WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama wants to eke out at least a few more victories in Congress this year before Republicans possibly wrest control of it from his fellow Democrats.

Lawmakers returned this week from their August recess, with Obama apparently headed toward winning passage of a long-stalled bill to help small business.

3. From the link:

"Congress is still considering whether to ratify three free-trade agreements negotiated during the Bush administration with South Korea, Panama and Colombia."

Because that's just what we need: More places to ship what few manufacturing jobs we have left now that it's looking like workers in China might organize. What world is that considered a win in? I guess we need to start moving them to Columbia where right wing death squads can kill anyone that tries to organize a union. Settle this organized labor thing once and for all.
