From Ross Kaminsky:

In our first hour of this week’s show, we’ll be joined by global strategy expert and best-selling author Dr. Thomas P.M. Barnett (bio) of Wikistrat.com to discuss President Obama’s Thursday speech about the Middle East, especially his vision for Israeli-Palestinian peace negotiations. We’ll also discuss Pakistan’s relationship with the United States following the killing of Osama bin Laden.

Later on in the show, we’ll talk about more fascinating political news of the week, including:

  • Newt Gingrich’s implosion
  • The push by some (including me) to get Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels to enter the presidential race, and
  • The release of documents which suggest that Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan may have lied to the Senate to get confirmation – and that she should be recused from any deliberation or ruling on Obamacare.

I also want to talk a bit about the liberal myth and misinformation that the US has 2% of the world’s oil reserves but uses 25% of the world’s energy.

Please join me by listening to (and calling in to) this week’s Backbone Radio program from 5 PM to 8 PM on 710 AM KNUS in Denver and 1460 AM KZNT in Colorado Springs.
