Obama State of the Union: He got the ball rolling SHARE
In some ways last night's State of the Union address by President Obama was a virtuoso performance. There were stirring moments, memorable turns of phrase, humor, a defense of activist government, and proposals that will be welcomed, and surely help, millions of people in need.

Honduras Military Coup Engineered By 2 US Companies? SHARE
