SCOTUS on Guns/N. Korea/Oil/Dem Unity/Obamacons
Listen to/Watch entire show:
The decision on gun control will raise many issues at the level of local regulation. Now that W has taken North Korea off the “black list” (against the will of Cheney and Bolton), what will this lead to, will it become the new Vietnam, the new South Korea? The oil market is skyrocketing, the stock market has the jitters: what’s to become of the American economy? So now that Obama and Hillary have kissed and made up, will Bill’s legacy get scrubbed up? And a unique phenomenon worth exploring: conservatives for Obama.
