Sarah Palin is my Person of the Year for 2010

My person of the year 2011 is Sarah Palin.

No one has played the media at their own game and defeated them as handily as the former Governor of Alaska.

She has created an alternative universe, one where she controls her own media through appearances on Fox News and her Discovery special.

Obama setting scene for re-election by moving to the center

Say what you like about Barack Obama, but never underestimate him.

Just when the pundits were writing him off after the mid term debacle, he comes back with a fourth and long touchdown and passes major legislation.

Barack Obama is no Bill Clinton despite Clinton's support

The sight of Bill Clinton propping up Barack Obama in his hour of need ,as he did at their joint White House conference, is a striking one.

Clinton is clearly gambling that Obama's latest move to do a deal with Republicans will pay of in the long run, as his decision to work with Republicans paid off with his second term.

But what ultimately delivered for Clinton was the over-reaching of his opponents, specifically Newt Gingrich who decided he could shut down the government and get away with it.

Is Sarah Palin anti-Catholic after attacks on JFK, Nancy Pelosi's religious beliefs?

Is Sarah Palin anti-Catholic?

That might be a real reading of her comments lately on John F.Kennedy when she slams him for making clear the line between his faith and his political beliefs during the 1960 campaign.

She has also questioned House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's faith in comments she made in her new book "America By Heart'
