David Rosenberg writes in today’s Breakfast With Dave that Obama was channeling Herbert Hoover during the State of the Union! A long-standing colleague and reader sent this off to me yesterday and it blew me away. Read on: Obama’s State of the Union: “Two years after the worst recession most of us have ever known, the […]
Here’s a great look at the upcoming midterm election by geopolitical expert George Friedman at Stratfor. It’s an excellent service that takes a look at geopolitical situations around the globe, and breaks down the likely actions of various parties. George does their best stuff, in my opinion, and I was glad that they allowed us […]
