Vahi Meeting Of Minds On Education
Hillary Clinton likely breathed a sigh of relief Tuesday when the FBI declined to recommend any charges after investigating her use of a private email server as secretary of state. But the rebuke FBI Director James Comey delivered along with that announcement - that Clinton and her team had been extremely careless in handling classified data during her time at the State Department - may deepen voters existing concerns about her judgment, honesty and trustworthiness.The problem for presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump With his own dismal numbers on honesty, trustworthiness, and judgment, he s not well positioned to exploit what are arguably Clinton s biggest vulnerabilities.

Dem stanley en mexico ocrat Barack Obama accused rival Hillary Rodham Clinton on Friday of trying to play on people s fears to scare up votes with a stanley cup television ad showing sleeping children and asking who would be more qualified to answer a national security emergency call at 3 a.m. Watch the ad here. The question is not about picking up the phone. The question is: What kind of judgment will you make when you answer Obama said as he campaigned in Texas ahead of crucial contests here and stanley water jug in Ohio on Tuesday. We ve had a red phone moment. It was the decision to invade Iraq. And Senator Clinton gave the wrong answer. George Bush gave the wrong answer. John McCain gave the wrong answer, Obama said. The Obama campaign on Friday released a response to the Clinton spot using a similar setup-the 3 a.m. phone call-in its own ad. Obama s response to his Democratic rival s ad - which began airing in Texas on Friday morning - was a double-barreled swipe at both Clinton and the likely Republican presidential nominee. Polls show a tight race between Obama and Clinton in both states. Military issues play well in Texas, home to 16 active-duty military bases, including Fort Hood, the nation s largest Army post.Clinton is casting herself as the candidate with the experience and judgment to take command on Inauguration Day.

BHO vs. HRC....Barack Obama will be in Clinton, Iowa, tomorrow to do some Hillary Clinton bashing. Michael Crowley suggests that the public is tired of battles over HRC s vote in favor of the Senate Iraq resolution, which would make this a tired line of attack for Obama. However:It s possible that Obama will spin the Iraq question into a broader proxy for about Hillary s policy judgment and her vaunted experience. He s done some of that already. The...question then is whether he can make that point more forcefully 151; more negatively, I suppose 151; without seeming to violate his talk of a politics of hope. Clinton advisors believe Obama s rhetoric has boxed him in and limited his ability to go on the offensive. But maybe it s still possible to thread the needle, to twist the knife with a measure of intellectual honesty, and basic class, that doesn t backfire on him.This strikes stanley termosar me as, by far, the most important issue for Obama. In the particular area of foreign policy, he needs to persuade people that despite her eight years in the White House and six years in the Senate, Hillary s foreign policy judgment just isn t that good.

Judgment and temperament are the most important attributes in foreign affairs, not experience, and that has to be where he aims his attack.More generally, though, stanley water bottle I think he has to convince people like me that he s actually serious about taking a new approach to foreign affairs.

Bgct House passes long-delayed $19.1 billion disaster aid bill, sending it to Trump s desk
WASHINGTON --The trade clash between President Donald Trump and China s government is escalating, with Beijing pledging to counterattack with great strengt stanley cups h if Mr. Trump follows through on threat stanley taza s to impose tariffs on an additional $100 billion in Chinese goods. Mr. Trump made his out-of-the-blue move when China threatened to retaliate for the first round of tariffs planned by the United States. But for someone who has long fashioned himself as a master negotiator, Mr. Trump left it unclear whether he was bluffing or willing to risk a long trade dispute between the world s two biggest economies, with steep consequences for consumers, businesses and an already shaken stock market. They aren t going to bully him into backing down, said Stephen Moore, a former Trump campaign adviser who is now a visiting fellow at the Heritage Foundation. He said the Chinese are going to have to make concessions -- period. The White House sent mixed signals on Friday as financial markets slid from investor concern about a significant trade fight.

In a stunning declaration, Gov. James E. McGreevey announced his resignation Thursday and acknowledged that he had an extramarital affair with another man.

A divided federal appeals court on Monday ruled that private individuals and groups such as the NAACP do not have the ability to sue under a key section of the federal Voting Rights Act, a decision that contradicts decades of precedent and could further erode protections under the landmark 1965 law.The 2-1 decision by a panel of the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals based in St. Louis found that only the attorney general can enforce Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, which requires political maps to include districts where minority populations preferred candidates can win elections.The majority said other federal laws, including the 1964 Civil Rights Act, make it clear when private groups can sue but said similar wording is not found in the voting law.

This story was written by Editorial Board, Harvard CrimsonLast week, many across the globe watched in abject horror as an armed band of terrorists, backed by radicals suspected to be operating out of Pakistan, attacked numerous landmarks across Mumbai, including the world-famous Taj Mahal Palace Hotel. While the final death toll is still unknown, it is estimated that at least 174 people, including several Americans, perished as a consequence of these cowardly and dishonorable attacks.

Terrorism is not a legitimate political tactic, nor will it ever be.The fact that the terrorists responsible for the attacks seem to be aff stanley cup becher iliated with groups located in the frontier areas of Pakistan adds a regional significance to this attack.

Last week, for the 22nd time in 220 years, Americans saw the peaceful post-election transfer of power from one political party to another. In our great outdoor national ceremony, scheduled for some reason on a day that is as likely as any other to be the coldest of the year, Barack Obama took the oath as our 44th president and spoke to the nation for 19 minutes in a speech that was far more somber than the mood of the crowd of 2 million on the Mall.At least one thing he got wrong. He spoke of a sapping of confidence--a nagging fear that America s cups stanley decline is inevitable and that the next generation must lower its sights. But hours before Obama spoke, pollster Scott Rasmussen reported that 48 percent of Americans believe the nation s best days are yet to come, while only 35 percent say they have come and gone. Some of that optimistic plurality may come from voters convinced the nation was declining so long as George W. Bush was president but confident that it will rebound now that Obama is. Americans may be pessimistic about the next year, but we tend to be confident there will be progress over the next decade and the next generation.But I think Americans will forgive Obama for striking a somber note; I think they re in a mood to forgive him for almost anything. The stanley cups response to Obama since his victory in November reminds me of the response to John F. Kennedy after his narrower victory in 1960.
