a nation with a 2 3erz unemployment rate. it is singapore and its prime minister, you ll want to hear what he has to say. also, i ll explain why we should stop worrying so much about the stumbling revolutions in tunisia, and around the arab world. here s my take, first. now that mitt romney is once again the frontrunner, his campaign focus is returning to president obama. he will probably repeat a line that he has used often in the past. this is a president who fundamentally believes that this next century is a post-american century. now, i leave it to the president to describe what he believes, but as the author of the book the post american world, i would like to clarify the phrase. at the very beginning of the book, i note, this is a book not about the decline of america, but rather about the rise of everyone else. throughout the book i m optimistic, and i think we can prosper in this new world and remain the most powerful country on the planet. i argue that the age o

chumpter s creative destruction. that s fine. i don t have an issue with that. but here s the difference, you have high-flying businessmen and women who create jobs that add value and they re the heroes, okay? they re the innovators. they re like steve jobs, builds a computer company, right out of his garage, all the way up. and because of those innovations, you have other companies. and i ve heard all these arguments. the horse and buggy, smith corona, on and on and on who don t survive. that s fine. you need vultures to clean those things up. mitt romney claims to be a high - high-flying eeg l when he s a flow-flying vulture. his contention is he s up here creating jobs when he s actually down here destroying jobs. he says he creates jobs, but he doesn t. it s not true. he creates some jobs, the argument has been over how many plus, net/minus. you ve got rush limbaugh, the club for growth calling it
