MSNBC's Martin Bashir: Sarah Palin’s Bus Tour "Could Be In Breach of a Federal Law"
What?
h/t freedomslighthouse

In his accusatory “Clear the Air” segment, the former ABC Nightline anchor lectured Palin that “standards of respect and etiquette” discourage using the American flag for “any advertising purpose whatsoever.”read more at newsbusters
“She drapes herself in the stars and stripes and makes millions of dollars in the process,” chided Bashir. “This has got nothing to do with the presidency and everything to do with filling her pockets.”
The only problem: the Supreme Court ruled in 1989 that flag burning is protected by the First Amendment. If flag burning is protected speech, certainly displaying the flag on a tour bus is legal. Or do the rules not apply to Sarah Palin? In Bashir’s warped sense of reality, conservatives like Palin would be arrested for flying the American flag at rallies in which they promote causes that Bashir does not support
House Rejects Debt Limit Increase Without Spending Cuts
Very lopsided vote: 97 in favor, 318 against
Associated Press
WASHINGTON – House Republicans dealt defeat to their own proposal for a $2.4 trillion increase in the nation's debt limit Tuesday, a political gambit designed to reinforce a demand for spending cuts to accompany any increase in government borrowing.
House Democrats accused the GOP of political demagoguery, while the Obama administration maneuvered to avoid taking sides — or giving offense to majority Republicans.
The debate was brief, occasionally impassioned and set a standard of sorts for public theater, particularly at a time when private negotiations continue among the administration and key lawmakers on the deficit cuts Republicans have demanded.
The bill "will and must fail," said Rep. Dave Camp, R-Mich., the House Ways and Means Committee chairman who noted he had helped write the very measure he was criticizing.
"I consider defeating an unconditional increase to be a success, because it sends a clear and critical message that the Congress has finally recognized we must immediately begin to rein in America's affection for deficit spending," he said.

Florida Govenor Rick Scott Signs Bill Requiring Welfare Applicants To Undergo Drug Testing
"While there are certainly legitimate needs for public assistance, it is unfair for Florida taxpayers to subsidize drug addiction"
cbs4.com
TALLAHASSEE – Expect challenges to a bill signed by Governor Rick Scott which will require welfare applicants to undergo drug testing.
The bill also requires that those who apply for welfare must pay for the drug testing out of their own pockets. However, the cost would be reimbursed if the person passes the drug test.
Republicans said the measure was needed because if taxpayers are screened at their place of employment, so should welfare recipients. The drug testing bill was a priority for Scott.
“While there are certainly legitimate needs for public assistance, it is unfair for Florida taxpayers to subsidize drug addiction,” Governor Scott said. “This new law will encourage personal accountability and will help to prevent the misuse of tax dollars.”
A similar law which passed in Michigan in 1999 which required random drug testing of Welfare recipients lasted five weeks before it was stopped by a judge. An appeals court ruled it unconstitutional after a four-year legal battle.
On Tuesday, Scott also signed into law another measure that bans the designer drug MDPV or “bath salts.”
Poison control centers in Florida have reported 61 calls of “bath salts” abuse, making Florida the state with the second-highest volume of calls. The hallucinogenic substances are readily available at convenience stores, discount tobacco outlets, gas stations, pawnshops, tattoo parlors, and truck stops, among other locations
Herman Cain Releases the 'Cain Train Music Video'
watimes
Kerry Picket: I'm really digging this new Herman Cain video that his presidential campaign just released. While Mr. Cain may have stumbled on a Fox News interview regarding Israel and the "Right of Return" recently, a liberal activist with a flip cam may have a tougher time re-producing a similar result. What other Republican candidate for office features Think Progress's Lee Fang doing his thing with the flip cam in a GOP primary promotional video? (2:20)
The music video introduces former CEO of Godfather's Pizza in a manner that shows he is the true grassroots candidate. Political observers have gone from secretly admiring Mr. Cain's views and campaign style but rueing that the southern Republican had no chance against headliner Republicans to watching Cain's star rise and start believing he may very well at least hold some important leverage in the GOP primary.
Two Iraqis Charged In Kentucky With Terrorism Plotting, Including Providing Support to Al Qaeda
Associated Press
BOWLING GREEN, Ky. (AP) -- Two Iraqis have been indicted in Kentucky on federal terrorism charges, including allegations that they provided support to Al-Qaeda in Iraq and conspired to transport Stinger missiles overseas.
Thirty-year-old Waad Ramadan Alwan and 23-year-old Mohanad Shareef Hammadi, both former residents of Iraq who currently live in Bowling Green, were charged in a 23-count indictment returned by a federal grand jury in Bowling Green.
The 23-count indictment was unsealed Tuesday after the pair made their initial appearances in federal court in Louisville.
Neither is charged with plotting attacks within the United States. Prosecutors identified Alwan as a one-time member of the Iraqi insurgency who planted improvised explosive devices aimed at killing U.S. troops in the country over eight years.
They could face life in prison if convicted

Paul Ryan Fans Launch Campaign to Draft Him for Presidential Run
I think Ryan has made it clear that he's not gonna run
dailycaller
Enthusiastic fans are attempting to “draft” House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan, a Wisconsin Republican, to run for president.more at the National Journal
Republicans unhappy with the current line-up of candidates have launched DraftRyanNow.com, a website that hosts a petition to recruit Ryan.
The website is a work in progress, with petition and donation pages not currently operational.
The National Journal reports that the website is operated by Denison Smith, a DC-area communications investor, and Nevada lawyer Charles Kozak.
Smith told the National Journal that Ryan stood apart from others because of his work to address the national debt. “Ryan is the only one of the whole group — other than Herman Cain — to speak to it,” Smith said.
Although Ryan is his first choice, Smith admitted that Cain is second. “They’d make a wonderful combination,” Smith said.
Last week former Vice President Dick Cheney said that he worships “the ground Paul Ryan walks on,” but that he didn’t want Ryan to run for president. A campaign for president would “ruin a good man who has a lot of work to do,” Cheney said.

It’s all systems go for Rep. Michele Bachmann. Her last daughter leaves the nest this week and she scheduled an announcement next month in Iowa.
“We’ll be making it in the city where I was born, conveniently enough in Waterloo, Iowa. So I’m looking forward to that,” she told me.
As I said on "GMA" I don’t think you go to Waterloo to say you’re not running for president.
And Sarah Palin’s not going to stop her either. The Minnesota Republican insisted there was enough room for two Tea Party favorites in the 2012 race. And she told me she would have no problem running against the woman she considers a friend.
“All I want to say that I like Sarah Palin a lot, we’re friends. And I don’t consider her a competitor, I consider her a friend. But my comparison ultimately is to Barack Obama,” Bachmann said.
South African President: Gadhafi Ready For Truce

Tripoli-Moammar Gadhafi is ready for a truce to stop the fighting in his country, the visiting South African president said Monday after meeting the Libyan ruler, but he listed familiar Gadhafi conditions that have scuttled previous cease-fire efforts. Rebels quickly rejected the offer.
South African President Jacob Zuma said Gadhafi is ready to accept an African Union initiative for a cease-fire that would stop all hostilities, including NATO airstrikes in support of rebel forces. "He is ready to implement the road map," Zuma said.
Zuma said Gadhafi insists that "all Libyans be given a chance to talk among themselves" to determine the country's future. He did not say Gadhafi is ready to step down, which is the central demand of the rebels. He was speaking to reporters from South African and Libyan TV, which broadcast his remarks late Monday.
In April, Zuma led a delegation of the African Union to Tripoli with an AU proposal for a truce. Gadhafi said he would accept the truce but quickly ignored it and resumed his attacks, while the rebels rejected the cease-fire out of hand because it did not include Gadhafi's exit from power. Since then many cease-fire efforts have failed for similar reasons.
More Pain at the Pump: Gas Prices Threaten Meals On Wheels
"We can't find volunteer drivers to make these runs."

Philadelphia has one of the largest elderly populations in the country.
Many need help with the basics like getting food to eat every day, but that service may be in jeopardy because of high gas prices.
A lot of volunteers who want to help out by bringing the elderly food have had to bow out because they can't afford to fill their tank to drive over food.
That could be devastating for the homebound.
Once a week Dan Goldberg gets in his car and brings food to those in need. It makes a difference in Martha's life.
But organizations like aid for friends and the Klein Jewish Community Center have both seen a 20 percent drop in their volunteers because of high gas prices.
Money spent on drivers means less money for food. Not just their life, but their spirit.
"I think it's the connection with the outside world, a lot of seniors feel as though they've been thrown to the curb," he says.
But that connection is facing a very real threat: a tough economy that is taking a toll on volunteers who want to help but can't afford it anymore.
These organizations make quite an impact on the community, together delivering almost 500,000 meals every year.
It is going to make things really tough if they have to start picking up the tab for gas as well as food to meet the need out

Obama Names New Chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staff, Replacing Adm. Mike Mullen
foxnews
President Obama nominated Army Gen. Martin Dempsey on Monday as his pick to be the next chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, replacing Navy Adm. Mike Mullen, whose term ends Sept.30
Dempsey, an accomplished veteran of the Iraq war and the current Army chief of staff who's only been in his post for one month, will need Senate confirmation.
The president also named Adm. James Winnefeld, the commander of Northern Command, to be his vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs, replacing Marine Gen. James Cartwright. While not a household name, sources describe him as a smart officer, who is well-known at the White House. One source described him as "Mullen's guy."
In a Rose Garden announcement, the president said Dempsey is "one of our nation's most respected and combat-tested generals." Obama said both men have had the trust and respect of the troops on the front lines and in Congress.
"Marty, your tenure as chief may go down as one of the shortest in Army history. But it's your lifetime of accomplishment that brings us here today," Obama said

ABC News' Sheila Marikar reports: For the riders of Rolling Thunder, the news that Sarah Palin will participate in their national rally on Sunday came as a surprise. A welcome surprise.
“I think that’s wonderful,” said Gerri Tramel, president of one of Rolling Thunder’s Tennessee chapters. “Anybody that’s involved -- Republican, Democrat, independent, whatever -- if you’re involved with our veterans, I think that’s wonderful. Not just Sarah Palin -- anyone that’s a politician.”
For more than 20 years, as many as half a million motorcycle riders from across the country have descended on Washington, D.C., during Memorial Day weekend to raise awareness about prisoners of war and those missing in action. Rolling Thunder announced Thursday that Palin accepted an invitation to participate in its May 29 rally. She’ll kick off her One Nation Tour the same day, a bus trip along the northeast coast that aims “to educate and energize Americans about our nation's founding principles.”
Asked how Palin came to be involved with the rally, Rolling Thunder spokeswoman Nancy Regg said, “I honestly don’t know.”
“I’m not the person that invited her,” she said. “We send letters to people all the time and invite them. We invited her to ride, she has accepted and she and her husband have both agreed to ride for us.”

Eric Cantor: No More Government 'Gimmicks' With The Economy
GOP Weekly Address: Getting Americans back to work
Rep. Eric Cantor (R-Va.) continued the rollout of the House GOP economic growth package Saturday, using the party’s weekly address to press the case that Republicans will get government out of the way of job creators.
“For too long, Washington has relied on gimmicks or government-knows-best solutions,” said Cantor, the House majority leader. “No more. Now, more than ever, our nation needs small businesses and entrepreneurs to get people back to work.”
The Virginia Republican’s address comes shortly after his conference unveiled the second part of what they call a “Cut and Grow” strategy, an initiative Cantor has been pushing throughout his almost five months as majority leader.
The economic growth plan features proposals that Republicans have already been pushing for, including reducing top tax rates to 25 percent, passing a trio of pending trade agreements, rolling back government regulations and overhauling the nation’s patent system. via thehill.com

ATLANTA - A plane landing at Atlanta’s Hartsfield Jackson International Airport blew a tire causing the plane to catch fire. Fire officials are reporting four people were treated with minor injuries. Passengers were forced to make an emergency evacuation of the plane while on an airport ramp.Raw video
FOX 5 witnessed the event unfolding live as fire crews used foam spray to douse the flames near the landing gear and tires. The MD-88 landed just after 4 p.m. on Saturday. The plane ended up on a ramp just off of Runway 8L, the northern most runway of the airport's five runways. The flames seen under the fuselage were quickly extinguished.
Federal Aviation Administration spokesperson Kathleen Bergen said Delta Flight 2284 from Pittsburgh was landing in Atlanta when one of its tire blew on one of the plane's rear landing gears. She said the hot brakes and blown tire are both likely causes of the fire. Passengers were evacuated by using the emergency stairs in the rear of the plane.

Egypt Opens Border With Gaza Despite Israel's Concerns
Israeli official fears an increase in the 'vast quantities of weaponry' smuggled across the border
msnbc
RAFAH, Gaza Strip — After four years, Egypt on Saturday permanently opened the Gaza Strip's main gateway to the outside world, bringing long-awaited relief to the territory's Palestinian population and a significant achievement for the area's ruling Hamas militant group.
The reopening of the Rafah border crossing eases an Egyptian blockade of Gaza that has prevented the vast majority of the densely populated area's 1.5 million people from being able to travel abroad.
The closure, along with an Israeli blockade of its borders with Gaza, has fueled an economic crisis in the territory.
But Saturday's move also raises Israeli fears that militants will be able to move freely in and out of Gaza.
Highlighting those fears, the Israeli army said militants from inside Gaza fired a mortar shell into southern Israel overnight. There were no injuries, and Israel did not respond.
"I believe this a unique move and positive development," said Ghazi Hamad, Hamas's deputy foreign minister.
"We will cooperate with Egyptian brothers to make sure the new arrangements get implemented smoothly and accurately," he added. "We even hope that 1,000 people will be able to cross every day

He is completely running on the following bet: Americans are against the debt in the abstract but if you touch anything of the entitlements, you’re going to lose. And thus between now and at least until Election Day, Democrats will do absolutely nothing on entitlements except demagogue it

Rick Santorum To Lose Radio Gig For White House Run
Salem Radio says "if he, in fact does formally declare his candidacy for president we will no longer use him as a guest host on Bill Bennett’s Morning In America"
politico
First he lost his gig at Fox News. Now the Salem Radio Network is taking away Rick Santorum’s microphone, too.
Every Friday for almost two years, the former Pennsylvania senator has been the guest host for “Bill Bennett’s Morning In America,” a nationally syndicated radio program broadcast hitting 3.5 million listeners on over 200 affiliates. He talks about foreign policy and his differences with the Obama administration over government entitlements.
He talks with guests drawn from the usual conservative radio stable. He takes the occasional bit of political advice from listeners — and though he doesn’t explicitly talk much about his campaign, he talks about his travels on the trail and as recently as Friday’s show, encouraged one supporter to visit his campaign website “if you want to put some muscle to that endorsement.”
But come June 6, when Santorum will officially declare his candidacy near a Western Pennsylvania coal mine where his grandfather once worked, that will all be over.
“If he, in fact, does formally declare his candidacy for president we will no longer use him as a guest host on ‘Bill Bennett’s Morning In America,’” said Tom Tradup, vice president for news and talk programming at the Dallas-based Salem Radio Network, which produces and distributes the show.

Poll: Rudy Giuliani Narrowly Leads GOP Field
Giuliani leads if he enters the race in new CNN poll, if he decides not to get in, Mitt Romney leads.
politicalticker
Washington - Call it a sign of how unsettled the GOP presidential field remains: Two of the three people at the top of new national poll in the battle for the Republican nomination may not even run for the White House. And a CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey also suggests that there is not a lot of enthusiasm about any of the major candidates.Without Giuliani
According to the poll, which was released Friday, 16 percent of Republicans and independents who lean towards the GOP say they would most likely support Rudy Giuliani as their party's nominee. One point behind, at 15 percent is Mitt Romney, with Sarah Palin coming in at 13 percent.
Romney, the former Massachusetts governor and 2008 GOP White House hopeful, will officially announce his candidacy for president next Thursday. Neither Palin nor Giuliani have taken concrete steps toward a run.
Palin, the former Alaska governor and 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee, has increasingly sent signals that she is interested in running. On Sunday she kicks off a campaign-style bus tour, but she has not publicly worked toward hiring staff or building an organization in any of the early voting states in the primary and caucus calendar

Busting Gas Price Myths (Video)
Heritage Foundation

As Americans across the country gas up their cars for their Memorial Day getaways this year, their wallets will take a bigger-than-usual hit. That's because gas prices are up $1.06 from last year according to a study by AAA. In fact prices have more than doubled since President Obama took office.
And while the media has been slow to demand answers of the President, he has been busy trying to deflect attention away from his incoherent energy policy with a number of gas price-related myths. From overstating the impact of green energy to downplaying the devastating impact of his drilling moratorium, the President should spend less time trying to deflect criticism and more time working to ease pain at the pump

U.S. Official: Osama Bin Laden Thought About Seeking Deal With Pakistan
Bin Laden wanted protection from Pakistan for Al Qaeda leaders
cnn.com
Washington Osama bin Laden considered seeking a deal with Pakistan under which al Qaeda leaders in the country would be protected and, in return, al Qaeda would refrain from attacking Pakistan, a U.S. official told CNN Friday.
The revelation surfaced as American agents analyzed the documents that were seized in the May 2 raid of bin Laden's compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, according to the official, who was not authorized to speak on the record.
The documents show the al Qaeda leader communicated with his operations chief, Atiya Abdul Rahman, about a possible deal with Pakistan, the official said.
The New York Times first reported on the possible deal.
The official said there is no evidence an approach was ever made to any Pakistani officials to try to cut such a deal.
"This appeared to be a discussion inside al Qaeda," the official said.
In the aftermath of the raid, U.S. officials have said that they suspect elements of the Pakistani government knew of bin Laden's hideaway in Abbottabad. But Secretary of Defense Robert Gates said recently that was just a "supposition."
The U.S. official would say Friday only that the Pakistanis are conducting their own investigation and that the United States "has no evidence Pakistan was aware he was living in Abbottabad

The outspoken conservative, who for months said he wasn't interesting in running for the White House, said he will decide whether to enter the race after the Texas Legislature adjourns Monday.
Perry has been the subject of speculation as some Republicans lamented the slate of GOP candidates planning to challenge President Barack Obama. When asked about the race before Friday, Perry had said repeatedly he was focused on the state's legislative session and not the 2012 presidential race.
Asked once again on Friday if he'd consider a run, Perry said: "I'm going to think about it."
The presidential buzz surrounding Perry increased last week after his speech to Republican insiders in Dallas won rave reviews. Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh spent 20 minutes on his talk show a few days later espousing Perry's appeal as a candidate.
A "Draft Perry 2012" Web site went live that night, sponsored by California Assemblyman Dan Logue. Five other California lawmakers are listed as sponsors. Logue led a delegation of California lawmakers that visited Austin in April to see why so many businesses from the state had moved to Texas
Russia Now Says Qaddafi Must Go
In change of tone, Moscow believes the Libyan leader should give up his rule and is prepared to help broker his departure, a senior Russian official said
reuters -
Russia believes Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi should quit and could help broker his departure, a senior Russian official said on Friday in an important boost to NATO powers bent on ending his 41-year rule.
It was a striking change in tone from Kremlin criticism of Western air strikes in Libya officially intended to protect civilians in a civil war but effectively taking the side of rebels seeking Gaddafi's removal and democratic change
NATO said it was preparing to deploy attack helicopters over the Arab North African state for the first time to add to the pressure on Gaddafi's forces on the ground.
But his security forces demonstrated once again that they are far from a spent force, launching rocket attacks overnight on the rebel-held town of Zintan and fighting insurgents on the outskirts of the city of Misrata.
The Russian mediation offer was announced on the sidelines of the Group of Eight summit in Deauville, France, where Russian President Dmitry Medvedev was among the heads of state in attendance.
"Colonel Gaddafi has deprived himself of legitimacy with his actions. We should help him leave," Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said in Deauville
DNC Chair Wasserman Schultz: Democrats Will Regain House as Voters Reject 'Hardcore, Radical' GOP Agenda
Wasserman Schultz says 'the results of the past two weeks of special elections really bode well for Democrat's chances in 2012.' Unbelievable. This is how the Dems operate (with the help from the lib media). A 63 seat loss in the House for the Democrats in election 2010 is a non-story, but a special election win in New York in a Republican district? Why that's evidence of a Dem tidal wave
abcnews
Six months after Republicans regained control of the House of Representatives, DNC chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz thinks voters have seen enough and are ready to return Democrats to power.
“The election results of the past two weeks of special elections really bode well for Democrats chances up and down the ticket in 2012,” the Florida congresswoman told reporters today.
The election last week of an African-American Democratic mayor in Jacksonville, Fla., a staunchly conservative city; a Democratic state representative in a conservative New Hampshire district; and a Democratic U.S. representative from the solidly-red 26th district of New York are all indicators Democrats have momentum, she said.
“All of those elections turned on the hardcore, radical, right-wing agenda that the Republicans have given us a preview of if they were given total control of all branches of government,” Schultz said. “And the voters have resoundingly rejected those overtures, their agenda.”
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton Makes Surprise Visit to Pakistan
NBC News
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton arrived in Islamabad on Friday in a surprise visit amid frayed relations with the U.S. nuclear-armed ally after the death of Osama bin Laden.
The discovery of the al-Qaida leader in a garrison town just 30 miles away from the capital Islamabad raised fresh doubts about Pakistan being a reliable partner in the U.S.-led war on Islamist militancy.
Clinton joined Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, to deliver a twofold message on Friday.
Amid frustration in both countries over the other's priorities, the U.S. delegation is asking for specific counterterrorism help, and warning that billions of dollars in U.S. aid may be on the line.
Senior administration officials told NBC News that Clinton will discuss in detail the steps the U.S. wants the Pakistanis to take going forward but would not go so far as to say funding to Pakistan is in jeopardy. She plans to meet with senior Pakistani officials including President Asif Ali Zardari, Acting Foreign Secretary Hina Rabbani Khar, Pakistani Army Chief General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani, and ISI Chief General Ahmed Shuja Pasha.

Poll: Just 12% of Israeli Jews Consider Obama To Be Pro-Israel

Despite AIPAC speech intended to correct impressions that he was hostile toward Israel, 40% of 600 Jewish Israelis deem US administration pro-Palestinian in Smith Research poll sponsored by 'The Jerusalem Post.'Pro-Israel, Pro-Palestinian or Neutral
US President Barack Obama’s attempt to portray himself as pro-Israel in a high-profile speech to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee on Sunday did not succeed, according to a Smith Research poll sponsored by The Jerusalem Post.
The speech was intended to correct impressions that he was hostile toward Israel, which may have been reinforced by a landmark address about the Middle East that he delivered at the State Department last Thursday, and by a tense press conference at the White House on Friday with Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu
When asked in the poll whether they saw Obama’s administration as more pro-Israel, more pro-Palestinian or neutral, just 12 percent of Israeli Jews surveyed said more pro-Israel, while 40% said more pro-Palestinian, 34% said neutral and 13% did not express an opinion

7 NATO Service Members Killed in Afghanistan Were All Americans
7 dead, Taliban claims responsibility for the roadside bomb
foxnews
KABUL, Afghanistan – A U.S. official says that Seven NATO service members killed in explosion in southern Afghanistan were Americans.
NATO said in a statement that all seven died in a roadside bomb explosion Thursday. The coalition did not release further details.
Tens of thousands of U.S., NATO and Afghan forces have been working for months to rout the Taliban from their strongholds in the south. The Taliban have retaliated with targeted assassinations of Afghan officials and attacks on Afghan and coalition forces.
House Defeats Effort To Scale Down Afghanistan War
Vote was 204-215
thehill
The House on Thursday narrowly shot down an amendment to scale back military operations in Afghanistan.
In a close 204-215 vote, the House rejected a bipartisan amendment from Reps. Jim McGovern (D-Mass.), Justin Amash (R-Mich.) and others that would have required the Department of Defense to develop a plan for an "accelerated transition of military operations to Afghan authorities."
Twenty-six Republicans voted in favor of the accelerated transition, and all but eight Democrats supported the amendment, which supporters stressed was a plan to speed up the withdrawal, not an immediate requirement to withdraw forces.
The vote comes as the Obama administration faces increasing pressure to remove troops from Afghanistan. Polls show the war, nearly a decade long, is unpopular with voters.
Rep. McGovern argued that passing the Afghanistan language would send the Obama administration a "clear signal of support for a meaningful draw-down of troops," beyond the draw-down that Obama has planned. The administration said earlier this year that it plans to start withdrawing only 5,000 of the 100,000 troops in Afghanistan by this summer, far less than many had hoped

Obama Ahead of The Republican Field in Wisconsin 2012
While the GOP hasn't carried Wisconsin in a general since Reagan in 1984, Bush came real close in 2000 and 2004 losing by less than 2% both times.
publicpolicypolling
In 2000 and 2004 Wisconsin was one of the most closely contested battleground states in the country. In 2008 Barack Obama won it in a blowout. Right now it looks like the 2012 race in the state will shape up more like 2008 than 2000 or 2004.Wisconsin 2012
Obama leads Mitt Romney by 12 points at 51-39, Newt Gingrich by 18 points at 53-35, and Sarah Palin by 19 points at 55-36 in the state.
Part of Obama's strength is that he is decently popular in the state. 52% of voters approve of the job he's doing to 44% who disapprove. Although his reviews are almost completely polarized along party lines, he does have slightly more Republicans (11%) who approve of the job he's doing than Democrats (8%) who disapprove. That's usually the other way around. He's also on positive ground with independents at 50/43.
Obama does appear to have received a bit of a bounce in Wisconsin in recent weeks. When we polled the state in February his approval was a net +4 spread at 49/45, so he's improved by 4 points on that front. And while his lead over Palin is unchanged from then, his advantage over Gingrich has improved by 6 points and against Romney it's up by 2.

Judge Strikes Down Wisconsin Collective Bargaining Law
Headed to the state Supreme Court
AP
MADISON, Wis. -- Wisconsin's law taking away nearly all collective bargaining rights from most public workers was struck down Thursday by a circuit court judge but the ruling will not be the final say in the union fight that brought tens of thousands of protesters to the Capitol earlier this year.
The state Supreme Court has scheduled arguments for June 6 to decide whether it will take the case. Republicans who control the Legislature also could pass the law a second time to avoid the open meeting violations that led to the judge's voiding the law Thursday.
Gov. Scott Walker pushed for the law as a way to help balance the state budget that was projected to be $3.6 billion short when he introduced the proposal in February. His spokesman, Cullen Werwie, said the governor would have no comment on the ruling.
Spokesmen for Republican leaders in the Legislature did not immediately return messages seeking comment

Senate Democrats To Join Rebuke of Obama For Calling For Israel to Return to 1967 Borders
You're on your own on this one Barry...
thehill
Senate Democrats are expected to support a resolution intended as a rebuff to President Obama’s call for basing Middle East peace talks on the 1967 Israeli-Palestinian borders.Flashback:
It would be a rare rebuke of the president by the upper chamber and a sign that Democrats are worried about the impact of last week’s speech on the U.S.-Israel relationship and pro-Israel constituents.
Democrats in both chambers are scrambling to fix the damage caused when Obama called for the 1967 borders and land swaps as a basis for peace.
Some Democrats have tried to downplay the rift, but Israel’s strongest supporters in Congress say there’s no denying that Obama made a tactical mistake in handling the relationship.
“I wish that the president had not made the speech on Thursday, particularly not made it — I gather — without much consultation” with Israel, said Sen. Joe Lieberman (Conn.), an Independent who caucuses with Democrats. “So I think it was a tactical mistake.”
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) rebuked Obama over Israel in a speech to AIPAC on Monday.
House Democratic Whip Steny Hoyer (Md.) offered a similarly rousing defense of Israel while speaking to AIPAC on Sunday
Candidate Obama in April 2008 (speaking to Jewish leaders in Philadelphia) says dividing Jerusalem along the 1967 borders "is NOT going to be an option." Another promise with an expiration date.

ABC News’ Jonathan Karl reports:The day after the stunning upset in the special congressional election in upstate New York, Rep. Paul Ryan is a man under fire.
But ABC News was behind the scenes with the Wisconsin Congressman and GOP Budget Committee Chairman when he got some words of encouragement none other than former President Bill Clinton.
"So anyway, I told them before you got here, I said I’m glad we won this race in New York," Clinton told Ryan, when the two met backstage at a forum on the national debt held by the Pete Peterson Foundation. But he added, “I hope Democrats don't use this as an excuse to do nothing.”
Ryan told Clinton he fears that now nothing will get done in Washington.
“My guess is it’s going to sink into paralysis is what’s going to happen. And you know the math. It’s just, I mean, we knew we were putting ourselves out there. You gotta start this. You gotta get out there. You gotta get this thing moving,” Ryan said.
Clinton told Ryan that if he ever wanted to talk about it, he should “give me a call.” Ryan said he would
