He has reduced the prison sentences of 79 federal inmates. He has handed out the nation's highest civilian honor to 21 people who he said personally made an impact on his life.

President Obama will meet behind closed doors Wednesday morning with congressional Democrats to map out a strategy to defend the Affordable Care Act and other health care policies - the very day Republicans will begin debate on getting rid of the sweeping 2010 health-care law.

Obamacare has done nothing for us. Prices are through the roof. its not affordable at all. You cant keep your health insurance company. They tell you who you have. Drugs are more expensive. We need a full repeal and replace!

Maybe Obamacare has ruined things in our country but there is also a lot of positive things it has done.

"President Obama waived a provision of federal law designed to prevent the supply of arms to terrorist groups to clear the way for the U.S. to provide military assistance to "vetted" opposition groups fighting Syrian dictator Bashar Assad."

President Barack Obama phoned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday, pledging future consultations with the U.S. ally regarding the nuclear deal made between Iran and six major powers that Israel opposes on Saturday. The White House announced the call while Obama was aboard Air Force One en route to Seattle, Wash.

US President Barack Obama Only days after clearing Congress, US President Barack Obama signed his name to H.R. 347 on Thursday, officially making it a federal offense to cause a disturbance at certain political events - essentially criminalizing protest in the States. RT broke the news last month that H.R.

(CNN) -- President Barack Obama will address the country Wednesday to explain to the nation "what our game plan is going forward" in the fight against ISIS. In an interview that aired Sunday on NBC's "Meet the Press," Obama expressed confidence that the United States, with help from regional partners, will be able to wipe out the terror organization.

Washington (CNN) -- It was a speech that Barack Obama -- a war-stopping, Nobel Peace Prize-winning President -- never wanted to give. A year after he pulled back from threatened military attacks on Syria over chemical weapons, Obama told America he now would launch airstrikes against ISIS targets in the country wracked by civil war.

"President Barack Obama commuted the prison sentences of 61 people who were serving time for drug offenses, the White House announced Wednesday, furthering his push to reform what he sees as overzealous sentencing laws."

I like this because there are people who are committing more serious crimes like rape, etc. and people are wasting spaces in the jail because of their drug offenses that could of been minor and didn't involve violence or anything.

"The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday refused a request by the Trump administration and the telecommunications industry to wipe away a lower court decision that had upheld Obama-era net neutrality rules aimed at ensuring a free and open internet, though the justices' action does not undo the 2017 repeal of the policy."

"But in Iowa, where Trump won 31 counties that Barack Obama once carried, the question of electability looms large. That statistic -- Iowa had more Obama-to-Trump counties than any state in the country"

Very good breakdown of each candidate and the issues that they disagree on, money they've spent, etc.

Obama seems to have a lot more support then Romney money wise. I wonder if that is going to have an outcome on the election, or if bigger the more wealthy just support Obama, even though Romney is the one saying not to Tax them. This is very interesting to me.

Less than two weeks after Barack Obama won his re-election campaign, protesters gathered Sunday to call on the president and his administration to reject the proposed Keystone XL tar sands pipeline, and to act on climate change.

as long as the pipe doesn't contaminate any water supplies I don't see a problem with it

I find that there are two different sides to this story and for the most part both is good but one is better. The global temperature will be constantly going up no matter how green and organic America will be. There are other countries that are not able to contribute to going green. I find that the Keystone pipeline would be a good mission to strive for because of the state of America. We are not going to be the top of the line forever and maybe just maybe this project will keep us on the top longer.

"President Barack Obama on Wednesday proposed background checks on all gun sales and bans on military style assault weapons and high-capacity magazines as part of a package of steps to reduce gun violence in the wake of the Newtown school massacre last month."

No matter what you do to regulate guns, the person that wants to rampage a bunch of people is going to do whatever they can to get a hold of a gun.

"The White House is downplaying its draft proposal as merely a backup plan if lawmakers don't come up with an immigration overhaul of their own. It won't be necessary, Republican and Democratic lawmakers alike are telling the Obama administration."

Analysis of election factors points to Romney win, University of Colorado study says

Romney might be projected to win but you never know what's going to happen until it does.... and everyone says Obama is destroying the country but how can you destroy something that has was already in war and destroyed when you got it? it takes a long time for repair and if we keep switching presidents we will never give any of them enough time to fix the U.S

I think that president Obama will win the reelection because all the past presidents have always been reelected if they have not resigned.

This SotU address will be the most important one Obama has given to date. Laying out the blueprint for the rest of this term will play a major factor in the campaign for the presidency again

I would encourage everyone to peek in (it will be on the major network stations) @ 8:00pm our time. Certainly all the media outlets will be dissecting his speech by this time tomorrow!
