News 2.1.09
Political:
WSJ: “General Motors Seeks to Avoid Hefty Taxes on Restructuring”
Telegraph: “Michelle Obama bans daughters Malia and Sasha from mixing with celebrities.”
NYT: ”New Symbol of Elite Access: E-Mail to the Chief.”
Opinion:
Telegraph: “This is the Sub-Prime House that Barack Obama Built.”
