With 2010 finding our government institutions tone deaf and disengaged on addressing our mounting constitutional crises, there have been few riper times for a transpartisan political offensive.

The government would reap $45 billion in extra tax revenues if the number of high school dropouts in the U.S. were cut in half by 2018. That's an economic stimulus package that everyone should be able to get behind.

The Obama administration seems to have repeatedly gone out of its way to suggest that it is British oil -- "British Petroleum" -- that is wreaking havoc in our waters. Does the Obama White House have something against the Brits?

In the 2010 midterms, the DNC will have to convince voters who went to the polls for the first time for Obama to vote for Democratic candidates and incumbents lacking Obama's charisma.

Obama's behavior on the Gaza flotilla hardly deserves the label policy. Its fecklessness raises the question of whether our leaders have the seriousness to be stewards of the nation's foreign relations.

It's unsurprisingly hypocritical for Richard Painter, who was in the thick of some of Bush era political chicanery in Rove's West Wing, to attack Obama and use his administration as the poster-child for partisan opportunism.
