A Better World For Terrorists...

On his second full-day in office, President Obama has ordered the closure of the Gitmo detention center.

On the surface this looks like America is "lightening up" and "going easier" on combatting terror. . How else should the world's terrorists think of America, knowing that one of our new President's top priorities is to close down a prison facility where some of our best interrogation work is done?

But beneath the surface, a serious political problem could be brewing for President Obama. What do we do with the approximately 245 terrorists that remain at Gitmo, chief among them, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed?

Talk is underway to place some of these thugs in the Fort Leavenworth "Disciplinary Barracks." Located in Kansas, Fort Leavenworth is the only maximum disciplinary facility in the entire Department of Defense.

But why should the smalltown community surrounding Fort Leavenworth be forced to deal with the threat of dangerous enemy combatants in its own community? Their town would immediately become a terrorist target in a far greater way than they are now.

We'll talk about this big news, tonight on The Austin Hill Show.

Does President Obama Get A "Pass" Because He's Black???

You might think that's a "racist" sort of question. But no less than Juan Williams, Fox News commentator, probes this question today in the Wall Street Journal. Williams says we ned to judge Obama on his "performance," and NOT on his racial status.

But will we judge Obama that way?

We'll talk about that tonight.

Also....earlier today at the National Cathedral, the Obamas, the Bidens, and the Clintons attended a prayer service.

Not big news, in and of itself, but as the National Anthem was being played...only Obama and Hillary placed their "hand over their heart."

Tacky? Bad taste? A problem?

Bill Clinton, to his credit, was singing his heart out. But the former Prez, and the Vice President and his wife, did nothing.

Let's talk about this, and more tonight. Get streaming audio at www.Theaustinhillshow.com and join the show at 1-888 630-WMAL.

Can America REALLY Be Friends With "All Nations?"

President Obama said in his inaugural address today that, in essence, America is now, once again, a friend to all nations.

Is that true?

Have we ever been friends to "all nations?"

And is that a realistic, or even desirable objective, today?

Let's talk about it tonight.

Also....how long will President Obama remain the "teflon President?" How long can he continue to blame President Bush for a declining stock market, rising unemployment, or even a terrorist attack?

I suspect that because he is the "First Black President," he may remain immune from just about all potential presidential criticisms for most of the next 4 years.

We'll talk about these, and other items, today, on a special "inaugural addition" of "The Austin Hill Show."

It's All About Bush, And His "Farewell..."

Tonight, we'll be broadcasting President George W. Bush's "Farewell Address To The Nation," beginning at 8pm Eastern Time.

Bush is typically a man of relatively few words, and we are told that his nationwide address will only last ten to fifteen minutes.

However, I'm prepared for it to go a bit longer, given the historical nature of this moment.

But no matter how long it does or does not last, we'll talk about it on The Austin Hill Show, afterwards.

What is Bush's true legacy?

Has his impact on the world been primarily good, or primarily bad?

So, What Really Is His Legacy???

President George W Bush held his final press conference at the White House today. He reflected on his presidency briefly, defending himself on some issues, lamenting the outcome of others, and casting his vision for the future.

But how would YOU rate this President?

Join me tonight on The Austin Hill Show, and we'll talk about it.

Also on the show tonight.........is it time to legally "ban" mobile phone use while driving a car, in D.C.?

And a report in the Los Angeles Times indicates that Obama's first decision, after he becomes President, will be to close Guantanamo Bay Prison by executive order.

Good thing or not?

We'll talk about it, tonight...

Is It Worse When Republicans Do It???

"Do what?" you ask....I mean, is it worse when Republicans advance the "cause" of big, wasteful government, or is it worse when Democrats do it?

One would expect "big government" from Democrats. But in his final days in office, Republican President George W. Bush seems determined to be as wasteful as possible.

What do you make of it?

We'll talk about this, and more, tonight on The Austin Hill Show.
