My name is frederic hof and on behalf of fred kemp, the president of the Atlantic Council and michelle done, the director of the center for the middle east, i would like to welcome you all to todays program.

What is objectively clear at this point is
Sometimes difficult to have allies in the sense of planning . They are extremely difficult sometimes. Going back to world war ii, the only thing worse than fighting a war with allies is fighting one without one. It has been sobering to see how few of our allies are stepping forward to help the United States think through what is next. The british have opted out of striking. But president obama is taking the same approach that theyve it cameron did, and he is going to his legislature, going to the congress of the United States to get support. When David Cameron did that, it failed. He said i would not strike as a result of that. The president will spend a lot of time over the next 10 days to get the support. He is reaching out to the American People to make sure he has the support of the American People before he does this. Host tony, democrat, good morning. Taking myank you for call. The first thing i have to say is they say the meaning of insanity is when you keep doing the same thing
What president obamas Health Care Law delivered. What we got is higher taxes and bigger government, without the lower costs or quality care. Are you ready to declare your independence . The socalled Affordable Care act is hurting middle class families their wages, their jobs, and their health care. On october first less than a month from today america will hit the deadline on one of the most critical and controversial parts of the obama Health Care Law. Thats when the Government Insurance exchanges go into effect.

Many families are going to have real sticker shock when they see their new insurance rates even families who get government subsidies.
