Ruben Navarrette Jr. says the Senate is failing to ask Barack Obama's nominees tough questions.Commentary: Senators, do your job
The supporters of President Obama assure us that, as a result of his taking office last week, the whole world has changed. Believe it.

When George W. Bush was president, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid often complained that the executive branch had usurped the power of the legislative branch, and insisted that Congress needed to preserve its oversight authority over the president’s decisions.
Now, even before President Obama took office, many senators, including most of the Democrats, willingly surrendered oversight of Cabinet nominations by lobbing softballs at nominees and ignoring serious ethical questions.

Ruben Navarrette says Sarah Palin's critics challenged her because of prejudices about small-town values.Commentary: Sarah Palin understands small-town America
During the presidential election, some Democrats demanded to know how I could defend Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin.

Simply put, Palin is my people. She’s small-town folk who wound in the big leagues.
