http://chicagohumanities.org - See more Chicago Humanities Festival events. A collapsing economy, two wars, rising healthcare costs, a ballooning budget deficit, and a major ecological disaster... no US president in decades has encountered the breadth of difficulties confronting Barack Obama. In a discussion moderated by Washington Post political writer Peter Slevin, correspondents from China, Mexico, and Russia gather to recount their reporting about Obama's vision for America and the complex realities of today. Panelists include Tan Yingzi, chief correspondent for China Daily's Washington Bureau; José Díaz-Briseño, Washington, DC correspondent for Mexico City's daily newspaper Reforma, and Maria Lipman, editor in chief of Pro et Contra, a policy journal of the Carnegie Moscow Center. This program was generously underwritten by the McCormick Foundation.
