...next day at Saddleback's Sunday services, Warren tried to reclaim his postpartisan reputation, telling his congregants that he would not endorse a presidential candidate nor tell anyone whom he was going to vote for. But that same day, he gave an interview to Naomi Schaeffer Riley of the Wall Street Journal that left very few questions about his leanings. The Democratic Party's new platform calling for a reduction in the abortion rate was, he said, "window dressing" and "too little, too late." When Riley asked Warren about some of Obama's Evangelical supporters, he dismissed the significance...
...seems there is virtually no area of transportation that Oberstar isn't intimately familiar with. An avid outdoor biker who speaks fluently the language of his beloved Tour de France, Oberstar had spent a frustrating morning before our interview trying to replace the chain engine on his stationary bike - for the second time. The first burned out after 5,000 miles; the second only made it to 3,000. His conclusion is typically pragmatic: "It's time I just get a new bike...
...When asked in an interview about the greatest revolutionary force, Che Guevara said: “At the risk of seeming ridiculous, let me say that the true revolutionary is guided by a great feeling of love.” Killed in battle, Guevara never got the withered forehead or silvered temple Gardel sang about.

Obama considered a stimulus ranging from $800 billion to $1.3 trillion, he said in an interview with CNBC on Jan. 7. By choosing a stimulus package on the lower end of that range, he avoids a fight with Republicans in the senate. Instead, Democrats like Sen. John Kerry and Sen. Kent Conrad have been critical of the bill. Obama wants a bill passed with 80 votes, clear bipartisan support, but that vision has shrunk the bill, rendering it much less effective. As a result, Obama risks alienating his Democratic base. Many Democratic senators have shown clear disapproval about the plan?...
...ideal focus of infrastructure spending would be green projects that help reduce our addiction to fossil fuels, but there's only so much of that ready to go. Nathaniel Keohane of the Environmental Defense Fund started ticking off his wish list in an interview: $1 billion for homeowners to install energy-efficient windows, $750 million for truckers to use fuel-efficient equipment, $600 million for smart boiler controls. "Still $998 billion to go," he said with a sigh. "Really, I spent time on this, and it's a reach to get to $100 billion." Obama and his team are starting...
