happy friday. welcome to "the early show." squully clen is in h.a. for her last day before maternity leave. are you excited, jewels? >> i am. ready just to rest and put my feet up a little bit. >> there you go. >> but we've got a very exciting story out of here the golfer that you just saw who made that hole in one, you'll hear directly from him about this once 1/2 life time sht that he made that turned him and his wife into medical i don't know theirs. he manages a restaurant and i'll tell you why he says he's not going to give that up job. >> look at those smiles. >> i'd say so. good story. also coming up being you heard all about the head hines yesterday, scrapping the missile defense system in eastern europe and all the controversy that's about. we'll do this in a one-on-one, we'll get the maps out, show you why people are so sort of concerned about this. and we'll tell you what you it's all about it break it down into simple nuts and bolts. also ahead this morning, it's a sad day for fans of the

guiding"guiding light"." the longest running broadcast in history goes off the air today after 72 years on the air. we have two of the stars on this morning to honor this great one of a kind soap opera. but first, president obama is embarking on a full out media blitz for health care reform this weaken and he's getting some help from a very familiar face. cbs news senior white house koerpt bill plante explains. >> morning. >> reporter: good morning. the president does have a new partner in his nonstop effort to sell health care. it's the first lady. you might ask like hillary clinton? well, no that's not exactly what the white house has in mind. michelle obama will be more like a stealth weapon in the battle for health care giving it a softer touch as she did at this farmer's market near the white house thursday. >> it has truly inspired me and the white house staff to look for opportunities to put the topic of healthy eating right on the table and at the forefront of health care discussions.

>> reporter: with a favorable rating of around 70%, well before her husband's, and the back ground of a hospital executive, michelle obama will counter balance her husband's hard sell. >> they feel like she can give a different voice because as you can see, a lot of the folks are very partisan. >> reporter: the first lady's debut coincides with the president's media blitz this weekend. he's pushing health care refor him, five talk shows this sunday. that will be a presidential first. adding to the 66 tv appearances and 157 speeches in which he's already campaigned for reform. political scientist larry saba toe said the media blis makes sense. >> it is a fractured media environment and presidents like everyone else have a difficult time piercing the public consciousness. >> reporter: but is the president running the risk of over exposure? >> common sense would tell that you if a president is on all the time if it's all obama all the time, then probably people will tune out some of the message. >> reporter: and some of them

will never even see it. the president is skipping fox news this coming sunday. but even if about some people do tune out, the white house figures the president is the best salesman, they'll keep hip out there, keep him at it and we'll see what p has. maggie? >> bill plante thank you. one of the programs the president will appear on this sunday is "face the nation" which of course is moderated by bob schieffer. good amongmorning, bob. i'd like to start by asking but the president's new weapon his wife. i immediately thought back to hillary clinton, but it is different in that back then mrs. clinton was really spearheading the effort. what do you think mrs. obama's role should be here somehow could she be an asset? >> well people like her. every poll shows that. and i think president's wives can kind of soften the debate, take the hard edge off of it. is she going to make a big difference, shall she going to be the one that tips the balance toward health care? i think the answer to that is

no. but i think the other part of it is she's very likeable people like to see her, and like chicken soup i think it can't hurt. >> exactly right. what about the president's media blitz? he gets criticized for going on tv and going on the radio too much but the latest poll thumbs show when he gave the speech to the joint session it did stop the slide a little bit p disapproval on his efforts on this. now it's at 48% in favor of the way he's handling this. do you think this is a good thing? >> well, he goes back to what bill plante just said. the administration is convinced he really is the best salesman that they have and they want to put him out there. they think he can sell it if anyone can sell it. the other part is, maggie he hasn't made the sale yet. even though the polls showed a little more favor ability after the speech a majority of people are still worried about that it will cost more especially to

the middle class. they're not convinced that it's going to do what he keeps arguing that it's going to do. so maybe he's been out there too mu, maybe he hasn't but there's still some selling to be done if he's going to get something here. >> and maybe he has to change the pitch a little bit. we'll see. >> yep. >> all right, bob schieffer, thank you for your time. motive is the big mystery in the murder of yale student annie le. and we're hearing more this morning about accused murderer raymond clark as well as some grim new details surrounding the case. cbs news koerptu sews correspondent ran doledall pinkston is in new haven for us. >> reporter: raymond clark woke up this morning some a high security prison about an hour north of here. he was arrested yesterday in the death of 24-year-old annie le. clark was picked up at a motel where he spent his last night before his arrest dining on

pizza. appearing disshoveled and disillusioned, raymond clark entered court yesterday to be arraigned on murder charges. >> you understood those rights in. >> yes, sir. >> reporter: clark barely uttered a word. his newly appointed attorneys requested that bail be reduced, but the judge disagreed, sgribing the case as very serious. he remanlded clark to prison and kept the bail at $3 million. >> and that is so ordered. >> reporter: new details are also emerging about the man authorities believe savagely strangled annie le before stuffing her body behind a wall. the evidence found in the ceiling and crawl space where the bed was discovered contained her dna and clark's. today's new york daily news says clark's lab boots have le's blood on them and that he may have dropped his signature green pen into a crevice, had then brought fishing hooks and wire to work, possibly to retrieve the pen. >> this is not about university crime, it's not about domestic crime, but an issue of workplace

violence. >> reporter: as for motive, some believe clark may have gotten into a dispute with le over laboratory procedures. as an animal technician clark cleaned the cages an fed the animals that le and other researchers used. there are reports that clark september a text or e-mail message to le requesting a meeting to discuss cleanliness of the cages. and it appears lab workers like clark were continually reprimanded le and other researchers about lab rules. >> most of the animal facilities people were known for reprimanding the investigators. >> reporter: this yale medical student who requested we disguise her identity worked in the lab with clark just two days before annie le's body was found. >> they definitely felt that they were in charge of enforcing those rules. if you weren't wearing shoe covers in the hallway, they would tell you to put on shoe covers or sometimes yell at the

researchers. >> reporter: there's a report that character may have had help hiding annie le's body in the basement of this building. a local tv staegs reporting that police are interrogating another employee in the lab. julie? >> randall pinkston thanks. and in just a bit, we'll talk to cbs news legal analyst lisa bloom to help break down the case against raymond clark. but first,rous mitchell is off. let's go to chris wragge. good morning. in spite of a global push to produce vaccine for the h1n1 flu, the world health organization said this morning there won't be enough to go around. officials in gentleman me have a say production of the vaccine will be, quote, substantially less this year than previous estimates of 4.9 billion doses. in iran, clashes at a rally. at least ten people were arrested. meanwhile, president ahmadinejad delivered a speech saying the

on on $3 million bond. he appeared here in new haven yesterday in court for arraignment. it's standard procedure that he not enter a guilty plea and we're also told that he is not cooperating with authorities, invoking his fifth amendment rights. one law enforcement source says police are looking in to whether le's murder grew out of a dispute where they work both. clark is described by lab researchers as having a bad temper and had been known to explode at them. we know that investigation get a tors have been questioning a number of people including other lab workers, at the lab where clark worked. his brother-in-law and sister also worked. and we know that the university has rescinded their ability to enter this building. maggie? >> randall pinkston in new haven, thanks. lisa bloom is in los angeles to talk more about this case. good morning, lisa. >> good morning. >> there appears to be such a strong physical case against mr. character and it seems like every day we're hearing of more

evidence. today supposedly a text message requesting a meeting. blood evidence on his boots. a green pen which he apparently always used found at the scene. his swipe card showing that they were together for an hour. is this enough to build a case? because they still don't have that motive. >> absolutely. prosecutors do not have to prove motive. it's not an element of murder or any homicide crime. sure they'd like to have it because a jury is always going to be curious as to what the motive is, but when there's a mountain of physical evidence which sounds like what we're gathering here now, they certainly don't need to have motive. it could have simply been that this defendant flew into a rage over a workplace dispute, key have been a jilted would be lover. we may know the actual reason. but when we have her dna on his boots that have his name on it his green pen at the crime scene, when we have his dna on her body and her clothing that would be sufficient to convict him beyond a reasonable doubt. >> investigators have made it a point to say that this was a

case of workplace violence but it's not traditionally what we think of when we think of workplace violence. >> it sure isn't. workplace violence is ordinarily a disgruntled employee who has been fired, comes back with a gun and starts shooting goes after a supervisor in particular. this is a very intimate kind of murder. this poor woman was advantage gelled to death. that means that his hands would have lad to have her on her neck for the two to five minutes it takes to kill somebody. she would have been kicking, fighting scratching, doing anything to try to safe her life. there are reports that he had scratch marks on his chest and on his arms. it sounds like a very intimate kind of killing, a male attacking a female it sounds to me like a jilted would be lover kind of a case. but you never know. there are a lot of strange stories. it's possible this is really just over workplace dispute. >> and what about the reports this morning that he may have had help hiding the body if in fact they track down a person who helped him, that person could be a big witness for the prosecution. >> absolutely.

and that person is an and he can saysry to murder if that person actually exists and somebody helped help hide the body. that is really appalling, that is surprising and unusual kind of information. usually this is a sole kill areer kind of situation. hard to fathom how somebody could help him if in fact that's true. >> this whole thing is hard to fathom. >> certainly is. >> lisa bloom, thanks for your time. now let's check in again with dave. he's outside to tell us about the weather. and on cue, i should say and on cue with just a two or three second delay the crowd's adulation comes out. nice to see you. we have a good bunch of our friends, german americans here for the steuben parade. let's take a check of the weather and meet other fine folks out here on the plaza at

8:00. the soggy weather continues. another cup heouple inches falling in jackson, ten p see, over to montgomery alabama, some to georgia. watch for flash flooding and again those heavy downpours on very saturated ground. northeast and midwest looking great. kind of the same story from yesterday. strong downpours possible, the cold front advances in and through the northwest. temperatures in the 60s and high heat in the desert southwest going to continue to next week where you could see some records set. we'll continue to watch that. that's a quick look at the national maps. here in our area we're looking at temperatures getting up to about 80 degrees today. we're looking at a very nice stretch, basically what we're going to be seeing is clouds out there now breaking. we'll see a shift in the direction of the wind. those two together along with the sun will warm us to 80 degrees. mainly clear tonight, otherwise a little cloudy in the early morning hours tomorrow, and then we're looking at partly cloudy conditions, but still

pretty warm. 74 degrees our daytime high back down to 51 so high heat in the desert southwest. and again we're waiting for next week for some contraction in those temperatures. julie? >> oh, dave, i'm going to let that one slide. coming up, move over tiger woods. you'll meet the golfer who sang a hole in one and hit the jackpot. this is "the early show" on cbs. we had a mouse. what? where? don't freak. it's gone. how? who did it? i did. with one of these. this is a mouse trap? yeah. it's a new kind of mouse trap from ortho. home defense max. it's guaranteed to kill the mouse. you just push down this little lever right here... ...and it does the rest. nothing to see. nothing to touch. you just throw it away. no mess. no drama. we could do without drama. excuse me?

last season, she gave up a baby on the show, and then she had to be around the baby. it was just a really sort of gut wrenching, but very restrained performance. >> we'll see what happens on sunday night. best actor in a drama series bryan cranston michael c. hall hugh laurie gabe wree he will birn jon hamm simon baker. who will win? >> hugh laurie. believe it or not, hugh has never won an emmy. people think he has. he's picked up a bunch of golden globes but he's never won for this. and he is that show. and it's shocking to me i really feel like this year voters will give him his due. >> but in your opinion, who should win? >> bryan cranston. he won last year for breaking bad. surprised a lot of people. but season two was even better than season one. he will be tough to beat. >> best actor in a comedy

series. alec baldwin, tony jim par son, jim carell charlie sheen jermaine clement. who will win? >> jim parsons for big bank theory. and it's a little wishful think to go my part because i love that character. and it's such -- i'm so spite that had he actually got nominated. a lot of times newcomers don't get nominated and young people don't break through, but he's a sentimental favorite and i really think voters will give to him. >> and should he win some. >> yes, he should. he should and will. >> best actress in a comedy series. tina fey christina applegate, julia louis-dreyfus, sarah silverman, mary louise parker tony colette. who will take it home? >> tina fey. people have a love affair with 30 rock and it shows no sign of abating. tina already picked up an emmy for her impersonation of sarah

palin and i just would not bet against tina fey right now. >> and you think she should win? >> will and should. 30 rock was great last season. she was great in it. the episode she submitted involved a flashback to her high school days. hysterical stuff. i just complaint see her not winning. >> and in the final second best reality show. it's always ben amazing race. they're up again. it would be seven out of seven. >> do you think i'm going to vote against or bet against amazing race? i mean it's like every year this is going to be weird if they don't win and then they win. it's insane. i feel bad for the "american idol" folks. they're like it's our turn. >> and for the record we were robbed again for big brother not getting a nomination. we'll talk about that the next time. good to see you. and you can see the 61st annual emmy awards on sunday night at 8:00 7:00 central. then on monday morning, maggie will join mary hart on the set
