Andrew C. McCarthy on the constitutional crisis and the security crisis as Federal judges interfere in the ability of the Executive and Legislative branches to defend the country against our terrorist enemies. I suspect, after a few more near misses, and especially after a hit, the American voting electorate will be reminded that the Republicans are the guys who should be in charge when it comes to fighting our enemies. High unemployment will kill the Democratic majority in Congress in November, but it is the national security situation which will doom Obama in 2012.

Some good stuff in The New York Post today....Ralph Peters says we are letting the terrorists out think us, primarily because they want to win, and we're not sure what we want to do. Benny Avni says Obama continues to blunder when it comes to dealing with the tyrants who rule Iran. Finally, could 2010 really be the last year of the Obama Administration?

Paul Krugman continues to bang the drum for more Federal stimulus money to revive the economy, this time evoking the memory of 1937. If he is right, and we do see a second plunge in the economy later this year, it will only mean more losses for the Democrats, and less likelihood that any of Krugman's ideas will ever be implemented. He probably knows this, which must drive him to distraction.

More evidence that the political situation for the Democrats continues to grow more difficult as we enter 2010.
