WASHINGTON (AP) - Voters didn't always get the straight goods when
President Barack Obama and Republican Mitt Romney made their case for

it.' And Assad - excuse me, Kofi Annan - came in and said we're going to
try to have a cease-fire. That didn't work. Then it went to the

playing the leadership role there." click here to read more
