Obama reviving US clout in Asia as China stumbles

Leader of Britain's, Conservative opposition party David Cameron speaking to the media in London, Tuesday, May 12, 2009. Cameron, banned members of his party Tuesday from filing expense claims for food and household items amid public outrage after lawmakers sought reimbursements for items such as swimming pool construction and tennis court upkeep. Cameron said his party's lawmakers would reimburse the taxpayers for expenses deemed inappropriate, such as chandeliers, sleigh beds and manure. The Conservative Party leader said that the public could not abide by the expenditures, even though they were technically allowed under the complicated system for claiming household costs. "Politicians have done things that are unethical and wrong," Cameron said during a news conference. "I am completely appalled." Behind Cameron is a painting of Britain's wartime leader Winston Churchil
