Ron Fournier
Obama shows no sign of easing up on negativity.
Ron Fournier
Obama might do well to remember that his fast rise from the Illinois state Senate was due in large part to an uncanny ability to make friends and find mentors.
Ron Fournier

Ron Fournier
Since declaring that she would not serve in a second Obama administration, Clinton has dismissed suggestions that she will run in 2016.
Ron Fournier
White House operatives went to great lengths to show Obama shifting focus from wars abroad to domestic issues at home.

Movies such as 'Mr. Smith Goes to Washington' in 1939 to 'Dave' in 1993 portray Washington leaders as the ultimate Everymen - decent people just like you and me, only thrust onto greatness.
