...that he is not averse to working with those outside the establishment. The Huffington Post's readers are likelier to be younger, leftier and more politically engaged than most of the consumers of the old-school media outlets, so it's also a way of reaching straight into his base. Stein's question was whether Obama would consider instituting a Truth and Reconciliation Committee for Republicans - similar to the one established after apartheid in South Africa - as had been suggested earlier that day by Vermont Senator Patrick Leahy.

GM has already signaled its intention to cut additional employees and, based on the rate of the drop in its sales, Chrysler will be forced to eviscerate its employment base further...

He recently decided not to renew the U.S. lease at Ecuador's Manta air base (although, ironically, he said Saturday he would grant U.S. planes limited use of the base at Quito's discretion). Last year he defaulted on some $3 billion of Ecuador's $10 billion foreign debt, saying the loans had been contracted "immorally and illegitimately" a generation ago when the nation...
