if you have copd like i do you know how hard it can be to breathe and what that feels like. copd includes chronic bronchitis and emphysema. spiriva helps control my copd symptoms by keeping my airways open a full 24 hours. plus, it reduces copd flare-ups. spiriva is the only once-daily inhaled copd maintenance treatment that does both. and it's steroid-free. spiriva does not replace fast-acting inhalers for sudden symptoms. tell your doctor if you have kidney problems glaucoma, trouble urinating, or an enlarged prostate. these may worsen with spiriva. discuss all medicines you take, even eye drops. stop taking spiriva and seek immediate medical help if your breathing suddenly worsens your throat or tongue swells you get hives, vision changes or eye pain, or problems passing urine. other side effects include dry mouth and constipation. nothing can reverse copd. spiriva helps me breathe better. does breathing with copd weigh you down? ask your doctor if spiriva can help.

and seek immediate medical care for unexpected signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. pradaxa may increase your bleeding risk if you're 75 or older, have a bleeding condition like stomach ulcers, or take aspirin, nsaids, or blood thinners, or if you have kidney problems especially if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all medicines you take any planned medical or dental procedures and don't stop taking pradaxa without your doctor's approval as stopping may increase your stroke risk. other side effects include indigestion, stomach pain, upset, or burning. pradaxa is progress. having afib not caused by a heart valve problem increases your risk of stroke. ask your doctor if you can reduce your risk with pradaxa.

spiriva is the only once-daily inhaled copd maintenance treatment that does both. and it's steroid-free. spiriva does not replace fast-acting inhalers for sudden symptoms. tell your doctor if you have kidney problems glaucoma, trouble urinating, or an enlarged prostate. these may worsen with spiriva. discuss all medicines you take, even eye drops. stop taking spiriva and seek immediate medical help if your breathing suddenly worsens your throat or tongue swells you get hives, vision changes or eye pain, or problems passing urine. other side effects include dry mouth and constipation. nothing can reverse copd. spiriva helps me breathe better. does breathing with copd weigh you down? ask your doctor if spiriva can help.

richard riley joining us now. good morning. >> hi, how are you. >> thank you for take time with us. >> my pleasure. >> let's talk about mitt romney's record on education as governor of massachusetts. i believe he cut funding, and suggested head start was a failure. so there is a warm-up on his record. >> well, i think it's well-known that he really cut education i guess as much as any governor during that period and it really caused them to have a larger class size because he was doing everything to take money out of public education, and frankly, it made a difference and it's not a very good pro-public school record.

>> well, and i don't even have children and that seems like a no-brainer, that class sideses are really really important. >> i think everyone realizes where you have parents who are educated or interested or who are good parents they are the best teachers that especially young children can have. i used to say a parent that read with their child at least 30 minutes an evening, because probably doing as much to help that child's education as anything. that's a small class. when you have a parent one on one talking and reading with a child, if the parent is not educated to have the child read with them, studying with the child, letting the child know that education is important to them, one on one the smallest of all classes. now the idea that in some way that classes hurt children, i

think i heard that correctly, but -- that was said by mitt romney, just blows my mind. i have never ever heard a -- a teacher who is a real qualified teacher say anything other than it -- it helps them to have the more personalized relationship with children. everybody learns differently teachers teach differently. >> it seems like he is a big fan of vouchers as is paul ryan. paul ryan's budget would push 2 million kids out of head start. mitt romney literally had ron paige as one of his advisors who obviously was in the bush administration.

>> the idea of vouchers -- of course, i never supported vouchers for private schools however, i strongly support quality private schools, quality home schooling and quality public schools, but the idea of using public dollars for vouchers for private schools is certainly the wrong way to go, and it drains money from the public schools and that's what we're talking about. they need more money and shitting the money out of the school is a real mistake. >> it seems like these are things that didn't work. i think no child left behind was -- obviously if you talk to most teachers was it was a nightmare of underfunding

overtesting. and it seems like that's all romney has is things that didn't work in the past. >> some things about no child left behind has been helpful, but really, the testing, testing, testing is a mistake. and president obama's education secretary really is trying through the waiver process to shift off of that test test, test, and emphasize those things that are really important in education reform. teacher and principal evaluation is very important college career ready, that's the president's high level of helping the middle class move up, preparing them for college, pell grants, and those things that help them. and it seems like the romney skroud kind of in the other direction. >> yep, absolutely. riech ard riley thank you so

impact on our students and schools of no child left behind, so to bring rod paige on as his consult act and potentially someone in his cabinet absolutely shows -- demonstrates his disdain for public school. >> we are on al gore's network, so we believe in recycling. as you said, he is pursuing some of the same failed policies of the bush administration. >> absolutely. >> what does he not get about class size, do you think? >> well, you know, it's pretty funny. not only does he not believe class size makes a difference, but he actually made a statement that he thinks it could hurt. i want to find a parent who would agree with that assertion. we have many many studies of course, that have proven class

size makes a difference particularly in the beginning grades, and most especially it has made a difference for our students who come to us, who are living in poverty or ethnic minority students, we have studies to prove that. but let's tell you as a mother and eighth grade science teacher, i one year had 33 kids in my class. i didn't need a study that while i had a couple of kids had to sit on the size and look into the microscope to look at a para-micium. >> wow i haven't heard that word since high school.

. >> wasn't there a kid whos do covered a cure or science or something? >> yeah. >> absolutely. but they have to access to the resources and the teacher's time. i got active in our union, because they wanted to change the policy so there were 33 kids in my son's kindergarten class. i don't believe governor romney would sit still and allow that to happen to his own children so to say that class size doesn't matter flies in the face of research and common sense. >> yeah, he seems to have really had a discontain for public education from day one.% now he is behind the ryan budget that would push 2 million kids out of head start, slash pell grants -- >> that's absolutely right, stephanie. and it's not just the early

education, which we know is so important to our student's success, but when you take a look at higher education, the slashing to the pell grants, of course, which we know impact those students who need that help the most. now his idea -- listen to this -- his idea is for those students to go and ask their parents to give them a loan so they can go to school. >> yeah. >> if their parents had the money to send their children to school, then there wouldn't be an issue. so it's such a good example of how out of touch he is with the realities that our middle class americans are facing. >> the headline i'm reading today is romney's higher education plan a give away to the banks and predator agencies that fund his campaign. that says it all doesn't it? >> absolutely. it says it all and all we have to do is look at his record. we know that he -- he slashed

education funding by millions and millions of dollars and resulted in layoffs -- not just of teachers, by of police officers, and librarians. of course he cut staff -- and this gives us ancation of why he is tacking class size because it resulted in the increase in class size in massachusetts. so we just have to look at his record to know what we're going to get. >> absolutely. becky do you still make kids dissect frogs? >> of course stephanie. but we now have such incredible technology -- >> wow. >> we can actually do it virtually, but there's nothing like the hands on experience. >> i have never gotten over the trauma of mrs. shore forcing me to dissect a pregnant frog until i had to force my lab partner

paul defosso to do it. [ laughter ] >> the members of the national education association are throwing their support behind president obama, because he understands that education is absolutely essential to this nation's economic recover, to its security and success, and he has proven it, but not only supporting pell grants and trying -- really pushing to try to bring down the student loan rates, but he has invested in our public schools saving thousands of jobs for teachers and other educators, and trying to make sure that our schools deliver absolutely the highest quality education that we possibly can, and that our children deserve. >> becky has rod paige would say that's exactly what a terrorist organization like yours would say.

in a clinical trial, pradaxa® (dabigatran etexilate mesylate) reduced stroke risk 35% better than warfarin. and unlike warfarin, with pradaxa, there's no need for regular blood tests. that's really important to me. pradaxa can cause serious, sometimes fatal, bleeding. don't take pradaxa if you have abnormal bleeding and seek immediate medical care for unexpected signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. pradaxa may increase your bleeding risk if you're 75 or older, have a bleeding condition like stomach ulcers, or take aspirin, nsaids, or blood thinners, or if you have kidney problems especially if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all medicines you take any planned medical or dental procedures and don't stop taking pradaxa without your doctor's approval as stopping may increase your stroke risk. other side effects include indigestion, stomach pain, upset, or burning. pradaxa is progress. having afib not caused by a heart valve problem increases your risk of stroke. ask your doctor if you can reduce your risk with pradaxa.

[ bell chimes ] [ applause ] >> barbara lee doing something very important with jackie spear our other favorite from california. >> good morning. >> good morning. >> a lot of people know you are famous for being the only congress person that voted against afghanistan. you are doing something important and we talked to representative spear about this. the guys that we send into these wars -- we're at least trying to take care of them when they get home, correct? >> absolutely, and stephanie i'm the daughter of a veteran. my dad serves in two wars, and my family personally knows the

impact and consequences of war. and i have to tell you, first of all, i voted against that blank check, because that resolution right after the horrific events of 9/11 really was an blank check to go to war for anyone. this has been used for any related activities they want to put in the contracts of 9/11 but it allows wars to continue -- again, wars without end. so what we're seeing is a terrible consequence, and that is our veterans now really are struggling just to survive. and we have a va -- and this is what we did this week -- listened to veterans who have not been able to get their climbs processed just for their disability payments or whatever they so deserve. >> there is a backlog so you and

representative spear has a forum on this. i'm reading 65% of all disability claims for veterans had been pending for at least 125 days and that's not okay. >> it's not acceptable, and just in our region alone in the bay area, which extents further south and north of the bay area we have 34,000 veterans who have been waiting more than 120 days and that's what this hearing really put forth. some have been waiting for years for their veterans' claims to be processed. so we're trying to figure out -- and the veteran's administration claims they are going to do better. i got some language into one of our va funding bills to help push the ball down the road a bit, but it is a shame and

disgrace what has happened. it is tragic to listen to these stories of people who have served their country, and they come home to what? a bunch of bureaucracy that tries to -- and it appeared to me very clearly that in many instances they were trying to figure out how to deny the claims, rather than try to help them. >> right. representative lee i was struck by one of the guys that stood up at your meeting, jason myers. he did three tours in iraq. he suffered a brain injury, a has a breathing problem and he asked for medical care, and he is still waiting for an answer. and he says i'm not here because i'm pissed off, i'm here because i want to get it done. and thank god of you two saying this is unacceptable.

>> we indicate the fix-it forum, because we had va officials in the next room who were helping veterans sort through all of this, and we have to follow up because we didn't get through all of them, because there were so many. but we intent to fix all of these claims and help these veterans. we intend to make this region step up to the plate, and i believe this was an excellent first step, but hopefully some of our veterans were able to get their claims resolved on that day. because we were actually ensuring that the va officials and half, you know, met face-to-face with these veterans. >> yep, absolutely. congress woman lee this is the president yesterday. take a listen. on the campaign trial, talking about the economy. president obama yesterday. >> those of us who spend a lot

of time talking a lot -- lot of americans, come to realize the problem isn't the american people aren't productive enough. productivity is actually higher than it has ever been. you have been working harder than ever. >> you know, it's interesting, because the right-wing just keeps saying the president is against capitalism, and i think so far he is doing a pretty good job of explaining that he is not. that he is against the kind of vulture capitalism that say the bain capitals of the world have exercised. >> absolutely. that is their only defense, and i think people are very clear on that. when you look at the president's record and the more he talks about his efforts to create jobs and how we are on it in terms of the trajectory of economic job creation, people are going

to see right through that. these republicans and tea party candidates, really are trying to create an argument to try to defeat the president. mitch mcconnell said it very clearly, that their first priority was to make president obama a one-term president. people get it. they know the 99% deserve fairness and opportunity. and that's what the president is all about, creating opportunities so everybody can take care of their families. reignite the american dream and make sure people have the quality of life they so deserve. the bush administration, yes. their economic policies are exactly what mitt romney wants to go back to. and if that is the case we have to recognize, we'll go way, way back and big ourselves deeper in the hole not to mention the deficit. >> yeah. exactly. >> if in fact these policies
