Rich Galen
Rich Galen has been described as "what you get when you cross a political hack with a philosopher."

His career includes work in and out of politics, in and out of the United States.

In 2003-2004, Rich did a tour of duty in Iraq where he went at the request of the White House. The assignment - which was to have lasted about eight weeks, stretched into six months. While there, he was responsible for bringing the message of the positive aspects of what the coalition was doing in Iraq back to Middle America.

Wasting Time in Washington

The best part of the live health summit coverage was Vice President Joe Biden being caught on an open mike saying, 'It's easy being Vice President. You don't have to do anything.'
Obama's Legacy
Wednesday, February 24, 2010
Health care reform will pass and Obama's legacy will be secure, but like King Pyrrhus, the price of his victory may well be the loss of Democrat majorities in the House and Senate.
Health Care Theater
Monday, February 22, 2010
President Obama has invited Democrat and Republican leaders from the House and Senate to a meeting at Blair House on Thursday to discuss health care reform. The half-day event will be televised on C-SPAN. I'd rather watch a three-hour Tiger Woods apology.
