Monday, July 12, 2010 – Daily News – 3B WORLD BRIEFING White House spokesman says Dems could lose House to GOP WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama’s party could lose its House majority in this fall’s elec- tions, his spokesman said Sunday, perhaps trying to jolt Democratic voters with the specter of GOP lawmakers rolling back White House policies. ‘‘I think there’s no doubt there are enough seats in play that could cause Republicans to gain control. There’s no doubt about that,’’ press secretary Robert Gibbs told NBC’s ‘‘Meet the Press.’’ Democrats now hold a 255-178 edge in the House, with two vacancies in the 435-member chamber. Any- where from 40 to perhaps 60 House seats could be competitive by the fall. Republicans would need to take back about 40 seats to slip into the majority, placing the current GOP leader, Ohio Rep. John Boehner, in line to replace Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., as speaker. Those House Democrats who won election for the first time in 2008 in conservative leaning districts as part of the Obama wave are particularly vulnerable this fall, given that the president is not on the ballot. Gibbs said retaining House control would depend on strong campaigns by Democrats. ‘‘I think we have to take the issues to them,’’ he said, adding that the pri- mary argument would be how Republicans would gov- ern as the majority party. ‘Barefoot Bandit’ nabbed: US teen’s 2-year life on the lam brought to an end NASSAU, Bahamas (AP) — The teenage ‘‘Barefoot Bandit’’ who allegedly stole cars, boats and airplanes to dodge U.S. law enforcement was nabbed Sunday as he tried to make a water escape then brought hand- cuffed — and shoeless — to the capital to face justice, abruptly ending his two-year life on the lam. Colton Harris-Moore was arrested before dawn in northern Eleuthera, said Sgt. Chrislyn Skippings, a spokeswoman for the Royal Bahamas Police Force. A contingent of high-ranking officers traveled to the island and took the suspect to Nassau, the country’s capital, where he faces possible extradition to the Unit- ed States. True to his nickname, the 19-year-old suspect was barefoot as he stepped off the plane. He kept his head down and ignored questions shouted by reporters. Escorted by six police cars and SUVs, the teen had close-shorn hair and wore short camouflage cargo pants, a white long-sleeved shirt and a bulletproof vest. Police blocked traffic on the route to the Central Detec- tive Unit where he was taken for processing. Island police had been searching for the wily fugi- tive since he allegedly crash-landed a stolen plane a week ago on nearby Great Abaco Island, where he was blamed for a string of at least seven break-ins. Rev Robert Schuller retiring from Crystal Cathedral GARDEN GROVE (AP) — The Rev. Robert H. Schuller, founder of Southern California’s Crystal Cathedral megachurch and host of the ‘‘Hour of Power’’ televangelism broadcast, announced Sunday he will retire after 55 years in the pulpit and his daughter will take over. The 83-year-old Schuller told his congregation that Sheila Schuller Coleman will become sole lead pas- tor, after sharing that role with her father for the past year. Coleman previously served as principal of a private Christian school run by the cathedral and head of the Orange County church’s family ministries division. She was ordained just a month before she was appointed to head up Crystal Cathedral Ministries. Bombs explode at 2 sites in Uganda with 20 deaths feared KAMPALA, Uganda (AP) — A police chief says two bombs went off at two sites in Uganda’s capital late Sunday killing and injuring a number of people. Police Chief Kale Kaihura says he can’t yet confirm the death toll, but reports from the scene indicated it may be around 20 people killed and others injured. Kaihura says he believes that Somalia’s most feared militia — al-Shabab, which has pledged loyalty to al-Qaida — could be behind the attack. One of the bombs went off at an Ethiopian restaurant in Kampala, Uganda’s capital. Death penalty for Sept. 11 suspects might be tough WASHINGTON (AP) — Attorney General Eric Holder says there’s a real question about whether a terrorist suspect such as self-professed Sept. 11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed can face the death penalty if he were to plead guilty before a military commission. Holder proposed last year trying Mohammed and four alleged accomplices in civilian courts in New York City. But that idea generated so much controversy that it’s all but been abandoned. He told CBS’ ‘‘Face the Nation’’ that it’s possible to impose the death penalty in a civilian setting for someone who pleads guilty. But he says there’s far less legal certain- ty about that possibility in a military setting. Support our classrooms, keep kids reading.
