Obama Budget Due Monday as Debate Nears on Raising Debt Ceiling
By Tom Diemer
It's crunch time. With deficit hawks hovering, President Obama will offer his 2012 budget Monday, a spending package likely to include enough cuts to offend liberals, but not enough to mollify conservatives. But that's just an opener. House Republicans, facing an early March deadline to finish ...
Rumsfeld: MIA on the True Costs of the Iraq War
By David CornI was reading Donald Rumsfeld's just-released memoir, "Known and Unknown," when I came across a passage that brought me to a dead stop: "The U.S. military involvement in Iraq has come at a high price. Combat took the lives of thousands of American servicemen and -women and left many more wounded. ...
Obama's Second Year Widened the Partisan Divide on How He Is Seen
By Bruce Drake
Even some of Sarah Palin's supporters might concede she is a polarizing figure. But she gets some stiff competition on that score from President Obama. For a chief executive in the second year in office, he had a wider divide between how the two major political parties see him than any chief ...

By Sarah Wildman
"Whatever the future holds . . . the tide can never be turned back." Words about Egypt's days of protest, which broke out last Tuesday? No. Written this week?
