Making headlines this week...

US President Barack Obama, locked in a tight re-election bid, will join one of his top Republican critics on a visit to victims of superstorm Sandy in New Jersey. It will give Americans a high-profile display of presidential leadership while leaving rival Mitt Romney awkwardly on the sidelines less than a week before Election Day. Obama will visit New Jersey, the state hardest hit by the storm which devastated much of the northeastern United States, accompanied by Governor Chris Christie.
