Breaking Up is Hard To Do
By Daniel Politi Posted Wednesday, April 30, 2008, at 6:24 AM ET
The New York Timesand the Wall Street Journal's world-wide newsbox lead with, while everyone else fronts, Sen. Barack Obama denouncing Rev. Jeremiah Wright and angrily breaking off relations with his former pastor. Obama said Wright's appearance at the National Press Club on Monday, where he reiterated some of his most controversial views and spoke well of Louis Farrakhan, amounted to "a show of disrespect to me" and "an insult to what we've been trying to do in this campaign." The Los Angeles Timesleads with a look at how rising concerns about the country's economic health is leading politicians to "scramble for a response." So far at least, the proposals being put forward are not new and would do little to help the average consumer. But Washington politicians are doing a good job of pointing fingers at the other side for failing to do anything.
USA Todayleads with news that governments at all levels are increasing the number of workers on their payrolls faster than anytime in the past six years. In the first three months of the year, federal, state, and local governments added 76,800 jobs while private companies got rid of 286,000 workers. Economists say the government can help a tightening economy by increasing jobs, but warn that this strategy can also lead to future financial problems. The Washington Postleads locally but goes across the top with the fourth installment of its "Global Food Crisis" series, which takes a look at how "ethanol plants are swallowing more and more of the nation's corn crop" at a time when food prices are rising around the world. "The price of grain is now directly tied to the price of oil," the president of the Earth Policy Institute said. "We used to have a grain economy and a fuel economy. But now they're beginning to fuse."
