three united states citizens and several other hostages nearly a year ago. 2006 the colombian people demonstrated their support by reelecting a president by an impressive 62% margin. and his high public approval rating remains the envy of politicians across the world. all of this is coincided with of the strengthening of bilateral relations between washington. while columbia continues to face significant challenges, they are challenges that washington can work to overcome. as all colombians seek to build upon the gains of recent years, strengthening their democracy and contribute to a brighter future for not just their own country but the hemisphere. under president bill clinton and george w. bush the bilateral relationship between the united states and colombia has grown by leaps and bounds and it is our expectation this trend will continue under president obama. the president's tenure caps a distinguished career in public service. 1976, he served as head of the real estate office of the public works department. he went on to serve as secretary general of the labor minister, head of the civil aviation department, the mayor and two terms as the senator and governor. he holds a degree

publications in washington in the energy field. energy is such an important topic in the united states right now. the democrats and president obama have an idea of what our energy future should be like. and republicans have an idea. i thought you might want to weigh in on the republican side because these -- this needs a bit of airing. >> i am a great admirer of obama. i think he is unique. there is an excitement with him that i had not detected since john kennedy and i also think as energy ideas are dead wrong and the republicans generally are right on energy. and the difference is that obama has a more left-of-center theory that you don't need big, centralized electricity, that you don't need to drill for oil and gas in many places and that you could make it through with what they call alternative energy, which is largely wind power, a little bit of solar power, off in the distance, wave power. hydro -- there is a little bit of it around. one in the east river in new york, a turbine stopped and a river. a very low tech, basically. but it is diverse, spread out. it takes a lot of power to collec

the united states government is going to offer a health care plan for the american public. and it's going to be run by the federal government, the united states government. that's the plan. that's what they're submitting. in their 1,018-page health care plan, which to this point has not been completed or marked up and we haven't seen the final product. if it's gone the way since we have been in congress since january when mr. obama was sworn in, this congress will present it to us between midnight and 2:00 on the morning before we vote on it. but getting back to the seriousness of this situation, i was taken back by what they did to me. it's not just about me. if it was just about me, i wouldn't be standing up here. but i felt like they were telling me what i had to say, i had to use someone else's words to describe something that i wanted to describe. but that wasn't all. my colleague, kevin brady, from texas, and he may be here later on. we were delayed because of weather for a long time and mr. brady said he would get here as fast as he could during this hour. my friend k

sanskrit scholar in germany traveling journalist in russia and international author and public lecturer in the united states and canada. it was a phenomenal and even dazzling feet. i highly recommend this story. it's very, very engaging. my next title is 500 years of jicama women's history by e. elizabeth martinez and anti-war activist herself published by rutgers university press. this is the book to have on hand when patrons come into the library looking for insight into sonia sotomayor and what helped bring her where she is today. the book is by land tells the story through powerful officials as it does through its insightful text. while the author is focused on mexican-americans women's history there is considerable overlap with women from other latina backgrounds. the book is not written as a single narrative, although it is organized into thematic chapters that follow a time line. much of the focus is on the struggle for equal rights and social justice. through the pages of this book you meet women like to see on the photograph here, the post posters. the chicago police department labeled lucey more d

public here. but the united states senate. i think that we have, every senator has a right and responsibility, as questions, good questions, tough questions, they disagree with a response of the nominee, they have a right to say system of but it should be done respectfully. we're a nation of 300 million people. only 101 people get the final say of who is going to be on the supreme court, the highest court in our land. first and foremost the president of the united states who makes the nomination as president obama did and then the 100 senators who vote for or against that person. we stand as the conscience of the nation in doing that. it shb the conscience of the nation, it should be respectful to the nation. not to score political points, not to do those things we think may just be popular for the moment but to make the right judgment to help all americans and i think most americans, certainly all of the americans i spoke with in my home state of vermont last week as i was around the state, whether they agreed or disagreed wi
