    The problem with us and will stay on is when the horse

    runs away we will close the barn gate. President

    Barack Obama and Republican

    challenger Mitt Romney both

    have softened their positions on gun restrictions over

    the years. As they expressed shock and sorrow over the bloodshed at a Colorado

    movie theatre, neither suggested that tougher gun control could

    make a difference, a notion that has faded from political debate. Romney signed

    a ban on

    assault weapons as

    Massachusetts governor. But as the presumptive Republican nominee, he now bills

    himself as the candidate who will protect gun owners' rights. Obama called for reinstating the

    federal ban on assault weapons during his 2008 presidential campaign. But since

    his election, he hasn't sought to get that done or pushed other gun control

    proposals, either. Neither man is likely to raise gun control as a campaign

    issue — beyond Romney's insistence that an Obama presidency is bad for gun

    owners. Both say they'll protect the Second Amendment right to bear arms. A look

    at the evolution of the candidates' positions and where they stand on guns: I

    thank you Firozali A.Mulla DBA

    Hillary, like

    Angela Merkel, are shining examples of the positive impacts women are making in

    the political and social conversations worldwide. Although she has been accused

    of being too ambitious, Hillary has bucked the stereotypical reality of what

    she was expected to be. Her life should serve as a profound example for young

    women worldwide. To read more on the evolution of women go to

    That's our hardworking Secretary of State, busy running the world.

    Now, if only she would be our hardworking President of the United States -

    we could see even more progress.

    Sorry, but Oprah did in that chance in 2008....  Oprah picked race and Chicago-ness over gender and experience....   A lot of people forget about it now, but it was largely Opray's Obama push that got him moving on the inescapable path to the presidency (of course, it also took some helpf from a very badly designed campaign from Hillary et al.).

    Rather than playing in mud Hillary Clinton should come out openly and support Freedom and Democracy in Egypt without any reservation and making waves. Starting with give an ultimatum to the military and the captive Court to accept the People's verdict and allow the new elected members to rule over the nation.  It is a golden opportunity for Hillary and Obama to make history in the middle east supporting the elected government of Islamic Party and change the image of America and Americans in that part of the world Primarily and in the Islamic world generally. But, will Obama and Hillary show their guts?
