Franken on the Hill
Before we rebuild another country we need to clean our own house. By that I mean send career politicians packing, rather they be republican, democrat or an independent.

Hitchens the Glib
As usual, Hitchens does a great job of putting down nearly every politician in sight. What he chooses to ignore about Obama is that there is substance to him, in his team of advisers, at his website, and, yes, even in some of his speeches - those which are devoted to policy issues.
