OBAMA'S WILLINGNESS TO COMPROMISE HAS COST HIM DEARLY
Cynthia Tucker – Mon Oct 18, 10:18 am ETWASHINGTON -- Amplified by the right-wing message machine, Republicans paint President Obama as an unyielding left-winger, an unreconstructed liberal who refuses to compromise. The president's critics have turned the truth inside out: One of Obama's greatest political weaknesses has been his stubborn -- and unrequited -- love for bipartisanship. Full Story »

Revoking 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell'
associatedcontent – 1 hr 2 mins agoOn Oct. 12, a U.S. federal judge ordered the Pentagon to cease enforcing the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" (DADT) policy, which prohibits homosexuals from openly serving in the U.S. military. With some prominent military leaders, such as Admiral Mike Mullen and retired General Colin Powell, supporting President Obama's call to ultimately end the Pentagon's 17-year-old policy, it appears increasingly likely that homosexuals will soon be able to openly serve.
