		<description><![CDATA[The “Cash for Clunkers” program may be the most creative policy initiative we have seen come from government in a long time. The effect is dynamic and the implementation is simple. For there to be opposition to this bill is mind boggling. In 2003 we saw Bush and his Republican allies pass a tax break [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The great progressive writer Randolph Bourne once said, “Diplomacy is a disguised war, in which states seek to gain by barter and intrigue, by the cleverness of arts, the objectives which they would have to gain more clumsily by means of war.” The foundations for the Obama foreign policy are beginning to take shape.

CS Monitor

Washington &#8211; This story began – as so many do – with a lunch.
While attending a conference in 2004 in the tiny Gulf state of Qatar, I was invited to break bread with the ruler, Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani, and his wife, Sheikha Mozah. As a bewildering array of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Under the Bush administration you could just feel the shifting of wealth into the pockets of the wealthy. It started from the very beginning with Bush&#8217;s tax cut in 2001. This tax measure lopped off taxes primarily on the very wealthy and the result was an exponential increase in the amount of wealth at the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Conservatives sure lack originality. All the great artists and designers are all liberals and it really showed yesterday. Let us first address the milieu of the protest name: Tea Party. That is no conservative sounding event. Without the Boston in front of it, it sounds, well, kind of dainty.  Don&#8217;t you think? And having [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[President Obama&#8217;s speech content was interesting to watch this past week. Many have said it was simply a pleasure to watch a statesman who can effectively deliver a speech. But there was something much different than style between the former President and the present one. In fact there was an element to Obama&#8217;s speeches that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Europeans are very subtle by nature. The farther north you go in Europe the more subtle they get. President Obama spoke in Strasbourg today. Though in France, it is as much German as it is French in temperament (if not in nationality). This was the second leg of Obama&#8217;s first overseas trip but you would [...]]]></description>

&#8220;The libels on me and their easily traceable email trails show conclusively that there is a powerful&#160; lobby determined to prevent any view other than its own from being aired, still less to factor in American understanding of trends and events in the Middle East.&#160; The tactics of the Israel Lobby plumb the depths of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Recently I received a conservative article about the impact of Jimmy Carter on the events that have unfolded during the past thirty years or so. As we experience the return of liberalism from nearly a quarter century of dormancy, I felt it was time to set the record straight and re-examine the blame. The following [...]]]></description>
