to $4500 towards a fuel-efficient car. auto sales in july are expected to be ep 16% from last month and likely to be down more than 10% last year. arguing the cash for clunkers program may provide only a short-term balance. >> they don't indicate a fundamental return of confidence and that will drive a return to normal sales levels. >> reporter: while dealers are predominantly happy and say the website keeps crashing and they have lingering concerns over

>> mr. secretary, thank you very much for taking the time. we appreciate it. if you are at home and you have a clunker, now is the time to get to the dealership, if you wonder if the rebates will be there, he said yes. make your sales. >> we will see what continues with that and there is new economic information that is giving people hope here. the latest economic numbers

people can point to that is paying off. maybe those will help him. the big question is what happens next quarter. >> we saw the numbers too and comparison down 10% since april. if there is maybe a little bit on the horizon that could help him, but we need to be cautious where is he losing the people that the numbers are dropping like this? >> he had a lot of trouble with the health care bill he tried to get through or trying to get through congress. both on the economy and health care people's worries are greater and they can't be convinced by the president and his ability to convince him, she known as a great communicator and the message is not getting through. a lot of people know this well. people are either out of work or worried they might be soon. that's a feeling that takes time for people to get rid of. on health care they are worried about how health care my change if there is reform.

there needs to be reform but they are afraid of it. >> 44% oppose when it comes to health care. they talk about the message. could the problem be it was overshadowed with the affair with professor gates? >> could be. that was well-covered. i think the problem with health care and the president's disconnect with the american people is that everybody feels like something needs to change in t health care system. they agree with the president's diagnosis and they don't agree with his cure. they are worried costs will go up and they will lose their insurance or maybe their doctor. he has not been able to make the sale on the key issues. >> a lot of questions that need firm answers for the american people. thanks. >> thank you. >> we'll get a look at the other headlines for you. david has a look at the other stories making news. >> there is good news for the president when it comes to health care. a committee cleared the way for

we are heading into the dog days of summer and we love to blast the air conditioner and get blasted with the huge electric bill. there ways you can stay cool without breaking the bank. crist sin there to show us how to save money this morning. good morning to you. how are you? >> good morning. how are you? >> let's start with the simple fixes. we have all seen and felt in the older homes, you put your hand on the outlets and the breeze is coming in and how do we save money there? >> especially in homes that are frame-built, it doesn't really secure all the cracks and crevices. this is a really easy fix. you are looking at 25 cents an outlet. you are looking at the foam insulator. they are easy to install them. you are looking here and put it on top of that outlet and then put the outlet cover on it. it's a simple fix. anybody can do it and it saves a

little bit on your energy bills. maybe $20 a year. >> that's $20 we didn't have when we started. that's great. when it's hot and sunny, the heat waves are coming through the windows and nobody wants to sit in the dark. what can you do on the windows to save energy there? >> of course we all want to enjoy the beautiful views in the summer when the sun is out, but you can get a lot of heat through the windows. if they are a single-59 or doesn't have glazing or a low film on them the heat and uv rays are coming in. a great fix and something simple that you can do yourself is installing a window film like this. this will reflect about 70% of the radient heat which is causing i lot of heat in the house. you can install this and still lets you have the light. with the windows that are on the southside of the house that get a lot of sun by doing that you

will save about $15 a window per year. you are looking at $100 a year in savings. that's significant. >> you recommend putting the dimmers on the lights. >> exactly. they have the hazard of mercury, so especially in table lamps like this keep the regular bulbs, but install a dimmer. it will cut cost by 25 to 30% and that's because you won't be using as much light. you have options there. dimmers are a good way to do it and save about $30 a year. >> we are saving money. let's talk about changing the fillers while you go to another part of the home. >> you know at that's a great idea. in fact the department of energy recommends up to once a month which is quite often, but any time the filters get clogged up

it can prevent the air from flowing freely. you will be using the ac a lot more and put more stress on it etc. >> let's talk about the insulation. it looks shot. have to replace that right? >> you know what this stuff is a mess and not covered either. you can see on the top and underside of the floorboards, you have a bit of mold moisture coming. when the insulation sits like this, it is not insulating. it's a good idea to replace it with something that has a higher r value and not just in the basement but also in attics. very, very important. we have more options now with insulation than just the traditional bat insulation. you have products like this. this is a spray foam insulation that fills in the cracks and crevices that will save you a lot of money. >> i have to get you to the last one. the air ducts, we have about 15

seconds. take me to the air ducts. >> these air ducts just like sealing them up get some that is certified up to high temperatures. these will probably be in the attic. you will save quite a bit of money. about $185 a year by sealing up the ducts. the last thing you want to do is condition the attic and crawlspace. >> let's total up the savings. in a typical home the average bill is $1900. the grand total of savings you saved us here this morning adds up to $490 a year almost 25% of the yearly cost. thank you so much. we appreciate your help. >> thanks, chris. >> thanks to home owners as well. let's go outside to you. >> another way to cool down how about a pear-ginger smoothie. four killer smoothies that won't bust the diet or the budget. you are watching "the early

$3500 savings. >> reporter: car dealers flooded the airwaves to lure would be buyers like bob through their doors. in all, an estimated 224,000 clunker trade ins took place in the first week of the program. some experts predict the sales for cash for clunkers will be short-lived. >> only so many people will qualify and the flurry will see the deals are done and there won't be anything to come in after that. >> reporter: that expert said only when consumer confidence improves will we see a return to normal auto sales in the country and many experts believe we are still a long way from that point. >> thanks so much this morning. the central terminal at la guardia here in new york has been evacuated. police investigate a possible bomb scare. airport officials say a suspect is in custody and a device has been uncovered.

it's unclear if the suspect was acting alone. it was a narrow victory for the president and a victory just the same. the commerce committee passed sweeping health care reform legislation. the 31-28 vote signals an impending showdown when congress returns from the august recess. on the senate side they say they need more time to come up with an agreement. michael jack's mother katherine has legal custody of his three children and wants to be named executor of his estate. it is set for a showdown in a county courtroom on monday as her legal team challenges the exec fors already named. ben tracy reports. >> when michael jackson wrote his will she wanted his mother to take care of his children. >> here worked hard to keep his family out of his business affairs. >> katherine jack wants a seat

at the business table becoming executor of his estate. they are publicly questioning whether the two executors can be trusted. both are long time jackson associates. >> it's a big concern to mrs. jackson and it's driving and fueling our legal efforts and her concerns. >> at stake is what could be a billion dollar empire. an attorney for the two executors said mrs. jackson is trying to rewrite her son's will and slowing revenue for the estate while the world is focused on michael jackson. cbs news, los angeles. >> it's about six after the hour. let's go over to erica. >> after six months in office, president obama is giving himself a report card. meeting with cabinet members who will continue to meet, they are reviewing performance thus far. we thought we would do the same and called in the best names in business.

we have a republican strategist and also in washington lanny davis, former special counsel to president clinton and columnist for the washington times and editor at large and senior political analyst for time magazine. good to have everybody with us. i will start with you. six months in how is this president doing? >> a for leadership and bringing change to washington in the most fundamental way possible. b plus in terms of actual performance given the problems he 4 on his plate and i rank probably a b minus for his ability to explain the health care proposal that is concentrating the country's attention. we still don't quite understand it because there so many proposals due to the strategy of going to the hill first and letting them develop the bill that had a good reason. i give a b minus in terms of explaining to the american people what this is all about. >> i guess your grades don't

matchup with lanny's. >> you are absolutely correct. look at what happened here. he quadrupled the deficit and failed to pass any major legislation on his key signature issues. he has passed the stimulus bill which is not stimulated. nationalized major industry and lost the trust of the american people. that's all in six months. i would say he has gone to class and i will give him a d. >> if we average the grades, this is a passes grade mark. we have the left and the right. they both make important points there. overall, is he doing a good job months in. >> i give him a b or b plus. my grade is closer to lanny's. most of what he accomplished so far and most of what he is trying to accomplish she doing largely with an inside game with democratic votes in congress. he lost republicans in washington.

republicans outside of washington and some independents. he is doing it with democratic votes, not the way he said but the reality of so far. >> occur he come back and win them back and the american people back. as key saw earlier, his approval rating is down 10%. >> down with people who he won over in maybe a burst of excitement after he was elected. some independent, some republican. i think they made a decision. they say out of necessity to go for the big things particularly health care and largely with democratic votes. he will never win over and the question is can he win over independents and can he get things done. take control of the economy and explain health care better and in a way that allows him to build programs and get them in place and prove to people they are working. >> he is probably never going to win you over 100%. is there something you would like to see the president improve upon that would maybe improve your vision of him? >> you know the key is that he

has to start listening to the american people and the agenda is not in line. i would like to see him get control over the spending and see what we can do about working americans. they need jobs and i don't see him focusing on that. bigger bigger spending. this man is single handedly revitalizing the republican party. he is going to make me thrilled through next november. >> those are strong statements. when you look at the president and what he is trying to accomplish, is he trying to do too much at once? would he do better to scale back to a couple of things? >> no i think rahm emanuel said you have to strike when the iron is hot. let me go back to the a rating that i think the harder parts would agree with. this is a really nice man with decent instincts who went up to the hill for the first time in my memory as a president and met with the republicans and reached

out to them. mark is right as he usually is. it is not successful but my a is for an inspirational nice guy who doesn't use politics as evil or demonizing opposition. he reaches out to people but he did the other night with professor gates and sergeant crowley. typical of bringing people together and he did bring a change in political tone to washington and that to me is where he gets an a. >> not everybody is agreeing with that. mark we should point out nice doesn't always work when you are president. it doesn't always pay off. some people think he is trying to please and talk to too many people. >> that are is his style and be his style no matter what. the fact is what he has done best of all, what i give him an a on is proving he can do the job in a time of crisis. they may not like his policy choices and he is spending a lot of money and taking risk but he

has proven for an inexperienced guy, can he do the job? the economic crisis is big and he has proven he has the stability and temperament to deal with it. >> i was in the reagan administration for a couple of years and again and again we were told the most you will accomplish is in the first six months when you have the american people behind you. you have to get what you can get. he has not done that. he hasn't gotten it. he talked about it but hasn't accomplish it and you cannot give him a high grade. >> he passed a lot of stuff. >> not on this show not by anybody. good to have you all with us this morning. >> time to check in with lonnie quinn who will give us a grade on the weather. >> i am. i think we are great on the weather today. it is just beautiful here in the g apple. speaking of beautiful, we have a birthday girl. what is your name? >> mira jeffries.
