President Obama prepared to delay his Christmas vacation to help shove bills through Congress. He also faces the traditional last-minute Christmas shopping. A president can't shop for Christmas gifts in late November like everyone else does because in Washington D.C., you never know who your friends are going to be in six weeks.
President Obama explained his cave-in on taxes Tuesday by saying Republicans were holding the middle-class hostage. The president had to act. Jimmy Carter called and warned him the longer there are hostages the less likely it is he'll be reelected.
President Obama's debt panel commission suggested painful reductions in federal spending Wednesday. No one was spared. They even cited the basketball player who elbowed President Obama in the mouth last Friday, saying the cuts didn't go far enough.
Donald Trump says he may run for president as a Republican in two years. He's very much a man of his times. There are seventy million Baby Boomers and Donald Trump is the only one who still wears a Davy Crockett coonskin cap on his head every day.
President Obama refused to reduce Health Care Reform benefits. The U.S. government is giving out free mammograms, free testicular and cervical screenings and free prostate exams. All you have to do is walk through the airport like you're going somewhere.
President Obama stood in front of India's congress and bowed low before he gave a speech to them. The gesture didn't work. The lawmakers still observed the Indian custom of putting the American on hold for twenty minutes before they'd listen to them.
John Kerry told a crowd that Rush Limbaugh has turned America into Know Nothings. He is one to talk. John Kerry lost the presidential election six years ago when any idiot could have beaten President Bush, but John Kerry proved he's not just any idiot.
Chicago was rocked by hurricane-force winds Tuesday which meteorologists called a freak monsoon. Ballots flew through the air in downtown Chicago. No one's sure how far the wind carried the ballots but half of them were pre-checked for Harry Reid.
Chilean President Sebastian Pinera expressed gratitude after the miners were all rescued. He thanked U.S. drilling firms, the British prime minister and the Israeli prime minister. He forgot to thank Obama for not banning deep drilling after the accident.
President Obama delivered a rousing speech at a downtown rally in Philadelphia on Sunday. While the president was onstage reciting all the bills he's passed, someone from the crowd threw a book at him. Don't worry, it passed without anybody reading it.
California GOP governor candidate Meg Whitman denied Democratic charges that she knew her maid was an illegal alien. Both sides are dug in. Republicans will certify their maids when Democrats can certify their presidents, until then it's a Mexican stand-off.
President Obama signaled a change in U.S. policy toward the Third World in a U.N. speech. He said he intends to promote commerce and free trade with poor nations rather than just give them money. If it works there, he's going to try it here.
The L.A. Controller's office issued a report on how the city spent its federal stimulus money. Los Angeles spent seventy million dollars and created seven jobs. No one knows where the money went, but Arnold Schwarzenegger has financing for his next seven pictures and shooting begins in December.
Fidel Castro was conciliatory toward the United States government in an interview this week in the Atlantic Monthly. He's got only two months left to get the U.S. Congress to lift the trade embargo. Democrats don't see Cuba as the enemy, they see it as the cigar room.
John McCain told Fox News Sunday any tax cuts proposed by President Obama would be a deathbed conversion. He knows all about those. The anti-immigration-reform John McCain looked great after last week's Senate primary win over the pro-immigration-reform John McCain.
Los Angeles sweltered in triple-digit temperatures when the Santa Ana winds came in off the desert. Tourists aren't mollified when you tell them that it's just dry heat. Their ovens back home have dry heat but they don't go there on vacation.
The CIA claimed success in retarding Iran's nuclear program Thursday, saying U.S. spies sneaked faulty supply parts into Iran's nuclear supply chain. Many are upset. It's unseemly for the CIA to pass out cigars every time we arrange a nuclear accident.
White House spokesman Robert Gibbs ripped liberal Democrats who compare Barack Obama to George W. Bush. He said they should be drug-tested. You know how Democrats are, the first thing they want to know is whether you brought enough for everybody.
Real Housewives of D.C. starred White House crasher Michaela Salahi. She made it into a White House state dinner last fall by slipping past guards at the fence. Barack Obama shook her hand in the receiving line and gave her U.S. citizenship.
BP's Tony Hayward left for Russia to drill in Siberia after Barack Obama got him sacked as CEO. It's part of his post-racial presidency. For every African-American he fires from the Agriculture Department he sends one Anglo-Saxon to Siberia.
