Why Democrats Are Dug in on Shutdown Impasse
Wall Street Journal 10/14/2013
The $85 billion of irrational spending cuts going into effect March 1, 2013, originated with Budget Director Jack Lew, says veteran reporter Bob Woodward, of the Washington Post. This is important because dissembiling by the White House on this issue has eroded what little trust remained between Republicans and Democrats in budget negotiations (even though Republicans have also acted improperly), says Woodward.

A phone call from Senator Biden begins the negotiations stalled first between Boehner and Obama, and then stalled between McConnell and Reid. Reid advised Obama to hold out for a better deal. Biden went on the Senate floor to ask if there was someone on the other side willing to dance. At that point Biden consulted Obama and the two decided it was worth a shot. Cantor and 151 Republicans opposed the deal with no spending cuts and McConnell trading higher estate taxes for extending unemployment benefits and postponing cuts. Boehner supported it and the deal passed the House.

Rove: What Obama Is Really Bargaining For
Wall Street Journal 12/12/2012
McConnell's twin goals of regaining Republican control of the Senate and preventing the re-election of Obama. How the debt ceiling plan he has offered fits in with this. His fears that a default on the U.S. debt could hurt Republicans as it did the last time this happened, when Clinton was re-elected. His plan would separate raising the debt ceiling limit from deficit reduction talks.

President Obama, Reinvigorated
New York Times 04/13/2011
We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
