By not in system - AOL News(Nov. 15) 00 The club of private college and university presidents earning seven figures is getting less exclusive. Thirty presidents received more than $1 million in pay and benefits in 2008, according to an analysis of federal tax forms by The Chronicle of Higher Education.

Target: Michelle Obama
By David Knowles - Politics DailyThe other day I received an e-mail from a 77-year-old female reader who wondered the following:David, What is your concept of Michelle Obama's statement about the first time being proud of America? To me, it seems like she has a dislike of America.This sentiment is currently being manufactured for political gain by the Tennessee Republican Party, who has apparently decided that Michelle Obama is the next Reverend Wright. You see, they've put together a catchy little "ad" that replays the would-be First Lady's sound-bite remark over and over again, interspersed with average white Americans (and ...
