Clinton says Obama will stay the course

US Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said Tuesday she expects President Barack Obama to stay the course on domestic and foreign policy even if Republicans make big gains, as expected, in hotly contested congressional midterm elections.

"The political winds blow back and forth but I think you will find that President Obama is a pretty steady captain of the ship," Clinton said. "No matter what happens in our election, you will see him ... continuing to promote his agenda, which I think is right for America and right for the world." (AP)
