White House says uninvited dinner couple met Obama
Nov 27 05:42 PM US/Eastern

WASHINGTON (AP) - A White House official says the Virginia couple who attended a state dinner without an invitation met President Barack Obama in the receiving line.

Michaele and Tareq Salahi were admitted into Tuesday's dinner for India's visiting prime minister although they were not on the official guest list of more than 300 people. It had been unclear how close they may have gotten to Obama.

Judge Wipes Out Couples Debt to Punish "Bad Bank"

Posted by Defend America on Friday, November 27, 2009 10:49:30 PM

Judge wipes out $500,000 debt to punish 'repulsive' bank


Greg and Diane Horoski’s story may seem familiar. They bought their home before the boom and, when house prices soared, increased their mortgage to finance a small business.

Interest rates rose, health bills poured in, and then the housing market crashed so that they ended up owing thousands of dollars more than their bungalow was worth.

Yesterday they went to court in New York expecting to be thrown out — but instead they emerged with their debt of $500,000 (£300,000) written off and a mortgage-free home.

'Kill the Bills. Do Health Reform Right'

Kill the Bills. Do Health Reform Right
by Charles Krauthammer

WASHINGTON -- The United States has the best health care in the world -- but because of its inefficiencies, also the most expensive. The fundamental problem with the 2,074-page Senate health-care bill (as with its 2,014-page House counterpart) is that it wildly compounds the complexity by adding hundreds of new provisions, regulations, mandates, committees and other arbitrary bureaucratic inventions.

Worse, they are packed into a monstrous package without any regard to each other. The only thing linking these changes -- such as the 118 new boards, commissions and programs -- is political expediency. Each must be able to garner just enough votes to pass. There is not even a pretense of a unifying vision or conceptual harmony.

The result is an overregulated, overbureaucratized system of surpassing arbitrariness and inefficiency. Throw a dart at the Senate tome:

Americans at Odds With Recent Terror Trial Decisions

Majorities would prefer trying 9/11 kingpin in a military court, away from New York

by Lydia Saad

PRINCETON, NJ -- By 59% to 36%, more Americans believe accused Sept. 11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed should be tried in a military court, rather than in a civilian criminal court. Most Republicans and independents favor holding the trial in a military court, while the slight majority of Democrats disagree.


Do You Think It Would Be Better to Hold Khalid Sheikh Mohammed's Trial in a Civilian Criminal Court or a Military Court? Among National Adults and by Political Party Affiliation
