Rich and poor in San Diego speak out on wealth gap
Friday, October 5, 2012 - 12:00 David McNew/Getty Images A volunteer gives a needy people a monthly food handout at a food bank near San Diego. Residents of San Diego's wealthiest and poorest neighborhoods reflect on opportunity, responsibility and the American Dream. There’s more than one house on the gated property Bob Shillman lives on -- in Rancho Santa Fe, a San Diego suburb that is one of the richest communities in America. Shillman’s main house is a mansion of stone floors, plush furnishings and soaring windows. In person, Shillman is clever and boisterous. And he makes no apologies for his opulent surroundings. He says he earned it. “The people that I know, and I know many businessmen, they were not handed things,” said Shillman. “They did build this. I built this company.

Ad hits Obama on child soliders
Thursday, September 20, 2012 - 09:21 YouTube/Screenshot The conservative nonprofit Let Freedom Ring attacks Obama for allowing countries that use child soldiers to receive American military aid. Conservative nonprofit Let Freedom Ring attempts to link President Barack Obama to child soldiers in a new ad focusing on the United States’ military aid to certain countries in Africa and the Middle East. The ad opens with brief background on child soldiers and notes that Sen. Obama supported a bill that restricted American aid to countries that use child soldiers in militaries and state-backed militias. “This was the right thing to do. It’s what leaders do,” the narrator says. “But then, as president, Obama waived these restrictions, allowing millions of our taxpayer dollars to go to countries where children as young as 11 — 11! — are forced to fight.” “Why, Mr. President? Why?” the ad finishes. In 2011, Obama waived restrictions on military aid to countries that the ...
