George and Laura Bush's return trip to Zambia

Read into it what you wish. There are both liberal and conservative view points out there. Regardless of party, I think it is disrespectful to the former president. It was also the historical photo accepted as the official White House photo of the event. ...

You think the statute of limitations has run out on GB? The decision to invade Iraq will have repercussions for decades to come. Actions have consequences and this one was the beauty of the century. ...

were honorable men who put their country first in a time of crisis. "Because Republicans have frequently likened President Obama to Jimmy Carter, we were curious to learn how candidate Ronald Reagan responded to the worst foreign policy disaster on Carter’s watch — the failed mission to rescue U.S. diplomats in Iran, resulting in the deaths of eight servicemen. In April 1980, Reagan was still battling George H.W. Bush for the GOP nomination, while Sen. Edward M. Kenned ...

Like many Americans, U.S. presidents often take time off around the holidays. However, according to journalist Joseph Curl, who previously covered the White House, former President George W. Bush went on Christmas vacation in a way that stands in direct contrast to President Barack Obama. “[H]ere’s the thing: In December, we never left Washington, D.C., until the day after Christmas. Never. Mr. Bush and his wife, Laura, would always depart the White House a few days before the holi ...

Bush and then-Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson were responsible for keeping the United States out of a full-scale depression."I keep hearing the president say he's responsible for keeping the country out of a Great Depression," Romney said in front of around 200 people at an American Legion post.

According to interviews and confidential memos obtained by the Washington Post, the Pentagon last year produced — and quickly suppressed — a study that, according to one person familiar with the report, was akin to “[turning] on the light in a very dark room,” revealing $125 billion in waste in its administrative bureaucracy. According to the Post, the Pentagon ordered the Defense Business Board, an outside federal advisory panel made up of corporate executives and consultants from Mc ...

I am planning a day trip to NYC on Saturday, Nov 5th. I have been to NYC many times, mainly with my girlfriends to shop and eat. This year, I would like to take my family, which includes my husband and 3 sons - ages 9 through 14. I'm looking for suggestions as to what to do and see, as I know they would not enjoy shopping the entire day. I had hoped to see the Rockettes, but their show doesn't start until the following Saturday and there's no way to resche ...

I will be turning 60 in July 2013 and I am taking myself on a trip somewhere for about 10 days. Anyone have any suggestions? I do not want to go back to Hawaii or anywhere in Europe. I have a doggie day care at my home so I will have up to $8000 earmarked for a good time. I do not care for hiking or museums or mountains. I do like the water and have been on a cruise in the past. Thought about AmTrack trip somewhere. Suggestions? Anything you have ...

Mind you, they are 22 and 25. They are driving from upstate NY to Long Island to stay with friends and see a concert. Now, each of them has been gone on their own, my son's been to the other end of the country on both a plane and train. I think my problem with this trip is that they're together in his car. I have these visions of a crash and losing both of them at the same time. I know - silly, right? Yes, I know it. But a mom worries. ...

Also late is the 2015 990 tax return for the former president’s charity. The Clinton Foundation pledges on its website that “for maxi ...

Does this seem a little off to you? On Monday the class made tye-dye shirts, which are supposed to be worn on Friday for a field trip. Okay. Fine. Now we, the parents, are being told that the shirts will not be sent home prior to the trip and the children will be required to change shirts in school prior to leaving for the trip. Why? Why on earth won't they send the shirts home Thursday? I have a little girl and I am very uncomfortable with the fact ...

It was their 5th wedding anniversary and they went to Cuba, which is against the law; but, of course, they got away with breaking the law. According to the Treasury Dept. spokesperson, they were on a "cultural exchange." Getting away with breaking the law by friends or family of our esteemed President again and again seems to be a habit. How much more is this administration going to thumb their noses at, and/or break the laws of, our country? ...

leave my house key with her just in case. I have animals here at home and my husband is home like every other day as far as the watering and feeding things. She and I basically share "her" cat. She lets him be an inside/outside wanderer and he comes to my house and gets treats. I have talked with her occasionally over the years, never visited in her home, she has been in mine once. She is a part-time RN in NICU here at one of our close by hospitals so pretty responsible. I would love to be a ...

Secretary of Labor Hilda Solis has stepped down. The first Latina to lead a federal agency, Solis joined the Obama administration back in 2009 after representing California in the House of Representatives.

She calls her departure “one of the most difficult decisions” she has made. “Growing up in a large Mexican-American family in La Puente, Cali ...

http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503544_162-20021841-503544.html Earlier this week, the Press Trust of India reported that the United States will "be spending a whopping $200 million per day on President Barack Obama's visit" to Mumbai. The story lacked a named source, and the $200 million claim was credited to "a top official of the Maharashtra Government privy to the arrangements for the high-profile visit." The claim quickly gained traction on the right, thanks in part to a lin ...

or more. “Obama’s Paris junket is another example of wasteful and unnecessary presidential travel that abuses the taxpayers, the military, and the U.S. Secret Service”...

Allegheny River, talking to Hromadik and others like him. I have cowered under the covers long enough. Denial does no one any good. Donald Trump is going to put his left hand on the Bible in a couple weeks and repeat the oath of office administered by Chief Justice John Roberts. I do not live in Donald Trump’s America, but I aim to learn from those who do. I’ve rented a sturdy car. I’ve enlisted a wingman with serious driving chops. And I’ve pointed myself west to the land Trump found ...

"The Israelis called off their trip because their British army hosts could not guarantee they would not be arrested, the Israeli officials said, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter," the ...

When Sarah Palin took us on a hunting/camping trip with her dad Chuck Heath on the latest episode of Sarah Palin's Alaska, she said hunting was necessary to "fill her freezer!" Hunting for caribou means “food on the table and in the freezer for a lot of Alaskans,” the former Govenor extolled. She opened her freezer to let us see how the Palin meat pantry was getting bare. “For many people in remote areas of Alaska, there’s no grocery store nearby, we just g ...
