“Chairman Priebus set out on an early and historic political outreach plan which called for investing resources early to build the RNC network well before Election Day. And although the elections are still eight months away, all indications are that the money has been well spent. Our message is getting out to the Hispanic, Asian and African American communities.

“Both rich and poor nations have a common stake in policies that put the globe on a sustainable development path. The conflict is less between poor and rich countries than between the broad interests of people and the narrow interests of extractive industries. We need to find our way towards some kind of global regime that reduces emissions of the greenhouse gases, but well-off nations need to transfer the technology to make this possible, rather than viewing this shift as one more opportunity for private industry to profit.” PeopleWayNeedsWellsKindCountryOpportunityNationsInterestPoorCommonTechnologyPathRichPolicyDevelopmentIndustryConflictProfitGlobal WarmingBroadsStakesRegimesGlobesTransfersRich And PoorEmissionsSustainable DevelopmentGreenhousesGreenhouse GasesRich CountriesPoor Nations Author:Robert Kuttner

“I think that one of the things that we all agree to is that the touchstone for economic policy is, does it allow the average American to find good employment and see their incomes rise; that we can't just look at things in the aggregate, we do want to grow the pie, but we want to make sure that prosperity is spread across the spectrum of regions and occupations and genders and races; and that economic policy should focus on growing the pie, but it also has to make sure that everybody has got opportunity in that system.” ThinkingWantShouldLooksDoeOpportunityGrowsRaceFocusGrowingEconomicPolicyAgreeAverageProsperitySpreadGenderIncomeEmploymentRegionsOccupationPieSpectrumEconomic PolicyTouchstones Author:Barack Obama
