Angus McDowall RIYADH (Reuters) - Saudi Arabia executed a prominent

al-Nimr, an eyewitness said. Nimr, the most vocal critic of the dynasty

Rubio is not a Republican Obama, and that’s his problem
One
of the most frequent refrains among Republican voters this year is that
Barack Obama was tragically unprepared for the office when he was
elected president. And this, more than anything else, is proving to be a
