Will He Be Trump's Friend Or Foe
... And if Justice Anthony Kennedy, the court's swing vote, retires while Trump is president, Roberts could become the court's least reliable conservative. "It does put him in a position where he can have a lot of influence, not only because he's chief justice, but because of where he sits on the court," Gorod says. Supreme Court justices serve lifetime appointments, so their tenure usually traverses several presidencies. For Roberts, the billionaire real estate magnate will be his third — following George W. Bush, who named him chief justice, and Obama, who voted against him in the Senate. Roberts cut a modest figure before the Senate Judiciary Committee when making his case in September 2005. "It's my job to call balls and strikes, and not to pitch or bat," he assured lawmakers. The Senate rewarded him with a 78-22 confirmation vote, a better percentage than the justices who have followed. His eight-year relationship with Obama began on a low note, when Roberts botched the oath of office before more than 1.8 million people who crowded the National Mall. To prevent a far-fetched challenge to Obama's ...

Bush and President Obama in January 2009. Rochon said he watched from the North Portico as the Bushes' limousine pulled away from the White House for the final time with Bush serving as commander in chief.

America's First 'muslim President
... his childhood in Indonesia ran the US as president and commander-in-chief. And, all this while, nearly one-third of the country thought he was a Muslim. Instead of being a cause for concern, this gives me a small sense of joy. Barack Obama’s skin color, his Arabic middle name, his alleged Muslim-ness did not deter American voters from making him the second-most powerful, influential person in the nation. (First place is forever occupied by Oprah.) Instead, millions of Americans voluntarily voted for a man who was widely believed to be Muslim. Obama’s characteristics made him an enduring symbol, a beacon for millions of kids, like I once was. Our “ethnic otherness” made us question whether or not America would ever accept us as something more than a sidekick, the token minority, the “best ethnic friend” and instead invite us to take center stage and embrace the spotlight as the leading protagonist of ...
Was Obama A Good Jobs President
... - saving hundreds of thousands of jobs. The White House also pushed job-training programs that better coordinated efforts among industry, community colleges and state and local officials; supplied grants and other funds for apprenticeships; and established a national public-private network to promote innovation in manufacturing, among other programs. Apprenticeships: "College without the debt". After losing more than 2 million jobs in the recession – which accelerated a decades-long trend – manufacturers have added 822,000 jobs since early 2010. “I think (Obama) did a very good job in laying a foundation for manufacturing in America,” says Scott Paul, president of the Alliance for American Manufacturing. At the same time, he says, the administration could have acted earlier in taking a tough stance toward China’s currency manipulation and in challenging its dumping of products in the U. S. at below-market prices. Meanwhile, Republicans branded Obama a job killer for imposing too many regulations and ...

One Habit Trump Says He Will Keep As President
... to communicate his views, including his sometimes scathing opinions of rivals. Since winning the November election he has delivered a steady stream of tweets - often focused on countering critics. He has had a contentious relationship with some prominent U. S. news organization that he refers to derisively as the "mainstream media," banning some news outlets during the presidential campaign and publicly criticizing individual reporters. Trump's team had discussed moving news conferences out of the small West Wing briefing room to the Old Executive Office Building, which is part of the White House complex, incoming White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus said Sunday on ABC. "The press went crazy, so I said, 'Let's not move it.' But some people in the press will not be able to get in," Trump told Fox in the interview broadcast on Wednesday. "We have so many people that want to go in so we'll have to just have to pick the people to go into the room - I'm sure other people will be thrilled about that," he said. "But we offered a much larger room because we ...

Barrow was declared the winner of the Dec. 1 election and at first was congratulated by Jammeh in a phone call aired on state television. But once it was suggested that Jammeh could face criminal charges linked to his long rule, he backtracked and challenged the vote in court, alleging irregularities.
