    Remember earlier this year when the new era of hope and change was ushered into Washington, D.C. and President Barack Obama made the statement on day one his policies would “represent a clean break from business as usual"? Not so fast says Charles Krauthammer, columnist for The Washington Post and Fox News regular. Krauthammer on the Nov. 20 broadcast of Fox News “Special Report with Bret Baier” explained that a certain provision put into to the Senate version of health care legislation to favor undecided Democratic senators, specifically Sen.

    WASHINGTON -- For late-19th-century anarchists, terrorism was the "propaganda of the deed." And the most successful propaganda-by-deed in history was 9/11 -- not just the most destructive, but the most spectacular and telegenic. And now its self-proclaimed architect, Khalid Sheik Mohammed, has been given by the Obama administration a civilian trial in New York. Just as the memory fades, 9/11 has been granted a second life -- and KSM, a second act: "9/11, The Director's Cut," narration by KSM. September 11, 2001 had to speak for itself. A decade later, the deed will be given voice. KSM has gratuitously been...

    Here is video of syndicated columnist Charles Krauthammer hammering Barack Obama for his "narcissism" in calling himself the "First Pacific President" in a speech he gave in Japan recently. Krauthammer points out there have been other Presidents with strong connection to the Pacific: Teddy Roosevelt, William Howard Taft - Governor of the Philippines, John F. Kennedy - injured during World War II in the Pacific, George H.W. Bush - shot down in the Pacific. Krauthammer said but, "In Obama's mind, that in no way matches the experience of the baby Jesus - I mean the baby Obama in growing up...

    Here is video of Fox News' Charles Krauthammer yesterday saying the civilian trials of the 9/11 conspirators in New York will be "the second half of the terror attack." He was reacting to the decision by the Obama Administration to bring five 9/11 conspirators to New York and give them civilian trials. Krauthammer said the first half was the 9/11 attack where they "attacked and killed," and the second half will be the trial where they will appear at the "scene of the crime" with the "biggest forum in the world" to "explain and proclaim the ideology behind it.

    Here we go again the insistent blaming of the former president. President Barry Hussein Soetoro just can’t help himself.

President Soetoro undoubtedly is a sufferer of Bush derangement syndrome. Charles Krauthammer takes president Soetoro to task for his puerile need to finger point at the Bush administration.

    Krauthammer is blunt in his comments as well as Vicevich about Afghanistan war. The subject is Afghanistan … but not the young President’s strategy. Krauthammer makes it very clear in his comments the President has every right to change his strategy … even pick a strategy. No, what Krauthammer calls childlike is Obama’s penchant for blaming everyone for his failures. To paraphrase Allahpundit at HotAir … hey, you ran on this war “chump”, you picked the strategy, this is your war to win or lose. Stop blaming your big brother.

However, Washington Post columnist Charles Krauthammer identified the vigor with which the Obama administration has attacked Fox. He explained on Fox News Oct. 20 broadcast of "Special Report with Bret Baier" it's different than just fighting back, but an effort to destroy the cable news channel.

The alleged quotes were used by CNN and others to sandbag Limbaugh's attempt to be part of a group to buy the St. Louis Rams, and to make him look like a racist. Krauthammer said Sanchez should have admitted that what there was "not a shred of evidence" for what they reported, and that it actually was a "libel" and a "lie." . . . (VIDEO)

    Rather a world in disorder. I hate to give you all such a big homework assigment on the weekend but, please take thee time to read at least this post. Powerlineblog first brought this to may attention. Charles Krauthammer is often featured on this blog. He is insightful, his message clear, easy to grasp, always provocative, sometimes frighteningly so. This is just such a case. First Krauthammer on Obama’s dismissal of “American Exceptionalism”. In a nutshell, if the young President had his way, and he’s trying very hard, even the idea of American exceptionalism will be flushed down the memory...

    October 9, 2009 Young Hamlet’s Agony Will he listen to Emanuel and Biden or Petraeus and McChrystal? Charles Krauthammer. The genius of democracy is the rotation of power, which forces the opposition to be serious — particularly about things like war, about which until January 20 of this year Democrats were decidedly unserious. When the Iraq War (which a majority of Senate Democrats voted for) ran into trouble and casualties began to mount, Democrats followed the shifting winds of public opinion and turned decidedly anti-war. But needing political cover because of their post-Vietnam reputation for weakness on national defense, they...

    Here is a video clip from a speech delivered by outstanding Conservative Charles Krauthammer in which he blasts President Obama for making the choice to reject "American Exceptionalism" in speeches he has made around the world and at the United Nations. Krauthammer said Obama actually said he believes in American Exceptionalism the same way he is sure the British believe in British Exceptionalism, and the Greeks believe in Greek Exceptionalism. In other words, he does not believe there is anything special or exceptional about the American way of life, our Constitution, or our history. Krauthammer essentially says Obama had chosen...

    The genius of democracy is the rotation of power, which forces the opposition to be serious -- particularly about things like war, about which until Jan. 20 of this year Democrats were decidedly unserious.--snip--Less than two months ago -- Aug. 17 in front of an audience of veterans -- the president declared Afghanistan to be "a war of necessity." Does anything he says remain operative beyond the fading of the audience applause?

    Krauthammer's Take [NRO Staff] From last night's Fox News All-Stars. On the strategy in Afghanistan: It isn't as if Afghanistan sprung up on [Obama] a week ago. It has been around for eight years. He has been running for president for two years on a promise to resource the war adequately, to look at it seriously, and to win it. That's what the Democrats had proposed. So it has been a serious issue for over two years. He says in March – he announces on March 27 – “there is a new comprehensive strategy,” so he has been thinking about...

    "President Obama, I support the Americans' outstretched hand. But what did the international community gain from these offers of dialogue? Nothing." -- French President Nicolas Sarkozy, Sept. 24 WASHINGTON -- When France chides you for appeasement, you know you're scraping bottom. Just how low we've sunk was demonstrated by the Obama administration's satisfaction when Russia's president said of Iran, after meeting President Obama at the U.N., that "sanctions are seldom productive, but they are sometimes inevitable." You see? The Obama magic. Engagement works. Russia is on board. Except that, as The Washington Post inconveniently pointed out, President Dmitry Medvedev said...
