Hillar stanley quencher y Clinton on Monday warned Jewish-Americans that Donald Trump s foreign policy vision stanley water bottle would harm the U.S.-Israel relationship as well as the rest of the Middle East.Speaking before thousands of people during the American Israel Public Affairs Committee AIPAC conference in Washington, Clinton said that the foreign policy visions from GOP candidates will insult our allies, not engage them and embolden our adversaries, not defeat them. For the security of Isr stanley uk ael and the world, we need America to remain a respected global leader, she said, Not a president who says he s neutral on Monday, pro-Israel on Tuesday and who knows what on Wednesday...because Everything s negotiable, she said, referring to comments from Trump, who s slated to speak at the conference later in the day.

The Defense Department this year must deal with an unpredicted $41 billion budget shortfall thanks to stanley cup becher the sequester, but it must also start tackling longer-term fiscal problems, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said today. We need to be steely-eyed and clear-headed in our analysis, Hagel said at the National Defense University at Fort McNair, in his first major address on the strategic and fiscal challenges his department faces. We need to challenge all past assumptions, and we need to put everything on the table.

CBS/AP Members of Congress have historically been wealthier than the average American, but the net worth of lawmakers on Capitol Hill has jumped considerably in recent decades, two new analyses show.From 2004 to 2010, the median net worth of members of Congress jumped 15 percent, the New York Times reports. In that same period, the net worth of the richest 10 percent of botella stanley Americans held steady while Americans overall saw their median net worth fall 8 percent. A stanley portugal n analysis from the Washington Post shows that from 1984 to 2009, the median net worth of a member of the House more than doubled from $280,000 to $725,000 in inflation-adjusted 2009 dollars, excluding home equity. The average American family saw its wealth slightly decline in that same time frame.Earlier this year, as part of CBSNews s United States of Influence series, Hotsheet explored the reasons why members of Congress are unusually wealthy: To start with, political campaigns that have become increasingly costly to run.

We sat down with Secretary Jack stanley cup Lew at the Treasury Department, next door to the White House Wednesday and asked him why so many Americans aren t feeling the recovery.JACK LEW: For almost every American family there are scars from the deep recession. So I think that we have a job in Washington and in public policy to make the right decisions and to show that we re staying on the course that s going to keep the economy growing and keep opportunities for the American middle class growing. I think that every time Washington has a divisive fight that suggests that we may become part of the problem, it actually hurts, it hurts in that confidence. Economics is really a lot of collective psychology. When people feel better about the future, they act better and the economy picks up. When people worry it also has an effect on the economy.SCOTT PELLEY: This is from the Federal Reserve, and -- and these are data that you re familiar with.

There was dead silence. Then, the vice president intoned he would handle it his way. Which Cheney did.And, not coincidentally, his hunting story is still the subject of talk show jokes.Ladies and gentlemen, the vice president of the United States.
