The Situation In Iraq. As things in Iraq deteriorate former Vice President Dick Cheney throws a zinger at President Obama. Are we now back in a bi-polar ‘Bush Was Wrong-It’s Not Obama’s Fault’ discussion? What should people who advocated for the war in Iraq (including lawmakers who voted to authorize it) say? President Obama as been in office almost 6 years, and has had time to arrange things in Iraq to his liking. How’s that working out? What is Obama responsible for? Is it his policy that leads to chaos enveloping the whole region? What impact did 9-11 have on talk radio and the way we talk about these issues? A late night walk-and-talk brings up some thoughts about all these subjects. And a critique of the remake of the 1967 Classic ‘Bonnie and Clyde’. Sponsored by Baklund R & D

Weekend Update! The White House’s rosy scenario on the Bowe Bergdahl release continues to unravel. There are three key points to pay close attention to in the next few weeks. Will this new PR debacle for the President have a negative impact on close races for Democrat Senate candidates in the 2014 cycle? These days, if you mention Ronald Reagan, you get flack from both sides of the political spectrum. The left always hated Reagan, and now he’s not ‘conservative’ enough for some. This week was the commemoration of the D-Day invasion at Normandy as well as the 25th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre of the Chinese people by their government. Will we look back in twenty more years and say that was the beginning of the end of the Communist Regime? Can you have continued economic growth without freedom? Is it true Michelle Obama is thinking about running for the Senate? Plus bike sharing has an ‘unexpected’ effect in New York City, and the ‘Green Line’ opens in Minneapolis and Saint Paul this weekend. Sigh. Sponsored by X Government Cars
