Formed in 1949, NATO has played a unique and essential role in maintaining security and stability throughout the past six decades.

Bankrupt “Green Energy” Company Acquired by Russian Oligarch with Ties to Putin
WASHINGTON – Following on the heels of President Barack Hussein Obama’s claim that he would have “more flexibility” on foreign policy deals with Russia after winning re-election, Russian oligarch Boris Zingarevich, who once employed now-Russian President Medvedev, has acquired full control of bankrupt stimulus recipient and “green energy” failure Ener1. Once heralded by the Obama Administration as one of the “Top 100 Recovery Act Projects Changing America,” Ener1 filed for bankruptcy in January, and was purchased by Zingarevich on March 30. The company was promised $118.5 million of stimulus money, half of which has already been paid, and the remainder of which may still be given away even after Russian control has been taken. Vice President Biden ironically (or prophetically?) said at the Ener1 manufacturing facility about this technology, “This is about the future. And the question is which nation is going to seize the future. Some nation is going to grab it by the throat.” Russia has answered Biden’s challenge in true Putin style. “This acquisition is yet another example of the failure of the President to steward taxpayer dollars wisely, and now taxpayer-funded technology is in the hands of one of Vladimir Putin’s cronies,” said American Crossroads President and CEO Steven Law. “America can’t afford to give President Obama another term with flexibility to continue putting our country at risk.” Ener1’s bankruptcy and acquisition by Russia is not only an economic failure for President Obama, but a national security failure as well, representing the latest attempt by Putin’s regime to seize American technology.

According to Ron Kirk's article Rethinking 'Made in America,' the U.S. service sector currently accounts for four out of five American jobs.
The U.S. is the largest services trading country in the world, with $1 trillion in two-way trade in 2011 and a services trade surplus last year of $179 billion (up 23% from 2010). In what economist Bradford Jensen defines as the fastest-growing services sectors, Bureau of Economic Analysis data show that the U.S. in 2010 had a trade surplus of $57 billion with the Asia-Pacific region, of $44 billion with the European Union, of $35 billion with the countries covered by the North American Free Trade Agreement (Canada and Mexico), and of $25 billion with the rest of Latin America. America's robust services exports reduced its overall trade deficit by 24% in 2010.
These days though, indie recordings are the new currency, unsigned bands are the new mainstream, and no one needs to look to major music labels to get a shot at fame. Sure, you still get your Lady Gagas and your Madonnas and your Black Eyed Peas. But the buzz about indie artists is that they get just as much fan fervour as major label artists.
Cozy relationships with government can influence many things.

The new TV show Touch, starring Kiefer Sutherland, is going global.
But the universal language of numbers and a rainbow coalition of characters aren’t the only things that give “Touch’’ its global scope. The cosmic unity of “Touch’’ is also demonstrated in how it’s being launched: all at once around the world.

President Obama: The Keystone XL pipeline would create thousands of good jobs. It would make America more energy independent and secure. It is such a common sense project that even former president Bill Clinton supports it. Why are you using your perch as the President of the United States to block the Keystone XL pipeline from being built? The people need you to fight for us, not for your Presidential Campaign.
