Thu, 3 Dec 2009 04:58 pm PST
Georgie Anne Geyer - WASHINGTON -- His demeanor was not that of a young and inexperienced president, but that of an elder statesman. There was none of the boyish, fun-loving, "isn't-this-all-amazing?" charm that has exemplified so much of his public life. He smiled not once. Full Story

DINNER AND A REALITY SHOW
Thu, 3 Dec 2009 02:04 pm PST
Georgie Anne Geyer - WASHINGTON -- There must have been other people at the Obamas' first state dinner last week, but frankly I am not sure.

The Crushing Legacy of Bush and Cheney
Thu, 3 Dec 2009 12:00 am PST
Joe Conason - From now on, the headlines about Afghanistan will be slugged "Obama's War," and perhaps that is fair enough given the president's many endorsements of what he has called a war of necessity.
