The Colbath’s are missionaries living in Honduras. Their take on wannabe strongman and ex-president Manuel Zelaya is similar to that of a friend of mine reported in returning from a short-term missions trip last month. What follows is a letter sent to President Obama by the Colbath’s daughter, Hannah, and forwarded to me by a […]
The question for you today is which one will win out in President Obama’s decision-making process. This morning on “This Week with former Clinton adviser and Democrat activist George Stephanopoulous” interviewed Treasury Secretary Timothy “I never realized the housing market had collapsed” Geithner who made a rather stunning “gaffe.” (Using the Michael Kinsley definition of […]
