		<title>Obama: It Doesn&#8217;t Matter Who I Run Against</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It doesn’t matter who the GOP nominates next year, President Obama says. He tells 60 Minutes whoever it is will have values and a vision that are starkly different than his own. If Americans buy into that GOP vision more than his own, “I’ll lose,” Mr. Obama adds. Ahead of last night’s wide-ranging interview, a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Jobs: Encouraging, but&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A drop of four-tenths of a percent in the nation&#8217;s unemployment rate &#8211; to 8.6% from 9.0% - is unquestionably good news for President Obama. The rate had been hovering around 9.0% for months, so this dramatic move down could be a big deal politically &#8211; with the usual caveats. If you&#8217;re a glass half-full kind [...]]]></description>

		<title>Americans Don&#8217;t Want Meaningful Spending Cuts</title>
		<description><![CDATA[By now the sound of metal on asphalt is well known to Americans. It’s the sound of the can being kicked down the road by our feckless lawmakers. The latest can to be booted, of course, is that $1.2 trillion in debt reduction the super committee was supposed to have come up with by Thanksgiving. [...]]]></description>

		<title>A &#8220;Super&#8221;-fluous Congress</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As this Thanksgiving week begins, it&#8217;s clear that Washington has more than its share of turkeys. The 12-person (and horribly misnamed) &#8220;super committee&#8221; has failed to come up with $1.2 trillion in cuts. We&#8217;re so conditioned to a dysfunctional, hyper-partisan political system that it comes as no surprise. That the atmosphere is this probably meant the committee [...]]]></description>

		<title>One Year to Go</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ELECTION COUNTDOWN Exactly one year to go now &#8211; &#8217;til the Presidential election &#8211; how are things shaping up for the President &#38; his Republican rivals? Make NO – mistake – this is a pocketbook election &#8212; more than anytime, probably, since Jimmy Carter 1980. And we know how that turned out. The numbers President Obama [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ghouls &amp; Goblins&#8230;Another Typical Day in Washington</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#160; Trick…or treat? President Obama signs another executive order today – as his strategy of bypassing what he calls the “do-nothing Congress” continues. Today’s order is designed to prevent drug shortages. The U.S. faces critical shortages of many key drugs that are used to treat life-threatening illnesses, among them several forms of cancer. Using his new campaign mantra [...]]]></description>

		<title>Housing and Jobs: Joined at the Hip</title>
		<description><![CDATA[President Obama heads West today for three days of campaigning (not that the White House calls it this), fundraising &#38; rolling out new ideas to get the economy rolling. He&#8217;ll stop in Las Vegas, Los Angeles, San Francisco  and Denver. Also does The Tonight Show on Tuesday. Returns to White House Wednesday PM. Housing &#38; [...]]]></description>

		<title>Obama&#8217;s Plan B on Iraq</title>
		<description><![CDATA[First things first. A total American withdrawal from Iraq – all 39,500 troops &#8211; is not what President Obama wanted. The White House and Iraqi government had been talking for months about keeping several thousand U.S. troops there to keep an eye on things. A tripwire force if you will, not unlike the troops America [...]]]></description>

		<title>Occupy &#8211; the 2012 Election</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Occupy Wall Street, which has now spread across the country, is based on a broad undercurrent of economic dissatisfaction, fear and resentment, with big financial institutions and pin-striped bankers painted as the villains. Some politicians have poo-pooed the movement, but  their smarter brethren know better. In fact, the emotions supporting the Occupy movement are a political [...]]]></description>

		<title>Iran&#8217;s Terror Plot and 2012</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What does the President mean when he says Iran will “pay the price&#8221; for the stunning terror plot it allegedly was scheming to unhatch in Washington? Obama says all options are on the table. All presidents say this. You don’t want to box yourself in by ruling anything out – this is code for for military action, [...]]]></description>
