And what I said to Shirley was that the full story she was trying to tell - a story about overcoming our own biases and recognizing ourselves in folks who, on the surface, seem different – is exactly the kind of story we need to hear in America
A group of Republican senators on Wednesday threatened to force changes to the new national health care law unless the Obama administration does more to ensure that federal dollars won't be used to pay for elective abortions.
Even students in those districts that haven’t gotten a grant, they’ve still benefited from the reforms that were initiated
Boustany, who gave the Republican response last fall to President Barack Obama's address to a joint session of Congress during the health care debate, will be in Virginia on Monday for an event with state House Majority Leader Morgan Griffith (R), who is facing Rep.

With just more than three months until Election Day, Republicans remain confident that their unanimous opposition to the law will help them pick up seats in...
This process has sown the seeds of achievement ... It's forced teachers and principals and officials and parents to forge agreements on tough and often uncomfortable issues — to raise their sights and embrace education.
GOP blocks small business bill. Who will get the blame?
And all of you believe, like I do, that when one in three Native American women will be raped in their lifetimes, that is an assault on our national conscience ... It is an affront to our shared humanity.
Although there's argument about the exact numbers, there's little doubt the Obama administration is on track to spend less than planned by either the GHI or the Lantos-Hyde Act of 2008, which renewed PEPFAR and authorized spending $48 billion from 2009 through 2013. Many other donor countries are taking...
Unlike 'No Child Left Behind,' this isn't about labeling a troubled school a failure one day, and throwing up our hands the next.

All I'm asking in return, as a president and as a parent ... is a measure of accountability.

I don’t go tanning-tanning anymore. Obama put a 10 percent tax on tanning. And I feel like he did that intentionally to us. McCain would never put a 10 percent tax on tanning because he’s pale and he would probably wanna be tan. Obama doesn’t have that problem, obviously.
Sometimes a school's problems run so deep that better assessments, higher standards, and a more challenging curriculum aren't enough.
