- President Obama's Moms To Return To College Grant Program Really Works
By: Michael Kohler | - One of the most important aspects of the new stimulus package created by President Barack Obama and Joe Biden is the American opportunity tax credit. This fully refundable credit ensures that the first $4000 of any college education will be absolutely free for most Americans. Here are a few tips on how this tax credit can help single moms get back to college and finish that degree.
The idea that any person would want to go back to college after they have left the college scene for ...

- Obama Claus To The Rescue
By: Steve Yeich | - As I was walking through Wal-Mart the other day I couldn't help but notice that the holiday season is upon us. Unfortunately, for many people this year Christmas will not be the same. And by that I mean that since Obama was elected President, to the poor, the crooks, criminals, people in Congress, (but I repeat myself) the needy, illegal aliens, CEO's of large corporations, and every other sort of victimy type person, every day is now Christmas. If you are looking for a handout then Obama is ...

- Stimulating The Economic Numbers
By: Ki Gray | - Statistics can be tricky. It all depends on who is doing the math and for what purpose. The latest report on how many jobs can be attributed to the workings of the stimulus package is a perfect case in point. The Obama Administration came out at the end of October with the announcement that the stimulus package has created 650,000 jobs.
To give the government credit, it didn't just pull that number out of a hat. The Recovery, Accountability, and Transparency Board (RATB) is an ...

By: Leah L Burton | - Last week my friend Mikey Weinstein filed a law suit in Dallas, Texas naming both he and his wife as plaintiffs in a land mark case against religious extremism. I am honored to have been asked by Mikey to do what I can to help in his efforts to shed light on the practice of imprecatory prayer and the dangers that lie within them.

- Tour The District's Magnificent Buildings In A Day
By: Alona Rudnitsky | - Washington D.C. is considered the "seat of power" for our country. And while most of the "power spots" -- including the White House and Capitol -- are grouped together around the National Mall, there are other sites around the city that just can not be missed! Whether you are just visiting D.C. or you are a resident wanting to get to know the city you live in -- a fun and stress-free way to see all that the district has to offer would be to hire a D.C. Limousine to take you from the mall to oth ...

- Employment Numbers Of Last August
By: Cecily | - On Sep 4, secretary of Labor Hilda L. Solis issued the August 2009 Employment Situation report, on which, she stated that during past August, the economy lost 216,000 jobs, fewer than what most experts expected. Now the overall unemployment rate is 9.7 percent.
Since this administration took office, the economy had been losing average 700,000 jobs every month, so the job loss of last month is an improvement, but is still by no means acceptable, said Hilda L. Solis, "These ...

- Can America's Middle Class Be Saved? (ii) He That Giveth Can Also Taketh Away
By: Thomas Belvedere | - Vice-President Biden called the middle class the "backbone" of America.
We agree. The middle class reconciles and moderates other classes.
Biden is in charge of a task force to get the middle class "up and running again."
We agree that the middle class is weakening. One indicator: its share of the national income pie fell from 52.1% in 1975, to 46.0% in 2006.(1)

Biden created a task force "to get the middle class -- the backbone of this country -- up and running again."

By: Clive Sexton | - When the book is written on [the US presidential election], it should not be titled The Making of a President, but The Marketing of a President, says Harvard Business School Professor John Quelch. Barack Obamas campaign is a case study in marketing excellence.
As Quelch says, for an inexperienced, single-term, African-American senator tagged with the most liberal voting record, to defeat the heir apparent in his own party and then go on to hold off the much-vau ...

Last month, he declared in Denver, "The president and I have set a very basic and measurable goal that we'll be held to...[W]hen middle-class incomes begin to grow, and when people aspiring to the middle class get a shot to become part of it -- that's the measure."

- Why Some People Approve Of Joe Biden
By: Tristan Andrews | - Biden is liked by people that want to be tough on crime, if they know that he wrote the Violent Crime control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994. The bill enlarged the span of crimes that are punishable by the death penalty. Though they would like him even more if he hadn't voted contrary to limiting appeals for capitol cases. People that agree that drug offenders shouldn't be put in prison find his stance appealing. These are usually people that think marijuana smokers shouldn't be put in jail.

- Joe Biden Losing Approval Rating
By: Tristan Andrews | - A recent poll by Pew Research Center determined that Joe Biden isn't as popular as Cheney during July of 2001. Of those surveyed 49% stated they had gotten a bad impression of Biden.

- How Vice President Joe Biden Dealt With Grief
By: Abel Keogh | - On November 7, 1972 a relatively unknown lawyer named Joe Biden pulled off a big political upset. By just over 3,000 votes he defeated two-term incumbent U.S. Senator J. Caleb Boggs and, at age 30, became the sixth youngest Senator in U.S. history.

- The Impact Of Recent World Crisis On Travel Industry
By: N. Nikolis | - The travel industry is influenced by the crisis in the economy worldwide. The soaring price of crude oil led to increased cost for airlines, trains, cruise lines, and bus lines. The travel industry had no option but to pass on their increased costs to consumers in the form of higher ticket prices. This was at the same time that consumers had less discretionary income for travel. Even though the price of oil has dropped tremendously, the airlines still predict multi-million dollar losses in 2009 ...

By: Bob Alexander | - At the beginning of this vicious presidential race I complained that there wasn't a lot of difference in the two candidates, John McCain for the Republican Party and Barack Obama, a Democrat.

Since they both officially became their party's nominee for president, a lot has occurred to change my mind about ...

- The Violence Against Women Act - A Powerful Solution Or Vigilantism
By: Scarlette McCallum | - Senator Joseph Biden just announced his bid for the presidency; a candidacy that will no doubt be embraced by the powerful domestic violence lobby. As sponsor of the Violence against Women Act (VAWA), Senator Biden has championed the cause of eradicating domestic violence and aligned himself with a very powerful feminist special interest. For a Democrat in the Senate, championing this cause is a political no-brainer. The question is will he risk the benefits of this political gravy train to admi ...
