President Barack Obama Today, March 30, 2012, the President of the United States will be in my town of Portland, Maine. He is greeting a large crowd at the Southern Maine College College, and having a fundraising dinner at the Portland Museum of Art. I won't be able to see him, but I wish him well. My best goes out to him, and to the men and women of the United States Secret Service who have the job of protecting President Barack Obama today. Their service to our country, mostly under the radar, is great. March 30th On March 30, 1979,  Airey Neave, a British Member of Parliament, was killed by a car bomb as he exited the Palace of Westminster.

As the day would evolve, the 2012 JetBlue Flight 191 from New York to Las Vegas was diverted to Amarillo, Texas, after a "medical situation involving the captain" developed, the airline said. Captain Clayton Osbon left the cockpit and began talking with some of the passengers. When he tried to re-enter and realized it was locked, he became agitated. Numerous passengers say that the 49-year-old captain then ran through the cabin screaming "say your prayers" and "we're all going down" while ranting about Iraq, al-Qaeda, and acts of terrorism.

Romney spokesman Eric Fehrnstrom was asked on CNN on Wednesday March 21st whether he was concerned that Romney’s prolonged fight with Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum would force him to “tack so far to the right it would hurt him with moderate voters in the general election.” “Well, I think you hit a reset button for the fall campaign,” Fehrnstrom responded. “Everything changes. It’s almost like an Etch-A-Sketch. You can kind of shake it up and restart all of over again.”
