"The seams are showing a little more than usual," President Obama says, describing the tense chaos that marked his arrival in China. From a lack of stairs to heated arguments, friction was obvious.

The share of multiracial children in America has multiplied tenfold in the past 50 years. It's a good time to take stock of our shared vocabulary when it comes to describing Americans like me.

President Obama is heading to Louisiana next week to survey damage from historic flooding there. The announcement by the White House came on the same day GOP nominee, Donald Trump, is doing the same.

That's not true, of course, and it's interesting coming from the man who was mayor of New York on Sept. 11, 2001.

Donald Trump, who has begun to slip in the polls, has charged that the outcome of November's election will be "rigged." President Obama blasted that as "ridiculous" in a wide-ranging news conference.

The president said he has disagreed on policy with Republicans and past nominees, "but I never thought they couldn't do the job." That's different this time, he said.
