the president can sing. welcome to "cbs this morning." we begin with breaking news in afghanistan where anti-american protests are spreading after the burning of muslim holy books by u.s. troops. >> the u.s. embassy and the capital of kabul is reportedly under lockdown at this hour. at least three people have been killed in today's protests. charlie d'agata is with us from london. good morning. >> good morning, erica. a u.s. military source tells cbs news demonstrators set fire to six fuel trucks outside the area where gentleman lal bad. all travel has been suspended there. meanwhile, they're struggling to get vie al water supplies into o the baghram base as it shows no signs of slowing down. protestors set fire to a compound that houses foreign contract workers in the capital one of several scenes where anger erupted into violence

again today. witnesses say police fired live rounds into crowds of demonstrators when they charged police lines. afghan officials say at least three people have been killed and more than two dozen wounded. thousands of protestors shouted death to america and death to afghan president hamid karzai. the u.s. embassy suspended all unnecessary travel for staff and urged u.s. citizens to avoid areas where westerners kong grate. it started yesterday after charred copies of the quran were found outside the baghram air base. it's gained pace today despite the apology from the top u.s. commander in afghanistan. >> i offered my sincere apologies to the president, the to the government of afghanistan, but most importantly to the people, the noble people of afghanistan. >> u.s. officials have warned that the demonstrations could continue for days. now, the head of security at the u.s. embassy told cbs news this morning, international workers

have been advised to restrict movements outside the embassy. local staff are ordered to go home. it's essentially in lockdown until further notice. >> charlie, thank you. we want to turn to the politics of gas prices. the average price for a gallon of regular is $3.59. that's up more than 20 cents in the last month and in some areas as many of you know, the prices are much higher. you can expect gas prices to come up at tonight's republican debate in arizona and as the candidates for that this evening. a new nationwide poll shows rick santorum leading mitt romney by 9 points. political correspondent jan trau ford is in phoenix this morning. jan, good morning. >> good morning, erica. there have been signs for the last several weeks that the economy is on the way back to a recovery. that of course, would be good news for the president in his reelection chances. the economy is an issue voters care most about. but, of course, that could rob all the republican candidates of an issue that they've been hammering the president for. with gas prices on the rise,

there's a new area of concern they're targeting and they're hammering the president for that too. >> why are gasoline prices so high? >> newt gingrich this week has made gas prices a centerpiece of his campaign. he's blaming barack obama and promising change. >> it is perfectly reasonable to try to get to somewhere between $2 and $2.50 a gallon. >> rick santorum also blames the president saying his decisions, like limiting oil exploration, have led to higher prices at the pump. >> because of the rad al environmentalist policies of this president. >> there's been some good news. unemployment, for example, rose through much of his term and down to 2009 levels. sips he took office, gas prices have been steadily on the rise. that's a challenge and a problem. >> rising gasoline prices have become a big political issue because it affects everybody

every week. >> that's why promising to lower gas prices is standard election fare. >> drill baby drill. >> it's entirely possible for us to get back to inexpensive energy. >> those republican and democratic administrations have taken fire on gas prices and they've had similar responses. it's not our fault. >> there are no magic solutions to rising oil prices and the pain that americans feel at the pump. >> energy economists say in the short term, the current price of gas has more do with world events than anything a politician can accomplish right away. >> the reality is that there's not a quick domestic fix. it's really what happens in the world market. and in this rising situation of tension with iran, that will determine it. >> now, with this of course an important issue for voters, you can expect that it will come up

with the debate tonight. the economy, the energy policies of the president, social issues. there's a very full plate and it's going to be a lot to watch. >> jan, if michigan is so crucial, how crucial is this debate for the results that we may see in michigan on the 28th? >> well, charlie, i mean, obviously, it seems like we've had a hundred of these debates since the campaign started. but this is one that could matter a lot because it's the first -- i mean, it's really the last debate between now and super tuesday. and the first debate since we've had the new front-runner, rick santorum shoot to the top of the pack taking over mitt romney. so there is a lot at stake for all these candidates, but especially for rick santorum. he's going to be in the center stage, he's the man people will be looking at, voters will want to see from him, is he presidential? that's the question he has to answer tonight. he's done very well in these debates up until this point. >> jan, thanks. this morning, president obama is proposing to overhaul the federal tax code for korpgs.

cutting tax rates and loopholes. chief white house correspondent norah o'donnell has been looking at the president's plan. what can you tell us so far about this plan? >> under the current tax system, the u.s. is soon going to have one. highest corporate tax rate in the world. that puts u.s. businesses and manufacturers at a disadvantage so the president today going to announce this overhaul, this this plan for reforming the corporate tax code, bringing down the rate currently at 35% to 28%. with a better rate for manufacturers. but the reason this comes today is because just two days from now, mitt romney is going to be unveiling his own economic speech in detroit. so make no mistake, the president's political advisers want an election year debate. not just about the corporate tax code system, but also the whole tax system in general. and so that's why they're setting up that debate this week for the president to make that, but there is little chance this year that this tax reform

proposal will make it through the congress because there's too much politics going on. >> norah, one question. when you factor in the deductions and the exemptions, will corporations play a slight increase in the amount of money they pay in taxes? >> they probably will, charlie. because the tresh i department is proposing a minimum tax on u.s. corporations so they have to pay something. in the end, though, the goal from the treasury department and they've been working on this proposal for a long time, in coordination with a lot of corporations who have long said that this corporate tax rate is outdated, it should be changed, it should be scrapped. it makes us uncompetitive. it should make the system simpler and fairer. >> norah, thank you very much. with us now jack welch, former ceo of electric and founder of the jack welch institute. good morning. >> good morning, charlie, how are you? >> what does it mean that the dow jones had the success it had yesterday and does it mean, in

fact, that the economic recovery is under way? >> well, it is a reflection of the better economic times that we have seen over the last five months or so. there's no question the economy is picking up. you've seen it in all the numbers. it's even moved in the last few weeks into the construction area where you're seeing a glimmer of hope where there hasn't been any light at all. >> because of housing? >> yes. >> when you look at what the president is proposing, you have been long time advocate of lower corporate taxes. is the president going in the right direction as far as you're concerned? >> clearly, he is. and this is the political season, as you know better than anybody else, and we're going to have dueling tax proposals and -- as long as they go in this direction, it's all good. there won't be anything done this year. >> speaking of taxes, i want you

to listen to this sound bite of governor christie on television last night. here it is. >> how many billionaires are there in new jersey? >> don't know the answer to that question. >> roughly? >> i really i have not a clue. how about this the top 1% of people in new jersey pay 41% of the income tax. >> are all the billionaires going to get 10% income tax reduction. >> everybody will get 10%. >> you know where i'm going. >> i don't understand where -- >> warren buffett is screaming to be taxed more. >> he should just write a check and shut up. >> do you agree with the governor or with warren buffett, there ought to be more tax. >> charlie, i pay over 30% every year. it depends where you come from. if you're in a corporation and you get a w-2 form, you pay 28 to 35%. if you're an investor, you get a different number. it depends on where we want to

go. i don't feel undertaxed in any way at all. >> but most of the people are in your economic bracket tell me they're prepared to pay more taxes if in fact, they could be sure where the money was going. >> well, i mean, that's an argument that people have and if we thought it would go to deficit reduction and not more silly programs, maybe that would be a good argument. >> what do you see as a crucial issue in the michigan debate between rick santorum and your candidate, mitt romney, the man you have supported? >> i think it's going to be -- it's going to depend on who has the best economic program, who, in fact, can can assure the american people that they're interested in jobs, creating a better economy, jobs for everybody, and i think the republicans have gotten a little bit off the jobs kick in the last two weeks whether it's the

media or their own methods. >> focusing on social issues. >> social issues, yeah. i don't think that's going to be constructive in in debate. >> could gas prices be a big issue for the president if in fact they continue to rise? >> well, the president's getting a bit of a break here, charlie, in that natural gas has dropped precipitously. it's now 2 1/2 dollars per million btu's. over 16 million homes in america are heated with natural gas. they're seeing a wonderful income break this year. but, of course, gasoline prices have always been a political hotbed, whether it's republican or democrat. and the republicans will use it to their advantage. if we see numbers over $4 across the spectrum. >> if rick santorum wins in michigan and becomes the nominee, can you support him?

>> i will support any republican nominee against the current incumbent. >> do you believe as speaker gingrich said yesterday on this program, that it's important in the interest of national security to beat president obama? >> no. that's something i'm not going there. i'm talking about the economy, about more jobs for more people, a better society. i'm all there. i'm not into the foreign policy issue. i think the president has done a reasonable job in foreign policy. in my opinion, it's been one of his strongest areas. >> but you believe in economic recovery reflected by the stock market may be under way? >> i mean, charlie, we have printed $7 trillion of money in the -- since 2007 around the world. in the last six months, there's

been 103 easings in financial policy to enhance growth. everyone is pumping, priming the pump. so this economy and the global economy is going to recover. greece, look what they started bailing out greece. so the economy is going to recover. there's no question. >> from florida, jack welch, thank you so much for joining us this morning. >> thanks, charlie. two more western reporters, one of them an american, died today covering the fighting in syria. american marie colvin and french photographer remi osleek were killed in the city of homs as syrian forces shelled the city. yesterday colvin reported for cnn on the unrelenting attacks. >> it's a complete and utter lie they're only going after terrorists. there are rockets, tank shells and aircraft being fired into the city. the syrian army is shelling

cold, starving civilians. >> activists inside homs say at least 19 people have been killed in today's attack. united nations says the latest nuclear talks with iran have failed. the u.n. nuclear inspection team arrived in vienna today following two days of talks. it was not allowed to visit a site where iran is believed to be working on nuclear weapons. in a statement today, the u.n. said, no agreement was reached on resolving the "possible military dimensions of the iranian program." he said his country does not seek nuclear weapons because they are useless, harmful and dangerous. in norcross, georgia, northeast of atlanta, five people are dead after a shooting spree at a day spa. police are calling it a murder-suicide. surveillance video reportedly shows a man walking into the spa getting into an argument with someone and then opening fire. >> upon arrival, we found

actually five people, it appears, are deceased inside this building. we've recovered one firearm. >> three men and two women were killed. no other suspects are believed to be involved. time to show you some of the morning headlines from around the globe. we've done several stories on shortages of cancer drugs putting patients at risk. now the new york times reports two of those drugs, methotrexate are being imported to take up the slack. the philadelphia enquirer sans johnson & johnson ceo is retiring. the company has gone through a series of embarrassing drug recalls. last week, it recalled 600,000 bottles of children's tylenol. girl scouts are protesting at the capital in indiana after the lawmaker accused them of supporting abortion, sex and gays. the fort wayne journal gazette says the speaker of the indiana house bought more than 200 boxes of girl scout cookies to hand

>> started out with pushing me into corners or up against the wall. i tried to walk myself in the bedroom and he would kick the door down. >> pushing led to punching says jessica. and the lee king adamantly denies nia bus charges, swres ka says there was more. a dire warning from her father-in-law. >> he looked me in my eyes and said that i know that you know. i will kill you. i will bloody kill you. >> do you feel he's a guy that will follow through on those threats? >> absolutely. >> on february 6th, jessica walked into a local police station and told detectives what she knew. the manhunt that had baffled english authorities for almost two decades. >> photographs of mr. maher and ms. brett are being sent to police forces across europe. >> was over. >> ending at this house in quiet ozark, missouri. 4400 miles from the crime scene.

>> the most interesting thing for me is when lee knew is one big question here. jessica says that he knew for a long time. this is the son of fast eddie maher. lee says that he just found out recently. so -- and the question is, what happens to lee then? when i spoke to him, he says he's in the process of being sent back to england along with his mother, as we mentioned fast eddie maher is still in jail, likely also he's going back to england to face charges there. >> what's surprising, where he ended up. somebody committed this crime would find an island in the caribbean and the pacific not the ozark. >> they flew to the u.s. after this happened 19 years ago, lived in at least five different states at the time. never made any friends with anyone, jessica says. never wanted their pictures taken. jessica says even at the wedding. they reluctantly agreed to have one or two pictures taken. they said away from people,

worked quiet. worked as a cable tv repairman and kept moving. >> not quiet enough. >> he declared bankruptcy at one point. >> good question, what happened to the money. he declared bankruptcy in 2010. jessica says any time they asked for money, they gave it to them. >> cash. >> they gave them money. >> he's now on the way back to england? >> presumably. he's still in this green county, missouri, jail. he will have a hearing today. not much will likely come out of that hearing. but then eventually, the presumption is that he will be sent back to england. >> they offered a reward in 1993. who gets the reward in. >> a very good question. because right now jessica says she's entitled to it. the 100,000 pounds was offered at the time by the armored car company. we don't know whether that was still in effect. the armored car company now merged with another company. jessica and her lawyers are in touch with that company. she says she turned him in, she

in today's "healthwatch," women and heart attack symptoms. a new study finds women are more likely to have a heart attack without chest pain. so they're less likely to get immediate treatment and they're more likely to die in the hospital especially when it comes to younger women. >> lour lori mosca is here from columbia medical center. i'm pleased to have her here this morning. what's the significance of this, especially for women? >> this is really important news for women because they need to be aware that the symptoms of a heart attack may be different than they might expect. it's not the classic hollywood heart attack. it occurs the less common symptoms occur more frequently in women than they do men. >> so what's the message for women? what should they do knowing this is the reality? >> the most important thing

women need do is be aware of what we call atypical symptoms of a heart attack are. when they're aware of the symptoms, they're more likely to take the appropriate action. this study was actually important because it linked not knowing what those symptoms were to having worse outcome. >> but we do know what some of the symptoms are. what are things to be aware of? >> important to be aware that lightheadedness for example, shortness of breath, pain in the upper body that can radiate to the neck, the back, the arms. indigestion, stomach upset. generally just breaking out into a sweat. and the other thing that a lot of women aren't aware of, overwhelming fatigue is a symptom of a heart attack. >> these are all things that are tough for women to grab on to. we talk about how women treat themselves last. are they also using the right terms when they see the doctor? what are things we should be saying to pay attention to the symptoms in the right way. >> that's an important area, erica.

women also with diabetes tend to have different symptoms and women may have more diabetes than men. that may influence how they experience chest pain. >> you're engaged in preventative heart care, main thing is don't smoke, watch your diet. what else? >> absolutely important. the three most important things are lifestyle, lifestyle, lifestyle. as you point out x don't smoke, eat a better diet. importantly, get up and move. regular physical activity. these two things, nutrition and exercise affect one of the most common risk factors for having a heart attack. that is being overweight. we need to maintain a healthy weight. very important in preventing heart disease. >> thank you. >> my pleasure. another sensitive medical issue is a political football. find out what one candidate says about prenatal testing. we'll look at a change that could change so much for pregnant women and expectant families in general. you're watching "cbs this

lying in 2007 when he said he had earned the medal of honor, the nation's highest military award. today the supreme court will hear arguments over whether that lie was a crime. the medal of honor is bestowed on only a few. and doug sterner a vietnam veteran and two time recipient of the bronze star wants it to stay that way. sterner is on a mission. from his virginia home, he pokes he ises about people who lie about honors they receive. >> in your experience, what motivates people who do this? >> it can be anything from trying to pick up a good looking woman in a bar with your fascinating military history to trying to get elected to political office. >> xavier alvarez is one of those who tried to get away with it. in 2007 while serving on a local government board in california, he told an audience he had been in the marines for 25 years and received the medal of honor. a complete fabrication.

alvarez was charged and convicted under a 2006 federal law that makes lying about military honors a crime. he's appealing to the supreme court arguing the law violates his right to free speech. civil liberties advocates agree. >> people have to feel they can speak without being criminally punished. we don't need to start to criminalize all things that the government declares to be lies. >> according to court documents, 45 people have been prosecuted under stolen valor. >> i was trained 18 months of that crap. >> jesse macbeth was sentenced to five months in prison after claiming he received the purple heart for service in iraq. turns out, he never made it out of army basic training. >> it's wrong. ethically it's wrorng. >> leo thorsness received the medal of honor for his heroic actions in vietnam where he spent six years as a prisoner of war. he says those who lie about

it's easy to see what why she's a the love of her mother's life. >> i almost lost out on the best thing in my life. >> midway through her second trimester, melanie mclaughlin and her husband discovered their baby would be born with down syndrome. stunned and what it would mean to their future, they considered ending the pregnancy. >> this is definitely the most difficult decision i have ever had in my life. i think i already loved the baby. i couldn't do it. i couldn't terminate. and that's just where i was at. i had to -- i had to look at my husband and say i can't terminate this pregnancy. >> that early diagnosis helped them prepare for the challenges that would come after birth. getting the news involved some risk. melanie had a procedure called amniocentesis. it removes a small amount of fluid identifying several genetic disorders but can also result in miscarriage.

>> recent advancements in genetics helped doctors develop a safer test for down syndrome. it can be administered at ten weeks and at nearly 100% accurate. the test, maternity 21, analyzes the mother's blood and counts fragments from the dna to detect the presence of an extra chromosome significant mi fieing downs. according to geneticist at children's hospital boston, this is the beginning of a new era of prenatal screening. >> there's no risk to the fetus. a simple blood drop from your arm. this raises a provocative question of how much do we test for and do we as a society draw the line? >> ex peck tants parents are routinely offered prenatal testing for various genetic disorders. not just down's syndrome. decisions which could become more difficult. >> if it's not for down's syndrome, is it for homosexuality, is it for breast cancer, alzheimer's, autism?

you're going to need to ask those questions. they're coming. >> the last four years have been anything but easy for the mclaughlins. they never want to imagine life without grace. >> grace is amazing. >> grace is very cute too. dr. paul root wolpe is joining us now from atlanta. welcome doctor. >> good morning. >> good morning. it's my understanding that unlike amniocentesis, the test that we're familiar with, this latest test allows you to do it so much earlier before the pregnancy is visible to others. my question is what's the impact, do you think, on that in. >> well, the fact that it's earlier simply means that mothers are going to be challenged with this decision earlier in their pregnancies and if they choose to terminate the pregnancy, it will be less complicated procedure. notice that melanie said that she had to face a very tough decision. i think more and more women are going to be facing tough

decisions as this test and similar tests are developed. >> the research shows that for most women over 90%, given the option, if they know they're having a baby down's, would make the decision to have an abortion. do you think that this could lead to a world without down's syndrome kids? >> well, first of all, i'm not sure that's high. that was one study from the uk. the statistics may be lower in the united states. but i don't think so. first of all, some women will not get the test, other women choose as melanie did, not to abort. even though they have the information. so i don't think that we're going to end up at least in the foreseeable future in a world without kids with down's syndrome and many parents, i think actually take the path that melanie took and, like melanie, end up very glad they did. >> a lot of parents, too, will choose not even to have the tests. you're presented with this barrage of tests when you're pregnant that are options for

you. as an ethicist, when you look at the questions and the tests coming, there's talk of how really you can tell the sex of a baby, choosing eye color, how does that lead to the decision to actually present these tests to expectant mothers? >> first of all, things like choosing eye color, choosing gender, that happens much more often in in vitro fertilization when you have a dish with embryos and you can decide which to implant. it doesn't happen at least at this point in terms of aborting a child. the kind of tests that we do in pregnant women, prenatally tend to be disease-oriented tests. then parents are faced with a challenge. should they actually maintain the pregnancy in the face of sometimes devastating disabilities in their children. i think that that's a decision that each couple, each mother, each parent needs to make individually. >> the case that some people make for having the tests too

and knowing that is that once the child is born, it makes it easier because they know what's ahead of them. is that a legitimate point that's being made, do you think? does it make it easier, in fact, to deal with what comes with a birth of a child who may have some sort of an abnormality? >> i think it's clear that knowing that your child is going to need special care of some kind allows parents to plan for that early on. and down's syndrome, the special care may not be particularly complex. but in some of these conditions, you may actually need to set up things like ventilators and other kinds of home care if you plan to take that child home. >> i always think, too, doctor, you really don't know what you're going to do until you're in the position. i'll tell you, i have friends who have children with down's syndrome and to a person, everybody says, it has enhanced my life for the better. i don't know anybody who has had a down's syndrome child who has

any regrets about that once the baby is born. >> i think that that's true. on the other hand, you know, it is an enormous commitment for parents to raise a child with special needs. i think what we have decided in this society at least for now, is that parents need to make those decisions. you know, we can advocate for certain kinds of decisions, we can suggest that, with particular kinds of conditions, parents need to think very carefully and long about how they want to handle it. but i think that the decision has to remain with the parents. >> as you point out, only a parent can make at that decision and you only know what's right in the moment. we'll be back with more. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

how many billionaires are there in new jersey? don't know the answer to that question. >> roufly? >> i have not a clue.

the top 1% of new jersey paid 41% of the income tax. >> are all the billionaires in new jersey going to get 10% income tax reduction. >> everybody will get 10%. >> you know where i'm going with that. >> i understand -- ten years after 9/11 america is still under threat. however, russ feingold believes the threat is not just from america's enemies. it's from ourselves. >> the former democratic senator's best known for his work on campaign finance reform. he offers a roadmap for the next ten years in his new book "while america sleeps" a wakeup call for the post 9/11 era. senator, welcome. good to have you here. >> good morning. >> what is it we need to know and what do we need to learn as we look ahead? >> i think we all remember, we were completely shocked on 9/11. i don't need to tell the people around here that. i think we all said, we need to make sure that we never forget about what's going on in the rest of the world. we made some terrible missteps with regard to iraq and sort of invading country by country. not taking a global view of the world.

now it seems to me, we've taken the attitude that bin laden is gone and sure am glad that's gone. that's not the reality. the reality is we need a better connection and understanding to the rest of the world. people in government. also all of us as individuals. the country seems to know more about us -- >> he worries about america's understanding of foreign policy. >> exactly. i mean, winston churchill, the reason i call the book "while america sleeps" he wrote a book called while england slept. >> this was jack kennedy. >> kennedy wrote a book responding to that. he said to the british people in the floor of the house of commons, do you understand what's going on in germany? do you understand the buildup over there? and he said, we're used to being an island nation speaking of england. we're sort of used to being in effect an island nation having the seas on each side. woe we know that's not going to work.

with the globalization of the economy an the internet and all the things that happened, we'll never be able to sit here and wait for things to be done to us. my belief is we don't know enough about the rest of the world. we mock our politicians if they know something about the rest of the world. gingrich ran an ad attacking romney for knowing french. i don't think it's a bad thing for somebody to be able to communicate overseas. gingrich said several days ago that he worries about america's national security if barack obama is re-elected. you stepped forward to say, i worry about america's security if republicans are elected. is this the rhetoric we should be having? >> i think the rhetoric should be about the fact that this is an area where we can work together much the republican field is choosing only those things that talk about a foreign policy where they think they can hurt the president. they think in iran that's the way to go. what about what he's done? the president has been terrific in terms of reaching out to the islamic and muslim world, to the

cairo speech, indonesia, india. no more osama bin laden, no morale awlaki. he's provided a better -- than i think any president. that's a good thing. turning to a guy who like gingrich who is hostile to the world would be a step backwards. >> i wonder what's happening to us in terms of a country, the snarkiness. and meanness. what newt gingrich said the other day on the program. you were in the senate for a long time and just left last year. when did it become so difficult and so nasty? you were there when it was good. we were really getting along and now when we can't seem to get together. >> there's always partisanship but you're right, things went downhill in the early '90s. as the tea party rose. they didn't want to talk about certain things, at the they wanted to blame obama for everything five minutes after he

was president. they wanted to rule out talking about foreign policy. herman cain was the ultimate example. uz becky, becky, stand stan stan and made fun of it. it's just to the north of pakistan, afghanistan. it's an important country. we shouldn't make fun of it. we should understand it and all americans should be part of trying to understand what's going on in the rest of the world. >> let me look at the general election coming up. david brooks wrote a column saying where are the liberals. he suggested the following. that most people in america agree with the liberal understanding of the issues. but at the same time, they disagreed with the instrument of change which is government. >> well, i think most americans realize if you completely abandon any role of government at all if you have difficulties, that's a mistake. it has to be a partnership between the private sector and when you need government, you have to use it. i think the president was right to propose a stimulus package. the truth is, we've had positive

job growth for almost two years and they've jumped all over him and said it was a disaster before it started. frankly, i've never seen a president treated this way. here's a guy elected by a big margin and they tried to destroy his administration from the beginning. we never did that to george bush. he didn't really necessarily win that election and ee didn't do that to him. yet, president obama is coming through this domestically and internationally in a way -- >> but you've been critical on the president two instances, guantanamo and second you've been critical over the fact that he is going to a super pac because he says he needs to do that. >> that's exactly the kind of president he is. he has asked me to be one of his co-chairs of his campaign. i gladly accepted even though i have criticized him. >> do you want him to reverse his position -- >> absolutely not. i said it, it's a mistake. i think it's no harder for him to win without that money. we'll end up as corporate democrats that do trade a dpreemts and allowing wall

street do what it wants. here's a guy that encourages people to disagree him. i agree with him 95% of the issues but not the super pac. >> you call him a centrist or liberal? >> i don't want to label him. he's capable and he has a vision for the world. i don't think the label means anything. i think he's a good president. i think he's going to be a great president by the time it's over snoomt thank you for coming, senator. good to see you. >> really good to see you. >> president obama was belting out a little blues last night. mick jagger and b.b. king were his backup singers. we're going out to the white house after the break. ,,,,,,,,,,

jagger is handing you the microphone? >> absolutely not. the president did say, it's hard to get out when you're president and it is. but he said, of course, when you're president you can have some guys over to just jam at home. >> nice collection of guys you just have over, too. works out pretty well. >> one of the side benefits of being president. you can invite them over to come in the white house and make it the house of blues. >> absolutely. >> i was also impressed with henson's introduction to mick jagger. she was very enthusiastic in introducing mick to the stage. >> she sure was. >> mick, after all these years. it goes to show you that age really is a number. doesn't he look fantastic? >> he looks like mick usinger. >> he does. >> moves like mick jagger. >> fair enough, bill. up next your local news. we'll see you tomorrow right here at this table on "cbs this we'll see you tomorrow right here at this table on "cbs this morning." -- captions by vitac -- www.vitac.com
