romney... aimed at president obama during a recent speech... over national security.dana bash reports on the two things romney claims the current administration isn't doing... when it comes to foreign affairs. affairs. --reporter pkg-as follows -- "this conduct is contemptible. it betrays our national interest." foreign policy is not a top priority for voters this year, so mitt romney decided to pummel the president on an issue they do care about. trust and credibility. "exactly who in the white house betrayed these secrets?" romney used his speech to the veterans of foreign wars convention to blast the president for a series of national security leaks romney said were politically driven to help the president...hanging his stepped-up attacks on new comments from the democratic senate intelligence chairwoman diane feinstein. "i think the white house has to understand that some of this is coming from its ranks." "did a superior authorize it? these are things that americans are entitled to know - and they
5:21 am
are entitled to know it now. if the president believes - as he said last week - that the buck stops with him, then he owes all americans a full and prompt accounting of the facts. the time for stonewalling is over." that's the kick. now the kicker ... "what kind of white house would reveal classified material for political gain? i'll tell you right now: mine will not." feinstein later issued a statement saying she's disturbed her remarks are being used to impugn president obama. romney also served up a big crowd pleaser for this audience of veterans: warning against some 50 billion in budget cuts to defense next year. "we are just months away from an arbitrary, across-the-board budget reduction that would saddle the military with a trillion dollars in cuts, severely shrink our force structure, and impair our ability to meet and deter threats. don't bother, by the way, trying to find a serious
5:22 am
military rationale behind any of that, unless that rationale is wishful thinking. strategy is not driving president obama's massive defense cuts." despite romney's aim at the president, the reality is those cuts were not simply a presidential strategy. they come from a debt reduction compromise romney's fellow republicans voted for. "did we get 100 percent of the discretionary cuts we were looking for? no, we got 2/3rds, that's better than zero." 175 house republicans, 72% of them, voted for 110 billion dollars in spending cuts - half of which come from defense. in the senate, more than half of republican senators, 29, voted for the cuts. "this foreign policy speech was meant for romney to pivot to the world stage as he gets ready for a trip to europe and israel. he was very, very tough on the president when it comes to israel saying that he treats the country in a quote shabby way - and was also interesting on two other hot spots in the world. on iran, he was more clear than before in saying

that he would demand nothing short of a full suspension of uranium. and on afghanistan, he said that if he were president, he would transition to afghan security forces by 2014. dana bash, cnn, reno, nevada." public opinion polls show more public support for obama on foreign policy. romney's leaves later this week for his trip to visit key u-s allies england, israel and poland. a georgia man spends the weekend in the hospital..after letting his friends... set him on fire! fire!the injuries he was treated for...and if charges will be filed. filed.and...is your home value rising?the cities that are bouncing back from the housing slump... next.

3 --reporter pkg-as follows -- home values took a serious hit during the recession, but the worst may be over. home prices grew point-2-percent in the second quarter, compared to the same time last year. it may be a small increase, but this is the first positive move in five years. zillow, the real estate website that crunched the numbers says home prices seem to have hit bottom. that isn't a bad thing. the market needs to hit bottom before it can recover. but the growth isn't spread equally across the country. in most of the cities surveyed by zillow, prices have dropped over the past year. the biggest decline was in chicago, where the average home lost nearly six-percent of its value. but there are some big gains offsetting those losses, and skewing the overall number higher. for example, home prices in phoenix have grown twelve-percent. and in miami, prices are up more than 6- percent. but these are cities hit hardest by the housing crisis, so the bigger the hit, the bigger the recovery. however, even with the growth, home prices nationwide are lower than they were before
