The White House counsel to the president, one of the two or three most
important positions on the White House staff, must be more than a great

I recall very well the first time I was on the Michael Smerconish radio
talk show on WPHT in Philadelphia. He was doing a nationally syndicated
talk show carried by 70 stations across the U.S. He was also a well-read
and respected columnist for the Philadelphia Inquirer.

I have been writing this “Purple Nation” column for a long time, waiting for the “purple moment” when President Obama and Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) would agree on an important position on the budget and deficits.

There are many pro-Israel Americans, including members of the American Jewish community, who believe that the best strategy for bringing Israel and the Palestinians to the peace table is for President Obama to try to appear neutral or even lean toward the Palestinian/Arab world viewpoint,

When will they ever learn? As obvious as are the fundamental
rules of effective crisis management, time-tested over the ages, it is
amazing how often the same mistakes are made by politicians and
companies in the midst of a crisis.

Republican U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz (Texas) deserves thanks. He managed to go
so far over the top in showing poor taste in his shameful questioning of
former Sen. Chuck Hagel (R-Neb.) during this week’s Armed Services
Committee hearing on Hagel’s nomination as Defense secretary that he
managed to assure that Hagel will be confirmed, as he should be.

I believe a president — Republican or Democrat — almost always deserves
to have the Cabinet that he wishes, with the bar very, very high to
oppose his choice. Thus, there should be heavy presumption that
President Obama’s reported nominee for secretary of Defense, former
Nebraska Republican Sen. Chuck Hagel, should be confirmed by the Senate.
