THERE'S EVERYTHING FROM post-US2012 coverage to exceptional watches in the FT Weekend edition, a business publication I prefer in print form over its electronic edition. In my video, I zoom on on some advertisements for things I'll never be able to buy.
For my 16 American first cousins, 10 without passports, European coverage of Obama's victory provides an illuminating view of the way society's fundamental values have evolved in the Old World. Specifically, Obama has a view about government providing a safety net for hard-working people whose pension funds might be depleted or whose medical coverage may be non-existent. Patching up the social net to provide for taxpayers in times of need is not cheap. As political crossfire on Capitol Hill shows, the Obama safety net grates against many Republican values--including the opinions around the dinner table back home in the States. I'm very interested in how the story will unfold in the weeks ahead and I hope Americans can avoid falling over the fiscal cliff that threatens the economic stability of the world.
