Thu, 17 Sep 2009 00:00:00 -0700

San Francisco Examiner - By Marc Rubin - Sep. 17 (Opinion) - probably the most amount of animosity directed towards a president by southern conservatives was the animosity directed at Jimmy Carter himself, another white southerner.

Wed, 09 Sep 2009 00:00:00 -0700

San Francisco Examiner - By Marc Rubin - Sep. 09 (Opinion) - With Axelrod now reversing a reversal and saying Obama is going to support the public option no one can really know if he is supporting it or not.
