Obama Administration Steers Chrysler Into Bankruptcy
Struggling Detroit automaker Chrysler lost its fight to stay out of bankruptcy today as the Obama administration failed to broker a deal with Chrysler creditors, sending one of America’s Big Three car companies into chapter 11.

The flap over South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford’s politicized decision to refuse nearly $1 billion in economic stimulus funds from the Obama administration on the grounds of “fiscal responsibility” continues to make headlines.

Kicking off a day of celebration for what the White House had previously dismissed as a media-driven “Hallmark holiday,” President Obama marked his 100th day in office by holding a large town hall in suburban St. Louis that was eerily reminiscent of his presidential campaign events.
The president remarked on the amount of “progress” he and […]
Moderate GOPer Snowe Decries Conservative “Umbrella,” Defends Specter
Maine Republican Senator Olympia Snowe added to the moderate pile-on of the GOP today with a critical op-ed in the New York Times that defends her colleague Arlen Specter’s decision to join the Democratic Party and lambastes the conversion of the Republican “big tent” into a conservative “umbrella” for only a “select few.”
