Iron clad isn’t necessarily rock solid: How Israel fares to America
The President’s security and military assurances might imply a harsh acceptance of the present and future. Is it easier to arm a nation and prepare it for a battle than it is to resolve the root cause of the threat in the first place?

Can Jack Lew do for Obama what AmeriCorps did for Clinton?
Lew makes for an interesting choice for Mr. Obama, as he is one who has the respect of both sides.

More recently, he was an executive at Citicorp where he ran a group that made alternative investments, such as hedge funds, credit swaps and other creative financial mechanisms that people such as the President say has hurt the economy.
