Rejoice! The Amazing Ozbama is slowly disintegrating into OOPS-Bama.

A couple of weeks ago, I wrote about the quietly growing, simmering buyers’ remorse - the realization that the President is anything but his promise, that his change is far more sweeping and radical than most Americans imagined. Ever so slowly but steadily, people are becoming disenchanted if not outright terrified or enraged. The latest to say “Oops!” is none other than Colin Powell.

On Monday, Janie Lorber reported on Vice President Dick Cheney's appearance on CBS's "Face the Nation," in which he said he preferred Rush Limbaugh's brand of Republicanismover that of Colin Powell's - "Cheney's Model Republican: More Limbaugh, Less Powell." But when did the Obama-endorsing Powell become a conservative (joining such stalwarts as Geraldo Rivera)?

To Bob Schieffer's astonishment, when he wrapped up his Sunday interview by asking former Vice President Dick Cheney where he comes down between Rush Limbaugh and Colin Powell who both say the Republican Party would be "better off" without the other, Cheney declared: "I'd go with Rush Limbaugh."

Higher Taxes Promote Eating the Rich

Is it possible to tax only the rich and leave everyone else alone?

I have met and talked with many politicians, mostly when they were out speaking for their suppers just as I was. I repeatedly spent backstage time with four former U.S. Presidents, policy wonks like Bill Bennett, military leaders like Gen. Colin Powell and even a couple flaming liberals including Mario Cuomo. Some smart, some not.
