getting better, worse or staying the same. Its a mixed bag at best and what’s most apparent is how so much of the small amount of progress that has been made is being erased by the growth in the world economy, population or both. (Makes me think of the comment Bill Clinton made a week or so ago in Denver about needing to slow down our economy.)

t put on your political scientist’s cap when you are running for president because the voters you dissect may feel disrespected. Mayhill Fowler was there and she heard that. Instead of turning it into a blaring news report with scare quotes, Cooper left it as a simple blog post. It was anything but a traditional approach to news. Indeed, the explosive quotes from Obama appeared very late in the story and were not broken out at the top nor particularly highlighted (though they did shape
