Tareq and Michaele Salahi were hoping for reality TV stardom when they strolled uninvited into a Nov. 24 White House state dinner. Legal experts say the party-crashing duo may have to settle for the reality of a courtroom fight instead — and possibly a prison cell.

"They are famous for lacking a sense of ...

Many in New Delhi saw President Obama's performance last week in Beijing as acquiescent toward an emboldened Beijing, New Delhi's longtime regional rival. And they see India having a diminished role in the economic and ...

It's hardly surprising that President Barack Obama chose to schedule a White House visit by Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the dead of night Monday, because right now Obama has little to show for his 10-month effort to revive a Mideast peace process. The Israeli leader's refusal to abide by Washington's demand for a complete freeze of settlement construction in the West Bank and East Jerusalem — and the Palestinian refusal to enter talks without one — has ...

White House senior adviser Valerie Jarrett was adamant Sunday, when asked if President Obama was considering a so-called "second stimulus" to deal with the rising unemployment rate.

For the first time in more than 60 years, America is without a Kennedy on the national stage and it's more than just a sentimental loss to President Barack Obama. The last of the Kennedy brothers, Senator Edward Kennedy, died this week of brain cancer at age 77. "We shouldn't underplay the adverse effect this has on the president's healthcare fight," said Democratic strategist James Carville. Kennedy was the youngest of four brothers, the only one who died peacefully. John ...
