Those who have read my previous post about Reid&#8217;s remarks know that I don&#8217;t see any reason why Reid should resign as Senate majority leader, or even why his remarks should [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday, the blogosphere erupted in a firestorm of controversy over remarks by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) in 2008 that then-presidential candidate Barack Obama was &#8220;light-skinned&#8221; and spoke &#8220;with no Negro dialect.&#8221;
This is the second time in recent weeks that Senator Reid has found himself in hot water over issues relating to slavery and [...]]]></description>

In the U.S., 58% of Republicans either believe that President Barack Obama was not born in the United States, or say that they aren&#8217;t sure.
This, despite the fact that President Obama has a U.S. birth certificate which has been verified by the Republican governor of the state in which he was born.

Judge Sotomayor&#8217;s nomination will inevitably raise the usual issues of politics and legal philosophy, as well as questions about &#8220;identity politics.&#8221; The latter, of course, refers in this context to [...]]]></description>

This move is an early result of the Obama administration&#8217;s determination to engage more fully with the U.N. and other multilateral organizations. It is also a sign that the new U.S. administration has changed, [...]]]></description>
