They has just signed the Shanghai Communique, which officially opened up trade between the U.S. and China. Forty years ago, President Richard Nixon stood beside a helicopter on the South Lawn of the White House.

Middle class at a crossroads, not for the first time

Friday, September 21, 2012 - 13:00 Zachary Hollcraft/Middle Class Photo Project "To me, nothing epitomizes the middle class like a white picket fence. We bought this house last year, and it came complete with the fence." There've been, by our very rough count, something like a zillion sound bites through the course of this campaign and we've still got a month and a half to go. The candidates have been talking about anything and everything they think will resonate with voters, including heavy use of a phrase that might affect the broadest chunk of Americans: "The middle class." So, um, who exactly is that?  There's no government definition. Economists generally agree it's households who earn about $40-120,000 a year. But that's a big range, and that's just the numbers.   When you close your eyes and picture a typical middle class American, what do you see? We went out on the streets of cities across the country to ask people to define middle class, and no matter where we went, they agreed ...

We went out on the streets of cities across the country to ask people to define middle class, and no matter where we went, they agreed on a lot of the basics. You need a decent job. You own a home... maybe a barbecue in the backyard.  But start filling in the details, and things get tricky.  Like, that decent job? ...

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 ...
