Kamala D. Harris took a hard line in negotiations with banks, but faced increasing pressure from the White House to reach a deal.

The White House is feeling upbeat about the economy, maybe too much.

Christopher Dodd, the president of the Motion Picture Association of America, suggested the White House convene a meeting to discuss antipiracy.

Today he hosted the latest in a series of White House events aimed at showing voters he is serious about tackling unemployment.

Legislation to combat online piracy won't be supported if it encourages censorship, undermines cybersecurity or disrupts the structure of the Internet, the Obama administration said today.

In its latest executive action, the White House announced new steps Thursday to spur start-up businesses and help them access $2 billion in resources.

The executive office of U.S. President Barack Obama said Tuesday that the administration strongly opposes passage in the Senate of a resolution that could impact the equal availability of the Internet to all classes of users.

The White House hopes by the end of the month to announce changes that will make it easier for more homeowners - perhaps millions more - to participate.

President Obama pushed for his $447 billion jobs bill this morning during a White House news conference in which he again challenged Republicans to either enact his ideas or be prepared to explain to voters why they opposed what he says are ways to put Americans to work.

Some proposals for taxes to pay for the jobs bill may sound familiar to Americans, like higher taxes on the rich and an end to some tax breaks like the one on corporate jets.
