nation’s truly menacing problems. Instead of addressing crushing deficits, economic stagnation, political gridlock, and the erosion of middle-class security, politicians and pundits obsess over gun violence—one of the few challenges where the United States has made dramatic progress in recent years. The Daily Beast A Very Different President By: Paul Begala Back in November more than 60 million Americans thought they were voting to reelect the man who has served as our president for the past four years. Little did we know that a very different man would place his hand on the Bibles of President Lincoln and Dr. King. President Obama’s second inaugural address marked an important departure from the tone and tenor of his first term. His speech was philosophical rather than political. He confidently took his part in a debate that stretches back centuries. USA Today House passes short-term debt-limit extension By: Susan Davis The U.S. House approved a bill 285-144 to extend the nation's $16.4 debt ceiling through May 18 in order to avert a U.S. default on its legal obligations and buy Washington more time to negotiate budget priorities. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., announced Wednesday the Senate would pass the bill soon, and the White House said Tuesday that President Obama would sign it when it reaches his desk. The debt ceiling does not authorize new spending, but rather pays for debts already accrued by the U.S. government.
