Clinton, Obama Renew Their Primary Fight

The long detente between President Obama and the Clintons is coming to an end. Obama’s policies are far more unpopular than he is.

Former Clinton Aide Stephanopoulos Defends Clinton

Journalists are supposed to ask tough questions. On Sunday morning’s edition of ABC News’ This Week, however, host George Stephanopoulos pursued Clinton Cash author (and Breitbart News editor) Peter Schweizer with a vehemence that suggested he had reverted to his 1990s incarnation as a spokesman for the Clinton administration.

The Times has reported that people involved in a series of Canadian uranium-mining deals channelled money to the Clinton Foundation while the firm had business before the State Department.

His five-year term as “honorary chancellor,” the company and Clinton’s staff said, had expired.
