This truly is about the future of the country because we are in grave, grave danger.” Beck explained that America has had three major scandals in the White House: Former President Richard Nixon’s Watergate, the Iran-Contra scandal with former President Ronald Reagan and former President Bill Clinton’s sex scandal with Monica Lewinsky.

A relationship that he says may have had a role in the recent oil spill disaster in the Gulf of Mexico that continues to pour thousands of gallons of oil into the waters each day.Speaking to reporters following a meeting with his cabinet Obama said the current climate in which regulators approved drilling plans based on oil companies promises to use safe practices had to end. Obama said the new policy had to be “trust but verify,” a policy that may have prevented the Deepwater Horizon oil rig explosion on April 20.While Obama expressed anger about that relationship he focused his ire on oil industry executives who he said were “falling over each other to point the finger of blame” for the explosion.

The visit was not announced and is only expected to last a few hours during which Obama will meet with Afghan President Hamid Karzai as well as address U.S. forces at a base.The meeting between Obama and Karzai will likely focus on the issues of corruption and drug trafficking, two issues the U.S. has pressed the Afghan leader on in the past.While Karzai has pledged to tackle the issues they still pose a serious problem to the fragile government and have led to much criticism from U.S. officials.As part of the trip Obama will also meet with Gen. Stanley McChrystal, the commander of U.S. and NATO forces in Afghanistan, to get an “on the ground update” about the nearly decade-long war in the country.Obama’s last trip to Afghanistan was in 2008 when he campaigning for the presidency as a senator.Click here for morePolitical NewsAbout WooEBWooEB Community is a business, music andsocial networking community. http://blogs.transworldnews.com/Brendan1234567891011/Post.aspx?postID=82079 http://blogs.transworldnews.com/Brendan1234567891011/Post.aspx?postID=82079 Tue, 23 Mar 2010 16:01:48 GMT Sports U.S. President Barack Obama will be meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday afternoon, just hours after signing into law an historic healthcare bill.Obama’s scheduled talks with Netanyahu will almost certainly concentrate on Israel’s recent announcement that they would continue construction in East Jerusalem, a decision that has left peace talks with Palestinians in serious doubt.Netanyahu has reaffirmed Israel’s right to build in Jerusalem, saying the city was not a settlement but the country’s capital and with that their rights to construction were not debatable.The decision to build an additional 1,600 homes in Ramat Shlomo has undermined the peace process according to top ranking U.S. officials but Israel has ignored calls to stop the construction.Those calls could continue on Tuesday when Obama meets with Netanyahu but the Israeli leader isn’t likely to bend on the issue. According to Netanyahu the construction “in no way precludes the possibility of a two-state solution” and
