Obama’s Radicalism Is Killing the Dow – A financial crisis is the worst time to change the foundations of American capitalism.

The illusion that Barack Obama will lead from the economic center has quickly come to an end. Instead of combining the best policies of past Democratic presidents John Kennedy on taxes, Bill Clinton on welfare reform and a balanced budget, for instance President Obama is returning to Jimmy Carter’s higher taxes and Mr. Clinton’s draconian defense drawdown.

Glenn Beck the third most-watched program in all of cable news for the month, after Bill O’Reilly’s and Sean Hannity’s evening shows.

He believes he knows why viewers are tuning in: “People know in their gut that something’s not right. They’re not getting the truth.”

“I think we’ve been doing a very good job of trying to point out some things that maybe some other news organizations haven’t pointed out,” said Bill Shine, the network’s senior vice president of programming. “We’re kind of looking for things that people aren’t being told.”
