From the August 29, 2010 CSI Walworth County Sunday "The Way we see it" column:
When senior Obama administration officials concluded in June that a federal moratorium on deepwater oil drilling in the Gulf of Mexico would eliminate 23,000 jobs — as news reports now indicate — and then recommended it anyway, they opened another window into the icy soul of a preening presidency.
It is telling that President Obama quickly signed off on a job-killing drilling ban at a time when millions of private-sector families are experiencing daily hardships related to joblessness, under-employment and pay cuts. The president blames his predecessor for all that ails the economy, but in this case, Barack Obama is the one who presumably deliberated, and then made 23,000 jobs disappear.

As Brett Favre once again retires from retirement — or so it seemed this past week at least — and young players once again collide on crowded local practice fields, we are reminded that another exciting football season is about to get under way.
Happy days!

We read with amusement last week that the federal government’s top environmental cop, EPA Administrator Lisa P. Jackson, actually traveled to Milwaukee to talk to local officials about their “innovative water policies.”
It’s certainly possible this was a useful trip for everyone involved. Then again, it’s also possible Michelle Obama has useful advice on planning a budget-conscious “stay-cation.”

This week’s gold medal for political gall goes to a repeat winner — the commander-in-chief himself, who continues to be deeply impressed by his ability to spearhead the Big Win in Iraq.
Sounding a bit like his warmongering predecessor — although we’re sure that Mr. Bush knows the “p” in “corpsman” is silent — President Obama declared mission accomplished in Iraq Monday in a speech at the Disabled American Veterans national convention in Atlanta.

From the August 1, 2010 CSI Walworth County Sunday "The Way we see it" column:
Once the darling of everyone, this administration now seems to be at odds with everyone, fussing, feuding and defending itself. Not since Carter have we had a White House so divorced from public opinion.
You expect the opposition to disagree with a president who has moved the country farther to the left than any chief executive since FDR. And indeed, the changes have been epic, whether it’s the nationalization of health care, the $700 billion in bailouts, the $862 billion in failed stimulus, the takeover of the car industry or attempts to control Wall Street.
