    President Barack Obama is distancing himself from the critical task of repairing his crippled Obamacare website so he can return to the campaign trail. “The President is a very interested observer in this [repair] process [and] is being regularly updated on it, and is holding that team accountable for results,” Josh Earnest, his deputy press secretary told reporters Oct. 25, while flying with the president to three fund-raisers in New York. Obama’s departure Friday from the White House illustrates his focus on electoral and ideological gains for progressives, rather than on economic and practical gains for actual Americans. Obama’s aides...

    Los Angeles drivers aren't the only ones being screwed over by President Obama this Friday afternoon. The president's journey to the USC campus will also be cushioned by a blockade of air traffic within eight miles of LAX and downtown Los Angeles -- and within 10 miles of Burbank Airport -- from 10:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. The Federal Aviation Association told the Wrap that it has placed a Temporary Flight Restriction on all Los Angeles airspace, and that "only law enforcement aircraft and air ambulance aircraft" will be permitted through at certain times. However, LAX spokesperson Albert Rodriguez clarifies...

    Barack Obama Must Stop Campaigning And Start Governing President Barack Obama still steems to be running for office, rather than running the country, says Toby Harnden Toby Harnden 24 Oct 2009 Barack Obama retains the style of a campaigner, even in office. Perhaps we should not be surprised that the land of the permanent campaign has produced a president like Barack Obama. During his White House bid, Mr Obama's staff argued that his masterful oversight of the machinery that ultimately got him elected was his highest achievement. In many respects this was true, though Mr Obama was more chairman than...

    A prominent anti-gun campaigner has been stabbed to death at a flat in West Yorkshire. The body of Pat Regan, 53, was discovered at the property on Marlborough Grange in the Hyde Park area of Leeds on Sunday.

Police said post-mortem tests would take place later. Mrs Regan's son Danny, 25, became involved in criminality and was shot at his then home in Haydock, near St Helens, Merseyside. His killer has not been...

    Saturday afternoon the doorbell rings while I'm watching the Cubs game. I open the door - there stands a mid-50s man with a clipboard. He's wanting me to vote for Hillary Clinton in the upcoming Indiana primaries. No, I say - "we're Republicans here and I could never bring myself to vote for Hillary Clinton". "Won't you just vote for her in the primary then" - he asks, "and then vote for McCain in the fall." No, I say - "If I was going to vote for a Democrat, it'd have to be Obama because of my absolute disdain for...

    Susan Kennedy has been described as Satan, a sellout, a traitor, a spy -- and a brilliant political operative. And if that's not enough, Kennedy -- the Democratic workhorse who has become Republican Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's chief of staff -- has recently assumed one more title: head campaigner. As she goes around the state -- from boardroom to business group, talking up Schwarzenegger's $222 billion Strategic Growth Plan -- the former top aide to Democratic Gov. Gray Davis is unapologetic about her chief priority these days: "To get Arnold Schwarzenegger re-elected.'' --snip-- In an unusual arrangement, she is paid as...

    The New York Times September 28, 2004 Prewar Assessment on Iraq Saw Chance of Strong Divisions By DOUGLAS JEHL and DAVID E. SANGER WASHINGTON, Sept. 27 - The same intelligence unit that produced a gloomy report in July about the prospect of growing instability in Iraq warned the Bush administration about the potential costly consequences of an American-led invasion two months before the war began, government officials said Monday. The estimate came in two classified reports prepared for President Bush in January 2003 by the National Intelligence Council, an independent group that advises the director of central intelligence. The assessments...
