    Progress.  And fantastic news.  However there is still work to be done on the missile defense shield issue as that has, not surprisingly, created tensions and problems.  That only increased when it was announced Romania would host part of the system. In the end there will be some limits on the system, [...]

    Bret Baier’s interview with President Obumbler…

    Now you see why I call him Obumbler. The President could not answer any of the questions he was asked. Obama showed his lack of knowledge of a bill he calls ‘HIS’ and was reduced to using talking points to circumvent [...]
