Hagel Hearts Obama
By Christopher Weber - Politics DailyChuck Hagel may be crossed off John McCain's Christmas card list. Lately the Republican senator from Nebraska is letting no opportunity go by to heap praise on Barack Obama. What's worse, Hagel (who sits on the Foreign Relations Committee) is now taking issue with McCain's recent criticism of Obama's promise to engage with Iran.

Obama, Democrats Fume Over Bush Speech
By Mark Impomeni - Politics DailyPresident Bush delivered a speech today in front of the Knesset, Israel's parliament, as part of his visit to celebrate that nation's 60th anniversary. In his remarks, the president commented on critics of his Administration's approach toward dealing with America's and Israel's common enemies, telling the assembled lawmakers, "We also believe that nations have a right to defend themselves and that no nation should ever be forced to negotiate with killers pledged to its destruction." The president followed that with some criticism of his own for those who do not share his view."Some seem to ...
