...difficulty is that it's hard to distinguish a cyclical downswing that's clearing the way for good times ahead from the wheezing of a currency and a nation in decline. Pessimists look at the budget deficits being run by the Bush Administration and the easy-money policies of the Federal Reserve and see a dollar that will never recover, leaving Americans permanently poorer...
...world economy has run into a brick wall. Despite countless warnings in recent years about the need to address a looming hunger crisis in poor countries and a looming energy crisis worldwide, world leaders failed to think ahead. The result is a global food crisis. Wheat, corn and rice prices have more than doubled in the past two years, and oil prices have more than tripled since the start of 2004. These food-price increases combined with soaring energy costs will slow if not stop economic growth in many parts of the world and will even undermine political stability...

"We are not going to talk about those issues in the campaign...
...Obama himself avoided nearly all mention of Clinton in a town hall meeting Wednesday in New Albany, Indiana, referring to her only once by name to underline to the audience the important choice that lies ahead: Indiana and North Carolina are the next states to vote on May 6. In contrast, Obama's speeches over the weekend-his closing arguments in Pennsylvania-were lengthy and sometimes harsh explanations of the differences between...
