What would it be? Thousands of users of the popular website Reddit got the chance to do just that last week when Mr. Obama visited the site’s prominent “Ask Me Anything” (AMA) section. The President answered only around a dozen questions out of the more than 24,000 comments posted as of this writing over the…
Well, that must’ve been awkward. Today, Benjamin Netanyahu, the leader of Israel, met with President Obama. Ordinary state visit between allies, right? Well, yesterday, President Obama gave his anticipated “Arab Spring” speech, and it definitely ruffled some feathers.

Anyway, if you haven’t heard about it yet, the website Wikileaks.org is causing quite a stir in government circles this summer. Most notably, the organization became notorious due to…
