...effort, perhaps because according to a Rasmussen survey, that's a concept that only one-third of Americans support. Nor did he say how much the new programs would cost. He gave few details of how they would be paid for, and he never explained when the plan would go into effect. As he has done in the past, the President is leaving most of those details to Democrats in Congress, who are likely to split up his requests into separate measures over the coming months. Obama wants about $50 billion in new spending on roads and bridges...
...credit remains scarce, unemployment hovers above 10%, commercial real estate is crashing, home foreclosures are rising, and many state and local governments are teetering on the brink of insolvency.

"They know they can trust me, and trust is a big issue," he said. "There is the stigma of being gay, but also the stigma of being [HIV] positive. They are such hidden communities. Nobody wants to deal with their problems...
...embassy in Kampala has said it opposes the bill, as have other American officials. Even Scott Lively recently declared that the bill's proposed prescriptions go too far. Rick Warren, however, seems to be avoiding tackling the subject directly. Although he cut ties with Ssempa, the popular preacher released a statement to Newsweek saying, "It is not my personal calling as a pastor in America to comment or interfere in the political process of other nations." That position irks the Rev. Kaoma, who is an Anglican pastor. Warren, he says, has immense influence among Uganda's political élite, counting...
