  • Summer bummer for George & Bam

    A long hot summer, a weak US economy, currency turmoil in Europe and a president Americans like personally but believe is detached from their day-to-day money woes. President Barack Obama in the summer of 2010? Yes...

  • Ben's 'book' smarts to aid deflation battle

    Well, that sure settles it. After several weeks of sub-par economic statistics, Friday's employment report put an exclamation point on the fact that this is anything but a V-shaped recovery. Not only were a scant 83...

  • Chairman Obama

    Americans reacted with dismay, and rightly so, last week upon learning that President Obama has yet to meet or talk on the phone with BP CEO Tony Hayward about the Gulf-gush oil disaster. Instead, the President has...

  • No wisdom from Oracle

    Can the longest and most speculative bull market since the 1920s truly come to an end without its patron saint being knocked from his pedestal, at least a bit? Probably not. And this week the Oracle spoke. The...

  • NJ's Christie gives Garden State some tough love

    It isn't often that a town hall meeting in Rutherford, NJ, merits much attention, but one such gathering certainly did last week when New Jersey governor Chris Christie took questions from the crowd and fired back with...

  • 'Change' for voters omits Bam

    Voters sent a strong message to President Obama this week that the change they now believe in doesn't have much to do with him whatsoever -- Americans will vote for change in 2010 by kicking the incumbents out, period....

  • Poof! Former Citigroup brass transform into weasels

    It was the consultants who did it. Gee, why hadn't anyone come up with that one before? Perhaps because it sounds, well, like such a weaselly excuse for putting American taxpayers on the hook for $45 billion and $300...
