...best friend's boyfriend or - even worse in this fashion-crazed city - toting an obvious knock-off handbag. For months, many citizens of China's most populous city gritted their teeth as Beijing got all the glory. But now that the Olympics are over, Shanghai is determined to reclaim the title of China's most happening metropolis.

While Obama has to be careful not to delve too far into Strickland's brand of Stone Age union economics, reconnecting with basic Democratic economic issues is good advice.
