FILE - In this March 13, 2013 file photo, Libyan Prime Minister Ali Zidan speaks during a joint news conference with U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry at the State Department in Washington. Over the past three days, militiamen stormed the headquarters of the Interior Ministry and state-run TV and besieged the Foreign Ministry while publicly calling for the removal of Gadhafi-era officials from government posts and the passage of the so-called "isolation law," which would bar from political life anyone who held any position --even minor-- under the ousted autocrat's regime. However, analysts and democracy advocates believe militiamen are using the isolation law as a way to get rid of Zidan, who has vowed to restore the authority of the state and disband the armed groups that have become a power unto themselves in Libya. Many of the militias have an Islamist ideology, while Zidan is seen as more secular and liberal.. (AP Photo/Jose Luis Magana, File)

In this photo taken April 10, 2013, President Barack Obama, top center, accompanied acting Budget Director Jeffrey Zients speaks in the Rose Garden at the White House in Washington to discuss his proposed federal budget. Presidents like to take credit for economic recoveries, just as Obama is angling to do now. He and his allies in Congress have "walked the economy back from the brink," his new 2014 federal budget blueprint asserts. And Democrats hope these improvements, while still slow and uneven, will give them at least a small boost in 2014's midterm races. (AP Photo/J. David Ake)

In this Feb. 2013 photo, Todd Vandermyde with the NRA shows off a gun butt stock during a House Committee hearing on assault weapons at the Illinois State Capitol in Springfield Ill. The Senate has a Concealed Carry bill that maybe a compromise between Chicago lawmakers fighting street violence and downstate moderates who want easier access to guns. The legislation would require applicants statewide to be of "good moral character" and have "proper reason" to obtain a permit to carry a concealed weapon. Gun-rights supporters say those are subjective opinions that go beyond ensuring applicants are properly trained and have no criminal background. (AP Photo/Seth Perlman)
