One of President Obama's biggest allies -- Big Labor -- is coming to his aid on healthcare.
The AFL-CIO, the nation's largest union federation, announced today that it will mount an intensive 30-day grassroots effort to back a sweeping healthcare overhaul, timed during the recess when members of Congress will be home listening to their constituents.
AFL-CIO President John Sweeney, in a call-to-arms memo to union leaders, put the choice starkly: "The question for us is: will we let them make health care 'Obama's Waterloo' or will we make it the next big step in our march to Turn Around America?"

Seven Banks Fail, Making It 64 for '09
JULY 25, 2009
Regulators seized seven banks on Friday, including six in Georgia owned by the same parent, increasing the number of U.S. bank failures to 64 in 2009.
The six Georgia banks were part of Security Bank Corp., of Macon, Ga., and had assets of about $2.8 billion and deposits of $2.4 billion. The banks were doomed by their real-estate loan exposure in metropolitan Atlanta, an area plagued by foreclosures and declining home values.
