Agenda for US Visit by China's Hu Jintao Includes Trade and Security
By not in system - AOL NewsWASHINGTON -- Chinese President Hu Jintao arrived Tuesday as President Barack Obama prepared to welcome him with a careful mix of firmness and warmth befitting the leader of a nation that is at once the largest U.S. rival and most important potential partner. Tensions over currency and trade policies, a search for common ground on national security, and U.S. finger wagging over Chinese internal governance and human rights will dominate the visit. But any edge in the talks will be softened by an unusual private White House dinner Tuesday night between Hu and Obama, and a high-pomp state ...

I think there's a possibility." ...
Blasts Mar Biden's Call for Unity in Iraq
By not in system - AOL NewsBAGHDAD (July 3) - Vice President Joe Biden urged rival Iraqi politicians Sunday to end months of delays and select new leaders for their wobbly democracy, predicting a peaceful transition of power even as suicide bombers struck government centers in two major cities. The attacks in Mosul and Ramadi underscored persistent fears that insurgents will exploit Iraq's political uncertainty to stoke widespread sectarian violence. Four people were killed and 25 injured in the two blasts that occurred hundreds of miles apart. The twin explosions on the Fourth of July illustrated the vexing nature of ...
Gaffe-o-Rama: Boehner, Biden, Obama and Palin
By Steve Pendlebury - AOL News(July 2) -- Talk about making a mountain out of an anthill. House Minority Leader John Boehner's poor choice of words to criticize financial reform legislation ignited a public spat that drew as much attention this week as the bill itself. In a Pittsburgh Tribune-Review interview published Tuesday, the Ohio Republican likened the bill to "killing an ant with a nuclear weapon." Democrats couldn't believe their luck. The White House and top Democrats on Capitol Hill scrambled to charge that Boehner was trivializing the financial crisis. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's communication chief told ...
Biden Slams World Cup Ref, But Not McChrystal
By Joseph Schuman - Politics DailyVice President Joe Biden this afternoon passed up a chance to comment on the potshots Gen. Stanley McChrystal took at his expense in the Rolling Stone article that has Washington in a lather, but the veep had no such qualms when it came to the World Cup ref whose call last week kept the U.S. from beating Slovenia. Biden was chatting about the soccer tournament with Attorney General Eric Holder as reporters entered a room at the Eisenhower Old Executive Office Building for a news conference on enforcement of intellectual property laws. Though he expressed a fondness for Slovenia, Biden said ...

Biden Says Cheney Is Misinformed or Misleading
By not in system - AOL NewsWASHINGTON (Feb. 14) - Vice President Joe Biden on Sunday belittled Dick Cheney's criticism of the Obama administration's commitment to fighting terrorism as either "misinformed or he is misinforming" and said the Iraq war wasn't worth it because of "the horrible price" paid. The former vice president fired back gently at his successor, saying, "I guess I shouldn't be surprised by my friend Joe Biden." Cheney also said that he disagreed with decisions by Bush officials to place shoe bomber Richard Reid on trial in civilian court and to release terrorism suspects from the U.S. detention ...
Message of Obama Photo Is in Eye of Beholder
By Steve Pendlebury - AOL News(Jan. 4) -- It's a new year, but some things never change. People will see a photograph of someone -- especially a hot-button personality -- and suddenly they feel imbued with the power to read minds. They are sure they can tell exactly what the person in the picture is thinking. The latest example is a photo of President Barack Obama that triggered the first skirmish of 2010 between bloggers on the left and right. Instapundit's Glenn Reynolds fired the opening shot when he posted the image from the White House Flickr page Sunday and invited his readers to "analyze the body language." The ...

By Jill Lawrence - Politics DailyThe juiciest parts of advance excerpts from the new book by David Plouffe, President Obama's 2008 campaign manager, concern the vice presidential selection process in both parties.

He also credits Obama with predicting why Republican John McCain's choice of Sarah Palin ultimately would backfire. Plouffe's book, "The Audacity to Win," is due in stores Tuesday. The author will be on NBC's "Meet The Press" on Sunday; the excerpts are out now in Friday's edition of Time magazine. The ...
