In the heart of Venezuela's capital, Caracas, Nicolás Maduro was delivering of a rousing speech. He stood high on a podium, speaking to a parade of military troops. The event was broadcast live on national TV. An hour in, the Venezuelan president flinched. America’s Anxiety of Influence. Earlier this week, David Ignatius at the Washington Post published an interesting column ruing the decline of U.S.
“influence” in the Middle East. His central theme is that U.S. “disengagement” from the region is allowing local actors to chart their own courses, and that many of them are now making bad decisions. In his view, the prospects for positive change in the region are receding and that we will all be worse off as a result. It’s a thoughtful column and worth reading. Look, it’s easy to understand why American foreign-policy elites like having lots of “influence.” DynCorp.

Obama Just Made the Ultimate Commitment to Eastern Europe. No U.S. president since Reagan has used such forceful language against Russia.
Larry Downing/Reuters Presidents give a lot of speeches, and most of them don’t mean very much. They “urge,” they “call on,” and they “challenge”—and, for the most part, their messages bounce off their intended audiences. Congress doesn’t fund the program or balance the budget; the American people carry on wasting energy and dropping out of school. But there are occasions when presidential words are not mere puffs of breath and waves of sound—and today was one of those occasions. Ever since Vladimir Putin launched his war on Ukraine, the question has been whether the United States would really act to defend its new NATO allies on Russia’s borders.
Partly for economic reasons, partly to appease the Kremlin, NATO did not garrison the new member states on Russia’s border. The worry has intensified since Barack Obama came to power. No Eastern European good deed went unpunished. Gutiérrez On Coming Obama Executive Amnesty: 'Get Prepared' “It's music to my ears that someone would have a source at the White House that say it's 5 million.
Let me just say, tomorrow, the next day, and all of this week we're getting ready,” he said. Gutiérrez appeared on MSNBC's Jose Diaz-Balart after MSNBC senior White House correspondent Chris Jansing said that senior White House officials expect Obama to grant executive amnesty to around 5 million illegal immigrants after his European trip to Estonia and Wales next week. Reports have indicated that the executive action President Obama is planning to make by the end of summer could legalize some 5 million undocumented immigrants. Center of American Politics - Statistics and Numbers on American Politics. Published in the Nov. 2013 issue An exclusive Esquire-NBC News survey shows us that everything we are told about politics in America today—that there is no middle ground between left and right, blue and red, us and them—is wrong. The data, compiled by the Benenson Strategy Group (pollster for Obama for America '08 and '12) and Neil Newhouse of Public Opinion Strategies (lead pollster for Romney for President), show us there is a large group of American voters—even a majority—who make up a New American Center that is passionate, persuadable, and very real.

Washington (CNN) – Four decades after President Richard Nixon resigned, a slight majority of Americans still consider Watergate a very serious matter, a new national survey shows.
But how serious depends on when you were born. The CNN/ORC International poll's release comes one day before the 40th anniversary of Nixon's resignation on August 9, 1974. With the Watergate scandal escalating, the second-term Republican president had lost much of his political backing, and he faced almost certain impeachment and the prospects of being removed from office by a Democratic-dominated House and Senate.
