time. Today class warfare is more of a concern to American citizens
versus whether or not you hail from the North or South. . .

China Or Facebook Loser Or Winner In Debt Ceiling Resolution?
by Ron Callari
During the recent Debt Ceiling debate, U.S. diplomats were
vigilant in trying to convince China they had nothing to worry about:
the debt ceiling will be raised and America will not default on its
foreign-held loans. This should have been reassuring news for the
Chinese, which by some estimates hold hundreds of billions, if not trillions in U.S. loans. But was it, and how could Facebook possibliy fit into this equation?

by Ron Callari
Back in February, when Mia Cambronero
was stepping down from her post as Social Networks Manager for
President Obama, the open position and job description sought job
candidates that were "passionate about engaging millions of Americans in
advancing President Obama's agenda and changing the country." And going
