		<title>A Wealth Gap or a Crisis of Confidence?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Winston Churchill once wrote: “You don&#8217;t make the poor richer by making the rich poorer.” If he were sitting in the House chamber during President Barack Obama’s State of the Union Address, Churchill would have been flabbergasted by the contention that a “wealth gap” was the cause of the nation’s woes.

		<title>Five Hot Spots That Have Obama Running Scared</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As we race toward the November election, you can be sure that President Barack Obama and his disciples will be ticking off his perceived accomplishments in his bid to win re-election.

		<title>The Waiting is the Hardest Part</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As I watch the general malaise gripping Washington, I find myself thinking about the lyrics of Tom Petty’s hit song: “The waiting is the hardest part.” I know I am not the only one waiting for something to happen to get this nation back on track.

		<title>There’s More to Asia Than China</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Many Americans, including those in Congress, have a myopic view of the Asia-Pacific region.
