Mark my words, history will remember President Zardari as one of the greatest and most successful leaders the country has ever seen.

For many Americans, 'Vietnam' is a word associated with war and the extraordinarily complex history between our countries. But since normalization began, the U.S. and Vietnam have steadily built bonds of partnership, demonstrating that we can recognize history without being imprisoned by it.

President Obama is one of the great political knife-fighters in modern history. He is a failed president - his economy is bleak, his foreign policy bleaker, his vision for American even bleaker still. But he wins.
Despite the fact that he has run the most incompetent administration in history, President Obama remains a solid bet for re-election in 2012.
