NEW YORK (AP) — Former first lady Laura Bush and daughter Jenna Bush Hager are working on another children's book.
HarperCollins Publishers told The Associated Press on Thursday that the Bushes are collaborating with illustrator Jacqueline Rogers on "Our Great Big Backyard," a picture story about a girl named Jane whose family road trip to the country's national parks leads to her "paying attention to the majestic sights and spending less time looking at her screen."
WASHINGTON (AP) — The big budget deal that the White House is so happy about contains a couple of items that President Barack Obama or other administration officials were panning not too long ago.
Obama called one feature in the deal an "irresponsible budget gimmick." And Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz warily labeled another part "a very slippery slope" to be avoided.
