former hillsdale high school student that carried out a pipe bomb attack. the jury found youshock guilty. if he is found legally insane, he would be held in a state mental hospital. complaints in antioch about the complaint department. right now because of staff cut backs that department is limited in the number of responses. the code enforcement department oversees inspections and neighborhood improvement projects. the issue goes before antioch city council. pg&e issued a new pipeline report. this one probably will raise safety concerns. pg&e says there are roughly 34

miles of pipelines under northern california cities that could be considered high risk. pg&e also admits its earlier records failed to point out this possible safety problem. poor recordkeeping is a major focus of the continuing federal investigation into last septembers pipeline disaster in san bruno. pg&e has been ordered by state regulators to show proof that customers will not pay for the $35 million retirement package for the outgoing ceo. first they said customers would have to pay peter darbee's $10 million pension. but after loud public protests, pg&e said it would pay darbee's pension out of its own profits. they tole pg&e no set up a special account to pay for his pension. >> today they will join jackie

talking about the birther controversy the issues surrounding getting the official birth certificate out. we have been showing that on our screen. >> think just released that long form critics have been saying we need to see it to prove that the president was really born in the united states and the president says all right finally here it is. take a look at it. it's from hawaii. it's signed by his mother, grandmother, and shows the doctor that delivered the president and all of these things. the president will be coming out to talk about that we assume and the president made a new appointment. moved around members of its cabinet today. >> he will be talking about that as well. we'll keep watching that as soon as we let us know he is keeping an eye on that in the newsroom. right now let's check in with sal. hopefully no big problems for the commute, sal. >> by the way i do have a screen here.

so if we see the president walk up i will toss it right back. let's take a look at the commute. traffic is moving along pretty well. as you get out to highway 237. it will be a little bit slow. nothing major so far as you drive across to the valley. pardon me as you are driving on interstate 880 near the coliseum the traffic is moving well in both directions. this mornings drive westbound bay bridge that is backed up for about a ten minute delay at the toll plaza. we will go to steve. of course steve will be aware of the president. >> i'm standing by to stand by. that is correct. sunshine i'm sorry say again? back to the desk. >> all right we are looking live at president obama. let's listen in. i was back there listening to chuck. he said it's amazing he will not be talking about national security. i would not have the networks breaking in if i was talking about that and you know it.

[ laughter ] as many of you have been briefed, we provided additional information today about the site of my birth. now this issue has been going on for 2-2.5 years now. it started during the campaign. over the last 2.5 years i have watched with amusement, i have been puzzled at the degree to which this thing kept ongoing. we've had every official in hawaii democrat and republican every news outlet that has investigated this confirmed that yes, in fact, i was born in hawaii august 4th, 1961. we have posted the

certification that is given by the state of hawaii on the internet for everybody to see. people have provided avids that -- affidavits that we have seen it. normally i would not comment on this because there is a lot of stuff swirling in the press and i have other things to do. but two weeks ago when the republican house had put forward a budget that will have huge consequences potentially to the country and when i gave a speech about my budget and how i felt that we needed to invest in education and infrastructure and making sure we had a strong safety net for our seniors even as we were closing the deficit during that

entire week, the dominant news story wasn't about the huge monumental choices we had to make it was about my birth certificate. that was true on most of the news outlets represented here. and so i just want to make a larger point here. we've got some enormous challenges out there. there are a lot of folks out there that are still looking for work. everybody is still suffering under high gas prices. we will have to make a series of very difficult decisions about how we invest in our future but also get ahold of our deficit and our debt. how do we do that in a balanced way? and this is going to generate huge and serious debates. important debates. and there will be fierce disagreements and that is good. that is how democracy is

supposed to work. i'm confident that the american people and america's political leaders can come together in a bipartisan way and solve these problems. we always have. but we are not going to be able to do it if we are distracted. we are not going to be able to do it if we spend time vell fewing each other, we will not be able to do it if we just make stuff up and pretend that facts are not facts. we will not be able to solve our problems if we get distracted by side shows and carnival parkers. we live in a serious time right now and we have the potential to deal with the issues that we confront in a way that will make our kids and grand kids and great grand kids proud.

and i have every confidence that america in the 21st century will be able to come out on top like we always have. we will have to get serious to do it. i know there will be a segment of people for which no matter what we put out this issue will not be put to rest. but i'm speaking to the vast majority of the american people as well as to the press. we do not have time for this kind of silliness. we have better stuff to do. i've got better stuff to do. we have big problems to solve and i'm confident we can solve them. we will have to focus on them. not on this. thanks very much everybody. >> republican leaders -- >> you have been looking and listening live to president obama live at the white house addressing the issue of the white house just released his

birth certificate showing he was born in hawaii. he said several things. he said it's time to get serious about the problems facing the people of the united states time to come together solve the problems. and he said not be distracted by side shows and carnival barkers. >> we do not have time for this silliness. we have more on what is coming out of the white house this morning and what apple has to say about the iphone stay with us.

let's quickly check the weather. here's steve. >> we do have sunshine today. a little breezy, but highs, 60s, upper 60s and low 70s it

will be cooler tomorrow and nice except for the wind. all right, steve. coming up on "mornings on 2," you watched it live, president obama trying to end a nagging controversy once and for all. more coming up from washington, d.c. live. an overnight bonfire killed eight horses. a spray-painted message has police calling this a hate cry. stay right here with us.
