Obama's failed approach to rein in Iran's nuclear ambitions

With the specter of the November 24 deadline looming on the horizon, a tough and determined position toward Iran is essential in saving the day. But President Barack Obama seems to be poised on repeating his previous mistakes in dealing with the Iranian regime. That is what his latest letter to the Iranian regime's supreme leader Ali Khamenei indicates, in which he made cooperation with Iran against ISIS on achieving a nuclear deal. The missive--which happened to be the fourth of its kind--was riddled with misconceptions, and proves that despite his failed attempts, Obama is still adamant that he can tackle one of the most vicious regimes through rapprochement.

Al Sharpton: My Tax problems are because of racism! ...And Trayvon! ...And Ferguson!

It will come as little surprise that Al Sharpton is the victim of racism. Given that his entire life's work involves race-baiting, ginned-up controversy, and portraying everyone as either the perpetrator or victim of some sort of race-based malevolence, it was probably just his turn.

Let's get this right: The scandal is not about Gruber

I'm noticing as this whole Jonathan Gruber business unfolds that Republicans are showing a troubling instinct, and if they're not careful they're going to mis-navigate this thing in a such a way that they just might let congressional Democrats and the Obama Administration off the hook.
