Obama should rethink the Afghanistan war for lots of reasons. It isn't making us more secure. It's costing us billions of dollars as well as jobs and lives. And now, the latest reason, he's losing key voters.

Ultimately we have more things in common than we do that separate us. Precious wants the same things we all want -- to love, to be loved and to contribute. We learn from her along the way.

February 27 is the 150th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln's speech at Cooper Union. Why was his address that night so successful, and what does it mean for us today? The answer is, a lot.

Women accounted for just 7% of directors on the 250 top-grossing movies of 2009. That's the same number as in 1987.

Most of the press reports called the health care summit a draw, with some going so far as to give the edge to the GOP. This wasn't a draw, and anyone who thinks so missed Obama's brilliant strategy.

As we observe the shifting of the journalistic landscape, a vote of gratitude and respect is due The New York Times, which has brought down two New York governors inside of two years.

I hear that it's really, really cold in Washington. No, I'm not talking about the temperature outside, but rather inside the soul of Senator Jim Bunning.

A recent statement by Corzine, labeling Goldman an industry leader, speaks volumes about how Americans feel about our financial institutions. No, Governor Corzine, its not about envy. Its about character.
