After the White House Tax Cut Summit: Partisanship Lives On
By Walter Shapiro - Politics DailyNothing is as cloying as political Washington on its best behavior. The mood was marzipan after Tuesday's bridge-over-troubled-tax-cuts White House smile-button summit with the congressional leadership of both parties. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell reflected the new accentuate-the-positive spirit when he said, "I think we all agree there's no particular reason why we can't find areas of agreement and do some important things for the American people over the next two years." Gone was the rancor of the recent election during which Barack Obama talked about how the GOP had driven the ...
Sharp Fiscal Split Looms Over Obama and GOP
By Joseph Schuman - AOL News
(Nov. 30) -- Today's delayed, diminished and sure to be disputed White House meeting between President Barack Obama and ascendant congressional Republicans is set to include discussion of a broad array of national security and domestic policy issues. But in a week when painful deficit-cutting plans are coming to the fore and the government's operations could go unfunded if Congress doesn't act, no subject is likely to dominate the one-hour session as much as how the government spends and earns its money. Charles Dharapak, AP Republican John Boehner, center, looks on as President Barack Obama ...
Health Care Reform Is Moment For Nancy Pelosi
By Andrea Stone - AOL NewsWASHINGTON (March 21) -- Nancy Pelosi may speak softly, but Sunday morning she carried a big gavel – the same one used to pass Medicare in 1965 – into the Capitol where she shepherded the biggest expansion of health care in 45 years. In making the trek to the Capitol, Pelosi walked through a throng of Tea Party protesters, rather than take the underground tunnel to avoid them. She walked hand-in-hand with Rep. John Lewis, who the day before was subject to epithets hurled by some of the same demonstrators not heard since the 1960s. For Pelosi, it was meant not only to show ...
Rep. Pelosi's Floor Speech Before the House Health Care Vote
By not in system - AOL News(March 21) Below is the transcript of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's remarks before the House voted on health care reform. Thank you, my colleagues. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I thank the gentleman for yielding. I thank all of you for bringing us to this moment. It is with great humility and with great pride that we tonight will make history for our country and progress for the American people. Just think -- we will be joining those who established Social Security, Medicare, and now tonight health care for all Americans. In doing so, we will honor the vows of our founders, who in the ...
What Hurdles Remain for Health Care Reform?
By not in system - AOL News(March 17) -- The massive overhaul of the health insurance industry could ultimately provide coverage for as many as 30 million uninsured Americans at a 10-year price tag of just under $1 trillion. But a range of complaints from rank-and-file Democrats, from how the package is paid for to the treatment of illegal immigrants to restrictions on abortion financing, have endangered the bill's prospects for passage. Nobody -- not the Democrats, not the Republicans and not the White House -- knows how it will end for President Barack Obama's top domestic priority once the votes are finally ...
Nancy Pelosi Makes Election Prediction
By not in system - AOL NewsWASHINGTON (Feb. 28) - House Speaker Nancy Pelosi Sunday predicted the Democrats will keep their majority in the House despite some of the rough rides it has been having in the polls and Republican warnings that Democrats will suffer political damage if health care reform legislation is "jammed down the throats of a public" that opposes it. ...

Waterboarding Now vs. Internment in WWII: More Discussion
By Jeffrey Weiss - Politics DailyYesterday, I posted about my annoyance over pundits comparing the Bush administration approval of waterboarding and the internment of Japanese Americans during WWII without enough expert opinion from people who had studied the internment (pundit examples here, here, and here). ...
