		<description><![CDATA[PETER FRASE Tonight, Barack Obama will solemnly declare the need to send 30,000 more troops to Afghanistan for reasons that, as Chris Maisano has already observed, make little sense. Though depressing, this is hardly surprising, since escalation in Afghanistan was actually one of Obama&#8217;s campaign promises. That can&#8217;t be said, however, of Obama&#8217;s newfound love [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[BHASKAR SUNKARA It’s all delightfully Orwellian: rallying working people with anti-establishment rhetoric to serve the establishment.&#160; 96 percent of these people received tax cuts under Barack Obama yet they’re suddenly “politicized” enough to participate in anti-tax rallies.&#160; Despite the natural inclination, I try to avoid contempt for the teabaggers&#8211; right-wing populism does have its roots [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[President Obama has issued a signing statement refusing to comply with several provisions of the $106 billion war funding bill he signed into law last week. Obama says he will ignore a congressional mandate to pressure the World Bank to strengthen labor and environmental standards. Obama has also rejected a provision calling for the Treasury [...]]]></description>
