NRO: Obama Was Born in the USA

The editors at NRO have posted an editorial that seeks to lay to rest any speculation that President Obama was born abroad and is therefore ineligible to be president. Here’s the beginning of their editorial, which I hope sees wide circulation:

Assimilation is a key mission of the Democracy Project, and whenever I hear stories like the one I’m about to post, I’m always reminded of how important the melting pot really is.

The Wall Street Journal has an excellent news round-up of the Honduran presidency Manuel Zelaya. The piece documents exactly why the Congress and military sent him packing: because of his systematic refusal to abide by the rule of law. As the WSJ reports:

Over at Campus Watch, I’ve posted on an ongoing verbal battle between two radical members of the Middle East studies set.

Watching this [...]

Major League Soccer’s David Beckham should go back to Europe where he can act like an infantile jerk. Last Sunday night the mega-star egged on fans of his home team the L.A. Galaxy who were rightfully protesting his coming home from being “on loan” from AC Milan. In remarks last week, Beckham made plain that [...]

To pay for his nationalized healthcare plan, President Obama plans to impose a 5.4 percent on incomes of more than $1 million. According to the Economist, the President is going to have fewer folks to tax:
