McCain says Obama bad for business :: CHICAGO SUN-TIMES :: Barack Obama (U.S., 27 articles)
|
From CBS News' Maria Gavrilovic: (KAUKAUNA, Wisc.) Barack Obama told a crowd of predominately white, middle class voters today that his tax plan will provide three times more relief than John McCain's proposed cuts. John McCain, on the way to a town hall meeting in Nashua, N.H., said this morning in Boston that the need for such forums was made clear by the furor over remarks he made about the Iraq war. For all the efforts of Senators John McCain and Barack Obama to portray themselves as willing to break with party orthodoxy to get things done, the economic debate that opened their general election campaign this week previews a classic clash. While hardworking families are hurting and employers are vulnerable, Barack Obama has promised higher income taxes, Social Security taxes, capital gains taxes, dividend taxes, and tax hikes on job creating businesses' campaign spokesman Tucker Bounds said. " Under Senator Obama's tax plan, Americans of every background would see their taxes rise - seniors, parents, small business owners, and just about everyone who has even a modest investment in the market McCain said.

The Lakers lost a 24-point lead in historic fashion, a stagger turning into a numbing collapse against the Boston Celtics, who took Game 4 of the NBA Finals, 97-91, Thursday at Staples Center. Kobe Bryant led the way with 36 points as the Los Angeles Lakers beat the Boston Celtics 87-81 to win game three of the NBA finals. The Lakers went into the game knowing defeat would almost certainly end their hopes of a 15th NBA title, with no team ever having come back from a 3-0 deficit in the play-offs.

Supreme Court sides with Guantanamo detainees again (U.S., 24 articles)
|
The court declared unconstitutional a provision of the Military Commissions Act of 2006 that, at the administration's behest, stripped the federal courts of jurisdiction to hear habeas corpus petitions from the detainees seeking to challenge their designation as enemy combatants. The court's ruling immediately gives the detainees access to a federal court in Washington, where lawyers will seek to have judges order the men released from indefinite detention. Government officials said military commission cases against 20 detainees who have already been charged with specific crimes could go forward, but defense lawyers said the ruling could open the door to court challenges of that process as well.
