i had hoped that the new president would bring new jobs. not major layoffs, not people going through major foreclosures on their homes. he did get his healthcare through, but at what cost? he said he was going to cut the deficit in his first term. i've seen zero interest in reducing spending. he inherited a bad situation, but he made it worse. i think he's a great person. i don't feel he is the right leader for our country, though. i still believe in hope and change, i just don't think obama's the way to go for that. the president has not earned re -election, in 2012, in my book. i've seen his now definition of hope and change. it's not the hope and change i want, and it's not the hope and change i thought i was going to get. i don't feel that i helped my grandchildren by voting for president obama and i regret that. americans for prosperity is responsible for the content of this advertising.

writing poetry and making speeches promoting jihad. he sent 6 months in abu ghraib prison. the worst thing was the rock and roll music played by soldiers. a 12-foot long shark on camera. the shark less than five miles from shore experts believe it was a great white weighing tin t more than a thousand pounds. sharks have been spotd in that area. earlier this month a great white attacked a man while he and his son were swimming toward a sandbar. >> he was admitted as a precautionary measure after suffering his second bladder infection. it is likely he will remain at the hospital for a few days. a new study shows your blood

type might effect your risk of heart disease. researchers say people with type ab blood are the most prone to heart disease followed by types b then type a and finally type o which shows the least connection to coronary problems. fortunately only 4 percent of americans are type ab while 45 percent are type o. those are your 5 at 5:30. >> it wasn't about you it was what the place stands for. those rule words coming from the man suspected of shooting a security guard waat a christian labbing group headquarters. peter doocy is live with more on this. we know the suspect in yesterday's shooting at the family research council bought his gun five days prior to august 10th. he bought it legally which suggests he does not have a major criminal record. the fbi says taken into custody

he is being held overnight on charge of assault with a deadly weapon. the investigation into the shooting is continuing. the fbi will make no further comment at this time. here's a good look at floyd lee corkins ii being raised. he posed as an intern. he volunteered recently with the dc center for the lgbt community. it was during an altercation with security guard leo johnson that corkins opened fire shooting mr. johnson in the arm. johnson is recovering at the hospital. police are thanking him. >> i would say in this case the security officer is a hero as far as i am concerned. he did his job. the person never made it past the front door. >> the family research council says the police are investigating the incident.

by congressman ryan would force seniors to pay $364 a year. i assume they don't have it. my plan already extended medicare by nearly a decade. their plan ends medicare as we know it. my plan reduces the cost of medicare by cracking down on fraud and waste and subsidies to insurance companies. their plan makes seniors pay more so they can give another tax cut for billions. that's an example of the choice in this election that's why i am running for second term as president of the united states of america. >> and paul ryan firing back. the president i am told is talking about medicare today. they want this debate.

(applause) we need this debate. and we will win this debate. (applause) what i don't think he will be telling people is that the president took $716 billion from the medicare program, raided it to pay for obama care. the president's campaign says this raid of medicare to pay for obama care which leads to fewer services for current seniors is an achievement. do you think ratiiding medicareo pay for obama care is an achievement? well, neither do i. ryan stressing his plan would not effect any one over 55.
