Week In The News
ResumeTornado hell in the South. The president rolls out his birth certificate. New chiefs for the CIA and Pentagon. It's the week in the news.
Tornado devastation in the South this week. Hundreds dead. Thousands homeless. Whole blocks, neighborhoods, towns, gone in the fury of unrelenting storms. Nature in destroy mode.
In Washington, President Obama says “enough” to the birther campaign, laying out his birth certificate. Donald Trump calls that a victory.
We’ve got prison break and a slaughter in Afghanistan. New heads named for the CIA and Pentagon. And yes, a little royal wedding in London.
