...Jonah, I didn’t do it, ok? Just stay out of it!” It is awkward to watch this seemingly edgy character forced to fit into a family role, especially when she has to balance her soft, caring side for her brother with her bitter hatred for her father. This role is also one that should require more foul language or outward disrespect for authority figures than Cyrus is permitted to deliver in this Disney production.

After more than a year of bitter political debate and seemingly inescapable congressional deadlock, President Obama sat down in the White House East Room on March 23 and signed the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act into law with a stroke of his pen. And then another pen. And another. Obama used 22 pens to sign the landmark $938 billion health care bill.
