pirate day. good morning to our viewers in the west. it is wednesday, september 19th, 2012. it is wednesday, september 19th, 2012. welcome to "cbs this morning." captioning funded by cbs mitt romney doesn't back down from his comments while a new poll shows president obama in the lead in three swing states. was jesus married? a new document leads to more questions. president and jackie kennedy revealed. we begin with this morning's eye opener, your world in 90 seconds. >> my expectation is that if you want to be president, you have to work for everybody, not just for some. >> president obama takes mitt romney to task as the gop nominee stands by his controversial comments. >> mitt romney caught on tape
7:01 am
saying near ly half of the country is dependent on government. and they think they're victims. >> we, of course, are talking about a campaign and how he is going to get close to half the vote. i'm going to get half the vote, approximately. i hope. >> maybe he didn't mean it the way it sounded. whatever he meant, writing off half the electorate is just not smart politics. next thing i know, bam! >> millions of people along the east coast dealing with the aftermath of a wicked storm. >> from washington, d.c. to boston, utility crews will be scrambling to restore electricity to tens of thousands of people. back to school for students in chicago today. union teachers voted to accept the latest contract proposal. >> french satirical magazine inciting violence with its new cartoons of prophet muhammad. lindsay lohan left the scene of an accident when she struck a man who was parked in an alley.
7:02 am
>> i give him big props for doing that, and embarrassing himself in public. that's the wall. he leaps. good-bye! >> smile! >> all that. >> smile! >> what did those nunns do to you? >> what is your guilty pleasure? >> a donut for me. >> peanut butter sandwiches and chocolate milk. >> the story tellers. >> you look sharp. >> you haven't seen me naked. >> we're going to keep it that way. welcome to "cbs this morning" with just seven weeks to go until election day. the hidden camera remarks made by mitt romney continue to dominate the campaign. governor mitt romney is sticking by those comments about voters who don't pay income tax. and more bad news for governor
7:03 am
romney. a brand new poll this morning for the three crucial swing states. quinnipi quinnipiac/"new york times"/cbs news poll shows president obama leading 51% to 47%. >> and in colorado it's tight, leading by one point, less than the poll margin of error. president obama won all of those three states in 2008. as jan kroufcrawford reports, m romney is still battling that secretly recorded video that came out earlier this week. good morning. >> good morning to our viewers in the west. romney is already on his way to the east coast, ending up in the swing state of florida tonight. that video is continuing to dominate the conversation and the coverage. >> barack obama. >> reporter: appearing last night on cbs' "late show with david letterman," president obama tried to claim the high
7:04 am
ground. in responding to romney's remark s at a may fund-raiser. >> one thing i've learned as president is you represent the entire country. >> hi, how are you? >> reporter: romney spent all day, facing questions about his comments at the fund-raiser that nearly half the country didn't pay taxes, view themselves as victims and, therefore, were committed to the president. >> my job is not to worry about those people. i'll never convince them. >> reporter: that gave the president a huge opening and the president pounced. >> when i meet republicans, as i'm traveling around the country, they are hardworking, family people who care deeply about this country. and my expectation is that if you want to be president, you've got to work for everybody. not just for some. >> reporter: but romney is standing strong, refusing to back down from the most controversial comments in the video released by the liberal magazine, mother jones. in interviews and on the campaign trail, runningmate paul
7:05 am
ryan says it fits squarely with the governor's message. >> the problem you see in this country, so many people have fallen into poverty that they're not paying taxes. they have to row lie on governmen government. the right course is not to have government helping out but government helping people to get back to good jobs. >> reporter: some have been critical of the romney remarks. others say it's a chance to talk about how his outlook differs from that of the president. supporter governor chris a town hall meeting said tuesday romney had to make the case for his election instead of arguing why the president doesn't deserve re-election. >> it's his job over the next 49 days to make his case not -- i would suggest to you, respectfully, not just against barack obama, but he has to make the case for mitt romney. >> now romney is getting advice from all over the place today. some criticism from conservative elites like "the wall street journal's" peggy noonan, calling
7:06 am
the campaign incompetent and saying those comments are not how leaders talk. others say listen, this always happens when the candidate behind, people always get nervous. charlie, norah? >> is the campaign nervous? >> charlie, i've got to tell you, they are not. they are focused. they believe the polls are tightening. that convention bounce that the president got is starting to narrow. they feel they've got enough cash and campaign money from all those fau fund-raisers romney is doing and put new ads in swing states. they believe it's going to start to turn and they've got the debates coming up. they're still sounding confident and they're not listening to the critics on the outside who say they have to change course or should be feeling desperate. >> jan crawford, thank you. let's bring in face the nation host and chief correspondent bob schieffer. wall street journal video jolts campaign. romney in tight race. how do you change the
7:07 am
conversation? >> i don't know. i suppose that's what the romney campaign, if they're all as calm and cool and collected as jan crawford just said, maybe they have figured it out. i tell you, this is -- this was just an extraordinary moment. i mean, you know, if there was one thing that mitt romney has been fighting from the very beginning, charlie, it was that he is this rich guy who is sort of out of touch with the rest of america. we went through the thing -- the car elevators in his vacation home. he said before i'm not worried about the poor. i just can't think of anything that he could have said that could have hurt his cause more than what he said. because it just seemed to confirm that he really hadn't -- i mean, i just wondered, did he understand who he was talking
7:08 am
about? when you write off half the electorate and say there's no way i'm going to get their vote. and then you hear him say these people won't take responsibility for their own lives. i mean, did he understand who he was talking about? retired people on social security, retired military families. a lot of those people were republican voters and were for him. so i think he's got a lot of work to do, to dig out of this hole and i don't think he's out of it yet. >> you know, bob, karl rove, who is involved in a super pac that helps fund campaign ad that is support mitt romney, even he said americans who don't pay income taxes are part of the gop coalition. it's not just pundits and columnists but strategists like karl rove who suggested this is a problem. do you think it changes the dynamic of this race?
7:09 am
is it a turning point or can romney recover? >> i don't know. i sincerely do not know the answer to that question. i think that karl rove is right. you also have noticed running for the senate in a very tight senate race up in connecticut, she said not my view. scott brown, who is in that tight senate race up in massachusetts, you might have expected this from him. he is a much more liberal republican than some of the other candidates out there this year. he said, you know, that was not his view. this is a serious problem. i mean, why -- i mean, go back to the question. peggy noonan in "the wall street journal" this morning says it's incompetent campaign. that may be a little bit strong, but you have to wonder, what was the thinking behind this? why would someone say something like this? it takes you back to why would you -- i can't figure out why
7:10 am
anyone would have said this. >> he seems not to know whether to double down on one side or try to move on. and you find the situation in which even the people that he listened to seemed to be concerned about this and it seems in this case to, in a sense, go to the heart, as they say, of a gaffe where it simply confirms with the story that is being told by what the opposition says. >> absolutely. it would seem to confirm the perception that a lot of people have and it seems to confirm the image that the obama campaign has been pushing. this is what the obama people want people to think about mitt romney, that he is out of touch, that, you know, he does have to deal with the kind of problems that other people do. and so this -- i think it's a very serious thing here. >> bob, thank you so much. go to cbsnews.com for complete
7:11 am
results of the quinnipiac/cbs news"new york times" poll. it shows where voters stand on issues like the economy and foreign policy. much of the east coast is cleaning up this morning after a very wet and windy storm. severe weather hit the east coast yesterday from georgy to new england with soaking rain and powerful winds. heavy rain and winds of more than 50 miles per hour triggered widespread flooding, knocking down trees and power lines. tens of thousands have no power this morning. train and air travel were disrupted and tornado warnings were issued for parts of new york. the storms have moved offshore this morning and floodwaters have begun to recede. new anti-american protests have forced a consulate in indonesia to close for the day and schools and embassies in 20 countries because of a french magazine that is showing cartoons depicting the prophet muhammad. >> this time it's the french
7:12 am
satirical publication, small publication, small magazine, but appears to be making a pretty big splash. the cover of the magazine shows what appears to be an orthodox jewish man and a muslim, equal opportunity insults perhaps, but inside there is said to be cartoons depicting a naked muhammad. an irreverent publication. it's beefed up security at french embassies. it's closing, as you say, embassies and schools in 20 countries around the world. tomorrow. and there are riot police stationed outside the magazine's headquarters in paris. french muslims -- remember, this is the biggest muslim community in europe -- has said the publication exacerbates tension s and could provoke reaction. they called for a lawful response, though. >> all right. mark phillips, thank you. the teachers' strike in

7:14 am
arsenic pesticides. now the arsenic is still in the soil and rice is very effective in pulling it out of the soil. >> what does arsenic do to you? >> it's a serious problem. it causes cancer. it causes lung, skin and bladder cancer. it also is very harmful to babies' brain development. if a baby is exposed to arsenic in the womb or if the baby gets arsenic in the very first months of life, cereal and so forth, it could affect brain development, cause behavioral problems. >> there should be specific recommendations, no rice milk for children under age 5, right? >> a prudent position for the next few months or years until the fda standards come out is that parents avoid rice or at least avoid any rice that comes from texas, louisiana, missouri. stay with california rice, asian rice or, when in doubt go with
7:15 am
barley or oatmeal. >> what about baby rice cereal? we all give our babies at 8 months rice cereal. should we be concerned about that? >> yeah. the smart thing to do is be concerned and not do it. >> not feed them rice cereal? >> not feed them rice. >> what are you going to feed them? >> oatmeal, barley. there are other products that people have used for centuries. >> is it different in brown rice and white rice? >> brown rice has more arsenic. the reason is that it contains the shells. white rice has no shells and arsenic concentrates the shells. >> what about adults? should adults be worried about arsenic in rice? >> not as much. it's much more dangerous for babies. it's intelligent to limit the amount of rice you eat but you don't have to cut it out entirely if you're an adult. >> this is coming from consumer reports. >> yeah. >> why isn't this coming from the fda? we've got a statement from the fda. they are doing a study. shouldn't the fda be at the forefront of this, protecting consumers, protecting americans?
7:16 am
>> they're doing the right thing by saying they're doing a study and they'll get there. meantime, i think parents, grandparents, consumers have to be intelligent. >> the fda, look at this statement, says they do not have an adequate data and tien tisk basis to ban rice products. you're saying don't feed babies rice cereal and the fda is saying no reason to change anything. >> the advice i'm going to be giving parents in my practice is avoid rice. >> good to know. dr. landrigan, thank you. american airlines is warning more than 11,000 employees that they may be laid off. notices went out to mechanics and groundworkers whose jobs will be affected as they go through bankruptcy restructuring. they plan to cut only about 4,500 jobs. new cost-cutting contracts with eight labor groups but the pi t pilots union voted against the company's last contract offer.

it is welcome back to "cbs this morning." a brand-new cbs poll shows president obama leading in three key swing states while mitt romney stands by his controversial comments. and this video cost mon than a dozen life guards their jobs. we'll show you why they're telling city officials to wake up because times are changing. but first here's a look at what's happening in the world and what we've been covering on "cbs this morning." the right course for america is to create growth, create wealth, not to redistribute wealth. >> romney is still trying to contain the fallout from that secretly recorded video that came out this week. >> caught on tape saying nearly half of the country is dependent
8:01 am
on government and they think they're victims. >> i think he's got a lot of work to do to dig out of this hole and i don't think he's out of it yet. >> there's a 1600 year old document. it is the first known statement from that era that refers to jesus talking about having a wife. >> when an anonymous collector reached out to translate the document, she was skeptical, but after close examination she and her colleagues now say it's real. much of the east coast is cleaning up this morning after a very wet and windy storm. severe weather hit the east coast yesterday from georgia to new england. >> and it is an intimate look at camelot never before seen. pictures of president kennedy and his wife jackie in a private and public moments. >> that is the space shuttle "endeavour" going from the kennedy space center in florida to los angeles. the democrats thought i was going senile. the republicans knew i was. >> i wanted to know before we get started if you would like to say something to the empty chair.
8:02 am
i'm charlie rose with norah o'donnell and gayle king. president obama is responding to governor mitt romney's comment that 47% of americans believe they're victims and that it's not his job as a candidate to worry about them. this morning romney is not backing down. >> no, i'm talking about a perspective of individuals who i'm not likely to get to support me. i recognize that those people who are not paying income tax are going to say, gosh, this provision that mitt keeps talking about lowering income taxes, that's not going to be real attractive to them. those that are dependent upon government and those that think government's job is to redistribute, i'm not going to get them. >> i don't know what he was referring to, but i can tell you this, when i won in 2008, 47% of the american people voted for john mccain, they didn't vote for me. and what i said on election night was even though you didn't vote for me, i hear your voices
8:03 am
and i'm going to work as hard as i can to be your president. >> with us now is former republican strategist frank luntz. good morning. >> good morning. >> so now you see a number of republicans, former republicans criticizing mitt romney for his comments. is this a turning point in the campaign? >> well, it clearly puts him on his back feet, and he doesn't need this when he's behind in the polls. but they're not criticizing him for the overall philosophy, they're criticizing him for how he articulated it. first we had the 99 to 1%. now we've got the 47 to 53%. americans do believe that there's too much dependency on government and they want more personal responsibility. what they don't like is that line in romney's statement where he says, i don't care about them. they want a president to care about everyone regardless of whether you vote for them or not. >> right. but those 47% of americans who don't pay federal income tax are not victims or dependent on
8:04 am
government. many of them do pay payroll taxes. many of them are seniors who worked hard their entire life and now just live on social security of which you don't have to pay income taxes and some of them are republicans. >> actually, yes. that's the issue. first you're trying to decide are you in the 53 or 47. then you're trying to decide, do you pay or not. he wants to be talking about the economy. he wants to be talking about jobs, deficit, debt, instead he's talking about this issue. we've got the newspapers today, romney exposed. a spit in the face. this is not the coverage that he wants 48 days before the election. >> so how does he get back on message and what are you hearing from the people out there? >> well, we were just in wisconsin yesterday. i was in charlotte back on saturday and it broke my heart. a moderator is never supposed to admit that they break down in a group but a gentleman told me not that he moved in with his parents, that his parents had had to move back with him, his sister had to move back with him. i gave him an extra $20 to stay with the focus group. it broke him up because he
8:05 am
needed that $20. there was more despair and disappointment in this country in the 20 years i've been doing this. that's what these candidates want to hear. they want to know that you're going to respond to it, that you're going to answer it. >> what the people want. >> romney is suggesting those people are mooching off the system. he wasn't offering a helping hand in that statement or at least that's how they might interpret. >> that's the whole issue. it's the interpretation versus what is meant. no one trusts political ads anymore. they don't trust any of the statements coming from the politicians that's why these debates are so important. i want to make this clear. the race isn't over. it's not a game changer. it just puts them behind a couple of days. >> can i just point out one thing too, in our new polls that are out this morning we've seen that still republicans are more enthusiastic than democrats about voting this year in general and that enthusiasm has grown since early august. so this race is not over for mitt romney. >> not only is it not over, if romney can change the focus with 23 million unemployed, he's got
8:06 am
a tremendous opportunity but they cannot have campaign events like this which put him off his game. >> frank luntz, we thank you. >> thank you. now to some medical news. if you sfr from headaches, new advice says stop taking the medicine. british health officials say using drugs like aspirin and ibuprofen on a regular basis actually makes your headaches worse because they make the brain immune to the effects of the drug. this he say do things like acupuncture instead. this morning some hollywood drama is not on the screen. the academy of motion picture arts and sciences has decided to move up its oscar nominations by five days to january 10th. that puts oscar nominations ahead of the golden globe awards. which usually give fans a good idea of what movies will get an oscar nod. because of the oscar change the director's guild which had scheduled its nominations for january 10th will do it two days earlier. and do you know what a meme is? it's an idea, image or song that

>> reporter: julia gil lek said she was fired. >> i loved teaching the kids and making sure everybody was safe. this was a fun thing to capture our memories with. >> reporter: it can be argued that video spoofs are a part of the cultural phenomenon. not only have groups done takeoffs of gangnam style. they've done amateur versions of "call me maybe." >> i think some of this is a generational divide. that maybe there's people on the el monte city council who don't appreciate this is the way people communicate today. >> reporter: even sigh says they might have gone off the deep end. he's pleading for them to get their jobs back. >> i'm begging you, do not fire please. >> reliable life guards. >> reporter: last night the fired life guards were hoping the el monte city council would throw them a life preserver.

it wasn't your typical airport sendoff, unless of course you're the future king of england. the duke and duchess of cambridge wrapped up their nine day asian pacific tour today. a trip packed with photo ops. their last stop, the tiny island nation of tuvalu produced some of the most festive ones. kate slipped into local garb and felt the island beat last night. prince william joined her for a somewhat stiff though definitely spirited dance. it wasn't the effortless ease that his brother, prince harry, showed when we were with him in jamaica earlier this year, but with all of those cameras peering on, dancing dignitaries rarely look smooth. remember hillary clinton in south africa, or president bush with that west african dance company in the rose garden.

paparazzi. behind the scenes the couple was said to be furious and their lawyers immediately filed a lawsuit. the judge granted an injunction just yesterday to stop further publication of those pictures in france. on their third stop, the solomon islands, they received a warm welcome in a place where regular internet access is out of reach for most. many had never seen those topless pictures. in tuvalu the couple continued to do what you'd expect a royal visitor to do in a place where the queen is ceremonial head of state. they visited a primary school and joined in a slightly formal ball game. the prince even brandished a machete to try to get a sip of coconut milk just like the locals do. it was a last full day in paradise before facing the fallout from those photos back at home. >> reporter: in many ways this has been a trip of dueling photo

8:32 am
judgment? are they more prone to bad economic models? >> i think the u.s. travel market, you know, for a long time is changing. half of all the world's travel is inside the united states. so it's a challenging market. you know, it's interesting if you go back through time, people who ran steam ships with people, planes, trains very difficult to make money moving people. very challenging thing. >> so why do you do it? >> again and again and again. >> i don't know, i guess i have a sickness. it's something that's difficult but i think the airlines and their methods in the united states are advanced because they've had to go through a lot. >> look at this with an interview with richard branson. >> everybody knows that u.s. carers, quality of carriers is pretty dismal.
8:33 am
>> yeah. singapore does a better job than american. that's not what most people fly. that's a very small percentage of people. as far as the economic model and how they run their businesses i think it's pretty advance. we have a lot to learn from others. >> david, many people say jetblue has not been the same since you left. i'm sure you've heard that. >> thousands of times. >> not been the same. was it difficult for you? here's the airline you founded and after that big fluff in february where you step aside. was it a painful decision for you >> extras extremely painful because it's something -- i created a business. i didn't need to do jetblue it was something i felt passionate about. i wanted to create a place where people could say this is the best job i ever had. if they could say that then customers would get on board and say wow this is the best flight i've ever had. that's the model. to have customers say that and
8:34 am
crew members say please come back. it's hard. really difficult. but i got a little bit of therapeutic relief from that by is going brazil and starting another airline that people every day say thank so you much for my job. as sad as me leaving yet blue and being able to be here in new york and watch it close hand, when i go to brazil people thsa they are glad i did that. >> it's called azul, the airline is called azul. do you have something with the color blue? >> blue, azul. maybe a poke in the eye a little bit to show that, you know, i could do it again and, of course, but you know it's something that -- it's special to me to create businesses for
8:35 am
people to make a difference. >> if you can change one thing about flying in america what would it be. >> wish we could figure out how to lower fuel prices. it's changed the dynamics. >> that's the economic life of the airlines. what about the passengers for them? how many times do we find ourselves stacked up at the airports. >> flying jetblue you have more leg room. live television. next year free internet for the customers. when i created live tv for the airplanes when i came up with that idea, it drives me insane to be cramped in a spot that i can't do anything. i thought let's entertain people, get them excited at least make at it neutral experience. >> people say you can't do that. >> i love it when people say well you can't do that because it could have been done by now. that drives me nuts. there's a lot of things that come about. >> why taken so long to get wi-fi on every plane.
8:36 am
>> good question. >> there is wi-fi on other airlines, but i think jetblue decided to go with a newer technology that was quicker and faster and has streaming video. they launched some satellite. we'll have it next year. >> is azul your last airline or document to build up and merge and build some dream you have? >> i think it might be my last. i love brazil and i love the people of brazil and as my dream to go back and make a difference in the life of brazilians. i just wish there was a way to get oil prices down. i think there's some interesting things out there. i want people to fly and travel. i don't like the fact that it's too expensive to travel and it really limits. i created jetblue so people can travel. >> before you go, david, i know you're a good friend. you consider mitt romney a friend. what is it you know about him that most people don't, what he's going through now? >> you know, he's just a great person. i've known him for a long time. hung out with him.

he's a very caring person. you know this whole thing that he doesn't care about people, you know, it's nuts. here's a guy that since 1999 when he took the job in olympics and i'm from utah and it's special to me, didn't take a salary. worked as governor of massachusetts didn't take a salary. gives a lot of his money away. and, you know, i think sometimes he comes across wrong and things are taken out of context but to say i don't care about 47% of americans is not true. he says i want to take care of people creating jobs so we have money around to continue to support these other people and so -- >> then why didn't he say that? >> he cares about people trust me. in his church callings and identify been with him there. he's done enormous amount of service. i think there's another side that wants to look, portray him as a rich out of touch guy who doesn't care about people. absolutely not the case.,,
