Hillary Clinton to Iran: Your Nuclear Efforts Are “Futile”

On Sunday's Meet the Press, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton ratcheted up her tough talk on Iran, vowing that America will do everything in its power to prevent the country from going nuclear. Maybe they need a time out, too?

Krugman: The End (of the Recession) Is Near

Is the recession over? Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman seems to think so…with a few caveats. As Krugman explained on This Week, the economy will improve but the job market will get worse. Yay?

Axelrod Won’t Waste Time Pondering Palin

With Sarah Palin finally exiting office on Sunday, most pundits are probably eager to weigh in. So why is White House adviser David Axelrod so evasive?

DeMint: Obama Is “Out of Control”

Last week, Sen. Jim DeMint made headlines in an interview where he said health reform will be Obama’s Waterloo. This Sunday, he was back with more fiery remarks on This Week with George Stephanopoulos, saying his attacks are not personal (he even likes Obama, honest!). But he then proceeded to call the president “out of control,” accusing him of creating panic, making “false promises,” and leading a “stampede” of spending.

James Crowley had “ acted stupidly” in the arrest of Henry Louis Gates, Jr., and he even floated the idea of sharing a beer with the two men in the White House.
