It’s way too early to tell whether the United States under President-elect Barack Obama will restore realism, sanity and lawfulness to its immigration system.
If Mr. Obama’s team is confirmed, the country will have a homeland security secretary, Janet Napolitano of Arizona, and a commerce secretary, Bill Richardson of New Mexico, who understand the border region [...]

That is not to say the profits gained by the Taliban and other insurge

"Após sete anos do estilo fracassado de governo de George W. Bush, na linha do 'ou-vocês-estão-conosco-ou-estão-contra-nós', os eleitores americanos merecem ver um debate com nuanças - agora e durante a fase final da campanha - sobre como cada um dos candidatos vai combater o terrorismo, proteger as liberdades civis, enfrentar a crise imobiliária e pôr fim à guerra do Iraque". O eixo central dessa queixa do editorial do "New York Times" na última quarta-feira, 23, foi a conduta da candidata Hillary Clinton na campanha da Pensilvânia.

You're telling me that you're going to be brushing up against that and not have a lustful thought? This is John McCain we're talkin' about, not Larry Craig. Even the well-respected Huffington Post broke the story that Iseman looks like Cindy McCain. So, even if he didn't do anything, he thought about it and, according to his religion, he may as well have."

Caroline Kennedy ha mostrado públicamente su apoyo a Obama en un artículo publicado hoy en el New York Times. A título personal no me sorprende, porque esta familia y los Clinton, aún perteneciendo al mismo partido, siempre han tenido tiranteces. Solamente espero que Obama sufra exactamente de la misma suerte que tuvo el Kerry, cuando hace 4 años también fue comparado con el presidente americano de los años 60, al coincidir las iniciales de ambos: JFK. Y es que tanto para USA, como para el resto del mundo, es muy conveniente que el candidato demócrata sea Clinton, ya que dadas las circunstancias actuales, si los demócratas llegan a la Casa Blanca , mejor que sea con alguien que ya tiene experiencia en la “gran política”.

In addition to the prescription drug program, George Bush’s Medicare Plan provided for extra payments to private insurance companies to cover Medicare patients. Under these Medicare Advantage plans it now costs about twelve percent more to cover Medicare patients than under the government program, even though the private companies often cherry pick the healthiest patients. The extra payments also provide incentive for fraud. In light of the problems which have been identified with these plan, The New York Times has an editorial today calling for an elimination of the subsidies:
Heavily subsidized private Medicare plans are continuing to prey on elderly Americans despite state, federal and industry efforts to stop them. It is yet another reason to rein in these operations by eliminating their unjustified subsidies.
These plans are a financial drag on Medicare as the government pays them about 12 percent more, on average, than the same services would cost in the traditional Medicar

He voted "present,†effectively sidestepping the issue, an option he invoked nearly 130 times as a state senator.Sometimes the "present' votes were in line with instructions from Democratic leaders or because he objected to provisions in bills that he might otherwise support. At other times, Mr. Obama voted present on questions that had overwhelming bipartisan support. In at least a few cases, the issue was politically sensitive.The record has become an issue on the presidential campaign trail, as Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York, his chief rival for the Democratic nomination, has seized on the present votes he cast on a series of anti-abortion bills to portray Mr. Obama as a "talker†rather than a "doer.â€"http://www.nytimes.com/2007/12/20/us/politics/20obama.html?ex=1355806800&en=8385d348acbab84e&ei=5088&partner=rssnyt&emc=rss
Mike Huckabee suddenly looks like a real candidate rather than one of those guys who comes to the debates without any chance of winning. Hiring Ed Rollins makes him look more like a real candidate, and he is suddenly getting a tremendous amount of media exposure, including a profile in The New York Times Magazine. While many topics are addressed, the one I’m most interested in is how Huckabee’s religious views would affect his actions if he was elected considering his reputation for governing as a centrist. Early in the article there is one paragraph which is not very encouraging:
Huckabee's affability and populist economic and social views have sometimes been misinterpreted as a moderate brand of evangelical Christianity. In fact, as he wrote in his book ""Character Makes a Difference,'' he considers liberalism to be a cancer on Christianity. Huckabee is an admirer of the late Jerry Falwell (whose son, Jerry Jr., recently endorsed his candidacy) and subscribes wh

On growing up:“I was once told that the age you are is the age you were when you became who you are. Does that mean I am perpetually 11? I’m not sure I want to have that strict an image. In the movie business, there is such a temptation to stick with a particular persona. There is a kind of artistic branding.”
