Obama's bus trip to 'connect' with Americans Posted: 13 Aug 2011 12:00 PM PDT While Republicans have accused Obama of mixing policy with politics by barnstorming in the battleground region ahead of the 2012 elections, White House say it was a chance for the president to hit the reset button and connect with ordinary Americans after the political logjam over raising the nation's debt ceiling. "Democrats, independents and Republicans expect to see their president of the United States outside of Washington, DC, out from behind the podium, spending time talking to the American people in their communities," White House spokesman Josh Earnest said Friday. Without a direction mention of Republicans, Obama this week blamed the Congress for the bitterness that led to an eleventh-hour debt limit agreement, and Earnest said the president was expecting to hear more anger on the road. "The president does anticipate that he'll detect a little frustration about the dysfunction in Congress, and the strident position of some in Congress to put their partisan affiliation ahead of the country," he said. Obama will be travelling to Minnesota, Iowa and Illinois, three states he won in 2008 but that saw Republican gains last year. He needs to win them again states next year to return to the White House for a second term. "I anticipate that there will be some people who are supporters of the president, who voted for him last time, who will have some questions for him about the compromises that he was willing to make," Earnest said. "But that is something that the president believes is an important part of leadership ... moving off our maximalist positions and demonstrating a willingness to compromise." |
India dethroned, worst humiliation in 40 years Posted: 13 Aug 2011 11:56 AM PDT NEW DELHI: Trailing by 451 runs, Indian batsmen Gautam Gambhir and Rahul Dravid resumed their innings on Day 4 of the third Test against England at Edgbaston in Birmingham. Scorecard | View Hawk-eye On Friday, Gambhir (14*) and Dravid (18*) were at the crease when stumps were drawn for the day as India reached 35/1. India lost Virender Sehwag yet again for a first ball duck after England declared their first innings 710/7, taking a mammoth 486 runs lead. With two days left in the match, Indians will have to bat out of their skin to save the Test on an Edgbaston track which is expected to deteriorate on the last day. The highlight of the third day was Alastair Cook's splendid batting, who hit a career-best 294 and batted for 767 minutes and grinded the Indian attack down for 545 balls, hitting 33 fours. |
