Leadership In A Vacuum As we've talked about the 100 day mark of Obama's second term, there seems to be a growing theme among those discussions: Obama is a failed leader who has lost his mojo. When asked during a press conference the other day whether he had �lost of his juice,� Obama responded, �Golly, maybe I should just pack up and go home.� Mr. President, I'll help you! With all of this hubris and hype, what does Obama really have to show for it? Our economy is abysmal and his signature legislative victory � ObamaCare � is falling apart before our very eyes. Even Democrats are conveniently pushing back on ObamaCare. Couple that with the fact that no Democrats have clamored to sponsor Obama's budget proposal, and they themselves couldn't muster enough support to pass gun control legislation...{ more} America's Most Feared Economist Ann Coulter, author of �Racial Demagoguery from the Seventies to Obama,� joined Sean to discuss gun rights and the constant ridiculous persecution of those people who are law abiding gun owners. Coulter discussed John Lott's latest book in which he provides an analysis of the effect of concealed- carry laws on violent crime. Lott's results show a statistically significant reduction in crime after concealed-carry laws are enacted. Of the 177 separate analyses run by critics of Lott's analysis, only seven show a statistically significant increase in crime after the passage of concealed- carry laws, while 90 of their own results show a statistically significant drop in crime -- and 80 show no difference. Many attempts by the left have been taken to "discredit" Lott's research. But, as Ann Coulter writes in a column on her website, "Discredited" in liberal lingo means, "Ignore this study; it didn't come out well for us."

The Rise Of Radical Islam I believe that Boston and Benghazi are testaments to this administration's failure to recognize that we are at war with radical Islamist jihadis. While this clearly doesn't fit into the Obama administration's narrative that radical Islam is on the decline and al Qaeda is on the run, his failure to recognize the real problem here is causing serious long-term harm to our security. Looking back through the prism of history, we will see how dangerous this time truly has been for America and the world. We've had a lot of movement in recent days on both Boston and Benghazi. Let's start with Benghazi...{ more} Today's "Hot Topic" On The Hannity Forums: Reid: More funding needed to prevent ObamaCare from becoming 'train wreck' � fava It is already a train wreck. We just don't know how many trains and causalities are involved yet. >> TV Tonight (Hannity FoxNews at 9pm ET): Obama begins his trip to Latin America.
