Pundit Press is proud to present interview number 21 in our ongoing series. Today we're interviewing Dan from
High Plains Pundit. HPP is one of our favorite sites and we thank Dan for taking the time to answer our questions. Be sure to check out his site and bookmark!
1. When and why did you decide to start High Plains Pundit?
We launched High Plains Pundit in the summer of 2008. I have been involved in the news business for several years and decided it was time to step out on my own.
2. What's the best thing about running your site?
High Plains Pundit allows me a forum to pursue the issues and topics that are most important to me and my readers. I think we provide a good mix of conservative commentary and news stories. I really enjoy interacting with my readers through emails or chat forums. High Plains Pundit receives over 200 emails a day, and I take pride in the fact we personally answer each and everyone. It is always great to hear what the readers think, whether they agree or not.
3. Has President Obama been better or worse than you expected?
I think the President as performed about as expected. Many of us knew he was the most liberal Senator and he continued that trend when elected. For examble, with the ramming of Obamacare down the American's peoples throats. We have a President who is basically learning on the job, but not really learning anything at all. His liberal domestic policies have been proven to be a complete failure with the continued weakened economy. His policies have prolonged the current economic down turn, much like FDR's prolonged the Great Depression. Obama is certainly being exposed as very weak on foreign policy issues with the current situation in Egypt. For everyone that thinks President Obama is moving more to the center like Bill Clinton, listen to what he says and then watch what he actually does.
4. Who do you like for 2012?
I think Obama is guaranteed a second term if the Republicans keep throwing the likes of Huckabee, Ron Paul, Romney, and Gingrich out there. It is time to hand the party over to the likes of Chris Christie, Michelle Bachman, Marco Rubio, Paul Ryan, and Eric Cantor. I also like Herman Cain and Allen West. Sarah Palin could be a an actual contender in 2012 if she would actually take more of a stand on the issues and offered up some good ideas and solutions. Palin has shown that she can take a "Left" punch.
5. What is the most important under-reported story of recent years?
Without question the continuing violence along our border with Mexico. The drug lords have either killed or ran all the police off. The Mexican army is nowhere to be seen. Just think of the terror and oppression the Mexican citizens in these border towns are experiencing at the hands of the drug lords every single day. The violence has now started to appear in Mexico's tourist destinations as well. This is a very dangerous situation that the current occupent of the oval office simply does not get. If we do not protect our southern border soon, more of the violence will spill into our country and President Obama will have the blood of American citizens on his hands.
6. Anything else you'd like to add?
You guys are doing a great job at Pundit Press and it shows with the quality of work and growing readership of your site. Thanks for the interview and the opportunity to share my thoughts with the Pundit Press readers.
