Sizing Up a Fresh Face If the four years senator Obama [Dec. 3] spent attending Indonesian elementary schools qualify as his foreign-relations experience, then having my tonsils removed qualifies me as a surgeon.

It will take generations to recover from the damage inflicted on our nation by the blunderer placed in the Oval Office by the Supreme Court, and we need someone with more experience.

Iowans appreciated Carter's personal investment in the state, the time he spent pressing the flesh with as many caucus-goers as possible.

No. Fred Thompson has got one. How many people know what it says? He spent a lot of time and money developing it. My question is: If he has got it now, how come he didn't have it as a U.S. Senator...
Bilawal, who has spent much of his life outside Pakistan, said that his father will handle the day-to-day affairs of the PPP until he finishes his studies in England. The younger man will then return to lead the party. Zidari was openly protective of his son during the press conference, at one point saying that he, not Bilawal, would answer all questions because while the young man may be the head of one of Pakistan's biggest parties he was "of a tender...
