Democratic presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg's ads casting him and former president Barack Obama as close political allies aren't supported by the facts of their relationship, former top Obama aides said Tuesday.
Dan Pfeiffer, a former senior adviser to President Barack Obama, called for the United States to implement an Australian-style gun confiscation program in an article published Wednesday.
White House Senior Adviser Dan Pfeiffer said that the Obama administration hopes economic pressures will force the Russians to vacate Ukraine posthaste.
“The Russian economy, the Russian stock market, and the ruble are at 5-year lows. Russia is isolated in the world, you saw that at the UN Security Counsel yesterday, and the more they escalate, the longer this goes, the greater those costs will be,” Pfeiffer said.
