Obama Less Successful Than 'Unilateralist' Bush Was in Pushing U.N. Security Council to Sanction Iran
(CNSNews.com) – The Obama administration is playing down the absence of U.N. Security Council unanimity in adopting new sanctions against Iran on Wednesday, attributing three members' refusal to back the resolution to differences over "timing and tactics." For all its supposed unilateralism and unpopularity at the U.N., the Bush administration was twice able to pull off what the current administration has not – a 15 out of 15 vote in the council for sanctions against Tehran.

On the last three days of March, teams of temporary Census Bureau workers visited the types of places where homeless people are known to congregate. The bureau gave these workers two instructions that seemed peculiar: When they counted a homeless person, the workers did not need to take the person's name or date of birth; and if a presumed homeless person insisted that he or she had already been counted by the Census, the workers were supposed to count that person anyway. On Wednesday, I asked the Census Bureau why it told enumerators to do this -- and what process it is using to remove duplicate records…
Who Does President Obama Really Hate?
By Ben Shapiro
Every president has to draw a line in the sand. Every president has to determine just how far he's willing to be pushed around.
