EDITORIAL: Obama’s labor lobbyist

Despite rhetoric to the contrary, President Obama does accept lobbyists at the White House. Not only has the president appointed a host of former lobbyists to key executive-branch positions, Service Employees International Union head Andy Stern was the most frequent White House visitor in the first nine months of the year. The union chief met with top officials and attended events some 22 times, according to White House logs.

EDITORIAL: Inequities in Ecuador

U.S. trade preferences should not be awarded to nations where corruption runs rampant and American companies are preyed upon. Today, the Senate Finance Committee becomes the second congressional committee this week to consider whether to renew the Andean Trade Preference Act. The committee ought to exclude the government of Ecuador from some or all of the act's benefits.

A note from the publisher

The Washington Times on November 9 announced upper-management moves designed to help keep pace with the ever changing media marketplace. As you know, we are dealing with the same challenges faced by many American families and businesses limited resources and fiscal constraints forcing us to make difficult choices among many competing priorities. Prior to these management changes, on November 6 John Solomon, executive editor for 20 months, tendered his resignation.

EDITORIAL: Obama’s Asian folly

It's ironic that President Obama is ending his weeklong Asian tour in Seoul tomorrow. For a trip intended to help expand ties between the United States and countries in the region, it only focuses greater attention on the president's incoherent trade policy, especially his inaction on a valuable free-trade deal with South Korea.

EDITORIAL: When the Sheikh walks

President Obama stated last week that Khalid Sheikh Mohammed will face "the most exacting demands of justice" during his trial on federal terrorism charges. But justice is a two-way street. The trial can only be considered fair if there is a presumption of innocence and the possibility of acquittal. The defense team will use every avenue available to see to it that the Sheikh walks.

EDITORIAL: Meaningless stimulus numbers

President Obama and his flacks constantly have claimed that the government's $787 billion stimulus package has created or saved hundreds of thousands of jobs. The numbers don't back up the claim. In fact, the numbers don't clarify anything.

EDITORIAL: Broken promises on abortion

President Obama promised taxpayer funds would not pay for abortion if the Democrats' health care legislation were passed. "Under our plan, no federal dollars will be used to fund abortions," he said during his Sept. 9 address to Congress. That was then.

EDITORIAL: Covering up jihad

On Saturday, President Obama urged Congress to hold off investigating the Fort Hood massacre in order to let law enforcement and military authorities do their work. Mr. Obama said the ongoing investigation "will look at the motives of the alleged gunman, including his views and contacts." But if Army Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan saw himself as a jihadist warrior, we may never hear about it at his trial. The defense, judge and even prosecution may have an interest in keeping the shooter's radical worldview under wraps. Maj. Hasan will be on trial, but jihadism will not.

EDITORIAL: Ballot initiatives without retribution

There's no doubt that the right to free speech includes the right not to speak in public. A lawful government may no more compel somebody to speak than it can compel that person to attend a specific church, buy a particular brand of soap or vote for one candidate over another.

America’s Morning News

In case you didn't tune into The Washington Times' nationally syndicated radio show, "America's Morning News" - heard in Washington on WTNT-AM 570 and coast to coast via the Talk Radio Network - find out what three of Monday's guests told co-hosts Melanie Morgan and John McCaslin.

EDITORIAL: Brass attacks

Seventy-six trombones left the big charade. A thousand and 10 store debts are close at hand. There are zippers, keys - so many amenities - all outlawed because Congress is blind. With apologies to Meredith Willson's 1957 Broadway show "The Music Man," such could be the latest fallout from the draconian Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act.

EDITORIAL: Government Motors’ flawed financing

The Federal Reserve is prepping to give General Motors' financially troubled lending partner as much as $5.6 billion in additional financial-industry bailout dollars. Since GMAC Financial Services' survival plans are largely built around floating on the government dole in the hope that its prospects improve, letting it guzzle even more taxpayer money makes little sense.

EDITORIAL: PelosiCare hikes capital gains taxes

President Obama repeatedly has declared that the government needs to take over health care to keep America competitive, yet the version of reform that is emerging attacks the heart of this country's investor class.

EDITORIAL: Justice for the unborn terror victim

Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan was charged with 13 counts of murder for the Fort Hood massacre, but 14 persons were killed. Army Pvt. Francheska Velez, a 21-year-old Chicago native, was six weeks pregnant when she was gunned down. Her unborn child is the 14th victim, but the death so far has been ignored by our government.

EDITORIAL: Walpin-gate opens wider

The case of Gerald Walpin, the controversially fired inspector general for the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS), continues to raise questions about what the Obama administration is hiding.

EDITORIAL: Running away from terrorism

The Fort Hood, Texas, massacre was the worst domestic terrorist incident since the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, but the government refuses to admit it. The latest act of denial is procedural. The accused shooter, Army Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, reportedly has been charged with 13 counts of premeditated murder under Article 118 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, which does not provide for a charge related to terrorism. Officially, this was not a terror attack, but nonpolitical murder.
