Glad to see the Illinois media doing its' job after the Lt. Gov'r mess. Make it plain, John. Still waiting for the national MSM to do its' job.

Church doesn't need this cross to bear :: CHICAGO SUN-TIMES :: John W. Fountain
"It is the apparent widespread infection of materialism within the Christian church in America -- a church that appears cloaked in prosperity yet at times fails to address people desperately in need beyond the church's walls."
Make it plain.

"Bush had this right. In his first year in office, he was using recess appointments and running major legislation through the reconciliation process. That normalized those moves for the rest of his administration. Using those tools wasn't a story. The Obama White House, by contrast, is holding those moves in reserve, which has allowed Republicans to paint them as extraordinary measures. But they're not extraordinary measures. They're basic elements of governance in an era of polarization and procedural obstructionism, and the White House should treat them that way."
What has happened to PBO's ability to get things done? They knew early on the Republicans were playing hardball, and they've come up through Illinois politics and a national campaign that weren't for the squeamish. They seem to have forgot how to do what they need to do, imho.
