President Obama has decided to shelve plans for a missile defense shield for our Eastern European allies. Nile Gardiner believes the decision is a big mistake. But the Secretary General of NATO believes it is a 'positive step'. I feel confident that this move will continue to build the belief among our enemies that Obama is weak.

Senator Max Baucus has introduced a health reform plan, and was immediately ripped by fellow Democrat Jay Rockefeller, who charged the bill would raise taxes on the Middle Class. Rockefeller was not alone, as the Baucus plan was greeted with attacks from all sides. I am growing more confident that my original prediction of no health bill was the correct one.
