Obama v GOP
If you didn't watch the back and forth on Friday between President Obama and Republicans in the Congress, you missed some really good political TV, no matter what side you're on right now. The venue was a gathering in Baltimore of House Republicans, who had invited the President to speak ...
NASA Takes Its Lumps
Over the years, it has been somewhat painful to cover the happenings at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, better known as NASA. There has been tragedy, all kinds of cool stuff, and then at budget time, a feeling sometimes of slow death. That feeling goes both ways - towards the various ...
The Historical Tables
As the new budget plan from the Obama Administration comes out today, it brings back old memories of my early days as a reporter in Washington, D.C., with an event that still gets repeated. Reporters from all around the city will line up at the Government Printing Office about seven ...
The Obama Budget

Obama Weekend
The White House Pool Report from Saturday afternoon has a funny scene in it, as President Obama is watching the Duke-Georgetown basketball game, when a cheer goes up that wasn't fit for all. This report was filed by Charles Hurt, Washington Bureau Chief of the New York Post. Don't forget that ...

The Power of Sixty
Lots of people have been surprised to find out in recent days that Sen. Elect Scott Brown (R-MA) is still just the Senator-Elect, and not yet a voting member of the U.S. Senate. That delay was a good thing for Democrats this week. With Brown saying he does not expect ...
The Hand of Bipartisanship
One maxim of politics in the almost 30 years that I have been around the Congress is that it is always easy to urge the other party to be bipartisan, but not that easy to actually forge a deal between the two sides on major issues of the day. And ...
Obama v SCOTUS
There was a lot of discussion in the hallways of the Congress the day after the State of the Union Address about President Obama's jab at the U.S. Supreme Court over a recent decision on campaign finance limits. Video of Justice Samuel Alito appeared to show him verbally objecting to ...
Small Business Tax Plan
The White House has released details of a small business tax break that will be included in President Obama's budget, which is due out on Monday. Mr. Obama will tout this plan during a Friday visit to Baltimore. This information was provided by the White House in a release on ...
Obama & Health Care
If President Obama was looking for his State of the Union Address to change the dynamic on health care reform, there did not seem to be any immediate payoff for the White House on that front, as both sides stayed in their partisan corners. There was no deadline for action, ...
The Obama Speech
The 2010 State of the Union Address from President Obama probably won't be talked about in textbooks in another 50 years or so, but it did give some interesting insights into the decisions of the President on what might cure his recent political troubles. The President noted the economic troubles ...
The Mosh Pit
After the State of the Union Address, many lawmakers rush just down to the hall to the Old House Chamber, now known as Statuary Hall, where dozens of reporters and TV cameras are camped out, all breathlessly waiting for off-the-cuff reaction to the President's remarks. The first lawmakers cut out ...

State Of The Union II
One thing that I thought about the other day was the "You lie!" outburst of Rep. Joe Wilson (R-SC) during the President's health care speech last September. Will Republicans be on their best behavior tonight, or will someone else seize the moment to castigate Mr. Obama? It's hard to imagine ...
State of the Union
It's time for a Washington, D.C. ritual that doesn't seem to be enjoyed by many people at all, but just about every year we go through it again, as President Obama will address a Joint Session of Congress to give his report on the State of the Union. While this ...
The Clay Pigeon
The arcane procedural tactic known as the "clay pigeon" almost made a comeback on the Senate floor Tuesday, as Republicans came very close to approving a plan to rollback a $245 million budget increase approved last year for the Congress. Pushing the "clay pigeon" again was Sen. Tom Coburn (R-OK), ...
Health Care Rumbles
The plan was pretty simple. Have a health care reform bill done by the State of the Union Address, so that President Obama and Congressional Democrats could bask in the glory of a major legislative accomplishment. That isn't happening today. Instead, no one's quite sure what the President will say ...
