US President Barack Obama US President Barack Obama says America is witnessing its worst economic downturn since the Great Depression of the 1930s, and blamed political wrangling for the worsening of the crisis. “There is no doubt that we have gone through an extraordinary period in world history. We had the worst recession since the 1930s here in the United States,” Obama said in an interview... 

US President Barack Obama US President Barack Obama’s approval rating has hit an all-time low as there seems to be no end in sight to the country’s debt ceiling impasse. According to a Gallup poll on Friday, only 40 percent of respondents said they approved of Obama’s job performance, leaving the president’s rank at its lowest ever. The incumbent US president also received a... 

There are so many things wrong with the alleged “long form” of Barak Obama’s birth certificate, that Alex Jones has temporarily concluded that this whole “birther” thing has all been contrived to serve as a distraction or side show from real issues. “They couldn’t possibly think we’re this stupid.” My response to Alex Jones is, “9/11 is also... 

A reported willingness by the White House to vote for the creation of a Palestinian state in the UN signals unprecedented trust issues with Netanyahu’s government and will likely exacerbate US-Israeli relations. US President Barack Obama announced a decision to recognise the creation of a Palestinian state within the 1967 borders, adding that the US will vote as such in the United Nations, reported... 

Donald Trump gets tough on China, Iran, and Iraq. He would take all Iraq’s oil so the US would get something in return for spending more than $1 trillion in the war and for having thousands of US soldiers killed in the war. He said he would share the oil with other NATO members who participated in the war against the Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein. Like most candidates, Mr. Trump would also... 

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad blasted the US administration for its deceitful policies, and warned that US President Barack Obama will have to face an end far more embarrassing than what his predecessor, George W. Bush, encountered. Speaking at a press conference here in Tehran on Monday, President Ahmadinejad stated that the capitalist system sough to save itself and its main base in the... 

Not a warm welcome: The Obamas arrive in Brasilia today for a visit to promote trade links. Barack Obama’s visit to Brazil had a very unpromising start after police had to quell riots against the U.S. in Rio de Janeiro with rubber bullets and tear gas. The U.S. President landed in the capital of Brasilia with his wife and daughters, visiting the country on a mission to re-assert trade links with... 

Even the Washington Post describes it like something out of Orwell’s 1984. The FCC has approved a presidential alert system. Obama may soon appear on your television or call your cell phone to warn you about the next specious al-Qaeda underwear bombing event. Commissioners voted last week to require television and radio stations, cable systems and satellite TV providers to participate in a test...

It sounded conciliatory, even friendly, brimming with the outward trappings of a shift to the center, but President Barack Obama’s 2011 State of the Union speech was, at its core, an unmistakably partisan challenge to congressional Republicans. Obama, facing a chamber full of Democrats and Republicans mingling together in a show of bipartisan comity, began by telling the new GOP majority in the... 

Obama will have to produce birth certificate to run again. It could be a game-changer. A plan in Arizona to require presidential candidates to prove their eligibility to occupy the Oval Office is approaching critical mass, even though it has just been introduced. The proposal from state Rep. Judy Burges, who carried a similar plan that fell short last year only because of political maneuvering, was... 

Lang Lang, a Chinese pianist, plays the piano at the White House on Jan. 19, 2011. The music he is playing is the theme song from an anti-American propaganda movie about the Korean War. US humiliated in eyes of Chinese by song used to inspire anti-Americanism. From the beginning of his Presidency, Barack Obama has been criticized for bowing to foreign heads of state. But those missteps are nothing... 

The headline is not meant to imply that I think he will. As things are he can’t because of the stranglehold on American policy for Israel/Palestine of the Zionist lobby and its stooges in Congress, the mainstream media and many institutions of state including the Pentagon and intelligence agencies. My purpose is only to offer an answer to this question: What could happen if President Obama was able... 

President Obama tonight endorsed building an Islamic community center and mosque a few blocks from the site of the 9/11 attacks in New York City, saying that “Muslims have the right to practice their religion” just like anyone else. “That includes the right to build a place of worship and a community center on private property in lower Manhattan, in accordance with local laws and ordinances,”... 

Well, we wondered who would be the first public figure to call Barack Obama “the worst president in history” — an appellation applied to most White House occupants at one time or another. We just didn’t think it would be Dan Quayle’s son. Ben Quayle, 33, who is seeking the Republican nomination for a U.S. House seat in Arizona, has cut a commercial denouncing Obama, as...
