It’s pretty clear that the American people want to boot Bush & Co. out of the Whitehouse. Barack Obama’s message of change absolutely resonated in Iowa, stunning the country with an astounding win. Even on the Republican side, the insurgent who criticized the President’s “bunker mentality” beat the corporate Bush-apologist in Iowa. Change has been the recurring theme of this campaign so far.

It’s the end of the year and a good time to take stock of what we’ve accomplished over the last year. What were you hoping the Democratically-controlled Senate would have accomplished in 2007?

During WWII the US government embarked on a secret project to counter the weapons development that was already underway in Nazi Germany for an atomic bomb. This project (called the Manhattan Project) was deemed important to the long term survivability of our nation and our way of life (rightly so, I might add).  Multiple universities, government laboratories and private sector businesses participated on pieces of the project, not knowing how it all came together. It worked. It not only created a weapon, but the offshoot of new technologies that came from the project

As Governor George W. Bush ran for President in 2000, reporters and pundits trotted out sound-bite versions of a lesson students have been taught about Texas for years: Compared to the U.S. President or the chief executives of other states, the Texas Governor occupies a "weak" office.

A few days after my family enjoyed watching "Happy Feet", my nine yr. old reminded me that global warming was "supposed to melt the glaciers and all the beauty". Now while I am impressed that the educational system is doing its job and making the children aware of real issues that will affect their lifestyles.

I am concerned that our leadership is not as proactive with environmental legislation as is needed. I would prefer that our children would not have to worry, because they knew the adults were taking care of these crucial matters.

A majority (61 percent) of working Americans said in a November 2002 survey conducted for American Express that they were experiencing moderate to high levels of financial stress, and one-quarter believed their financial stress had gotten worse in the last 18-24 months.

Iraq's closest neighbors gathered Friday in Riyadh to forge a common goal for the post-Saddam Hussein era and push for an immediate withdrawal of coalition troops from the country.

Also at the gathering, hosted by Saudi Arabia, are foreign ministers from Bahrain, Egypt, Iran, Jordan, Kuwait and Turkey.
