White House: Simple vote on health care

The White House called for a “simple up-or-down” vote on health care legislation Sunday as Speaker Nancy Pelosi appealed to House Democrats to get behind President Barack Obama’s chief domestic priority even it if threatens their political careers. In voicing support for a simple majority vote, White House health reform director Nancy-Ann DeParle signaled Obama’s intention to push the Democratic-crafted bill under Senate rules that would overcome GOP stalling tactics.

Obama making Oval Office his own

Tourists enjoy White House breakfast

It wasn’t a state dinner, and they didn’t crash it on purpose. Still, a Georgia couple who showed up at the White House a day early for a tour somehow wound up at an invitation-only breakfast with President Barack Obama and the first lady. It left the White House once again explaining how people who were not on an event guest list wound up being ushered into the presidential mansion anyway.

Election victories useless if we lose our way of life

Finally, some transparency from the Obama White House. I refer to see-through efforts to affect nonchalance about Tuesday’s elections in which Republicans made gains unthinkable just a year ago. No, of course President Barack Obama wouldn’t be watching election returns, both White House spokesman Robert Gibbs and senior aide David Axelrod told the media in advance. Wasn’t there a Chicago Bulls game on that night?

A coup for lobbyists at the White House

Honduran President Manuel Zelaya, ousted in the middle of the night just over a month ago, enjoys global support for his return, with the exception of the Obama White House. While Barack Obama first called the Honduran military’s removal of Zelaya a coup, his administration has backpedaled. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton called Zelaya’s attempt to cross the Nicaraguan border into Honduras “reckless.” Could well-placed lobbyists in Washington be forging U.S. foreign policy?
