The same old question continues to haunt Obama as was before him when he assumed office in January should he continue the course charted by his predecessor, which has caused great damage to his country and drawing it further into the sinkhole; or deliver on the promise of hope and change he made not only to his own people but the whole world? That time he missed the opportunity granted by a broad national mandate and the universal consensus against the Bush policies. One hopes he won't miss the... - Oh My, It is Another Washington Fairy Tale by Harold Simmons

Perhaps it's not surprising that President Obama would think nothing of subjecting Manhattan to the spectacle of a civilian court trial against Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, mastermind of the 9/11 attacks.

Health reform in American is the latest craze that many people are scared about. There are many politicians who are also scared to what the universal health care plan will intail.

The current House version of the "Health Care Reform Bill" (H.R. 3962) is projected to cost about $900 billion and be "revenue neutral" which translated means it will not directly add to the budget (but it will also not reduce healthcare costs.)

Read the full article and find out the three major reasons this bill cannot live up to its promises. - Kerry - Lugar Bill, Zardari and Army by Khurram Zaki

The government is trying to convince you that the proposed Health Care Bill to be approved by the House and the Senate will save money.

Healthcare definitely needs reformed. Unfortunately, the bill passed by the house solves none of the problems.

Congress says things aren't going as well as they could be. They downplay positive news. They say growth is still a long way off. They dismiss positive economic data and put on a sour face when addressing the public. Our members of Congress all claim to support fiscal responsibility. But, they sure don't act like it. The Defense Department says they don't need these new jets. Since when is spending $550 million on something you don't need fiscally responsible?
