At his first White House briefing after House passage of the debt-reduction plan, Press Secretary Jay Carney hailed it as a “victory for the American people.”

Kiley Hernandez wrote a new blog post: More or Less Invisible?

The political elites believe the unemployed DO NOT vote. Like an urban myth, that idea is taking on a life of its own.
