Get into the mood.

Two excellent sites to get you into the mood. The Temasek Review (brilliant local analysis - thanks for introducing me Paula) and Project Syndicate (excellent commentaries and international themes and general discussions - quite a few compre passages are found in this site).

Do also have a look at the White House website (thanks to the obsessive tweeter for bringing it to my attention!).
