Obama outreach to ´defuse´ GOP

Breaking bread with Republican senators. Meeting with the GOP House and Senate caucuses. Sitting down to lunch with the GOP’s budget point man – who tried to bump him from the White House last year. Is President Barack Obama, as one pundit said, just hungry? Or is he engaging in a newfound effort to bridge gaps between the parties as his second term gets under way? The top Democrat in the House says the latter. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said in an exclusive interview to run Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that Obama has “been very bipartisan

Here’s an easy way to tell when your position isn’t a conservative one. When you’re standing with Van Jones, your position isn’t a conservative one. When you’re standing with Code Pink, then your position is not a conservative one. No amount of noise or chest-beating is going to change that. The Republican Party has taken a severe beating in the last year. With so many hopes down the drain, some will take a victory where they can find it, even if it’s a younger version of Ron Paul. There are Conservative sites that are positively giddy

Hugo Chavez’s death was met with tributes from Iran, Bolivia, China and El Salvador. The Western left did not waste much time adding their withered roses to El Comandante’s coffin. George Galloway called him another Spartacus. Jimmy Carter described him as a leader who fought for the “neglected and trampled.” Michael Moore praised him for declaring that the oil belongs to the people. Whether or not the oil belongs to the people is a matter of some debate considering how much of it ended up in Chavez’s pocket. Chavez died with an estimated net worth of 2 billion dollars making

President Obama tended to his duties as dad Saturday morning, making time to watch his 11-year-old daughter Sasha play in a basketball game in Chevy Chase, Md., just outside Washington, D.C. In an interview with ESPN last year, the president talked about his second job as a coach for Sasha’s team. “With the girls, they just think of it as dad, that is what dads are supposed to do. They take it for granted,” Obama told ESPN’s Andy Katz in 2012. “But what was fun, this is now the third year that the team has played together,

Backlash Builds Against Chicago
Media for Attacks on GOP´s McKinley

The GOP primary in the race to replace Jesse Jackson, Jr. received little to no coverage leading up to the February 26 ballot from the mainstream Chicago media. Since winning the Republican nomination, however, the media have fixated on Republican winner Paul McKinley and his criminal past. Despite campaigning openly as an “ex-offender” since the beginning of the race, several local Chicago mainstream media outlets have made it their mission to reconvict McKinley on their own terms. And yet, the voters aren’t having it; in fact, after a particularly vicious series of pieces about McKinley featuring blatant, redundant,

Obama flails as Republicans

They´re flailing. That´s the impression I get from watching Barack Obama and his White House over the past week.Things haven´t gone as they expected. The House Republicans were supposed to cave in on the sequester, as they did on the fiscal cliff at the beginning of the year.They would be so desperate to avoid the sequester´s mandatory defense cuts, the theory went, that they would agree to higher taxes (through closing loopholes) on high earners. But the Republicans didn´t deal.

No, 80 Percent of NYC High School

An unfortunate story on CBS New York Thursday carried this headline: "Officials: 80 Percent Of Recent NYC High School Graduates Cannot Read." It´s a shocker, but it´s also untrue. And to make things worse, the story that followed was riddled with typos. According to the New York Post, which reported the same story earlier on Thursday, "79.3 percent of city public-school grads who went to CUNY’s six two-year colleges arrived without having mastered the basics" of reading, writing, and math, and had to take non-credit remedial classes to catch up.

A radical Islamist group based in Nigeria today claimed it has killed seven hostages, believed to include one Briton. Ansaru seized the men on February 16 from the site of a construction company operating in the northern part of the country. Local reports suggest that the group executed the hostages after British planes were seen in the country, leading the terrorists to believe a rescue operation was imminent. The group, also known as the Vanguard for the Protection of Muslims in Black Africa, released a statement saying that they had executed the hostages because of a planned rescue by British

Here´s a surprise ruling. For many years we´ve written about how troubling it is that Homeland Security agents are able to search the contents of electronic devices, such as computers and phones at the border, without any reason. The 4th Amendment only allows reasonable searches, usually with a warrant. But the general argument has long been that, when you´re at the border, you´re not in the country and the 4th Amendment doesn´t apply. This rule has been stretched at times, including the ability to take your computer and devices into the country and search it there,

For him. If you wonder why President Obama has changed course and is suddenly reaching out to Republicans in Congress, you need look no further than the recent wave of public-opinion surveys, which show his approval rating dropping precipitously, his reelection bump gone. Even though polls show the public is more likely to blame Congress for the obstruction that led to the sequester and the hardship it causes, that doesn’t mean Obama gets a free pass. He’s not getting a free pass? That’s news to me. And I pay attention to a lot of news.

Carl Levin’s retirement announcement today was delicious. The millionaire Michigan senator who gifted himself a $7,500 tax break to buy his $40,000 2012 Chevy Volt said his Number One priority in his last two years in office is cleaning up fat-cat tax breaks. “(My wife and I) decided that I can best serve my state and nation by concentrating in the next two years on the challenging issues before us,” said Michigan’s longest serving senator on his website today. “Years of bipartisan work by the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations that I chair have shed light

As the sequester enters its second week, one right-wing politician has a surprising answer for how to break the stalemate in Washington: “We need Ted Kennedy,” says Republican Kansas Governor and former Senator Sam Brownback. “It’s hard for a guy like me to say, but Ted would reach across the isle and say ‘for the good of the country’” we need to solve this problem, Brownback tells me in the accompanying video. “You need some people stepping up like that.” Even more surprising than a diehard conservative like Brownback lamenting the absence of Ted Kennedy is the notion

Rand Paul’s protestations of the Obama administration’s drone policy. According to Carville, Paul’s concerns that a drone could strike an American citizen on U.S. soil were similar to those who believe in birtherism and deny evolution and global warming. “Let’s remember, this is a party that vast numbers — vast numbers believe that the president was not born in the United States,” Carville said. “Vast numbers think that the earth is 5,000 years old,

Washington — Only 2 percent of health plans available to consumers in the private insurance market offer all the coverage that will become mandatory next year under the federal health care law, a new analysis has found. That means consumers and the federal government might end up paying the cost of the new requirements through higher premiums. "Any time you add benefits to a policy, it adds to the cost of health care coverage," said Robert Zirkelbach, a spokesman for America´s Health Insurance Plans, a trade association for large insurers.

Accra, Ghana-Often cast as the social conscience of the church, Ghana´s Cardinal Peter Turkson is viewed by many as the top African contender for pope. The 64-year-old head of the Vatican´s peace and justice office was widely credited with helping to avert violence following contested Ghanaian elections. He has aggressively fought African poverty, while disappointing many by hewing to the church´s conservative line on condom use amid Africa´s AIDS epidemic. Turkson´s reputation as a man of peace took a hit recently when he showed a virulently anti-Islamic video, a move now seen as hurting his papal prospects.

Senator Rand Paul’s filibuster will prove to be just the beginning, the senator himself is reporting in an op-ed piece in the Washington Post. He asserts, as many of us deduced, that his 13-hour stand on the floor of the upper chamber wasn’t just about whether John Brennan should be confirmed as director of central intelligence. It was about spurring “a national debate about the limits of executive power and the scope of every American’s natural right to be free.” He says that the Senate “has the power to restrain the executive branch”

Dubai-Nigeria based Islamist group Ansaru said on Saturday it had killed seven foreign hostages it seized on February 7 from a construction company in Nigeria, SITE Monitoring Service said. The group issued a statement in Arabic and English on an affiliate of the Sinam al-Islam network accompanied by screen shots of a video purporting to show the dead hostages, SITE said. One screenshot showed a man with gun standing above several prone figures lying on the ground. Ansaru, which has kidnapped other foreigners in the past, had blasted into the compound using explosives and abducted a Briton, an Italian,

This week it appeared Republican Sens. Ted Cruz and Mike Lee would wage a lonely war over their threat to hold up a continuing resolution to fund the U.S. government if they are not given a vote on a budget amendment to defund Obamacare. Now, it’s not quite so lonely. Sens. Marco Rubio and James Inhofe have joined Cruz and Lee, and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said Friday that he “looks forward to supporting” the amendment. It’s a significant step forward for Cruz and Lee.

MCALLEN, TEXAS – A Texas couple claims their daughter’s school district tried to force her to sing the Mexican national anthem and recite that country´s pledge of allegiance against her will -- then punished her for standing her ground. When the teen refused to participate, arguing it was against her beliefs as an American, she was eventually thrown out of the class and then given a failing grade for that day’s assignment, the lawsuit says. William Brinsdon filed the lawsuit on behalf of his daughter, Brenda.
