right now, another pitch from the president on health care. did his latest message help his cause? were the questions tough enough? a live report is ahead. a dead cat, one new report suggests it might figure into the deadly collision last week.

we'll explain. michael vick starts a new life, but with a new team. does he deserve a second chance, or do athletes get opportunities that others don't? plus how some are using skype to meet your match? good morning, everyone. we have all of that plus the band u2 sets a new record. but first we're turning or attention to the west. president obama will address a crowd in colorado at 6:15 p.m. eastern today, and in his weekly address this morning, the president once again criticizes the media for focusing on the disagreements at some town has, saying television, quote, loves a ruckus. here's one of the toughest questions the president faced. >> we keep getting the bull. that's all we get, is bull. you can't tell us how you're going to pay for this. the only way you'll get that money is to raise our taxes. >> i'm happy to answer the

question. >> okay. thank you. look, you are absolutely right that i can't cover another 46 million people for free. >> i'm joined live from big sky, montana, chuck todd. good morning again, chuck. >> reporter: good morning, alex. >> let's talk about the president's response. what was it and did it satisfy the crowd? >> well, i think the crowd was satisfied with the answer. what the president did was, he answered specifically on this issue of paying for health care. you know, this is something that's frustrated the white house a bit. that is, from the very beginning, the president said whatever they do with health care, it is not going to add to the deficit. the problem is, you know, the general public is still seeing what government is doing in general, in seeing a big deficit, in seeing a lot of money spent. while it is true that everything

they're doing, every plan they've come up will be deficit-neutral when it comes to this thing, it's just not -- that part of it is penetrating the public psyche enough, or what, because that has been something that, when you listen to these protesters and listen to the folks that have come to these town has and been upset, really the core of the upset, of why they're upset has to do with the deficit, money and government spending. >> was that, though, the toughest it got for the president? and does the white house in general want even tougher questioning to help answer some of the apparent anger out there is it. >> i think there is part of the white house that believes the lemonade to be made with the lemons, with the ruckus, as the president likes to call it, and the coverage is there may be opportunity in two forms. one, if he does get confronted

and it's somehow fiery, the president's demeanor, he can confront the sit was, calm it, create a moment and maybe that becomes a turning point. or more likely, and i think what we have seen -- and i think most of the town has haven't been as fiery as some folks have seen on television -- is that it ends up firing up obama's base and gets obama supporters charged up and trying to get out there and show some support for him. and the president yesterday even sort of acting as if that's what he was looking for when he said, i need you knocking on doors. >> thank you very much, chuck todd. we'll check in with you one more time this morning, if you can check in. >> reporter: you bet. i'll be in the tee pea. who is winning august? i'm joined live by pat buchanan

and democratic strategist, former edwards communications director, and good morning to the two of you. >> good morning, alex. >> good morning. >> pat, who is winning august? >> i think the protesters are winning august if we believe the polls. the president is under water on health care, some polls show him almost below 40% of approval, and above 50% disapproval. and in addition to that, the country apparently agrees with the protesters by 2 to 1. so i think the protesters are winning august. however, and i think the major overall great big health care pudding he's not going to get, but i think he can get something. >> chris, your take on who's winning august and why? >> listen, we'll speak frankly, the protesters and town has that have clearly got a lot of media attention have complicated things, made things more difficult for the white house

and democrats. it's much more difficult in explaining a policy that in some cases is still coming together. what you saw in the town hall was him trying to attack head-on in terms of what you'll get from the policy and what you'll not get. in terms of i think at the end of the day who wins? i think the president is going to win, because we're going to have some kind of health reform package passed in september, early october. >> do you, chris, wish you could see more fire breathing from the crowd so, it doesn't look so staged? >> you know, in terms of the town has of the president, it is very difficult -- i don't care if you're republican, democrat, a fiery protester -- to get up there and say to the president of the understand in a really angry tone, and give a question in an angry tone. i think it's difficult and

unlikely. i don't think it's something that the american people want to see, so this notion of let's get into a scrap with some individual, i don't think it helps really anybody. i think what the president did yesterday was the right approach, very reasonable discussion, laying out the points about what health care reform will do and disabusing the lies and misperceptions that are out there. >> let me say the difference between here and, say, richard nixon and spiro agnew in the 1970s, this crowd are middle-aged folks, older folks that the president of the united states, even if they're angry, they'll be respectful, but the crowds going after nixon and agnew were full of young people, 18, 19, 20. it's much ease yir to get up when you're that age to yell at the president of the united states when it does when you're something of a figure in a community, a serious person and genuinely concerned about this. so they're different kinds of crowds and these crowds are winning, because the american

people look out and say, well, those folks look a lot like me. if you see a bunch of demonstrators at harvard screaming at the president of the united states say those kids aren't like me. >> i don't know, pat, i'm thinking if you were out there in one of your town hall meetings, you certainly have the spirit of a 20-year-old. i've seen your energy, i think you could get things stirred up. >> i was talking to chris before we came on and i said, look, i might be loud and noisy, but when i walk into the room of the president of the united states, you automatically fire off a salute, talk politely. it's a very intimidating presence for all of us americans who -- that's the head of state and head of government and everything. >> due respect, i completely understand that. and you also have the secret service to make sure you adhere to that. >> i think this is the advantage the president has right now. you know, the one great thing about president obama, and i think he's not just a fantastic

orator, but when he makes an argument, he makes it better than anybody in politics. he lays out a clear, specific argument in case for health care reform, people are convinced. this is why i think whatever may have happened the weeks earlier with these protesters, as the white house strategy plays out the end of august, early september, this will turn dramatically in the president's favor. >> well, we are going to see, and more to come -- >> wishful thinking, alex. >> as i said all along, there are very strong opinions on both sides and a lot of ground to try to bring them all together. guys, we'll talk in about 30 minutes or so. thank you so much, pat and chris. we invite all of you to watch "meet the press" tomorrow. we'll have dick armey, senator tom coburn, former senate leader tom daschle, and rachel maddow, she's there as well on "meet the press." check your local listings.

seven people are dead, 91 injured after a suicide bombing in afghanistan. it happened in kabul, in a heavily guarded neighborhood. this blast kitchens five days before afghanistan's presidential election. the taliban has claimed responsibility for the attack. militants have also warned afghans not to get out and vote. the blast was the first major attack in kabul since february. here's dramatic video from china. look at the effect literally washing homes away, the heavy rains have not only caused landslides, but also destroyed roads. according to cctv, china's state-owned news channels, up to 11 people are dead, two are injured. right now in northern california, a fourth day of raging wildfires. today firefighters are starting to get control. so far eight square miles have burned in the santa cruz mountains, 15% of that fire is now contained, that is up from just 5% yesterday.

there's also new fears that the strong winds and dry conditions could help spark even more fires or move those existing ones into more densely populated areas. police in georgia have confirmed that a missing woman's cell phone has been found along the side of a road. a man mowing his lawn spotted that phone about three miles away from where christy cornwell disappeared. she was talking on her phone with her boyfriend. her boyfriend says he heard a scream and what sounded like a struggle. police say finding the phone will help in the investigation. >> the sheriff came to the ascertain out here and verified that the cell phone belongs to the victim. >> if you have any information on kristi cornwell, call the georgia bureau of investigation. after serving hard time for running a dogfighting ring, nfl quarterback michael vick is back in the game, literally.

he's getting a second chance, signing a two-year contract with the philadelphia eagles. >> i've paid my debt to society. i spent two years in prison, away from my fiancee, away from my mom, my family, away from my two kids, and that was a humbling experience, and i can't, you know, explain how deeply hurt and, you know, how sorry i was. >> reporter jillian miele with wcau, good morning. what's the reaction been like? >> reporter: good morning, alex. there's been a lot of controversy. it seems like everybody here in philadelphia has an. because it's big news. around 1:30, that's when vick is scheduled to start his first practice. there's no protesters out here.

we have a few new ends out here. no protesters yet. yesterday it seemed like there were animal rights protesters and activists pretty much anywhere you looked. a lot of those activists are saying they just don't feel like he deserves a second chance. they could trust he's truly remorseful. they don't think they can forgive the actions he did the last few years. of course, as we ahead michael vick yesterday, saying he has turned a new corner, says he is ready for this, and if he can help more dogs than he hurt, this will be worst it to him in the end. but that should be interesting today will be the true tell-all. >> besides the animal rights protesters, what about the eagles fans? what are they saying? >> they have more to say than the animal rights protesters. a lot of fans either love it or hate it that he is now an eagle.

vick says i know i'm not going to be a star. i am grateful for this opportunity. when he steps out on the field today, a lot of the fans are wondering what position will he play? we already have a star quarterback in donovan mcnabb, and that hasn't even been quite the discussion yet as far as the philadelphia eagles are concerned. a lot of people wonder what will he bring to the field? he hasn't been practicing in nearly threees. he was in jail 18 months, so a lot of people wonder if he'll be the same michael vick. >> if he gets an opportunity, if donovan mcnabb gets injured, look out. jennifer mele, thanks so much for the live report. appreciate that. well, the first-named storm of 2009 atlantic hurricane season is taking shape at this hour, and bill is tracking tropical storm ana. what's the latest? >> i've been making this mistake all morn.

i've been making this mistake all morning. there's only one "n" so it's officially pronounced "auna." let's look at the big map. the u.s. is up there underneath the logo. to the south of the caribbean islands, and soon you'll have tropical depression number three. i believe in the next half hour or 45 minutes, the hurricane center will be tracking the next storm. the big question is where will they head? first the official forecast from the hurricane center. it will take about two to three days, the storm will be close to puerto rico. then after that it will make that trek somewhere possibly over the dominican republic, cuba, in the bahamas. the timing on it would be late

monday into tuesday morning, then somewhere near the bahamas on wednesday or over cuba, possibly florida, maybe even south carolina, georgia, who knows. five days away, a lot could happen. now is the time to start to prepare and think about this storm. really they'll come one after another. the hurricane center does not bring it up to hurricane strength. i think they're going to take this track and shift it a little further south. i think there's a better chance of this hitting somewhere near puerto rico and dominican remust be and weakening, maybe becoming a category 2 or something. i'm probably dumb to even speculate at this point, but the latest trend is further south. i think the next one behind it is the one to watch. >> then there's that hurricane bill. >> we don't like bill, do we? >> no, it will be all about you in many ways. thank you very much. still ahead, new questions about the economy and whether we're moving away from a

recession. also, how skype is becoming the new way to meet the love of your life, but does it make date less personal. and why three legends are rock are getting together on a big screen. a new documentary out this weekend. this is my verizon small business specialist, tom. now, i know the catering business but when i walked in here i wasn't sure what i needed. i'm not sure what i need. tom showed me how to use mifi to get my whole team working online, on location. i was ke, "woah". woah ! only verizon wireless has small business specialists in every store to help you do business better. you're like my secret ingredient. come in today and connect up to five devices on one 3g connection. now only $99.99 when i really liked to be outside, i did not like suffering from nasal allergy symptoms like congestion. but nasonex relief may i say... bee-utiful!

t tcks. ququq n . msnbc is the place for politics. today it's colorado's turn in the health care spotlight. president obama is head to go grand junction to hold a town hall-style meeting. democrats praise grand junction, because doctors have agreed to share the costs of treating the poor, but opponents say the town proves doctors can treat everyone without government

intervention. i'm joined by ann kornblut. good morning. >> good morning. >> with emotions running pretty high, this is clearly a tough sell for the president. if we use yesterday's town hall as an example of what's to come, do you think the president will second in getting the public on his side? >> well, it's really too soon to tell at this point. he's got more time. today, as you said,less his last town hall meeting before he goes on vacation, so i think it remains to be seen what the rest of august looks like. there will be more sort of raucous town hall meetings presumably with lawmakers out in the country, so today is really his last chance. the white house had anticipated, maybe even hoped for some really seriously challenging questions for the president, but as we've seen in portsmouth earlier in the week and yesterday in montana, the questions have been tough. there were a couple tough ones,

but not quite as aggressive, so maybe he'll get that tough question. >> let's look at one of the at least more heated moments yesterday. it was posed by a health insurance agent. let's listen. >> why is it that you've changed your strategy from talking about health care reform to health insurance reform, and decided to vilify the insurance companies? >> okay, that's a fair question. that's a fair question. first of all, you are absolutely right that the insurance companies in some cases have been constructive. my intent is not to vilify insurance companies. if i was vilifying them, what we would be doing would be to say that private insurance has no place in the health care market, and some people believe that. i don't believe that. >> you know, it's interesting the way the president reacts. he listens to his people, they make their controversial points and then says you are absolutely right, and then he goes on to explain. how do you agreed the way you

handle this you don't have to give me a agreed, just your thoughts. >> this is one of the things that white house advisers love about the president. he's very diplomatic, able to take those questions, able to see the truth, the goodness in all of those questions, and then he's able to turn it around and talk about what he wants to talk about. what i thought was interesting was the questioning pointed out the rhetoric shift that the white house has done, to talk about health hurricane instead of health care. of course they've done that, because they don't want people left with the impression it will be government-run health care, but you're right, he was extremely sort of diplomatic, kind to the questioner, and what they're hoping is they can get an even tougher question and answer it in a similar way. >> what about the big names traditionally seen with health carry reform, they're absent. ted kennedy, tom daschle, how do you think their absence has affected the debate so far? >> well, you know, we've heard from democrats on capitol hill,

in particular ted kennedy's absence has been really tough. maybe if he were there there would be a deal by now or something along those lines and emotionally it's tough for the democrats not to have one of their big leaders there. also this new president has been in a position of both levering the details to congress and trying to force congress to come up with a compromise. that's a very tough task as we've seen. that's why they're now hoping they can get something together maybe by october or november. >> we'll get a big mott from just a bit. ann kornblut, thanks for sticking around. >> thank you. a record in london smashed by u2. >> the old record was 83,000 set by the foo fighters in 2003. it has a state that's increased the capacity for a sold-out shows. fans surround the stage, you can see the band from all angles.

mom, it's sunday. that's when i knew i couldn't wait. mom's doctor said these were signs of alzheimer's, a type of dementia, and that prescription aricept could help. he said it's the only treatment proven effective... for all stages of alzheimer's. studies showed aricept slows the progression... of alzheimer's symptoms. it improves cognition... and slows the decline of overall function. aricept is well tolerated but not for everyone. people at risk for stomach ulcers... or who take certain other medicines... should tell their doctors... because serious stomach problems... such as bleeding may get worse. some people may experience fainting. some people may have nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, bruising, or not sleep well. some people may have muscle cramps... or loss of appetite or may feel tired. in studies, these were usually mild and temporary. mom. talk to your doctor about aricept. don't wait. alzheimer's isn't waiting.

don't want to be cynical about it, but i think it's a great screening tool. >> yes. something that's lost in the phone conversation, you can't see their face. when you have a conversation over someone it's very similar so like what we're having down. >> you went out on a date date. >> she was wonderful, we had a wonderful dinner. that spark wasn't there, and you can't predict that until you see them in real life, but the readers had a great job. >> they said let's put the two of you together, had a nice dinner, and cest la vie. you what else is great about it? >> it's convenient, you don't have to wear pants. >> i don't believe you just said that. on dates you have to wear pants on the first date, that's what my mother taught me. just so you know.

why turn to skype for dating. is there something you think would be a natural progression with skype, or did you have to think about this? >> i mean, i buy my groceries online, i communicate with my friends online, why shouldn't i date? >> what about the people that think it's less personal? >> i think it's more personal than telephone call. it's not replacing daylighting, but it's just another tool. how about it for not the dating phase, but to perpetuate a relationship. >> it's a great way to connect with your loved one in a more intimate way. >> will you be doing more skype dating? >> definitely. >> let us know houses it goes. you're a nice boy, you need to find true love, so get on that. ryan dodge, he's so embarrassed. he's going, please shut up. the economy back on track as more jobs are lost. are we really moving away from a

brita-- better for the environment and your wallet. in a new radio interview, democratic congressman john murtha is casting doubt on the president's health care timeline, saying it's not clear there will be a bill before january. he also says lawmakers are telling nancy pelosi not to rush things. meanwhile, the president out west for another town hall later today, so who is winning the health care message war? i'm joined by pat buchanan, and chris kofinis, former edwards communication director. good morning. i'm cure -- give me that, your take on murtha's comments? >> i think it's serious. the break in the dike, he's very well known, a conservative

democrat from a conservative democratic district in pennsylvania, but if democrats start saying don't make us drink this cup after coming back from these meetings and town has, i think that's very bad news for obama. i mean, a lot of those democrats, their first priority, especially the moderates, is getting themselves reelected, and they'll all by in tough fights, because it's supposed to be something of a republican year, so this is a bad breach in the dike. >> your thoughts, chris? >> well, i mean, listen, with all due respect to congressman murtha, i think he's wrong about this. i don't think there's a chance it goes all the way to january. the basic principles of the health care rempl, i would say about 75%, 80% are probably already there. you know, some disagreements about how you pay for it in terms of the revenue generation, do you do it through a surtax, reducing the itemization for the top income earners, but the

basic tenets are there. i think we'll see a bill september, october, definitely this fall. i don't think there's a chance of next year. >> alex, i mean, what i said earlier, i believe it is imperative that the president and his staff get together and realize they're not going to get everything they want. this government option is in real trouble. if there's a big tax burden put on people that's going to inflame the situation. they've got to get together the components they think they can get, call it a health care bill, say we didn't get everything. as chris says, we got 60%, 70% of what we wanted, we'll come back for the rest, and move quickly in september. otherwise i think murtha is the beginning of a flood. >> but, chris, i want to ask you, when he said the president has to be prepared he won't get everything he want. but on politico there's a report

that a deal could -- would a bill without the public health care option still represent a victory for the democrats? do you think barack obama would be supportive of it? >> listen, i think it would be a victory in the sense it probably would be the most dramatic health care reform we've seen in decades. when you pass a law that will basically put a cap on out-of-pocket expenses, end discrimination against people with preexisting conditions, put a cap on deductibles, you're talking significant reform. in terms of the public option/co-op debate, i can see both sides. my only point is i kind of find it disingenuous to say the least among reps and democrats, to be honest. i don't see them arguing, for example, against medicare, medicaid, if they're so true to their principles and convictions, they should be out there saying, let's end funding for medicare/medicaid/veterans health care funding if they're

against public health care. so i think it depends on whether the president want to say, listen, it is co-op and the rest are dramatic significant health care reform. >> it's got to be quick, pat. >> well, look, the medicare battle was lost back in 1964 when i was writing editorials, we lost the panama canal debate also. that doesn't mean i want the panama canal back, chris. some of these battles have been decided. medicare is there, it's permanent, accepted, but that doesn't mean a federal takeover of the entire health care system, which the government option would lead to, is what america wants or needs or can afford. >> guys, hold -- >> that's where i disagree, it would not lead to that. >> hold your thoughts. i'll have you back next hour. thank you very much. no duking it out behind the scenes. the first family made time in montana for whitewater

rafting, and today they're touring national parks in wyoming. our chuck todd is traveling with the president. he'll be joins us with the live report, coming up shortly. we have new details in the midair crash. two controllers have been suspended for their behavior. the faa says one of the controllers was on a personal phone call at the time. the associated press says he was reportedly talking about a dead cat found on the grounds the teterboro airport. the supervisor wasn't present, because he had left to run an errand. here's what the head of the ntsb is saying about it. >> it is too early to speculate whether or not it was inappropriate and for others to do so. >> earlier i talked to a former investigator and asked him about

the suspension of the two air traffic controllers. >> i think under the circumstances right now they're still developing the facts, so putting them on administrative leave is an appropriate action until they can ferret out exactly what involvement the controller and supervisor would have had in this accident. so, yeah, i think under the circumstances, you know, letting them have time off until they get the facts squared away, yeah, i believe it is justified. >> a total of nine people died in that midair collision. federal regulators shut down colonial group on friday, that is the fifth largest bank failure in u.s. history. it was a major lender in real estate development and had $25 billion in assets. its deposits and branches will be taken over by north carolina-based bb & t. it's expected to cost the fdic fund $2.8 billion.

new questions today about the economy's recovery. new numbers show that consumer prices felt over the last year by 1950. more jobs were lost this week. the retail industry reported another bad month, and the number of foreclosed homes went up again. so are be really moving away from the recession? matt miller joins me right now. matt, i'm glad to have you talk with me about these details. what do you think? are we moving away from the recession? >> we watch cnbc every night at 8:00, and they have this segment called "the great recovery." i'm not jumping on that boat just yet. as you said, housing prices continue to fall, people are still losing jobs, they're just losing them slower. people are saving more, not spending much. there's a load of credit card debt on people's balance sheets. i don't think we really get out of this until late next year. there's a lot of stimulus dollars that still need to be spent. so a lot of that has to be pumped into the economy before it really comes up.

>> so give me good news here. what are the signs that we are coming out of a recession? >> good news is that the stock market is up 50% since its bottom in march. the stock market is a predictor of recovery, it is not a measure. it looks into the future and says companies will earn more in the future, and that's what that's telling you. will there be a correction later in the summer or in september or october? possibly we could probably lose a couple thousand points on the dow before we see it swing up, but the stock market is based on human emotion and human emotions are very fickle and can go bath and forth. >> they're fickle as well, because i'm not understanding how economists can say we have a jobless recovery. think about it. if you don't have a job, you're not going to spend money. if your neighbor doesn't have a job and you're maybe in the same industry, you're thinking it could happen to me. everybody, understandably is playing things close to the vest. >> as they should, but remember there's fear and there's greed and hope. until we get rid of a lot of the

fear that's still there. it was really bad last fall and early this year, and it's a bit better when it comes to people's fears. if you still fear you'll walk into work and things are still tight, you might not spend as much. this could pace itself well. you can't have the greatest recession since the great depression and not have people, you know, get scared. so it should be slow when it comes back out of this. we shouldn't fire ourselves back into the greedy days of 2006. >> i think that would be a long time coming. are there areas where job recovery is evident? >> yes, there are lots. what you have to focus on is the overall thing. you have to look at people seeing these jobless numbers coming out. if you watch certain shows, you can see that things -- it's slowing down. the fact is we're still losing jobs, we're still going to have 10% unemployment by the end of the year and a slow way out of

this thing. >> "forbes'" matt miller, thank you very much. three rock legends get together to talk about their love of guitars. that's coming up. he ran off with his secretary! she's 23 years old! - oh, come on. - enough! you get half and you get half.

own sound. >> i drive everyone crazy getting the sound in my head out on the speakers. >> the instrument's there as well, but who knows? >> i plan to trick both of these guys into teaching me all their tricks. >> it's going to be interesting. >> interesting indeed. joining me the producer/director, david guggenheim, also the director of "an inconvenient truth." >> good morning. >> matt miller, who just left my set, he had seen the movie last night and said it's awesome and it rocks, which of course you're going to get a lot of, but where did you get the idea for this movie? >> thomas tull is a producer here, and my partner and i tried to conceive a idea, and it's a continuous threat between these

great guitarists who use this guitar to express themselves. it becomes a soundtrack to all our lives, just incredible thing. >> i'm curious what it was like when they three icons, i mean, you know, unbelievable talents first got together. >> well, jack says, i'm in the car with him on the way over, he says, i don't know what will happen, fight a fist fight? they're very, very different. i was worried they wouldn't get along, and jimmy page picks up his les paul and then it's a throwdown, and becomes this competition of wills. >> well, in part of this film, the edge demonstrates what makes electric guitars stand apart from acoustics. let's listen to this. >> this is what i'm actually playing.

that's it. the rest is the foot pedal, the effects, the whole thing. you know, so if you're on a acoustic, listen to my cool rift, listen. >> was it a challenge to get these guys to up like this? >> that's the challenge of any documentary. it's really hard when you have rock stars that depend on this mystique. each one opens up. you see jimmy page air guitaring while he plays his favorite albums, this very reclusive, private man. it's very special, because they show us how they wrote his song. >> jimmy page is remembering just what got him interested in the electric guitar. let's listen to this. >> i had this record at home of

a get tear, a lot of sustain on it, and i got to come down and have a listen to it. you get that, and he went away and came back with this phenomenal thing. the distortion pedal, which overloads signal, overdrives the sound, and make it sound pretty rude. >> i'm told, david, you had a favorite moment with jimmy page, showing you all of his favorite records at home? >> you just saw in that clip, he invented the fuzz box to make the sound he was doing very, very dirty, and then he took -- i asked why? he took me to his home, hi record collection and played his favorite blues album. he said i wanted that sound. while he's listening to it, he starts playing air guitar. you think of all the boys that play air guitar to him, and now

in this movie he's playing air guitar for us. it's a special moment. >> it looks terrific for rock music fans, just for people enjoying documentaries like this are so informative. we thank you for bringing it to us "it might get loud." gu luck with that. we're going to go to break on this and show you more about the documentary. here it is. every day special. fancy feast introduces an entirely new way to celebrate any moment. fancy feast appetizers. simple high quality ingredients like wild alaskan salmon, white meat chicken, or seabass and shrimp in a delicate broth, prepared without by-products or fillers. new fancy feast appetizers.

michael vick is headed to philadelphia to play football after sirching a two-year deal with the eagles, but not everyone is happen about it. animal rights activists stood outside the stadium friday

night. he was convicted in 2007, but since his release, he's been working with the humane society to speak out against dog fighting. >> i made a horrible mistake and now want to be part of the solution, not the problem. i'm making conscious efforts in the community to work with the humane society. >> joining miss live from washington, d.c. is jean wong, nfl editor for ""the washington post." >> good morning. >> do you think he is truly remorseful for his actions? >> absolutely. i think if you talk to his eagles teammates and a lot of other players in the nfl clo to him, they will say the same thing. they say to the activists who don't want him around, what more would you have this man do? he served his legal time. now it's time for all of us to move on. >> as he said, he feels like he wants to help more dogs than he

ever hurt. that's the best way he can go become making some rep raise for what he did. it seemed german win to me, but what about the eagles overall? from a pro football perspective, good investment? >> it was -- i think it's a great investment. they actually need a backup quarterback. the backup quarterback now, before michael vick arrived, had hurt his leg, so it was a practical move for the eagles, but down the line, if he's allowed to play, remember he'll probably have to serve a suspension during the regular season, when he'll be back on the field it will be a good situation. >> there's often the perception, gene, that somehow athletes get treated better than regular folks? is this a case of that? if you're just out of jail, who else can find a big paying job like that? it's not easy. >> but it's all relative.

before this arrest, before hi legal troubles, had a contract worth $130 million. now his krth is one year with a option for a second year. that's a lot of money, but still compared to what he lost, it's not a lot of money. >> overall, you think he'll recover? he was well liked before, what do you think? >> i think he will. i think he's in a perfect situation, and that team has led to stability and that franchise, and he'll be playing with donovan mcnabb, and that will help him become a better play on and off the feel, because that's the kind of player donovan mcnabb is. still ahead, a mother tasered right in front of her children and she's getting ready to sue. you'll hear from her in our next hour.
