Until Friday morning, as a group of 20 international volunteers, we didn't have any inkling of what was going on at home. No idea that Hillary Clinton had broken her arm, or how Obama's health-care initiative was going. But as we gathered for breakfast at our orientation site Friday morning, people periodically rushed in, clutching their cell phones, exclaiming, "Michael Jackson died!" —the one piece of news their parents thought important enough to share via text message from the U.S. Suddenly, home felt a whole lot closer...
Each week, regardless of whether the President is on-site, Evergreen Chapel holds nondenominational Christian services open to the nearly 400 military personnel and staff at Camp David, as well as their families. A music director from nearby Hood College coordinates adult and children's choirs (Clinton sang occasionally with the choir when he visited). In December, the kids in the congregation put on a Christmas pageant and the chapel holds a candlelight service on Christmas Eve. The Bush family enjoyed Christmas at Evergreen Chapel so much that they celebrated the holiday there for all eight years of Bush...
That means Obama is still looking for someone he can pray with and turn to for spiritual guidance. George W. Bush and Bill Clinton stayed in close touch with their hometown pastors after moving to the White House.

...Whatever happens, Sanford's bizarre tango - coming less than a week after another GOP presidential hopeful, Nevada Senator John Ensign, admitted having an extramarital affair with a staffer - is yet another scandalous blow to his party's family-values image. Democrats, as former President Clinton and more recently former North Carolina Senator John Edwards proved, are hardly immune to these disasters. But Sanford, a conservative Christian, has long portrayed himself as a model family man devoted to his wife of 20 years and their four sons. While he asked for his state's forgiveness, his hypocrisy and that of many...
...issue they hate talking about. Even the most powerful pro-Israel lobby, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, which opposes public U.S. pressure on Israel, hasn't taken an explicit stance on the settlements dispute. Obama has also surrounded himself with the kind of advisers (Rahm Emanuel, Hillary Clinton and Dennis Ross) and made the kind of symbolic gestures (holding a seder at the White House and condemning Holocaust denial in Cairo) that reassure many American Jews. Historically, Israel's American supporters have used their strength in Congress to box Presidents in a corner. But when Netanyahu came to Washington...
