I am a fellow at the. While liberal arts rule of the divisional world. They had known each other for a little while now. I immediately thought of my freshman year in college. I decided on what i should major in. I love history and Political Science. No one cares to read about. I decided to meet the professional world halfway and major in business.

It really is just extraordinary. It is a special opportunity for the president. He is not going to change very many minds, there are not going to be any grand initiatives. It is to try to divine the contours of the next 10 months and the final chapters of his presidency. Is he facing a more challenging environment right now . It is a very challenging environment. Much more challenging than he faced last year and he didnt have a very good year last your. Fax can he get much a compass tear .

That we are worth one third more than matter how much money you make. A 33 increase in pay is a lot. So what can we do and what do you make of Michele Obama coming in right now . What you make of mitt romneys suggestion that republicans are always on the defense and he didnt get a figure and then be done with it. What do you make of that . I agree with what he is saying. He is completely right that they are trying to separate it. The democrats are for one thing the democrats for something else. They should put them together and Work Together and it never happens. That is what i hope the president will say. And they say it is a good purpose in a poor sucker and we do have a huge problem in this country in terms of employment. According to the bureau of labor statistics there are 27. 5 billion people that are working parttime.
