GLOBAL ECONOMY-Obama returns fire after China slams Fed's move | Reuters: "NEW DELHI, Nov 8 (Reuters) - U.S. President Barack Obama defended the Federal Reserve's policy of printing dollars on Monday after China and Russia stepped up criticism ahead of this week's Group of 20 meeting.

But there is little sign of consensus.
