Back in the good old days of 1995, when Republicans controlled both houses of Congress for the first time in anyone’s memory, conservatives began clamoring in earnest for a balanced federal budget.

With the furor surrounding Pastor Jeremiah Wright ebbing and flowing, Barack Obama on Sunday tried, again, to diffuse the brouhaha.
