The Republican presidential
field essentially became set
Tuesday when New Jersey
Gov. Chris Christie (R) ruled
out a last-minute presidential
bid.
“Now that GOP voters know
they can't take Cinderella to

said Mark McKinnon, a Republican strategist who advised
Sen. John McCain’s (R-Ariz.)
2008 presidential campaign.
Although Christie had repeatedly vowed not to run, Republican donors and operatives continued to argue he was the only
person capable of overtaking
President Obama, rectifying
the sputtering economy and
restoring sense to the U.S. fiscal system.

Middle market companies — those with
revenues between $10 million and $1 billion —
are critical to America’s competitiveness. They
have created 41 million jobs and produce
$9 trillion in combined revenues. Yet little is
known about this segment, and even less about
how to help them grow. On October 6, Ohio State
University’s Fisher College of Business and
GE Capital will host the 2011 National Middle
Market Summit to unveil groundbreaking
research on the middle market and begin
a dialogue with hundreds of middle market
CEOs, academics and public policy makers
on how to help this vital part of our economy
grow faster and stronger. While attendance is
by invitation only, GE Capital will be making
the event available by webcast for all who are

House Republicans worry they’ll have
to accept a massive spending measure
By Russell Berman
and Erik Wasson
Frustrated House Republicans
are grappling with the possibility that they will be forced
to swallow the kind of massive spending package many of
them campaigned against when
Democrats were in power.
The House on Tuesday overwhelmingly passed a stopgap
spending bill to carry the federal government through Nov.
18, ending the latest spending
crisis on Capitol Hill.
But with both the House and
Senate woefully behind schedule on passing appropriations
measures for fiscal 2012, lawmakers have only six weeks to
figure out a solution — and few
desirable options.
The Senate has passed just
one of 12 annual appropriations bills, while the House has
passed six. If the two chambers
cannot make significant progress, the most likely fallback
option is to combine the 12 bills
into one omnibus measure.
“I think everybody expects
that,” said Rep. Austin Scott
(Ga.), president of the House
GOP freshman class.
The prospect of signing off on
a bill that could exceed 1,000
pages and appropriate about $1
trillion in federal spending is a
sore subject for Republicans,
particularly the freshmen who
pledged not to vote for legislation too bulky even to read.
“I didn’t vote to create the
debacle and the train wreck
that’s coming,” freshman Rep.
Jeff Landry (R-La.) said. “So
we’ll have to wait to see what
happens.”
Congressional leaders have
yet to decide on a path forward,
and senior appropriators in
both chambers are working feverishly to inch closer. House
Appropriations Committee
Chairman Hal Rogers (RKy.), said he spoke on Tuesday
morning with his Senate counterpart, Daniel Inouye (D-Hawaii).
To avoid combining bills or
another stopgap bill, the House
and Senate would have to agree
upon and pass 12 separate bills.
For now, House leaders have
no plans to move more appropriations bills until they see
what the Senate plans to do.
Rep. Austin Scott (R-Ga.) says it is expected that 12 appropriations bills will be combined into one omnibus measure.
“We demonstrated we were
able to get whatever it is that we
set out to do done. They have
not done a thing,” House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.)
told reporters Monday. “I think
it will all come down to what is
doable in the Senate.”
Neither Cantor nor Speaker
John Boehner (R- Ohio) has
ruled out an omnibus bill.
“We’ve done our best to move
appropriations bills in an open
and regular process. If the Senate fails to do so, we’ll have
to consider other options,”
Boehner spokesman Michael
Steel said Tuesday.
Senate Majority Leader Harry
Reid (D-Nev.) said Monday he
hoped to pass three additional
appropriations bills before the
end of October — those funding
the departments of Agriculture,
Commerce and Transportation.
The Senate GOP conference
is balking at the possibility of
an omnibus package, and appropriators are considering the
possibility of combining the 12
appropriations bills into what
aides have dubbed “minibuses”
— a few bills that would be more
manageable to complete than a
dozen separate measures.
Party leaders made headway
in the 2012 budget process during this summer’s debt-limit
deal, when they agreed to an
overall spending cap of $1.043
trillion. That number formed
the basis for the continuing resolution the House passed Tuesday, despite the opposition of
conservatives who wanted the
GOP to stick with the lower cap
it approved earlier this year in
the House budget.
The conservative defectors are
unlikely to be won over in future appropriations bills based
on the debt-deal cap, leaving
Boehner and Cantor in a potentially weakened position as they
bargain with Democrats.
Democratic and Republican
appropriators are negotiating
over how to divide that $1.043
trillion number into 12 pie slices. “Before we do anything, we
have got to settle that. We have
to all be talking on the same level,” Rogers said.
He added that the House has
proposed allocations based
on the $1.043 trillion ceiling
but the Senate has yet to agree.
Inouye is conferring with his
members, Rogers said.
Once the spending levels are
set, the two sides will be able to
discuss whether to move one
omnibus or several “minibuses,” Rogers said.
A primary fight has already
begun over policy restrictions
Republicans are demanding to
rein in the Environmental Protection Agency, limit funding to
abortion-rights groups and target President Obama’s healthcare law. Democrats blocked
most of the GOP’s provisions
earlier this year in the battle
over 2011 funding, but Republicans have signaled they will
keep pushing for their inclusion
this time around.
Democrats are hoping to seize
on divisions in the House Republican Conference as they
head into negotiations over
2012 spending. Republicans
needed Democratic help to pass
the stopgap bill, a version of
which failed when Democrats
Greg Nash
pulled their support. The final bill, the product of a Senate
compromise, passed on a vote
of 352-66, with 53 Republicans
and 13 Democrats voting no.
As they have all year, Republicans are training their rhetorical fire on the Democraticcontrolled Senate, assailing the
upper chamber for never passing a 2012 budget resolution.
Nearly two dozen GOP House
freshmen held a news conference Tuesday to mark 888 days
since the Senate last approved a
budget blueprint.
Rep. Tom Marino (R-Pa.) said
the Senate was wholly to blame
for the record-low approval rating of Congress.
“The fact that I am called a
congressman does not mean
that I have an 11 percent approval rating back home,” he
said. “I’m suggesting we give
them the fog test, take the mirror out and put it underneath
their nose. What is going on
there?
“It’s no circus. We’re doing our
job. We’ve passed our bills,” Marino said of the House.

legitimate needs are,” Frank said.
“There is no way at all to do a socially responsible deficit-reduction plan — no way
to do a long-term deficit reduction [plan]
which preserves our ability to protect the
quality of life here in this country, and elsewhere in the world — without very substantial reductions in military spending.”
Frank was quick to note the importance
of maintaining a powerful military to protect U.S. interests, weaker allies and the
homeland — but with limitations.
“I do want the U.S. Air Force to be
the largest air force in the world,” he
said. “But I don’t think the U.S. Navy has
to be the second largest air force in the
world for us to be safe. I’d be happy if …
the Navy was tied for fourth.”
The threat of terrorism, he argued, is
nothing like that posed by Nazi Germany
or the Soviet Union during the Cold War.

United States,” he said. “You don’t defeat

Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) says he wants U.S. troops out of Iraq by the end of the year.
Frank: Keeping
US troops in Iraq
is ‘unacceptable’
By Mike Lillis
A leading House Democrat went after
President Obama on Tuesday for signaling
that some U.S. troops could remain in Iraq
past the year-end withdrawal deadline.
Rep. Barney Frank (Mass.) said the
country cannot afford the continued
intervention, which he suggested is not
working in any event. “We are now spending $120 billion a
year in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. And incredibly, President Obama
— who I strongly support in general — is
contemplating staying in Iraq even longer than George Bush wanted to,” Frank
told an animated crowd of liberal activists gathered in Washington for the Take
Back the American Dream conference.
“That is totally unacceptable, and we
must make that very clear.”
Frank, senior Democrat on the House
Financial Services Committee, said the
money would be better spent on domestic projects and job-creation efforts.
“If I thought our interventions did a lot
of good, I would be conflicted. … But we
often do more harm than good,” he said.
“I want to put more money into helping
hungry children and fighting AIDS.”
The Pentagon has already begun withdrawing thousands of troops from Iraq —
part of the current Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA) between Washington and
Baghdad, which requires a full withdrawal
by the end of the year. But most top Iraqi
officials have said some U.S. troops will
have to stay beyond that deadline to keep
the peace and train local forces.
Officials in both the Pentagon and the
White House say they soon expect Baghdad to request a formal extension of the
SOFA — including retention of some U.S.
troops — although the numbers and the
timeline remain unclear.
Joining Frank, some Senate Democrats
have also called recently for a full withdrawal from Iraq before 2012.
“We should bring the last of them
home on schedule,” Sen. Jon Tester (DMont.)” said last month.
Despite the criticism of the White
House over Iraq, Frank on Tuesday directed his sharpest attacks at Republicans for prioritizing foreign military
operations above domestic programs.
As the budget supercommittee searches
for trillions of dollars in federal savings,
Frank argued, they should focus most intently on Pentagon cuts.
“The biggest single chunk of deficit re-
terrorism with nuclear submarines. I
wish you did, because we have them and
they don’t. It would be over.”
The outspoken Massachusetts liberal
also urged the elimination of substantial
U.S. forces in Europe, arguing that the
political climate requiring those troops
is long gone.
“Harry Truman, I think, did a great
thing in 1949 when he went to the aid of
a beleaguered, poor, war-broken Western and Central Europe threatened by
Stalin,” Frank said. “Europe’s no longer
weak and poor; Stalin is fortunately long
dead and his successors crumbled; the
only thing that hasn’t changed is America continues to subsidize heavily the defense of the wealthy nations of Western
Europe against non-existent threats.”
Those dynamics, Frank quipped, are
reminiscent of the classic fence-painting scene in Tom Sawyer.
“People have figured out how to get
America to paint the fence and act like
we’re being done a favor,” he said.
The 12-member supercommittee is
required to identify at least $1.2 trillion
in deficit reduction by Nov. 23, or that
amount in automatic cuts — split evenly between defense and non-defense
spending — will kick in.
Frank said Congress could double
those figures from Pentagon cuts
alone, “and be a stronger, better and
happier nation.”
His comments arrive as Republican
defense hawks are stepping up their opposition to steep Pentagon cuts as part
of Congress’s deficit-reduction efforts.
GOP staffers on the House Armed Services Committee floated a report this
week warning that cuts deeper than the
$350 billion agreed to as part of the August debt deal would reduce the military
to pre-9/11 levels, putting some of the
biggest weapons programs “at risk.”
Frank, for one, isn’t convinced, hammering conservatives for opposing government spending unless it’s on the military.
“There’s a new economic doctrine: Military Keynesianism,” Frank said. “According to [conservatives], public
spending does not create jobs when we
support state and local governments; it
doesn’t create jobs when we build infrastructure; it only does it when we have
bases in Germany and Japan, which have
no earthly function other than to make
some people in the Pentagon happy.”

Call for special prosecutor
to investigate Eric Holder
HOLDER FROM PAGE 1
asked Obama to open an investigation into whether Holder told the truth when he
testified that he only recently learned of
Operation Fast and Furious, a gun-tracking operation staged by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives
(ATF).
Other top-ranking Republicans are demanding that Holder return to Capitol
Hill to again testify under oath about the
program.
Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), the ranking member of the Senate Judiciary
Committee, told The Hill he will press
ahead with the probe of Fast and Furious
that he is conducting with Rep. Darrell
Issa (R-Calif.), chairman of the House
Oversight and Government Reform
Committee.
Issa is pushing Smith to investigate the
matter himself and bring Holder before
either of their committees to dig deeper
into the issue.
The Republican pressure comes after
several memos from senior Justice Department officials to Holder were made
public this week. The memos clearly refer
to the gun-tracking operation, which was
launched in 2009 and oversaw the sale of
thousands of firearms in the Southwest
to known and suspected straw purchasers for Mexican drug cartels. The
program might have contributed to the
death of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry.
In testimony before the House Judiciary Committee on May 3, 2011, Holder
told Issa that Fast and the Furious had
been staged without his knowledge.
“I’m not sure of the exact date, but I
probably heard about Fast and Furious
for the first time over the last few weeks,”
Holder said at the time. Holder later said
that he “probably” learned about the operation before Obama discussed it in a
March 22, 2011, interview with Univision.
Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) pressed
Holder at the hearing to explain how he
wouldn’t have been aware of an operation of the size and scope of Fast and Furious.
“You have to understand, something
that is big — you described as big — in
comparison to all the other things that
are going on in the department at any one
given time, might not seem quite as
large,” said Holder. “I have 114-115,000
employees. The FBI, the ATF, the DEA.”
But in a November 2010 memo, Assistant Attorney General Lanny Breuer notified Holder of a sealed indictment
against alleged gun traffickers in Arizona
by the DOJ’s organized crime and gang
section.
Breuer wrote that the indictment would
remain sealed “until another investigation, Phoenix-based ‘Operation Fast and
Furious,’ is ready for takedown.”
And in a July 2010 memo from Michael
Walther, the director of the National
Drug Intelligence Center (NDIC), Holder
was notified that NDIC and a Phoenix
drug enforcement task force would assist
the ATF with an investigation of a suspected gun trafficker, Manuel CelisAcosta, being run under Operation Fast
and Furious.
“This investigation, initiated in September 2009 in conjunction with the Drug
Enforcement Administration, Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the
Phoenix police department, involves a
Phoenix-based firearms trafficking ring,”
the memo states.
“Celis-Acosta and [redacted] straw purchasers are responsible for the purchase
of 1,500 firearms that were then supplied
to Mexican drug trafficking cartels.”
Despite the apparent discrepancy in the
memos, both Grassley and Issa expressed
reservations about Smith’s call for a special counsel.
Issa said he is wary of a special counsel’s
investigation because he doubts its ability to remain objective and impartial.
Grassley said he fears DOJ might resist
future congressional requests for documents even further if a probe is undertaken.
“A special counsel may happen, but it
may also make the Justice Department
circle the wagons more and make it even
more difficult for Congress to get documents from them, but I have no intention
of ending my investigation and I expect
the Justice Department to cooperate
with or without a special prosecutor,”
Grassley said.
At press time, a DOJ official told The
Hill, “The attorney general’s testimony to
both the House and the Senate was consistent and truthful. He said in both
March and May of this year that he became aware of the questionable tactics
employed in the Fast and Furious Operation in early 2011 when ATF agents first
raised them publicly, and at the time, he
asked the Inspector General’s office to investigate the matter.
“As the documents provided to Congress show, not a single one of these reports referenced the controversial tactics
that allowed guns to cross the border, and
in fact, in one example provided to Congress consisted of a single sentence referencing a Phoenix-based operation. These
reports are compiled to provide regular
updates to Department leadership and
can contain references to hundreds of
cases, investigations, filings, court opinions and initiatives going on around the
country at any given time. None of the
handful of entries in 2010 regarding the
Fast and Furious suggested there was
anything amiss with that investigation
requiring leadership to take corrective
action or commit to memory this particular operation prior to the disturbing
claims raised by ATF agents in the early
part of 2011.”
Earlier this year, ATF agents testified to
Issa that they were instructed to monitor
the sale of the firearms to known and suspected straw buyers — a traditionally discouraged technique in the ATF known as
letting guns “walk” — but were ordered
not to provide the guns with adequate
surveillance to successfully track them.
Instead, agents were told to trace the serial numbers on guns found at subsequent raids and crime scenes back to the
serial numbers of the guns sold under the
operation, and try to make their cases
that way.
Issa said he wants to question Holder
further to try and ensure that decisions
like those made in Fast and Furious do
not happen again.
“Eric Holder certainly had an opportunity in those weekly memos to know
enough to know this was a stupid program,” Issa said in an interview with The
Hill. “Lanny Breuer clearly knew it was a
stupid program. Now the question is:
Who are we going to hold accountable for
bad judgment that cost American and
Mexican lives?
“The current information points to Attorney General Eric Holder, so that’s currently where we’re going to be focusing
some attention”
Chaffetz agreed, saying that it’s too early
to determine whether Holder perjured
himself. “[Perjury] is a pretty strong word
— I’m not necessarily ready to go that
far,” he told The Hill.

sponsibility of Congress to take its own action.”
Bernanke also described Sen. Mike
Lee’s (R-Utah) claim the Fed operated
under a “general veil of secrecy” as an
“urban legend.”
“We are very thoroughly audited at this
point,” he said. “Nobody’s found any impropriety whatsoever ... that’s really just an urban legend.”
Bernanke said the nation’s fiscal situation
is “clearly not on a sustainable path,” and
told lawmakers they cannot “safely or responsibly” delay making “difficult and fundamental fiscal choices.”
Several lawmakers, for their part, bristled
at the pressure from Bernanke and argued
the Fed was not making their jobs easier.
The testiness came on a day of continued
unease about the economy. Markets gyrated throughout the day, with most indexes
suffering losses while Bernanke spoke to
the Joint Economic Committee. The Dow
Jones closed up for the day.
Washington is bracing for a new report
Friday on the nation’s unemployment rate,
with both parties grasping for good news as
the campaign for Congress and the White
House intensifies by the day.
Bernanke painted a bleak picture, saying
recent data point to “the likelihood of more
sluggish job growth in the period ahead.”
“The recovery is close to faltering. We
need to make sure the recovery continues
and doesn’t drop back,” he said.
He made clear that the Fed cannot salvage
the economy on its own and that monetary
policy is not a “panacea” for the nation’s
economic struggles. Instead, Congress
needs to step up to the plate.
“Fostering healthy growth and job creation is a shared responsibility of all economic policymakers, in close cooperation
with the private sector,” he said.
Nonetheless, he maintained that the Fed
is prepared to take even more steps “as appropriate” to boost the economy.
Tension between Bernanke and lawmakers on Capitol Hill is nothing new.
The central bank has been under consistent pressure from lawmakers since it began digging deep into its playbook in several
attempts to boost the flagging economy.
After it had lowered interest rates as far as
it could after the financial crisis, the Fed began dabbling in more unorthodox policies.
This summer, the Fed took the unusual
step of announcing it would be keeping interest rates near zero for at least the next
two years.
And in a further bid to lower long-term interest rates, it announced in September that
it would be overloading its portfolio with
longer-term securities, buying up $400 billion of long-term bonds while selling off the
same amount in short-term securities.
The gambit, dubbed “Operation Twist,”
came days after GOP leaders made a direct
plea to the Fed, arguing in a letter to
Bernanke that the Fed should resist further
efforts to boost the economy, as those
moves were doing more harm than good.
Republicans have argued that the Fed’s
policies are having little impact and are sowing the seeds of future inflation. Democrats
have also begun second-guessing the Fed,
arguing the central bank should be taking
more dramatic steps to boost the economy.
For his part, Bernanke downplayed the
reach of the move, which also served to underline the need for Congress to act.
“We think this is a meaningful, but not an
enormous, support for the economy,” he
said.
Committee Chairman Sen. Bob Casey
Jr. (D-Pa.) chided Republicans for pressuring the Fed, and defended the central
bank’s moves as “needed to strengthen
the economy.”
But the vice chairman of the panel, Rep.
Kevin Brady (R-Texas), said the Fed needed
to refine its focus, and that he would be introducing legislation to reduce the Fed’s
mandate so it focused only on inflation, and
not on maximizing employment as well.
Several Republican lawmakers similarly
probed Bernanke on a single mandate, as he
defended the Fed’s dual mandate as “workable.” However, he noted that Congress had
the right to change it if it saw fit.
“We will do whatever you assign us to do,”
he said.
Brady also called on the Fed to clarify exactly how it functions as a lender of last resort, noting the unprecedented steps the
central bank took in the throes of the financial crisis.
While he was critical of the Fed’s recent
moves, Brady said he was not challenging
the Fed’s political independence.
“For our economy’s sake, the Federal Reserve must remain independent and free
from any undue political pressure in implementing monetary policy,” he said.

Recently, the U.S. government announced its opposition to all loans from
multilateral development banks to Argentina. The Administration’s
announcement sent a signal to the Argentine government that it would no longer
tolerate Argentina’s abuse of American creditors and American courts.
Since defaulting on its debt a decade ago, Argentina has flouted its financial
obligations to U.S. and international bondholders – and has ignored over 100 U.S.
judgments and rulings of the World Bank’s arbitral court.
Argentina must now take steps to settle its outstanding debts,
including the $3.5 billion it owes to U.S. citizens.
American Task Force Argentina urges Congress to join with President Obama
and U.S. taxpayers in opposing aid to Argentina by cosponsoring
the Judgment Evading Foreign States Accountability Act of 2011.

Christie’s ‘no’ sets the GOP field
CHRISTIE FROM PAGE 1
But he ended those dreams Tuesday in
a 45-minute press conference, saying
definitively that he won’t be a presidential candidate in 2012.
“New Jersey, whether you like it or
not, you’re stuck with me,” Christie said
at the New Jersey statehouse.
The obstacles Christie would have
faced, had he entered the race this late
in the season, underscored the likelihood that his decision marks the end of
the Republican hopes for a “white
knight” candidate to swoop in and rescue a GOP field that has been characterized by false starts and flame-outs.
Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin has
left the door open for a last-minute run,
and Republicans have publicly daydreamed about others, including Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels and Florida
Sen. Marco Rubio — both of whom have
ruled out bids.
“The race will stabilize for a while, but
Iowa and New Hampshire are still
poised to throw some surprises our
way,” McKinnon said.
For now, Christie’s exit from the presidential picture has left behind a Republican base that appears to be roughly coalescing behind two threads of the
GOP field.
On one side, former Massachusetts
Gov. Mitt Romney leads a slate of socially middle-of-the-road, establishment candidates that also includes former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman.
On the other side, Texas Gov. Rick
Perry is at the head of a pack of Tea Par-

lose from a Christie campaign, because
the New Jersey governor appealed to
the same base of supporters as Romney:
Republicans from the Northeast and
West, social centrists turned off by an
overt focus on condemning personal
behaviors and independents disenchanted with Democrats on economic
policy.
With Christie’s absence from the field
now certain, the attention turns to
which candidate can pick up the supporters and donors who had been holding out in case he ran.
Home Depot founder Kenneth Langone, one of Christie's most enthusiastic
backers, announced his support for Romney in the hours after Christie bowed out,
Langone's spokesman confirmed.
“The Upper West Side/McLean, Va.,
Republican establishment and major
donor base was waiting on Christie,”
said Matt Mackowiak, a GOP strategist.
“Now they’re either going to get in behind Perry or Romney, or they’re going
to stay out and do other things until
there’s a nominee.”
Mackowiak said the third-quarter
fundraising numbers that are due in
mid-October would put even more distance between the two front-runners
and the rest of the candidates, and sup-

YOU LIKE IT OR NOT,
YOU’RE STUCK WITH ME.”

port would continue solidifying behind
Perry and Romney. Mackowiak has donated to Perry’s campaign.
Christie’s endorsement became an
even more coveted prize once it became
clear he would not seek the nomination
himself. He declined to endorse one of
the remaining candidates Tuesday, but
did not rule out endorsing later in the
cycle. He also did not rule out a run for
president in 2016.
“What I care about is that the country
is better, and I think the country will be
better if we make sure Obama is a onetermer,” he said.
Most of the major candidates have visited Christie in New Jersey to seek his
nod, and his approval will carry major
influence among his vocal base of supporters across the country. As speculation that Christie might run ramped up
in recent weeks, candidates were careful in interviews not to criticize him directly, lest they jeopardize their
chances of securing his endorsement.
That prudence continued after he
nixed a possible run on Tuesday.
Huntsman issued a statement calling
Christie a “tremendous public servant”
but characterizing himself as the only
candidate who could be the standardbearer for serious solutions. And Romney said Tuesday afternoon that
Christie would have been a fine competitor and a welcome addition to the
field.
The clamoring for Christie to run for
president started soon after he inhabited the governor’s office in January 2010
and fashioned a national reputation for
himself as a no-nonsense, brusque
leader with a penchant for slashing the
size of government and a willingness to
strong-arm New Jersey’s Democratic
leaders in the Legislature to get it done.
But during the past two weeks, as reports exploded in the national media
that Christie was reconsidering, the
usually forthright governor started
ducking the question, evading reporters
and referring to previous statements
without granting the sound bites needed to dampen the speculation.
“Over the last few weeks, I’ve thought
long and hard about this decision,”
Christie said Tuesday. “In the end, what
I’ve always felt was the right decision
remains the right decision today. Now
is not my time.”
Had he stepped into the race, Christie
would have been positioned to be seriously competitive, both against the rest
of the GOP field and against Obama.
A Quinnipiac University poll released
the same day as his announcement
showed Christie and Romney tied with
17 percent in a primary, with Cain and
Perry trailing behind. In a ChristieObama match-up, the hard-hitting governor led with 45 percent to Obama’s
42, within the margin of error.

Senate Dems nix Obama jobs plan
SENATE FROM PAGE 1
Reid’s counterattack, shows that Republicans are more united against Obama’s
plan than Democrats are for it.
Indeed, three weeks after Obama called
on Congress to pass his jobs package “immediately,” the Democratic-led Senate
has yet to vote on it.
Reid indicated he is going back to the
drawing board to shore up wavering Democratic support for the $447 billion jobs
bill.
Reid told his Democratic colleagues
Tuesday that he would put together a
new plan to pay for the package after
rank-and-file colleagues balked at proposals to limit tax deductions for the
wealthy and raise taxes on oil and gas
companies.
“There are a wide range of things that
we’re looking at, because the only objections I’ve heard from my caucus on the
president’s jobs bill deal with the payfors,” Reid said. “So we’re resolving that
issue as we speak.”
However, Obama has repeatedly made
it clear that his proposed offsets are a key
part of his plan, saying they completely
pay for his legislation and would also reduce the deficit.
Political observers had expected Reid to
attempt to move Obama’s jobs package in
pieces, and he might still opt for that
path. But for the time being, he is sticking
to the president’s request to move his
jobs legislation as a whole.
In an email to supporters titled “They
won’t even vote on it,” Obama’s reelection campaign on Tuesday chastised
GREG NASH
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (Nev.) called a GOP maneuver a “charade.”
House Republicans for not scheduling a
vote on the bill.
The email, sent by Obama’s campaign
manager, Jim Messina, called the president’s legislation “not controversial” and
urged people to contact Republican
members over Twitter to demand a vote.
The email did not mention the Senate,
nor Senate Democrats.
David Axelrod, the president’s senior
political adviser, said last month the
package was non-negotiable and Obama
has traveled the country pressing Congress to pass it “right away.” The White
House later walked back Axelrod’s
claims.
Senate Republicans, sensing they have
the upper hand, said Tuesday there
should be a vote on the bill.
“I’ve noticed a number of Democrats
have expressed their concerns about various parts of it,” Senate Minority Leader
Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said. “I think
[the president] is entitled to know where
the Senate stands on his proposal in its
entirety.”
“The president wants a vote, and we’re
going to be sure to give it to him,” Sen.
Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) said Tuesday.
Reid called McConnell’s request a “political stunt,” “a charade” and “senseless.”
He said, “We now have a proposal that is
ridiculous on its face ... that is that we
vote with no debate on the president’s
jobs bill.”
McConnell was seeking to replicate the
political success he scored earlier this
year when he forced a vote on Obama’s
budget blueprint. Not a single Democrat
voted for it. Democrats at the time said
Republicans were playing political
games, and refused to fracture over the
budget plan.
Reid on Tuesday thwarted the GOP
gambit by executing a procedural move
that blocked Republicans from offering it
as an amendment to pending China currency legislation.
White House Press Secretary Jay Carney on Tuesday lambasted McConnell’s
move and deferred to Reid on the scheduling of the vote on the jobs package.
“We want it to be debated … And for
those who vote against it to explain why,"
Carney said.
Reid has said a vote will occur by the end
of this month.
Several Democrats have left open the
possibility that they would vote against
considering the president’s plan, which
limits deductions and increases taxes on
health plans for families earning over
$250,000 a year.
Sen. Ben Nelson (D), who faces a tough
election in conservative Nebraska, said
he would vote against a motion to begin
floor debate on Obama’s bill.
“No, no, no,” Nelson said, when asked if
he would roll the dice by allowing the bill
to come to the Senate floor in hopes of
amending it. “With the current offsets
that are essentially tax increases? No.
“This is a time to be cutting. The cutting
stops when the taxes increase,” he said.
Sen. Jon Tester (D-Mont.), another vulnerable incumbent, said Tuesday he
would oppose the jobs bill as Obama
drafted it.
“I can’t support it in its current form,”
he told The Hill.
Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-La.), a critic of the
oil and gas tax provisions, which would
hurt a crucial industry in her home state,
said she had yet to make up her mind.
“I’m going to listen to what the leadership says and make a decision about that
later,” she said.
Sen. Kay Hagan (D-N.C.) said she would
prefer raising new revenues through
comprehensive tax reform instead of zeroing in immediately on specific tax increases.
“I think we’ve got to have comprehensive tax reform,” she said. “I’m always interested in looking at what we can do
from a comprehensive standpoint.”
One aide to a vulnerable Democratic incumbent said it makes little sense for
Obama to press lawmakers to pass the
entire bill when it has no chance of getting the 60 votes it needs to clear the upper chamber.
The aide said Obama has transitioned
into campaign mode and appears more
interested in distinguishing himself from
Congress than working with Republicans
and centrist Democrats to bring to the
floor jobs legislation that can pass.
Reid, meanwhile, noted that Obama expressed his willingness to embrace different ideas for paying for the plan.
“Remember, when the president announced this bill, here’s what he said:
‘I’ve given some suggestions for pay-fors.
If senators and members of the House
have better ideas that they want to do
something differently to pay-for, that’s
fine with me,’ “ Reid said.
Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin (DIll.) acknowledged on a conference call
Tuesday that leaders would have to
change the bill to pick up more support.
“We’re also going to work on the number of votes to support it,” Durbin said
Tuesday in a conference call. “It may not
be the exact plan presented by the president.”

Lawmakers: White House
risking Taiwan’s security
By John T. Bennett
There is at least one issue that unites
some Republicans and Democrats in an
otherwise bitterly partisan House: the
White House’s decision to avoid selling
Taiwan new F-16s.
The Obama administration announced
in September it was moving forward
with a $5.9 billion arms package for its
Asian ally, but opted against selling the
island nation F-16C/Ds, the most technically advanced model of the Lockheed
Martin-made fighter jet.
Instead, President Obama and his advisers decided to retrofit and upgrade
145 of Taipei’s existing F-16A/B fighters.
Now the White House is taking fire
from friends and foes in the lower chamber who want Washington to sell Taipei
the newer model.
Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-Fla.),
chairwoman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, said the decision makes
Washington look “timid before Beijing.”
The Republican invoked the words of
Democrat Franklin Roosevelt in bashing Obama’s F-16 plans, citing one of
FDR’s famous fireside chats in which
he “told the American people that ‘We
must be the great arsenal of democracy’
to provide the means for the small island
country of Great Britain to preserve mutually cherished democratic values.”
To Ros-Lehtinen, Obama has “beaten
a steady retreat not only from its obligations mandated in the Taiwan Relations
Act, but from the spirit of FDR’s words,
by not providing sufficient means for
Taiwan’s defense.”
She called Taiwan’s fighter fleet — composed of American-made F-16s and F-5s,
an indigenous fighter jet and French-made
Mirage fighters — “old, rickety aircraft.”
Rep. Howard Berman (D-Calif.), the
panel’s ranking member, said Taiwan
“needs more advanced F-16s to adequately defend itself from China — and it
needs them soon.”
The F-16 upgrade plan will leave the
island nation with 275 total fighter jets
by 2020 — too few for Berman and other
panel members, considering China’s
development and positioning of its own
war planes and missile systems.
“As a result of the administration’s decision, Taiwan will ultimately have 145 F16s that have been retrofitted to be equivalent to the F-16C/Ds through the sale of
the upgrade kits,” Berman said. “But if
the administration had provided both the
upgrade kits and the advanced fighters
requested by Taipei, then Taiwan would

Union chief implores
liberal activists to get
Obama’s back on jobs
By Kevin Bogardus
AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka
implored liberal activists Thursday to
get behind President Obama’s jobs bill.
Speaking at the Take Back the American Dream conference, the head of the
nation’s largest labor federation said activists should support the White House’s
$447 billion proposal, which includes
funding to repair infrastructure, modernize school buildings and provide aid
to local and state governments. Trumka
said the legislation would help build a
nationwide movement on jobs.
“Our first step is to support President
Obama’s American Jobs Act and his de-
mand that the millionaires and billionaires who have profited so handsomely
pay their fair share of taxes to create
jobs,” Trumka said.
The labor leader said that in the past,
he has not held back from criticizing the
president when he felt Obama was heading down the wrong path.
“See, like many of you in this room, I’ve
been one of the first to call out President
Obama when I thought it was needed.
But when he’s doing the right thing, when
he’s doing the courageous thing, it’s time
for us to have his back and push that bill
through,” Trumka said to applause.
Trumka’s support comes at a crucial
time in Obama’s presidency. Obama

Virginia GOP congressman personally
attacks Norquist as well as his tax pledge
By Pete Kasperowicz Rep. Frank Wolf (R-Va.) on Tuesday
ripped the Grover Norquist tax pledge
and attacked the activist personally.
Wolf criticized Norquist’s pledge,
which most Republicans have taken in
promising not to raise taxes, and said
Norquist had used it to advance other
issues he said most voters would oppose. He also slammed the conservative for
profiting from “unsavory people” and
questioned Norquist’s background. “Simply put, I believe Mr. Norquist is
connected with and has profited from a
number of unsavory people and groups
out of the mainstream,” Wolf, who has
not taken Norquist’s pledge, said on
the House floor. “I also believe that
Mr. Norquist has used the [Americans
for Tax Reform] pledge as leverage to
advance many other issues that many
Americans would find inappropriate,
and when taken as a whole should give
people pause.”
The pledge was put forward by
Norquist’s group, Americans for Tax
Reform (ATR), and commits those who
sign it to oppose all tax increases, as
well as to eliminate tax deductions unless they are offset by corresponding
tax-rate reductions.
Norquist dismissed the criticism, calling the allegations “beneath him.” He
also branded Wolf’s speech a “hissy-fit”
and a “compilation of whack-job criticisms.”
Wolf is one of just six House Republicans in the 112th Congress who have
not signed the pledge. The others are
Reps. Richard Hanna (N.Y.), Todd Platts
(Pa.), Rob Wittman (Va.), Rob Woodall
(Ga.) and Kevin Yoder (Kan.).
Wolf started by questioning Norquist’s
association with disgraced former lobbyist Jack Abramoff. “Mr. Abramoff essentially laundered
money through ATR, and Mr. Norquist
knew it,” Wolf said.
Wolf also charged that Norquist is associated with two terrorist financiers, and
said he had lobbied for mortgage giant
Rep. Frank Wolf (R-Va.)
Greg Nash
Fannie Mae and Internet gambling companies. Wolf added that Norquist has
worked to move the Guantánamo Bay
terrorist detainees to the United States.
The Virginia Republican said Washington Republicans should not be
held to account by Norquist, given
this background, and that the tax
pledge is hindering the ability of Congress to find solutions to the federal
deficit crisis.
“Everything must be on the table, and
I believe how the pledge is interpreted
and enforced by Mr. Norquist is a roadblock to realistically reforming our
tax code,” Wolf said. “Have we really
reached the point where one person’s
demand for ideological purity is paralyzing Congress to the point that even
a discussion of tax reform is viewed as
breaking a no-tax pledge?”
At the same time, Wolf stressed that
he is in no way opposed to the goal of
the tax pledge.
“I want to be perfectly clear: I do not
support raising taxes on the American
people,” Wolf said at the start of his remarks. Instead, he said, his concern is
with the Norquist group’s association
with others that have “nothing to do
with keeping taxes low.”

Groups urge supercommittee to scrap
controversial Medicare advisory board
By Julian Pecquet
Twenty medical specialty
groups in a Tuesday letter
urged the congressional supercommittee to scrap the controversial Medicare payment advisory panel established by the
healthcare reform law.
The 15-member panel, known
as the Independent Payment
Advisory Board (IPAB), is
tasked with recommending
cuts to Medicare payments if
the program’s costs grow faster
than a target rate. The proposals made by the board would
go into effect unless Congress
comes up with equal Medicare
savings.
“Today, the price tag for repealing the IPAB is relatively
small, so Congress should seize
this moment and repeal the
IPAB now before the cost to do
so becomes prohibitive and access to care problems becomes
acute,” the groups wrote. “Also,
because IPAB funding is authorized to begin on October 1,
2011 and board members can
now be appointed, there is urgency for repeal before this
board is established.”
The letter recaps industry
criticism of the board, claiming
its 15 appointed members will
take Medicare payment policy
out of the hands of elected lawmakers, that it will be required
to start recommending cuts in
2014 based on spending targets
that physicians say are too low
and that it will hurt seniors’ access to care if physicians pull
out of the program because of
low reimbursements.
The IPAB is one of the few
provisions of Democrats’
healthcare law that would cut
healthcare costs, and President Obama has asked that it be
strengthened. But members of
both parties have called for its
repeal.
Eliminating the board would
increase the deficit, but the letter points out that the longer
lawmakers wait, the more expensive it will become to repeal
it later — similar to what has
happened with the Sustainable
Growth Rate formula for physician payments.
“While we recognize the need
to reduce the federal budget
deficit and control the growth
of healthcare spending, the
IPAB is simply the wrong solution for addressing these budgetary challenges,” the letter
concludes. “We need a workable alternative that adequately reimburses physicians and
ensures that patients will have
timely access to quality care.”
AMA touts tortreform savings
Doctors groups on Tuesday
urged the congressional supercommittee to reduce the
federal deficit through limits
on medical malpractice suits.

form as part of its effort to
cut at least $1.2 trillion from
the nation’s debt by Nov. 23.
The AMA said limits on malpractice suits could save the
government more than $62
billion over 10 years, citing
estimates from the Congressional Budget Office.
President Obama has previously entertained proposals
to limit lawsuits by protecting doctors who adhere to
a set of standardized best
practices for their field. But
physicians want a firm cap
on non-economic damages
in tort suits.
“Reforming the costly and
inefficient medical liability
system with proven solutions
will save taxpayers money,”
AMA President Peter Carmel
said in a news release.

White House blasts GOP’s ‘defeatism’
By Andrew Restuccia
The White House on Tuesday blasted
Rep. Cliff Stearns (Fla.), a top Republican on the House Energy and Commerce
Committee, for saying that the United
States “can’t compete with China to make
solar panels and wind turbines.”
“Chairman Stearns and other members
of his party in Congress believe that America cannot, or should not, try to compete for
jobs in a cutting-edge and rapidly growing
industry,” White House communications
director Dan Pfeiffer wrote in a blog post.
“We simply disagree: The answer to this
challenge is not to wave the white flag and
give up on American workers.”
Pfeiffer dismissed Stearns’s remarks as
“counterproductive defeatism.”
Tuesday’s blog post is part of an aggressive
campaign by the White House to defend
its clean-energy policies in the aftermath
of the September bankruptcy of Solyndra,
a California solar company that received
a $535 million loan guarantee from the
Obama administration in 2009.
Republicans are pummeling the White
House over the bankruptcy, raising questions about the viability of the administration’s “green jobs” agenda.
In an interview with National Public Radio on Tuesday, Stearns said the United
States “can’t compete with China to make
solar panels and wind turbines,” and that
the government should no longer subsidize
green-energy programs.
“I think the administration is putting taxpayers’ money at risk in areas that are not
creating jobs,” he said.
In the Capitol on Tuesday afternoon,
Stearns expanded on his remarks and
said NPR had glossed over the nuance of
his statement. “I said, as it’s structured now, we can’t
compete with China because they have low
wages, access to materials and they have no
environmental conditions,” Stearns said.
“The only way we can compete is to bring
the technological advantage we’ve got in
the computer industry and the aerospace
industry and to manufacture our products
with that [information technology] advan-
tage; otherwise we can’t compete. So, they
left that whole quote out.”
Stearns said he supports loan guarantees,
but raised questions about investing in solar manufacturing.
Stearns said President Obama’s green jobs
agenda is fundamentally flawed.
“The basic flaw is that [President Obama]
thinks he’s going to create a thriving economy by manufacturing solar panels, and I
think he’s mistaken,” he said.

Sen. Bingaman: shale
gas well emissions
require further study
Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee Chairman Jeff Bingaman (D-N.M.) called Tuesday for
more study of greenhouse gas emissions from the booming development
of natural gas from shale formations
in several states.
Natural gas is widely touted as a climate-friendly alternative to oil and
coal because it releases much less carbon when burned for energy.
But a recent, contrarian paper
by Cornell University researchers claimed that the climate footprint
of shale gas is actually worse than other fossil fuels due to “fugitive” emissions of methane — a potent greenhouse gas — at well sites.
Bingaman’s remarks touted the
promise of U.S. natural-gas development but said the emissions question
must be settled.
“If natural gas is to be used as a lower-carbon alternative to other fossil
fuels, the issue of fugitive emissions is
one that we must quantify and understand more fully and address appropriately,” Bingaman said at an Energy
and Natural Resources Committee
hearing on shale gas development.
In August, the prominent industry consulting firm IHS-Cambridge
Energy Research Associates issued a
report alleging that the paper’s estimates of greenhouse-gas emissions
were vastly overstated.

Consumer groups bash phone fund plan
By Brendan Sasso
A coalition of consumer advocacy groups on Tuesday bashed
an industry proposal to reform
the Universal Service Fund
(USF), arguing that the plan is
aimed at protecting “excessive”
telecom company profits at the
expense of consumers.
In a letter to the Federal
Communications Commission
(FCC), the groups warned that
America’s Broadband Connectivity (ABC) Plan, which was
drafted by the major telecom
companies, would hurt the
most vulnerable consumers.
“While we recognize that USF
reform is truly needed, we cannot accept the premise of the
ABC Plan — that consumers,
especially the most vulnerable,
should bear the burden of increased costs while allowing
the companies to maintain excessive profits
with no oversight or
accountability,” they
wrote.
The letter was signed
by the Consumers Union,
Consumer Federation of America, the National Consumer Law
Center, National Association of
State Utility Consumer Advocates and the AARP.
The $8 billion USF was originally intended to subsidize
the expansion of landline
phone service in rural areas.
FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski wants to transition
the fund to support highspeed Internet deployment.
He will unveil his detailed proposal for reforming the fund on
Thursday. According to senior
FCC officials, Genachowski’s
proposal will not be a
wholesale adoption of
the industry-backed
ABC plan.
The FCC is expected to vote on
the plan at its
next
meeting later this month.
The telecom industry defended its proposal, arguing it
would be good for the public.
“The ABC plan will create enormous benefits for
consumers,”Edie Herman, a
spokeswoman for the ABC Plan
said. “Most importantly it will
bring broadband to millions
of people who do not have access today. A key element of the
plan is moving to a more rational intercarrier compensation
system that reflects today’s all
distance world of bundles and
packaged services.”
The consumer groups argue
that the industry’s proposal to
increase the Subscriber Line
Charge (SLC) is unjustified and
would raise costs for consumers. The industry’s proposal to scrap certain
regulations
would leave
“consumers with
no rights or
protections
when it comes
to broadband
service,” they
wrote.
“Rather than endorsing or
pursuing the ABC Plan, the
commission should move forward on a plan that promotes
the public interest and pro-
vides for affordable universal
service,” they wrote.
The U.S. Telecom Association, an industry trade group,
did not immediately respond
to a request for comment.
Pentagon names top
cybersecurity official
By Gautham Nagesh
Defense Secretary Leon Panetta on Tuesday announced
the appointment of a new top
cyber official at the Pentagon.
Eric Rosenbach will serve
as deputy assistant secretary of Defense for cyber
policy in the Office of the
Assistant Secretary of Defense for Global Strategic
Affairs. Rosenbach previously worked as the cybersecurity lead at Good Harbor Consulting. He replaces
Robert Butler, who left DOD
earlier this year.
Rosenbach previously
worked as a staffer for the
Senate Intelligence Committee and as national security adviser for former
Sen. Chuck Hagel (R-Neb.).
He previously served as
an active-duty military intelligence officer and was
awarded the Meritorious
Service Medal.
Rosenbach earned a J.D.
from Georgetown University,
a master’s in public policy
from the Harvard Kennedy
School and bachelor of arts
from Davidson College.

Lawmakers to Obama:
Sell Taiwan new F-16s
F-16 from Page 12
have 211 F-16C/D aircraft delivered in the same time period as
the upgrade kits alone.”
The package — estimated to cost
Taipei $5.3 billion, according to
the Defense Security Cooperation
Agency — is still a win for Lockheed, already the world’s top manufacturer of military equipment.
Rep. Dan Burton (R-Ind.) called
it “unacceptable” that the White
House and Congress “don’t support Taiwan’s ability to defend
itself.” He said selling the more
advanced Lockheed-made F-16s
to Taipei should be a no-brainer
for that very reason: “They aren’t
going to attack China.”
Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-Va.)
questioned the administration’s contention that upgraded
A/B models are “comparable”
to the newer C/D jets.
“If they’re as good as the C/Ds,
why are we not selling [Taiwan]
the 66 C/Ds?” Connolly asked
State Department and Pentagon
officials. “Why are we quibbling?”
During a recent visit to the
Asian island nation, a U.S. delegation that included Connolly
“didn’t meet one Taiwanese
defense official who didn’t [prefer] the C/Ds.”
Panel member Rep. Ed Royce
(R-Calif.) said opting against
giving Taiwan the best F-16s
shows the administration is
“giving China too much sway”
over its decisions.
And Del. Eni Faleomavaega
(D-American Samoa) worries
the decision and other moves reveals Washington’s support for
Taiwan is mostly “symbolic.”
Acting Assistant Secretary of
Defense for Asian and Pacific
Security Peter Lavoy defended
the F-16 upgrade plan.
“Taiwan defense spending
cannot match [China’s], nor
can it develop the same type of
military [China] is developing.
Taiwan needs to focus its planning and procurement efforts
on nontraditional innovative
and asymmetric approaches
— there is no single solution,”
Lavoy said. “Given this context,
we believe the F-16A/B upgrade
make a significant contribution
to Taiwan’s air power.”
Though no panel members
called for legislation that would
require Washington to sell the
C/D models to Taipei, Berman
told The Hill he thinks such a
measure would pass the House.
Berman said he has heard that
at least one senator is preparing
an amendment to a bill targeting
Beijing’s currency manipulation
tactics that would do just that.
If the Senate held such a vote, “it
would be unprecedented,” Berman said in a brief interview. “But
I think that would pass if there
was a vote on the Senate floor.”
AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka spoke in support of the White House’s job plan.

Union chief praises president on jobs
trumka from Page 12
will need the help of unions to
persuade working-class voters he deserves a second term,
and labor’s extensive get-outthe-vote operations could be
a difference-maker in battleground states.
The support from the labor
leader represents a shift from
comments he made in August,
when he questioned Obama’s
leadership and said his administration had become distracted
from fixing the economy by the
debt-ceiling debate.
Though House Republicans
have declared the jobs package
dead on arrival, Obama’s proposal seems to have helped patch up
relations with labor. Nevertheless, unions are not fully on board
with the White House’s legisla-
tive agenda this year.
Unions are lobbying hard
against three pending trade
deals: with Colombia, Panama
and South Korea. The agreements are expected to receive
votes in Congress soon and are
supported by the White House.
The AFL-CIO ran ads in Beltway newspapers Tuesday opposing the trade deals. AFL-CIO affiliate union leaders also hosted
a Capitol Hill lobby day where
workers met with lawmakers
to urge them to vote against the
agreements. And the labor federation organized a national callin day to urge lawmakers to vote
against the trade deals.
In his speech before liberal activists, Trumka credited the “Tea
Party-inspired right wing” for
the trade deals, not the president.
“The next stop for their
agenda here in Washington
is, quite frankly, three lousy
trade deals that are coming up
right now,” Trumka said.
Trumka blasted the trade
agreements, which were submitted to Congress this week
by the Obama administration.
Urging activists to call their
lawmakers, he said that the
trade deals will lead to U.S.
jobs losses and reward countries that have poor records
regarding labor rights.
“You see, if you agree that the
answer is no, then you need to
join me, brothers and sisters,
in calling Congress to let them
know,” Trumka said. “We need
to get hundreds of calls in to
Congress today.”
The conference was hosted by
the liberal group the Campaign
for America’s Future.

In case you’re wondering why Sprint is
trying to kill the AT&T/T-Mobile merger…
It’s all about spectrum.
Spectrum is the lifeblood of wireless communications. It affects everything
from dropped calls to data speeds.
Sprint owns a majority economic stake in Clearwire, and the FCC treats them as one
when analyzing spectrum holdings.1 Together they control over one-third of the mobile
wireless spectrum held by U.S. wireless carriers — far more than any other provider.
You can’t blame them for wanting to keep it that way.
We have a plan to combine our limited spectrum with T-Mobile to create a
4G LTE mobile broadband network that will reach 97% of Americans.
By investing an additional $8 billion we can build this national network,
and in the process create between 55,000 and 96,000 American jobs.2
That’s our plan.

hich future political consultant used Indiana Gov. Mitch

Verbal attacks on consultants have

his pollster and media consultant. (He
didn’t win.)
Daniels isn’t running, though, so one

A key Democrat on the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee
said he will not run for reelection next

Rep. Jerry Costello (D-Ill.), the ranking

in 2012.

many times since that I did not intend to
stay in Congress forever, as I had other interests that I wanted to pursue.”
Costello has comfortably held his
slightly Democratic-leaning district for
decades, easily winning reelection in recent years, taking 60 percent of the vote
in 2010 and 72 percent in 2008. In 2006,
he was unopposed for reelection.
His strength in the district played a big
part in Illinois Democrats’ decision to
destabilize neighboring Rep. Timothy
Johnson’s (R-Ill.) district earlier this year
when they redrew the state’s congressional map.
But with his decision to retire, that redistricting might come back to bite them,

rural, Republican-leaning territory and is
only slightly Democratic-leaning.

Daniels owes a lot to consultants

— a characterization that betrays ignorance of either mercenaries, consultants
or both. It’s true we work for money — as
do tinkers, tailors, soldiers, spies and governors. Like lawyers, management consultants and engineers, we serve a number of clients over time, but unlike many
of those professionals, almost none of us
are for sale to the highest bidder.
Like Daniels himself, we make no claim
to asceticism, but most of us could make
more doing something else or by choosing non-political clients over Daniels and
his ilk. We don’t because, in diametric opposition to mercenaries, the consultants I
know, on both sides of the aisle, are deeply
committed to the candidates and causes on
whose behalf they labor. Republicans and
Democrats alike joined this profession to
advance an agenda, to advocate a vision, to
press positions that we think will create a
good society. Daniels and I disagree about
what constitutes a good society, but I can
assure him I am no less committed to creating that society than he is.
Indeed, my commitment, and that of
my colleagues, to “particular program[s]
of public improvement” compares quite
favorably to that of Daniels’s friends.
History suggests my commitment to a
woman’s right to choose is more steadfast
than Mitt Romney’s first pro-, then antichoice, views. My commitment to Romney’s healthcare reform is demonstrably
stronger than his own. I was committed to
battling global warming before Newt Gingrich appeared in TV ads three years ago
urging others to join the fight and while
Gingrich was on TV taking up the cause.
But my commitment has remained intact,

of global warming altogether. Daniels’s

cause Floridians have a Delaware-like
appetite to be first in something that
matters. For the uninitiated, Delaware
already owns the “First State” distinction, and a million pink flamingos can’t
change that. So Florida wants to be the
first state of significant size to influence the Republican nomination. I
get this, but is disrupting the calendar
necessary? Didn’t the 2008 primary
system prove that Florida could still be
relevant at a later, more normal date?
While I don’t like push polls, I am
thinking of some delicious questions
that could be aimed at Florida Republicans regarding those who perpetrated
this sacrilege while preparing for reelection. “Would you be more likely or less
likely to vote for a Republican legislator
who claims to be a Christian conservative but voted to change the political calendar so that it takes the Baby Jesus out
of Christmas in Iowa?” My latest polling
in Florida, just out of the field, says that
39 percent of likely Florida GOP primary voters attend church weekly. They
won’t be happy once they hear what’s
been visited upon their brothers and
sisters in other states.
Let’s be honest, despite the pious
bent of many conservative Republicans, there must be a lot of secular
humanists (the 25 percent of Florida
GOP primary voters who never attend church) in the backroom running
things because someone has trampled

horror that Florida has wrought.
Getting serious in a secular way,
frontloading the process has all sorts
of horrible economic consequences.
First, it robs some of the early states
of an expected financial windfall that
comes from months of campaigning and media coverage. This move
by Florida’s legislators literally takes
bread off the table of Iowa and New
Hampshire business operators like hoteliers, restaurant owners, TV- and radio-station ad-sales staffers, billboard
owners, etc. I might add that it does
the same in Florida. Candidates are
already campaigning and spending in
Florida. The Legislature’s actions just
cut that spending by 20 percent or so.
The problem, too, is that unless everyone moves up their primaries, there
will be a hole in the calendar that will
bedevil campaigners. Any momentum
and excitement that the early contests
create will be extinguished during the
dead time left by Florida’s move. Campaigns will burn several weeks of budget just flailing to stay relevant and
staffed for the days that follow. Even
if a winner is found in Florida, he or
she will have a longer general-election
campaign to fund — not a good scenario
against an incumbent with deep-pocketed supporters.

Businessman Herman Cain said that
black voters who are not open to his platform aren’t “savable,” doubling down on
his criticism that some African Americans
are “brainwashed.”
Cain made the new comments during an
appearance Tuesday on ABC’s “The View”
after being asked whether he stood by remarks he made last week on CNN that many black voters have been “brainwashed
into not being open-minded, not even considering a conservative point of view.”
The Republican presidential candidate
told the hosts that he “absolutely” stood
by the comments.
Cain said he was encouraged that “a lot
of black Americans are thinking for themselves,” and repeated his claim that in a
general election match-up against President Obama, he believes he would take at
least a third of the black vote.
“But the others, they’re not savable, they
don’t event want to hear about my 9-9-9
plan,” Cain said.
The central tenet of Cain’s campaign is replacing the current tax code with 9 percent
flat-rate income, sales and corporate taxes.
During the interview, Cain praised
Chris Christie after it was reported that
the New Jersey governor has decided not
to run for president.
“I’m pleased with that for his sake, because
the advice that I had given by way of interviews — if his heart’s not in it, he should not

open to persuasion on the matter.
“You show me the science that it’s not [a
choice] and I could be persuaded,” Cain
said. “But right now it’s just my belief and

lecture on commitment might be better
addressed elsewhere.
The governor goes on to recite a common anti-consultant canard: that consultants “tend to recommend negative tactics as the first and foremost element of
any campaign.”
Like colleagues, I have done campaigns
where I have recommended nothing but
positive and others where my counsel has
been mostly negative. After all, my role is
to win — for my candidate, my cause, my
country — and a negative ad is, in my view, a
small price to pay to ensure that the middle
class and the poor enjoy a decent life and
the opportunity to succeed (someone of
Daniels’s persuasion might say negative
ads are a small price to pay to protect the
rich from paying more taxes — and that’s
what makes democracy interesting).
But fundamentally, negative ads air because they work. If voters hated them, if voters really didn’t want to use the information
contained in them, the electorate would
vote against candidates who deploy such
ads. They don’t. That’s because 30 years of
research in psychology demonstrates that
human beings process negative information more quickly and more deeply than
positive information. Until Daniels is able
to repeal that fact of psychological life, negative campaigns will be with us, whether they
are created by professional consultants or
bedroom-based videographers.
Gov. Daniels owes me nothing. But he
probably does owe an apology to the consultants who helped him climb the high
horse on which he seems to ride today.

though he died in 1977. The lesson: Just
’cause something is dead doesn’t mean it
can’t be effective.
And so it is with President Obama
and his jobs bill. It’s dead as is. House
Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.)
said so. And maybe more importantly,
a number of Democratic senators have
implied as much.
But that will not stop Obama from talking
about the jobs bill and nothing else. That’s
because the White House hopes the president’s steady drumbeat of “pass the bill”
can become a rallying cry for his supporters even if it doesn’t create a single job.
“He has to keep this up so long that after
people stop thinking it has a chance they
start thinking that he is some sort of crazy
for creating jobs,” one Democratic strategist said. “Repetition, repetition, repetition.”
It doesn’t matter that this bill will not pass
as is. It doesn’t matter that the bridge linking Ohio (House Speaker John Boehner) to
Kentucky (Senate Minority Leader Mitch
McConnell) wasn’t even in the bill. What
matters to the White House are the politics
of the battle. The president’s advisers want
to ensure Obama has a vehicle to get him
on the right side of the fear and loathing
America feels toward Washington.
Senior administration officials have
warned reporters for the last month that
Obama will be pushing the jobs bill long
after the press has grown bored of hearing about it.
It will be at that point, the thinking goes,
that Americans will have heard about it,
embraced it and joined the president in
calling for its passage.
But it still won’t pass.
But beyond that lies the sheer spectacle
that a third-party bid from Palin would
provide, and Palin seems to love spectacles. Every four years, the media work
to find a way to insert a credible independent candidate into the general election. This dynamic raises the profile of a
presidential race considerably, but not
since Ross Perot’s first bid in 1992 have
we seen anything close to what could
happen in 2012.
Imagine that the independent candidate is Sarah Palin. The equation would
be explosive — a political figure who’s
provoked endless fascination with a
phenomenon that’s rarely seen.
Dartmouth Professor Brendan Nyhan, a best-selling media critic, said the
prospect would raise overwhelming
flash — if not overwhelming results at
the ballot box.
“It would be a
spectacle,” Nyhan
said, “but I don’t
think she’d be taken nearly as seriously by the press
as a centrist thirdparty candidate
like Perot would
be. Perot actually briefly led in
the polls, whereas
she has negative
ratings well over
50 percent and
would be lucky to
get double digits.”
On that, McKinnon agrees. “Palin’s fortunes are literally
still closely tied to the Republican Party
and Fox News. And Palin actually does
not have much support among true independent voters.”
But winning might not be what she’s looking for. After all, to the spoiler go the spoils.
Ninety-five percent in the Senate means
winning 51.3 Democratic senators of 54. It’s
probably closer to 49.2. Either way, it’s far
short of 60.
But neither the White House nor the Chicago campaign team is getting hung up on
such details.
Instead, they know the bill will be broken
up, and smaller battles will break out, giving
Obama smaller victories that officials hope
will add up to a big win next November.
But more important than that are the
myriad opportunities available this fall and
winter for Congress to act like Congress
and for Obama to call them out for doing so.
The government again reached the
brink of a shutdown last week. The supercommittee process will be painful
to watch. The debt-ceiling debate will
reverberate, and the voter disdain for
Washington is likely to grow.
Obama wants in on that, and Cantor
played right into his hands on Monday
when he said that the jobs bill is dead.
For stating the obvious, Cantor was rewarded by Obama making the majority leader the new face of obstruction in his
Tuesday speech in Texas.
“Yesterday the Republican majority leader in Congress, Eric Cantor, said
that right now, he won’t even let the jobs
bill have a vote in the House of Representatives,” Obama said.
“Well, I’d like Mr. Cantor to come
down here to Dallas and explain what in
this jobs bill he doesn’t believe in. Does
he not believe in rebuilding America’s
roads and bridges? Does he not believe
in tax breaks for small businesses, or efforts to help veterans?”
Note that Obama did not invite Democratic Sens. Joe Manchin (W.Va.) or Ben
Nelson (Neb.) to Texas.
Damn the outliers. This isn’t about votecounting. This is about the meta. Democrats versus Republicans.
A campaign official noted the Tuesday
morning front page of the Richmond TimesDispatch, which tells the story of Cantor declaring the jobs bill dead.
“Is that the headline you want?” the official said.
It’s the headline the campaign wants. Because this is not about passing a bill.
The bill is a prop. It is a weapon Obama is
using to rally his base, show he has some
fight and draw a line between himself and
the GOP.
The campaign will
spend next year telling voters what they
should be against.
This phase is about
telling voters what
Obama is for.
The rest of the year
will be about Obama
getting mileage from
things that are dead,
specifically the jobs bill
and Osama bin Laden.
And while it might
seem to Washington
like the president is
tilting at windmills, the
hope in Chicago is that
voters want to fight windmills too, and they
trust Obama to lead the charge.
If that turns out to be the case, then folks
in Washington might start wondering
about the jobs bill the same way Elvis fans
wonder about the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll.
Maybe it’s not really dead.

Why Sarah Palin could
run as an independent
By Christian Heinze
There’s been some chatter this week
about the possibility that former Alaska
Gov. Sarah Palin (R) might run for president next year — as an independent.
The consequences for both her and
the presidential race couldn’t be more
profound, and there are a number of
reasons why this could be a very real
possibility.
The deadline for entering primaries in
many states is rapidly approaching, and
yet a rapid decision from Palin doesn’t
seem to be on the horizon, despite past
words to the contrary.
In July, she told Fox News that legal
concerns would coax a decision from
her. “Well, legally, of course, there are
timeframes, and that time is coming rapidly in front of us all,” she conceded.
“August and September, you do have to
start laying out a plan if you are to be one
to throw your hat in the ring, so that’s basically the timeframe.”
She indicated the same thing the next
month when she told ABC that September was the “drop-dead date.”
Yet September has come and gone and
Palin seems no closer to a decision. In
fact, as of late, she’s become defiant at
the talk of a timeline. She told Fox News
last month that she would not “let the
media tell me or dictate when a dropdead date should be,” and since then,
she’s dismissed any idea of a deadline.
It seems Palin is in no hurry to announce a decision even as the calendar,
legal constraints and organizing constraints hurry upon presidential candidates. With each passing day, it looks as
if Palin’s chance of running as a Republican is passing.
If she doesn’t run, her voice will suddenly become marginalized as the media
turn their focus toward the Republicans
candidates who are running, and not Palin’s Facebook notes. Yet there’s one thing
we know about Palin: She loves attention
and isn’t willing to relinquish it easily.
On the same June day that former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney (R) announced his run for president in New
Hampshire, Palin showed up unexpectedly and sucked his attention away. And
on the same weekend that the 2012 candidates converged on Iowa for the state’s
straw poll, Palin also showed up, unexpectedly again, and again took much of
the attention away.
Last week, business mogul Donald
Trump suggested to Fox News that Palin needed to step into the background
and let the declared candidates have the
spotlight. But Palin hasn’t shown any
interest in sharing it, and one can easily
imagine a scenario where she makes an
aggressive push to insert herself into the
conversation again.
Palin has held the GOP establishment
in contempt since 2008. During the 2010
elections, she regularly railed against
the “GOP machine” and “good old boys,”
and both she and her supporters have
accused the party of trying to muzzle
Palin. In fact, Palin’s embrace of the Tea
Party movement has regularly been
coupled with attacks on the Republican
Party, and she’s often keen to note that
her spirit and principles are conservative, not Republican.
In short, Palin doesn’t claim loyalty to
the GOP, and in fact loathes the party establishment. There’d be no greater blow
she could strike to the GOP elite than to
run as an independent and siphon off
votes from the Republican nominee.
Party bigwigs would either fawn over
her, trying to coax her out of the race, or
attack her mercilessly as they try to discredit her among conservative-minded
voters. Either way, Palin would once
again be the center of attention.
As former George W. Bush strategist and
No Labels co-founder Mark McKinnon
says: “I think Palin will continue to find
creative ways to stay relevant to the conversation, and threatening a third-party
bid could certainly be in her toolkit.”

Keep Americans warm this winter
By Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.)
T
he American people are hurting. A record-breaking 46 million Americans are living in
poverty. Twenty-five million Americans
need a full-time job. Nearly one out of
four children in this country are living
in poverty, and we now have the highest childhood poverty rate of any major
advanced country on earth. Senior citizens on fixed incomes haven’t received a
cost-of-living adjustment in their Social
Security benefits for two years in a row,
even as healthcare and drug prices have
soared. And as Vermonters and other
Americans living in northern states
are preparing for the winter, the cost of
home heating oil is soaring.
We cannot balance the federal budget on the backs of the most vulnerable
Americans by slashing the Low Income
Home Energy Assistance Program.
LIHEAP is a lifeline to dignity for millions of Americans. Last year, it provided the resources necessary to keep a
record-breaking 8.9 million American
families warm in the winter and cool in
the summer — an increase of 35 percent
since 2008. Nearly all of federal home
heating assistance goes to the elderly,
families with pre-school children and
the disabled.
President Obama has been a strong ally
of the home heating assistance program,
but last February he proposed cutting
the budget in half based on what turned
out to be seriously flawed projections
that energy prices would fall. At the time
Obama sent his budget proposal to Con-

gress, he said he would reconsider how
much should go for heating assistance
if oil prices soared. Unfortunately, they
have.
The average price of heating oil now is
expected to be higher this winter than it
was during the price spike in 2008, according to the Energy Information Administration. Heating oil prices are projected to be about 25 percent higher this
year than last winter and could soon top
$4 a gallon.
The six governors from New England
recently wrote that if the program’s
funding is significantly cut, Vermont
and the other states in our region “will
be required to take drastic measures
that will endanger the most vulnerable
LIHEAP households.” Governors in Illinois, Kentucky, North Carolina and a
dozen other states also have said that reducing funding “at this time would cause
considerable harm.”
State energy directors have estimated
that a 50 percent cut in funding would
leave them with few options but to cut
millions of families from the program.
In the midst of the current recession,
when poverty is increasing, that would
be simply unacceptable and could lead
to a severe winter health emergency.
It is not uncommon for the temperature to dip to as low as 20 below zero in
the wintertime in Vermont and other
cold-weather states. Without adequate
LIHEAP resources from the federal government, the health and well-being of
senior citizens on fixed incomes, families with children and persons with disabilities will needlessly be put at risk. We
cannot let that happen.
Everyone understands that we must
reduce the record-breaking $14.5 trillion national debt and unsustainable
federal deficit. But it would be immoral
and bad economic policy to reduce the
deficit by forcing the most vulnerable
people in our country to go without heat
when the temperature is below zero in
Vermont or without air conditioning
when it’s more than 100 degrees in Arizona.
At a time when heating oil prices are
projected to skyrocket, and as Vermonters and people throughout the country
continue to struggle through the worst
economic crisis since the Great Depression, the home heating assistance program must be fully funded at no less than
$5.1 billion. In the richest country on the
face of the earth, senior citizens, children and the disabled cannot be allowed
to go cold this winter.

Committee.

Innovated in the US, made in China
By Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.)
A
merica has always been the
world’s innovator — it’s defined
in our DNA. That’s why I’ve
been particularly concerned by what I
hear as chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee: Our global economic
rivals are cheering and our allies are
perplexed by an America still relatively
sitting on the sidelines in one important
area that will define the global economy
for years to come — clean energy.
It’s an economic race not unlike the race
to the moon in the 1960s. And we’re losing.
Kevin Parker, the head of asset management at Deutsche Bank, says we’re
“asleep at the wheel on this industrial
revolution taking place in the energy industry.” And he’s right. The current energy economy is a $6 trillion market with
4 billion users, and the fastest growing
segment of that is green energy — projected at $2.3 trillion in 2020. We need
to harness this incredible opportunity to
create jobs and strengthen our economy,
but instead right now we’re on track to
let most of this investment go overseas.
Unless we make some big changes, and
soon, the United States is at risk of sleeping through an economic opportunity of
extraordinary proportions.
Ironically, other countries are raking
in profits and creating jobs thanks to our
earlier — but relatively abandoned — efforts. We can’t allow the bumper sticker
of the 21st century to become: “Invented
in the United States, Made in China.”
Consider this: In 1995, the U.S. led
worldwide supply of photovoltaic cells
and modules, manufacturing roughly
43 percent of the total global market. By
2009, U.S. leadership eroded to less than
6 percent market share. Alarmingly, it’s
just one example of many.
How did we get here? Simply put, national policies matter, particularly when
it comes to financial incentives. A recent
study by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory found that the financial incentives countries provide play
a far more significant role than factors
like labor costs when a company is deciding where to locate. It is no surprise
then that China, for example, is now
the leading manufacturer of solar panels and wind turbines as they prepare
to outspend the United States 3-to-1 on
public clean-energy projects over the
next several years. Countries including
China, Germany, Italy and India are also
attractive to financers because they have
national policies that create long-term
certainty for investors by supporting
renewable-energy standards and greenhouse-gas reduction targets.
Because of political uncertainty and
inaction in this country, we are standing idly by, just watching our investment
dollars capitalize on opportunities in
Asia and Western Europe, where governments provide a more attractive climate. The longer the United States puts
off the clean-energy revolution, the further behind we will fall to our competitors in the global economy.
Nevertheless, the forecast isn’t all
bleak — if we act now. We still have significant advantages over other countries. Our scientists continue to conduct cutting-edge research better than
anywhere else in the world; our business communities are agile and excel
at identifying consumer demands and
new markets; and we have a culture that
welcomes new ideas and talent regardless of its origin. The United States is still
the world leader in energy-efficiency investment and clean-energy innovation.
However, turning these innovations into
products that are installed and the jobs

that accompany them will not happen
until we have strong national policies
that provide incentives and certainty to
our business community.
Just consider what one arm of the government can do. A recent Pew study
finds that the Pentagon’s clean-energy
investments increased 300 percent between 2006 and 2009 — driven by experiences in Iraq and Afghanistan, where
fuel shipments account for 80 percent
of all supply convoys. Not only was the
price volatility of oil and the impact of
fuel dependence on operational efficiency problematic, but tragically, an estimated 1 in 46 convoys suffered a casualty
in fiscal year 2010.
An example of the department’s innovative response in investments is the
USS Makin Island, commissioned in
2009 with a hybrid electric propulsion
system that will save approximately
$250 million in fuel costs over the life of
the ship. These kinds of improvements
overall will save the Pentagon $500 million this year alone.
Now is the time for America to build our
new energy future — to ensure America’s
competitiveness and leadership in the
new global economy, improve public
health and protect future generations,
increase energy security and create important manufacturing jobs on American
soil. With the right national clean-energy
policies, jobs that produce clean energy in
America are jobs that will stay in America.
Some people say that today’s political differences make progress on these
issues impossible. But we face a crisis
of willpower, not capacity. Millions of
Americans know we can do better than
we’ve done these last bitter years — because our history has proven it time and
again. When the Soviets sent the first
satellite in history into orbit half a century ago, leaders from both parties rose
with a sense of common purpose and resolved that never again would the United States fall behind anyone, anywhere.
Back then — just as today — our leaders, Democratic and Republican, had
deep disagreements on many issues, but
back then, they shared an even deeper
commitment to stand together for the
strength and success of our country.
For them, at that turning point, politics
stopped not just at the ocean’s edge, but
at the edge of the atmosphere. For them,
American exceptionalism wasn’t just a
slogan; they knew that America is exceptional not because we say we are, but because we do exceptional things.
Surely we can agree and act to realize
the goal set by President Kennedy in
the race to the moon — when we aspired
to be an America “that is not first if, not
first but, but first period.” Surely we can
still unite to do the exceptional things
that will keep America exceptional for
generations to come.

We need ‘all of the above’ strategy
for future of US energy production
By Rep. Joe Barton
(R-Texas)
T
here’s a constructive
role for the federal government to play in expanding and diversifying America’s energy sources, but it is not
the role we are seeing from the
Obama administration. The
Solyndra scandal is the most
obvious example of an energy
policy that has gone off course,
but it is far from the only one.
We need to move forward with
an “all of the above” approach
in which every potential contributor to solving the nation’s
energy challenges is given the
chance to succeed.
Solyndra, the now-bankrupt
solar panel maker that received
a $535 million loan guarantee
from the Department of Energy, serves as the poster child
of the administration’s failing
energy policies — and its failing
economic policies as well. From
almost every angle, the Solyndra deal looks shady, and federal investigators will continue to
pursue a number of questions.
Why was the loan guarantee
granted even after several officials who reviewed the application expressed doubts
about the company? Was it
rushed out the door to coincide
with a high-profile public relations push coordinated out
of the West Wing of the White
House? Was the deal structured to benefit a major Obama
supporter? These and other
questions need to be answered
in order to get the loan guarantee program back on track.
Solyndra shouldn’t have happened. I helped write the bill
that created the loan guarantee
program, and we made sure it
had a number of built-in safeguards to protect taxpayers, but
they appear to have been sidestepped or completely ignored
in this case. This program deserves to continue, as there
is a role for federal support of
worthwhile emerging technologies and the companies working on them. However, we have
to be considerably more careful
whenever Washington puts its
citizens’ money on the line.
The federal government should
encourage new energy supplies,
but that doesn’t mean it should
stand in the way of existing ones.
Wishful thinking is not an energy source, and we need to be
realistic about the task of replacing the oil that fuels most of our
transportation and the coal that
produces nearly half of our electricity. In particular, we need to
be realistic about the time it will
take to develop alternatives and
scale them up so they can make
a significant contribution to the
nation’s growing need for affordable energy.
The transition will take decades — attempts to force it
along much sooner with measures like cap-and-trade energy
taxes or renewable electricity
mandates would only serve to
raise energy prices and destroy
American jobs.
In the meantime, we must
recognize that conventional
energy sources, which have
served this country well for
decades, are still going to be
needed for the foreseeable future. Rather than prematurely
dismissing oil as “yesterday’s
energy ” and threatening it
with tax increases — as the
president did in his last State of
the Union address — we should
be opening up access to domestic reserves that are currently
restricted, as well as greenlighting the Keystone XL pipeline expansion project that
would bring more Canadian
crude to American refineries.
And rather than discouraging the use of coal with a host
luted new boiler regulations
would actually discourage the
use of biomass and waste materials as energy sources. But if
companies want to develop the
means to use material such as
wood waste and construction
debris as energy sources for
boilers safely and cleanly — saving landfill space and supplanting some fossil fuel use — why
should Washington serve as an
impediment? These and other
private sector solutions should
not be strangled by federal bureaucratic red tape.
An all-of-the-above energy
strategy requires government

and we need to be realistic about the

of costly new Environmental
Protection Agency regulations
— just one of which, the CrossState Air Pollution Rule, will
force the closure of two coalfired power plants and several
coal mines in Texas, costing
500 jobs — we need to allow
continued use of this abundant
and domestic source of affordable electricity.
Ironically, the administration’s
regulatory crackdown is also stifling the kind of green-energy
breakthroughs one would expect the president to support.
For example, the EPA’s convo-

with loan guarantees and other
incentives, but to do so effectively. More importantly, it requires Washington to provide
a reasonable regulatory environment as the private sector

new energy sources and technologies.

administration is failing us on
both counts.

as a result of the Healthy, Hunger-Free
Kids Act are a vast improvement over the
status quo and long overdue.
The timing of our proposal could not
be more appropriate, particularly as the
country faces an epidemic of childhood
obesity. Nearly 1 in 3 children are at risk
for preventable diseases like diabetes
and heart disease due to overweight
and obesity. If left unaddressed, health
experts tell us that our current generation of children could well have a shorter
lifespan than their parents.
Alongside childhood obesity is the
problem of childhood hunger. During
2008, as many as 17 million households
in the United States, representing 33
million adults and 17 million children,
struggled to put enough food on the table. For many of these children, a school
meal is the only nutritious source of food
they can count on.
As a dedicated mother and grandmother who cares deeply for the health of not
just my own family’s children but for the
children of families throughout America, these issues greatly concern me.
And while government cannot solve this
problem alone, it makes good sense that

the substantial taxpayer investment in
healthy school meals be part of the solution, along with parents and others.
A comprehensive solution will require
bold action. We recognized that at USDA
several years ago when we asked the Institute of Medicine — a gold standard
for scientific analysis — to provide us
with their recommendations for what
healthy school meals should look like.
We used those expert recommendations
as the basis for our proposed nutrition
standards for healthy school meals.
The result is science-based standards
that reflect dietary guidelines by ensuring that children get more of the fruits,
vegetables, low-fat dairy and whole
grains that health experts recommend,
and less of the saturated fats, trans fats
and sodium that we all should avoid.
Many schools have already embraced this new direction. In fact,
1,250 schools throughout the country have been certified under
USDA’s HealthierUS Schools Challenge
(HUSSC). While the proposed nutrition standards are bold, they are also
achievable — so achievable that USDA
is committed to certifying 1,000 more
HUSSC schools this coming year and
another 1,000 the following year.
It is also worth noting that this success
is happening in these schools without
additional meal reimbursements from
the federal government. Surely, if so
many HUSSC schools can achieve real
progress without extra money, the historic new resources provided through
the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act
should go a long way toward making
these improvements a reality for every
school that participates in the National
School Lunch Program.
That said, we have heard from many interested stakeholders who have voiced
both support for and concern about the
proposed standards. We have heard the
concerns about cost, about feasibility
and about specific foods.
We are listening to everyone and we
know that there is still work to do. Given
the chance, we will be able to fulfill our
commitment to develop science-based
nutrition standards that are practical for
schools and reinforce the healthy eating
habits that begin at home.
We have to stay the course. Change can
be challenging. But this change is as important as it is challenging. The stakes
are simply too great: School nutrition
improvements are an investment in our
children’s future. We must not miss this
opportunity to provide the nutritious
food and promote the healthier lifestyles our children deserve.

Brinkmanship on air safety bill must stop
By Edward Wytkind
I
t’s happened again. You’ve
been a temp for years now.
You do a great job and
no one complains. Every few
months the boss extends your
position but refuses to make
your job permanent. This has
happened 22 times over five
years, and you have been in constant limbo and are unable to
plan for the future. During your
last short-term review, the boss
eliminated your job for 13 days.
Your latest “extension” is up in
January and you will face the
uncertainty yet again.
This is how Congress has been
treating the Federal Aviation
Administration, the nation’s
steward of what has always
been the world’s safest aviation system. Instead of passing
long-term funding for FAA, for
the last five years, Congress has
forced the agency to rely on a
series of short-term extensions.
And frontline aviation employees, just like the temp, are
placed in endless limbo, mak-
ing it more and more difficult to
ensure the highest safety standards in our skies: Air traffic
controllers who direct 64 million landings and takeoffs every year, inspectors who make
sure passengers board airworthy aircraft and land in safe
airports, and FAA engineers
who work on vital projects like
“NextGen” or with NASA to reduce the risk of windshear.
Pilots and flight attendants
grow weary of seeing critical
safety investments and important policy reforms delayed.
And mechanics continue to see
U.S. aircraft repaired at foreign
facilities that too often operate
without adequate oversight or
safety and security standards.
Historically, funding extensions have passed without
controversy. But this summer,
the strategy of hostage-taking,
the new M.O. in Washington,
not only blocked a long-term
air safety bill but was used to
partially shut down the FAA
for 13 days. That ridiculous act
of brinkmanship sent almost
4,000 FAA employees home
without pay and idled thousands of airport construction
jobs. These workers shouldn’t
be made pawns in the games of
Washington.
Remember, this is the bill that
will transition the air transportation system to NextGen
technology — to make air travel safer — and will invest billions in airports to make them
safer and make overdue safety
policy changes. It will also create more than 300,000 jobs
in an economy still teetering.
Fortunately, some sanity set in
earlier this month when Congress managed to pass another
extension that takes us to Jan.
31, 2012. But now it’s time to
break the gridlock and pass a
long-term bill. We cannot run
the world’s largest and most
complex airspace by making the FAA live from hand to
mouth on short-term funding
bills or threatening its staff
with unpaid furloughs.
This can’t happen any longer.
We can’t allow critical work
modernizing our air-traffic
control system to be stymied
because the FAA is forced to
worry about whether it will be
funded the next day. Programs
that keep travelers safe can’t be
put on the back burner because
some politicians choose gridlock over action. Just as important, the U.S. must meet future
air transportation demands or
our country risks falling behind
the rest of the world. While
Washington grinds to a halt,
China will invest $228 billion in
of a system we all rely on, and
those who continue to hold
hostage a multiyear aviation
bill for pure political gain are
playing with fire. The controversial measure in the House
FAA bill to make it harder for
airline and rail workers to
form unions is not only sinister, but it doesn’t belong in
this air safety bill. Remove
that measure, and let’s pass a
bill now in order to maintain

aviation by 2016, outspending
America by a ratio of 3-to-1. At
this rate we won’t lead the 21st
century in global aviation.
How do we solve this? Easily. Congress must pass a
multi-year FAA funding bill
— not for a few months, but a
few years. Twenty-two extensions in five years make a joke
our air space as the safest in
the world. The alternative
isn’t an option.

Dem unity,
minus Obama
fter months of squabbling,
Democrats on Capitol Hill have
united in recent weeks. And in
an unusual twist, they have done it in
spite of President Obama.
House Democrats, who have helped the
GOP pass controversial bills this year,
drew the line on a stopgap spending bill
last month. The White House, meanwhile, did not threaten to veto the Republican legislation.
Unable to persuade skeptical conservatives, House Republican leaders
gambled by bringing the measure to the
floor — and they suffered an embarrassing defeat.
While a subsequent bill passed, House
Democrats had served notice: They were
tired of being pushed around.
More and more Democrats are publicly
challenging Obama on a range of issues.
Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) ripped
the administration on Tuesday for
considering keeping U.S. troops
in Iraq beyond this year. In a floor
speech on Tuesday, Rep. Mike Quigley
(D -Ill.) questioned Obama’s strategy
in Afghanistan.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (DNev.) and House Minority Leader Nancy
Pelosi (D-Calif.), meanwhile, are at odds
with Obama on the trade deals he just
sent to Congress. Reid has committed to
moving them, though he has made clear
he is not a fan. Pelosi has put the White
House on notice she will not be twisting
arms to pass the agreements.
Congressional Democrats are not exactly embracing Obama’s jobs plan. Pelosi has called for an up-or-down vote
on it in the House, but Reid is in no rush
to schedule a vote. Reid, who is worried about keeping his majority, is wellaware that voting on Obama’s proposal
puts some of his politically vulnerable
members in a tough spot.
If they vote for it, Republican opponents will use it in campaign ads next
year, seeking to tie them to a president
who calls himself the underdog for reelection. If they vote against it, liberals
in their states will complain, and that
could hurt turnout on the left.
The Hill reported this week that
Obama’s relationship with congressional Democrats is deteriorating. In a way,
that could be good for Democratic legislators who are attempting to forge an
identity away from the president.
It won’t stay that way, of course. When
there is a Republican presidential nominee in 2012, Obama and Democratic
members will make up and get back together. For now, they’re on a break. And
the breathing room might do both sides
some good.
Excerpts from the hill’s pundits blog
Armstrong Williams: I can’t figure former House Speaker Newt Gingrich out. The second-tier candidate
just doesn’t know when to put his best
strengths forward while tempering his
enormous ego.
While campaigning in Iowa over the
weekend, Gingrich apparently told a
crowd in the Hawkeye State the biggest
reason to vote for him over his GOP rivals isn’t his ideas or even his new Contract With America. Gosh-darnit, he’s
just plain smarter than the rest.
Huh?
“[I]f you watch them and watch me,” Gingrich told Iowans, “the difference in the
depth of knowledge and the difference in
the ability to debate Obama, the difference
in actually having done it at the national
level … I’m a pretty good mechanic who
knows how to fix the car — and the other
folks are good at selling it. They’re nice
people, but they don’t have the knowledge
to do something like this on this scale. This
is enormously complicated.”
What humility. What demurring decency. And this guy says he’s a populist?
A man of the people? Which group — the
megalomaniacal society of America?
It won’t take long for voters to realize
that perhaps Gingrich is the wrong man
for the job precisely because he thinks
he can go up against President Obama.
That’s one of the president’s largest weaknesses — his propensity to talk down to
average Americans; to lecture them as
though he is the Omniscient One.
Gingrich is following suit, and it doesn’t
suit him well at all. This is the same candidate who, by the way, railed against the
Ryan Medicare plan, only to apologize in
less than 24 hours with a less-than-savvy
response. Yeah, that’s smart, all right.
Brent Budowsky: I am a big fan of
Hank Williams Jr., and own his first
three greatest-hits albums. But he
should apologize to President Obama for
his Hitler reference. Any sentence that
combines Barack Obama and Adolf Hitler is stupid, ignorant, should not be part
of our political discourse, and is an embarrassment to the political right.
There is a distemper in some circles on
the right. ...
Meanwhile, various Republican opiners seem to believe in their television
appearances and columns that the presidential campaign is over and Barack
Obama has lost. I understand why they
wish this were true, but of course it isn’t.
Perhaps they would have us cancel the
election and declare the Republican candidate the winner.
What’s at stake
in the cloud?
By Gen. Michael Hayden
T
he new federal strategy for
implementing cloud-computing solutions is called “Cloud
First”— and with good reason. We now
systematically prefer cloud-computing
solutions to those based on local servers
and laptops. The allure of efficiencies,
economies of scale, high-end services
and — most importantly — reduced costs
are almost irresistible.
But, as American governments at the
federal, state and local levels rush headlong toward cloud computing, wouldn’t
it be wise to pause and ask, “What’s at
stake?”
From a security perspective, as a former director of the National Security
Agency charged with stealing other nation’s secrets while protecting our own,
I believe these stakes are high and the
costs of a mistake particularly grave.
The current structure of the Internet is
fundamentally open — open in terms of
access and open in terms of use. But this
openness has consequences. As deputy
secretary of Defense William Lynn said
in a speech announcing our military’s
Strategy for Operating in Cyberspace:
“The Internet was designed to be open,
transparent, and interoperable. Security
and identity management were secondary objectives in system design. This
lower emphasis on security in the Internet’s initial design ... gives attackers a
built-in advantage.”
The transition to the cloud gives us a
chance to change that flawed security
paradigm. We can, if we choose to, build
in more powerful security principles
from the beginning as integral components of cloud architecture. Where more
sophisticated and costly security solutions are too expensive for an individual
user (or small network), they are more
affordable when the costs are distributed among a larger group of users. Likewise, sophisticated solutions that
could be too cumbersome to run on a
stand-alone personal computer or laptop (or today’s tablet or phone) can run
effortlessly on the larger server systems
maintained by cloud service providers.
Thus, if we invest our capital wisely (like
creating an efficient data management
and authentication structure), the transition to cloud computing can hold the
promise of high-end security even for
routine data transactions.
But, just as these economies of scale offer the promise of greater security, they
also create greater vulnerabilities and
threats that must be addressed before
we can say that cloud computing is secure. The accumulation of vast stores of data
and computing power in cloud-based
systems will provide online thieves and
hackers and nation states bent on espionage with an exceedingly attractive target. In a survey of attendees at the 2010
DEFCON conference, one of the largest
hacker conferences in the world, 96 percent of hackers believed the cloud would
open up more hacking opportunities for
them, while 89 percent believed cloud
vendors were not doing enough to address security issues.
Given the potential nature of cloud
services, in the event of data theft or loss
due to illegal or intrusive actions, cloud
clients could be subject to legal and/
or financial liability for breaches over
which they have little knowledge and
even less practical control.
Users might also need to create independent Continuity of Operations Plans
(COOP) to ensure functionality and survivability if cloud service is disrupted.
One essential part of any COOP will have
to be the ability to change cloud or other
network service providers should the
need arise.
Will there be sufficiently common
standards that govern “cloud” service to
make any such transition possible and
not overly complex or costly?
Any system is subject to insider threats.
The more concentrated the data, the
more catastrophic the failure if the
threat materializes. In the cloud, an insider with access can replicate, download, steal, delete or modify multiple
clients’ data unless effective internal
security measures are implemented.
Personnel screening, internal security
and the like will be the responsibility of
the cloud manager. How transparent
will this be to clients since users will be
dependent on the cloud manager’s effectiveness?
To date, most cyberattacks have in reality been examples of theft — personal
data, intellectual property, state secrets
— conducted for malice, profit or espionage. And unlike parallel activity in the
physical domain, which usually only directly affects large commercial and governmental interests, cyberattacks can
directly affect individual citizens. In the
Breaches in the
cloud could be more
catastrophic than in
discreet networks.
cloud, it is their data that is stolen and
their services that are disrupted.
Breaches in the cloud could be more
catastrophic than breaches in discreet
networks or systems. Overstating the
threat only slightly, the difference is between breaking into an individual home
and breaking into a large, theoretically
secure building filled with unlocked
condominiums.
There are fundamental challenges and
opportunities for cloud providers. Will
they develop a business model that emphasizes merely price and efficiency, or
will they strive to make security services
a key discriminator between their offerings and those of their competitors —
even if that means reinvesting some portion of the cloud’s “savings” back into a
more secure architecture. Let’s hope for
the latter.
Hayden is the former director of the National
Security Agency (1999 to 2005) and Central
Intelligence Agency (2006 to 2009). He is
now a principal at The Chertoff Group, a
global security advisory firm, which advises
clients on cybersecurity including cloud
computing.

Dead on

W
ith Republicans mourning their dashed
2012 presidential hopes for New Jersey
Gov. Chris Christie, keep this in mind:
He really had no chance of winning the nomination.
If conservatives can turn Texas Gov. Rick Perry into a
“liberal,” Christie would have been greeted as the second coming of Karl Marx.
Poor Rick Perry. After years of burnishing his credentials as a hard-right reactionary — even threatening secession after President Obama’s election — he
has been undone by his insufficient hatred toward
children of undocumented immigrants and his efforts to prevent teenaged girls from getting cervical
cancer.
His commitment to transforming Texas into a minimum-wage, low-regulation paradise for exploitative
industries while raging against the federal government (and quietly accepting $17.4 billion in stimulus
funds) was for naught. His refusal to listen to science
on global warming or evolution? Unrewarded. His
steadfast opposition to the 16th and 17th amendments? Ignored! What’s more conservative than opposing the amendments that establish the income tax
and direct election of U.S. senators?
Still, Rush Limbaugh, who once cheered Perry’s
entrance into the race, has turned on the Texas
governor, saying: “I know where this country is.
I know what the people of this country want, and
they don’t want John McCain Jr. They don’t want
another moderate Republican to work with the
other side.” Glenn Beck talks of the return of the
“old Rick Perry” — the one who was a Democrat.
Mark Steyn said Perry “has basically adopted the
Democratic line now on the whole illegal-immigration issue.” Primary opponent Rick Santorum
labeled him a “closet hippie.”
The polls haven’t been kind to Perry. A Fox News
poll last week saw Perry slip to 19 percent support,
compared to 29 percent three weeks earlier. Mitt
Romney isn’t picking that support back up. He remains mired in the low 20s. The GOP primary electorate simply doesn’t like him.
The Republican establishment would be thrilled
with Romney, but they aren’t sure he can survive the
primary. Thus they continue to cast about for a mythical creature that can pass muster both with the Tea
Party crowd as well as with establishment Republicans. Their desperation was reflected in their pursuit of Chris Christie. But what made them think that
Christie could have pleased the Tea Party more than
the decidedly conservative Perry?
After all, Christie believes “climate change is real”
and that “human activity plays a role in these changes.” He has called for “an orderly process … for people
to gain citizenship,” while opposing Arizona-style
anti-immigrant laws. He believes that “[b]eing in
this country without proper documentation is not a
crime,” and labels xenophobic anti-immigration critics “demagogues” and “ill-informed.”
In response to the furor over the appointment of
Sohail Mohammed, who is Muslim, to a New Jersey
Superior Court, Christie minced no words regarding
his some of his Tea Party critics. “It’s just crazy, and
I’m tired of dealing with the crazies,” he said. “It’s just
unnecessary to be accusing this guy of things just because of his religious background.” He’d need those
very same “crazies” to vote for him to have secured
the nomination.
In a world in which Perry is a “liberal,” that would
have made Christie DOA in a matter of two more
news cycles.

Obama errors benefit GOP
T
he conventional wisdom
holds that the parties in
Congress are not locked
in a zero-sum game where the loss
of one triggers the gain of the other.
Instead, it appears that the parties
are embracing each other in a downward death spiral, losing public favor
with each passing month as their
bickering continues. But, outside
the Beltway, Gallup reports, there
is a decided national shift in favor of
the Republican Party and against the
Democrats.
While both parties have negative
images, each showing unfavorables
in the mid-50s, there has been a
decided shift in voter opinions on
which party will do the best job of fixing the economy and of focusing on
our major problems.
Gallup has asked which party would
do the best job of handling the nation’s leading issue. In 2008, Democrats won this crucial measurement
by a whopping 47 percent to 30 percent. By 2010, their edge was down
to 43 percent to 35 percent. Now the
Republican Party has taken the lead
by 7 points, 44 percent to the Democrats’ 37.
Asked which party would do the
better job of promoting prosperity in
the United States, Republicans have
again gained the lead. Democrats led
in Gallup’s measurement from 2003
to 2009. In 2008, they held a 54-percent-to-34-percent lead. By 2010, the
parties were tied. Now the Republicans have a lead of 9 points — 48 percent to the Democrats’ 39.
There’s a lot swing or independent
voters don’t like about each party.
They see the Republicans as too beholden to the wealthy and too rigid
in their opposition to taxes, abortion
and gay marriage. And they see Dem-
Dick morris
The Political Life
ocrats as too prone to class warfare,
reckless big spending and excessive
government regulation.
In the more profound indications of
party loyalty, Americans remain agnostic. Voter identification with one
or the other party still remains about
even, and neither party gets much
public approval.
But when measured in the real
world — as alternatives — the Republican advantage will be telling in
2012.
ing,” Obama called it — the data indicate that 2012 may be even worse.
And Obama’s not finished making
negatives for his party. The economy
is likely to enter yet another recession, and job data look to get worse
rather than better. And the Solyndra
scandal may be the portent of things
to come. As details of influencepeddling and conflicts of interest
involved in making the loan emerge,
the Obama patronage operation
could look more and more like typical Chicago politics. There is also a
good chance that more green jobs
loans will go bad and that other companies will go belly-up, costing taxpayers even more money.

obama’s negatives have seeped into the
fabric of the Democratic party ... will
2012 be more of a rout than even 2010?
It is one thing to enter a general
election with an unpopular president at the top of the ticket. It is quite
another to be an unpopular party —
top to bottom.
Obama’s negatives have seeped into
the fabric of the Democratic Party.
His incompetent handling of the
economy, his weakness in getting his
policies adopted and his addiction to
government spending have all left an
indelible stain on the party’s image.
This stain is bound to affect not just
President Obama, but all the party’s
candidates for the House and the
Senate. Will 2012 be more of a rout
than even 2010? The answer is in the
Gallup data. In 2010, the parties were
about even on the issue of prosperity.
Now the Republicans have a lopsided
advantage. As bad as the Democratic
debacle of 2010 was — a “shellack-
corruption. The lure of a stimulus
package filled with money and the
rush to spend it may have been invitations to self-dealing that were too
much for this administration to pass
up. It is entirely possible that corruption will emerge as a key issue against
Obama in the 2012 election, further
besmirching his undeserved image
of integrity.

release of her teen-oriented pop albums “So Real,” “I Wanna Be With You”
and “Mandy Moore.” She took an adult
pop-folk direction with the release of
“Wild Hope” and her most recent album, “Amanda Leigh.” Moore branched
out into film, starring in “A Walk to Remember,” “Chasing Liberty,” “Saved!”
and “License to Wed.” Most recently,
Moore provided the voice of Rapunzel
in “Tangled.”
Moore joined the global health organization PSI in 2008 as an ambassador for
its child survival programs, which provide children and their families with
the education, products, services and
care needed to improve their health
and save lives in more than 30 countries around the world.
On her first trip with PSI, Moore
helped launch the distribution of 3 million insecticide-treated mosquito nets
to children suffering from malaria in
Southern Sudan. In 2010 and 2011, she
helped raise more than $2.2 million
through the United Nations Foundation’s Nothing But Nets campaign to
support nationwide net distribution
in the Central African Republic and
Cameroon. She visited both countries
to launch the distribution and joined a
bipartisan group of U.S. congressional
staffers in Cameroon to learn how partnership plays a critical role in covering
an entire country with long-lasting insecticide-treated mosquito nets. She has
attended Clinton Global Initiative University and the Clinton Global Initiative and has been named a Young Global
Shaper for the World Economic Forum.
ROBIN BRONK: If you had five minutes
in the Oval Office with President Obama,
what would you discuss with him? What issue would you like him to know about?
MANDY MOORE: Because of my
work with the global health organization, PSI, I would discuss USAID
and America’s investment in global
health. I’d want to discuss how USAID
is saving millions of lives by providing
simple and cost-effective interventions, such as providing clean water
or mosquito nets to prevent malaria.
Americans are very generous people,
so I’d also want to talk about the ancillary benefits of foreign aid — like
building stronger economies and how
global health efforts also support national security efforts. I’d also ask
how I can be of better service.
RB: If you could give President Obama one
piece of advice, what would that be?
MM: As I have a bit of a girl-crush
on Michelle — my advice would
be to try and maintain those date
nights. Given their schedules, I

would imagine it’s pretty tough.
RB: If you could ask President Obama one
question, what would that be?
MM: I’d ask him what he’d like his legacy to be.
RB: What book would you offer to lend
President Obama? Why?
MM: Definitely Nicholas Kristof ’s
Half the Sky . It’s such a powerful
book, and the stories of the women
are both heartbreaking and inspirational.
RB: If you were going to send the president
to one place in the world for one day, where
would that be? Why?
MM: Actually, one of the places I’ve
learned the most about American
generosity is on my recent trip to
Cameroon. I’d send him to Yaounde,
Cameroon, to witness the nationwide distribution of mosquito nets
made possible through our contribution to the Global Fund.
RB: Would you ever consider a political
career?
MM: Never say never, but right now I
am enjoying learning more about politics and aid in my work with PSI.

industry, in July 1998. During her tenure as

About The Faith & Politics Institute
Mission
The mission of The Faith & Politics Institute is to bridge the divides that arise in a thriving
democracy.
For the past two decades, The Faith & Politics Institute has provided Members of Congress and the
Washington DC community with experiences of extraordinary depth and personal spiritual reflection. Almost alone on Capitol Hill, the Institute provides Members of Congress and staffers unique
opportunities to connect across the political aisle. One Member of Congress recently described it
as an ‘oasis for us on the Hill.’
Action
The Faith & Politics Institute is well-known for its shared experiences such as the Congressional
Civil Rights Pilgrimage. It also offers events to Members of Congress, national and international
diplomats, and the larger Washington community that include discussions initiated by prominent
and leading thinkers, reflection groups, and lectures. Less well-known are the events the Institute
hosts to support Members of Congress and their staff: private reflection groups, opportunities for
personal evaluation on decision making and bipartisan forums.
The Institute strives to base its work not simply on civility, but on a unique mix of growth, trust
and personal, spiritual and confidential reflection. In the hectic environment of Washington DC,
the Institute provides opportunities for lawmakers and others to meet in reflective settings, with
Members from across the political divide, to evaluate and reflect on how they make decisions.
Through its work, the Institute has attained an almost unparalleled level of credibility and acceptance across the political spectrum. Through these efforts, the Institute helps lawmakers provide
the highest quality of public service for our Nation.
