The Brookings Institution is an American think tank based in Washington, D.C.,[SUP][2][/SUP] in the United States. One of Washington's oldest think tanks, Brookings conducts research and education in the social sciences, primarily in economics, metropolitan policy, governance, foreign policy, and global economy and development.[SUP][3][/SUP][SUP][4][/SUP] In the University of Pennsylvania’s 2012 Global Go To Think Tanks Report, Brookings is ranked the most influential think tank in the world,[SUP][5][/SUP]
Its stated mission is to "provide innovative and practical recommendations that advance three broad goals: strengthen American democracy; foster the economic and social welfare, security and opportunity of all Americans; and secure a more open, safe, prosperous, and cooperative international system".[SUP][2][/SUP]
Brookings states that its scholars "represent diverse points of view" and describes itself as non-partisan,[SUP][2][/SUP][SUP][6][/SUP] while the media most frequently describe Brookings as "liberal-centrist" or "centrist."[SUP][7][/SUP] In fact, an academic analysis of Congressional records from 1993 to 2002 found that Brookings was referenced by conservative politicians almost as frequently as liberal politicians, earning a score of 53 on a 1-100 scale with 100 representing the most liberal score. [SUP][8][/SUP] The same study found it to be the most frequently cited think tank by the U.S. media and politicians.

The reason his day starts so late is because Mooch makes him his arugula, beet and yam French toast for brunch........with ingredients from her garden.
Anyone else find it a bit odd the President of the United States starts his day at 11:00 am?

Which is why I don't really understand the dislike by some on this forum for Obama, who has out-Bushed Bush by a long shot, yet they pine for 'the-good-old-days' when Dubya was prez.
Coke or Pepsi?
It's still teeth-rotting crap.
Dislike Obama ....because he thinks he the KING...not the president....At least bush knew he wasn't the King!!!!

This forum as a whole could certainly use a strong dose of bitchiness.
