...take issue with that we have elected officials in Washington, either Democrat or Republican, that think homeland security or national security is ad hoc. Everyone has to be an American first. Everyone has to support national security. If that means hurting cranberry pickers in Washington State or automakers in Detroit or constituents in Arizona, you don't get to pick and choose when it comes to keeping us safe from terrorists. The political system in Washington has made it impossible for our elected officials to serve the people. They're not looking out for our interest. They're looking...
Alan Mulally has no experience building cars. He isn't well known in Detroit, having spent more than three decades in Seattle as an engineer and senior executive with Boeing. Up until yesterday, when he was named CEO of Ford Motor Co., replacing Bill Ford, he drove a Lexus - a plush ride, to be sure, but not a car you'd drive to Lions football games as a Motown exec.

...would even hint that they aren't up to the job. But Bill Ford never appeared all that comfortable running his namesake company. An avowed environmentalist, he tried unsuccessfully to turn Ford into a green car leader and was forced to backtrack as the company's finances fizzled.

In an interview last winter with TIME, he acknowledged that he found the CEO's role confining at times. And it has been clear for some time...
...more recent disappointing U.S. squads, which is amazing considering all we heard after Athens about constructing a team with the right NBA players - not necessarily just the best. You can't win while shooting 32% from three-point range, which the U.S. did against Greece. Where was Detroit's Richard Hamilton, who shot 46% from three-point range this year, tops in the NBA? What about Kyle Korver of Philadelphia? He doesn't do anything else, really, but shoot threes, but that's OK. We could use him. The Americans did not bring a single top-30 three-point shooter...
...example, Muslim women and children beg on the streets and in the subways. And for blocks along the Avenue de Stalingrad, scores of cafés and stores are crowded with Muslim men--and no women. The only comparable sight in the U.S. might be in certain neighborhoods of Detroit and nearby Dearborn, Mich. But that would be the exception. American Muslims tend to be university-educated professionals living in the suburbs...
