Call
it a coincidence, but between White House business and campaign events,
President Obama has delivered speeches or campaign remarks that
coincided with almost every major Republican presidential election this
cycle -- often using the occasions to attack Mitt Romney.
Today -- Super Tuesday in the Republican primary -- Obama chose to hold his first news conference of 2012,
an event that guarantees Republicans will not have the media spotlight
to themselves for this news cycle. The president took a shot at Romney,
almost immediately. "I'm not one of those people who think we should
wait and let the housing market hit bottom," he said during his opening
remarks, alluding to Romney's advice for how to get the housing market
to rebound most quickly.

WASHINGTON -President Barack Obama says he doesn't want war
but insists he would attack Iran if that was the only option left to
stop that nation from getting a nuclear weapon."Loose talk of war" only plays into Iran's hands, Obama said Sunday. On Monday, he will try to persuade Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to slow quickening pressure among many in his hawkish government to attack Iran's disputed nuclear development sites. Obama is trying to avert an Israeli strike that could come this spring, and which the United States sees as dangerously premature.
Group sues for Michelle Obama vacation records

A conservative legal group is suing the U.S. Air Force for access to first lady Michelle Obama's travel records from a 2010 vacation to Spain.
Judicial Watch
filed suit Tuesday in the United States District Court for the District
of Columbia for access to all records pertaining to an August 2010
vacation taken by the first lady and her daughters — including cost
estimates and passenger manifests.
"Evidently, American taxpayers were stuck with a sizable bill so Mrs.
Obama could tour around Spain with her family and friends, This
administration, as a supposed steward of taxpayer dollars, has an
obligation to disclose the full costs of the Obama family’s luxury
trip," said Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton in a statement.
The White House has insisted that the Spanish vacation was paid for
by the Obama family — but taxpayers generally pick up the tab for
security and other assorted costs
