Posted by admin / Under High Dynamic Range Rendering

Obama on political high, but momentum hard to keep
Posted by admin / Under High Dynamic Range Rendering
WASHINGTON (AP) — On a political high, President Barack Obama capped a bruising year by securing a tax cut for millions of Americans — an achievement that overshadowed Washington's deepening dysfunction and the slow progress of the economy on his watch.

Addressing reporters before heading to Hawaii on Friday, Obama looked like a president in command of the stage again, for now. He left...

Critics, such as Michael Sainsbury of The Australian, are now arguing that this is the result of cut corners in the construction process:A picture is beginning to emerge of a network that has been built to unrealistic and politically driven timetables, using a mix of technologies that were given little time to be properly integrated.
