BALTIMORE, Maryland September 22, 2013 - On a Saturday evening when the news in Washington and the rest of the Northeast Corridor slows appreciably, many of us look for a meaningful summary of current events, someone who takes the facts, digests them, and puts everything in perspective. I believe I have found such a piece. It is in the opinion section of the Fox News site, and it is in the form of an article by a lad by the name of Wayne Allyn Root. The headline on the article is "Is there a con man in the White House?" This is how the piece starts: "I keep asking myself: why Syria? Why now?
No war in America history has ever been opposed by 71% of the citizens, or 75% of the military.
That’s how absurd and unnecessary this potential war is.
Then, when you realize Obama has had so many scandals and failures to hide, war is the perfect cover story to mask the most disastrous record in modern presidential history.
Obama is a desperate man. He has to cover-up the truth.
We have a CON MAN in the White House.
The sad thing is…it’s working. "
Mr. Root goes on to point out the many total screw-ups and intentional ploys run out of the White House. Give obama credit: he is no president. The Benghazi thing proves, no matter what the far left harrangues about, that he is not even a good man. In fact, it proves he is not a decent man. It proves he is of poor quality. He does not belong anywhere near the White House. He and the other usurper of national attention - Hilary Clinton - stood there next to the caskets of the four dead Americans killed at Benghazi, and, knowing that the jive about the video was completely false, said just the opposite to the grieving families. Shameful? It's not just shameful, it's despicable. Decent people would not do such things. But then again, neither of them are decent.
Mr. Root goes into all of this. In detail, and with clarity. Well worth a few minutes of your time.

Then, sporting only a 1-2-1 record, the Terps had to go into also always good North Carolina. But Maryland stood tall and walked out of Chapel Hill with a tie and a point. On Saturday night, the Terps were back on the road at bothersome Clemson. Maryland has had all kinds of problems with the Tigers in recent years. Last night Maryland whacked Clemson, 3-1. Their record is an un-Maryland-like 2-2-2. But in their last season in the ACC, Maryland is now 2-0-1. Despite their overall record, Maryland is ranked #17. Wake Forest, ranked #9, is 3-0-0 and in first place. Clemson, which was undefeated overall and ranked No. 13 is 2-1-0 in the conference and 6=1=0 overall. Notre Dame, in their first year in the conference and ranked No. 2, is 1-0-2 in the conference and 3-0-3 overall. They are in fourth place, tied with Virginia Tech with identical records in the ACC. Tech is unranked and 3-1-2 overall. North Carolina State and Boston College, both unranked, are tied for fifth, each with 1-1-1 records in the conference. State is 3-1-1 overall while the Eagles are 2=2=2. Tied for sixth place in the ACC is Number 1 North Carolina. In the ACC the Tar Heels are 0-0-3. Overall they are 3-0-3. Tied with North Carolina is newcomer Syracuse. The Orange are 1-2-0 in the conference and 5-1-2 overall. In seventh place are Duke and Virginia, each at 0-2-1 in the ACC. Duke is 3-2-2 overall while Virginia is 2-3-1. Alone in last place is the other newcomer, Pittsburgh. The Panthers are 0-3-0 in the ACC and 0-3-2 overall. You'll recall that in soccer a win is worth three points in the standings and a tie is worth one.
The reason is was such a good day for Maryland is that the football Terps improved to 4-0-0 with a 37-0 rout of West Virginia at Camden Yards in Baltimore. The Terps, off to their best start in forever, led 30-0 at the half in a game played in a steady rain that began at the outset of the second quarter.
