Cheat Sheet - Jaycee Dugard’s New Life

The Cheat Sheet

Today: Highlights of Women in the World, Assad Plays 'Terrorists' Card, Obama Strikes Back on Gas Prices
The Daily Beast Cheat Sheet: Morning

March 10, 2012
WOMEN IN THE WORLD

The girl who once was not allowed by her captor to say her own name, kidnap victim Jaycee Dugard accepted the DVF Award from Oprah Winfrey at Newsweek & The Daily Beast’s Women in the World summit. She said that her “hope is to be remembered for what I do, and not what happened to me.” The Daily Beast’s Abigail Pesta reports from the emotional awards dinner.

WATCH THIS!

Valerie Jarrett says it’s time for a “mancovery,” Leymah Gbowee says it’s “time for women to stop being politely angry” and Madeleine Albright says “men” are the reason women don’t have more leadership positions. Watch the best moments so far from the 2012 Women in the World summit.

IMPASSE

U.N. special envoy Kofi Annan met with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad on Saturday in Damascus in an effort to get the Syrian regime to end its yearlong crackdown on dissidents. But Assad told Annan that dialogue with the opposition will not work when "armed terrorist groups" are operating. On the other end, the head of the opposition Syrian National Council has already turned down Annan's request for talks with Assad, similarly saying that negotiations with a 'murderous' government are pointless. But a member of the opposition is due to meet Annan in the afternoon. Activists say at least 12 people were killed today as government forces continued attacks across the country, including in the northern province of Idlib.

FUEL

President Obama used his weekly radio address Saturday to hit back at Republican critics who say his energy policy is causing rising gasoline prices that look to be heading toward $4 per gallon. "We can't just drill our way to lower gas prices—not when we consume 20 percent of the world's oil," Obama said, underscoring the importance of developing alternative energy and increasing fuel efficiency. GOP candidates as well as North Dakota Gov. Jack Dalrymple have accused Obama to blocking oil and gas projects like the Keystone XL pipeline, but Obama accused the Republicans of a "bumper sticker" approach to energy.

LEAD

Rick Santorum looks set for a comfortable lead in the state of Kansas, which holds its caucuses Saturday with 40 delegates up for grabs. "We chased all the candidates out of Kansas!" Santorum said Friday. Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich have skipped the state to focus on Alabama and Mississippi, with their primaries on Tuesday. Santorum is expected to win the state even though Bob Dole, the former GOP presidential candidate from Kansas, endorsed Romney earlier this week.
