FILE - In this Jan. 28, 2011, file photo, Pakistani security officials escort Raymond Allen Davis, center, to a local court in Lahore, Pakistan. President Barack Obama pledged nearly two years ago to fix the broken system of awarding and managing federal contracts. But a new report paints a grim picture of the government’s reliance on the private sector for support in war zones. U.S. intelligence agencies also employ contractors. Davis was working as a CIA security contractor in Pakistan when he shot and killed two armed men last month in the eastern city of Lahore. (AP Photo/Hamza Ahmed, File) (AP)

In this March 8, 2011, photo, President Barack Obama speaks about education at TechBoston Academy in Boston's Dorchester neighborhood. Obama rode a wave of voter passion in 2008 fed largely by intense dislike of President George W. Bush and the Iraq war, plus excitement among young and minority voters at the notion of electing the nation’s first black president. Now, as Obama cranks up his re-election campaign, all those factors are absent. (AP Photo/Elise Amendola) (AP)

The women, many with masks ready for tear gas, refused to go. A Saudi-led military force crossed into Bahrain to prop up the monarchy against widening demonstrations that have sent waves of fear through Gulf states over the potential for enemy Iran to take a new foothold on their doorsteps. The barrier in the foreground reads: "Down with Hamad." (AP Photo/Hasan Jamali) (AP)
