Giving Thanks and Going Shopping: Not What It Used to Be

This is "the American weekend," a day of thanksgiving normally followed by the biggest shopping day of the year. But these are not normal times. Retailers are bracing for a tough sales season and consumers are re-thinking what they buy and where they buy it. Guest host Sara Terry asks if these are short-term responses to the economy or the beginning of long-term changes in lifestyle. Also, more Obama appointments, and protesters are bringing Thailand to a halt. Thousands are stranded at the airport in the latest development of a four-month-long protest against the government.
