Courtesy the CBS blog Econowatch. The Obama administration appears to have reminded Chrysler about the cost of accepting government bailouts: with federal funds comes federal control. A report this week in Advertising Age said that Chrysler wanted to spend $134 million in advertising over the nine-week duration of its bankruptcy. But Mr. Obama’s auto-industry task…
Outlined in this morning’s Ten News Conference with Jim Taricani and Bill Rappleye. (Thanks to commenter Joe Bernstein for the heads up.) I think [President Obama]’s used an interesting word about this which is empathy and I think that’s a good word. I hope he leans towards someone who is not yet another white male.…
… and not so much a pure, reach-across-the-aisle spirit is the basis for President Obama’s selection of our next ambassador to China, The Corner’s Jay Nordlinger has concluded. I have had a line for some years now: Just as China is a one-party state, America is a one-party state, where China policy is concerned. There…
Remember that big announcement by President Obama earlier this week that got a ton of coverage? Barack Obama praised the health care industry’s promise to cut $2 trillion in costs over 10 years Monday, taking a sharply different course than President Bill Clinton did 16 years ago in an opening bid to overhaul the U.S.…
For the record, Senator Sheldon Whitehouse’s subcommittee hearing on the use of torture and harsh interrogation techniques following the 2001 terror attacks has been chugging along this week. This is necessary to note because one of its potential star witnesses has sucked much of the p.r. oxygen out of the hearing room with her energetic…
… and then sternly point to it like you’re an uninvolved third party. President Barack Obama, calling current deficit spending “unsustainable,” warned of skyrocketing interest rates for consumers if the U.S. continues to finance government by borrowing from other countries. “We can’t keep on just borrowing from China,” Obama said at a town-hall meeting in…
The Senate Judiciary will hear Senator Cote’s e-verify bill this afternoon at the Rise of the Senate in Room 313. Employment is the biggest draw to the United States. Legal immigration is a wonderful thing. But illegal employment encourages illegal immigration. A simple, highly accurate tool, E-Verify discourages illegal employment. E-Verify passed the RI House…
Under Marc’s post concerning the lawsuit filed by former Providence Tax Collector Robert Ceprano against Mayor David Cicilline et al, commenter Damien Baldino observes I don’t know if Richard Bready is a generous contributor to the City, but he is a generous contributor to Mayor Cicilline. Indeed. Richard and Cheryl Bready have made the following…
This is a little confusing. The Obama administration says it may curtail Anglo-American intelligence sharing if the British High Court discloses new details of the treatment of a former Guantanamo detainee. A court filing from the British Foreign Office released recently includes a letter from the U.S. government, identified as the “Obama administration’s communication.” Other…
Further to Justin’s post, the homeless shelter on Prairie Avenue in Providence, one of two in the state required to accept predators, is next to (that would be next to) Edmund W. Flynn Elementary School. As the host city of the other homeless shelter required to accept predators, Cranston is understandably up in arms because…
