8:12 am
in that role would not be tired at this point, especially, i get tired flying up to new york from d.c. so that schedule has got to be exhausting. that's who she is. she works hard and she does a good job at what she does. >> she's been the secretary of state. she has been a senator, she has been the first lady. what's next? >> well, look, i don't know what's next. i don't think anyone really knows what's next. i do know that she would be great at whatever it is she does do next. there's a lot of people out there who think she may, after she leaves public life, head into some sort of international foundation work, maybe working with her husband at the clinton foundation or setting up her own thing. she's been obviously for many, many years out front on the issue of international women's rights. she's, as you talked about in the piece, focusing on economic good morning.

♪ welcome back to "cbs this morning saturday." i'm nancy cordes. >> i'm anthony mason. we've got a lot to get to this morning. let's get to the top story. >> the top story this half hour. the mystery of what happened to congressman jesse jackson jr. his mother spoke out for the first time yesterday saying her son has dealt with enormous disappointment and needs time to heal. jackson's office said earlier this week, the chicago democrat has been an medical leave for a mood disorder. jay levine of wbbm tv in chicago has more. >> for congressman jesse jackson, the future was bright. he had considered running for mayor in chicago. then president-elect barack obama's senate seat. before allegations surfaced that one of his fundraisers tried to buy it for him. >> i never sent a message or an emissary to the governor to make an offer, to plead my case or to
8:17 am
propose a deal about a u.s. senate seat, period. >> jackson was never charged in the case, which brought down illinois governor rod blagojevich. but it did trigger a continuing house ethics investigation. a statement on june 25th announced jackson was taking a leave of absence for exhaustion. on july 5th, his office said his condition was more serious than we thought. woe receive extended inpatient treatment. less than a week later, they announced he was being treated for an unspecified mood disorder at an unidentified location. >> the idea of not having him here in the middle of the speculation is a good thing. >> many people here believe jackson himself should say something, be more specific about his medical condition. but sources close to the congressman tell me he may not be well enough to work until after labor day. for "cbs this morning saturday," i'm jay levine in chicago. >> joining us now from chicago is lynn sweet, washington bureau chief of the chicago sun-times
8:18 am
and here in our studio, director of the mood and anxiety disorders program at the mount sinai school of medicine. good morning to both of you. lynn, let me start with you. my sense on capitol hill was that as soon as congressman jackson's office put out the statement saying that he had a mood disorder, that people kind of backed off and said, okay, let's give him the time to recover. that explanation is good enough for us for now. is that the sense that you get from his constituents and democrats in chicago? >> well, there's a sense, that people do have a charitable impulse. certainly when anyone is ill, people want to give people some space and time. the issue right now is that there has been space and there has been time and the people who hired him who are his constituents need some more details, maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but probably pretty soon. just about what the nature of this mood disorder is even if they can't give a prognosis,
8:19 am
perhaps there's a diagnosis that could be a little more forthcoming than what they've done right now. >> especially since he's up for reelection in four months. can you give us a sense of the power and the reputation of the jackson family in chicago and why this has created so much interest. >> i'll take the second part first. the jackson family is in chicago, a political dynasty at this point. certainly everyone in the nation knows reverend jesse jackson. he ran for president twice. the founder of operation push. rainbow push coalition. many people don't know that congressman jackson's wife is an alderman in the seventh ward. this is a power couple in the city. and that the congressman has created a pretty efficient south side political operation where he systematically has been able to defeat rivals through the years. now, his reelection in november,
8:20 am
even with this question mark hanging over him, i would say it would be a very rough time for a republican to win. the district is overwhelmingly democratic and the republican who is running is barely known. this is a county, i want to remind people around the country, that re-elected a cook county board president, or nominated him when he had been ill for months and was never even seen before his death. but nonetheless, severely ill. he was renominated. people might be a little fed up with this because of that situation. >> lynn makes the point, doctor, that mood disorder is a pretty broad diagnosis. what exactly is it? >> indeed, it is. it's a group of disorders characterized by depression and other mood symptoms. major depression and bipolar disorder would be the most
8:21 am
significant diagnoses here. what's important to understand is how prevalent, how frequent this is. basically, if you look at a group of individuals the size of the u.s. congress, you would expect about 45 to 50 them to have suffered with depression lifetime and about 20 to 25 to have suffered in a 435 group of people, 20 to 25 in the past six months. >> that's a big group of people. is this something brought on by stress? >> well, it's biological predisposition, genetic and otherwise. and then a history of traumatic life events makes a big difference and then in an individual that is so predisposed, having very intense stress would make it more likely that you have an episode. >> doctor, here in new york, thank you so much, lynn sweet in chicago. appreciate your insights this morning. now here's lonnie with another check of the weather. >> guys, thanks very much. good morning everybody.
8:22 am
let's get to the big picture. the satellite, radar image. satellite imagery will show you where the clouds are. the radar image those you the wet weather. as you look at this, you can see two areas of disturbed weather. one stretching from the tennessee valley into the ohio valley right up over into portions of the northeast. the second area is around the spine of the rocky mountains. we will be calling for scattered showers for both of those areas. in between, look at this, talk about sweet sunshine out there. but that's going to be the hotspot of the country. we're talking literally the center channel of the country. nothing like the heat you felt last week. sioux falls, wichita, 100. a lot of you last time this week 109. everybody bumps up a degree or two for sunday. here's a closer look at the weather for your weekend.
8:23 am
make it a great saturday everybody. anthony over to you. >> thanks, lonnie. up next, what if lincoln wasn't assassinated and instead was impeached? we'll talk to best selling author and law professor steven carter, whose new novel imagination just that. you're watching "cbs this morning saturday." last season was the gulf's best tourism season in years. in florida we had more suntans... in alabama we had more beautiful blooms... in mississippi we had more good times... in louisiana we had more fun on the water. last season we broke all kinds of records on the gulf. this year we are out to do even better... and now is a great time to start. our beatches are even more relaxing... the fishing's great. so pick your favorite spot on the gulf... and come on down.
8:24 am
brought to you by bp and all of us who call the gulf home. it just wouldn't go away. my doctor diagnosed it as fibromyalgia, thought to be the result of overactive nerves that cause chronic widespread pain. lyrica is believed to calm these nerves. i learned lyrica can provide significant relief from fibromyalgia pain. and for some people, it can work in as early as the first week of treatment. so now i can plan my days and accomplish more. lyrica is not for everyone. lyrica may cause serious allergic reactions or suicidal thoughts or actions. tell your doctor right away if you have these, new or worsening depression, or unusual changes in mood or behavior, or any swelling or affected breathing or skin, or changes in eyesight, including blurry vision or muscle pain with fever or tired feeling. common side effects are dizziness, sleepiness, weight gain, and swelling of hands, legs and feet. don't drink alcohol while taking lyrica. don't drive or use machinery until you know how lyrica affects you. with less pain, i'm feeling better now that i've found lyrica.
8:26 am
it's a provocative reimagining of history. what if abraham lincoln had survived being shot and faced the wrath of a divided and angry congress? that's the premise of a new book by law professor stephen carter. it's called the impeachment of abraham lincoln and professor carter is here in studio 57. good morning, professor. >> good morning.
8:27 am
>> thanks for being with us this is an interesting premise. you get to something that a lot of people, given lincoln's myth i can status don't realize, there were a lot of people in his own party who didn't like him. >> it's true. history does rub away the sharp edges sometimes of what really happened. i should say, i am a lincoln fan. i'm not -- didn't write this book to say that lincoln should have been impeached but the premise is interesting to me. some say if lincoln survived, is it possible to have an impeachment trial, what would it have looked like? that's why it's fiction. >> what did people in his own party not like about him? >> we tend to forget that lincoln, to a lot of the abolitionists was seen as a westerner, no college, no formal education, had a funny accent, he had a high voice. they looked down on him through his presidency anyway. they thought he wasn't sufficiently absolutist in his purr suft of the abolitionist mission and so on. the idea is that members of his

own party once the war is safely won along with members of the opposition, take up some of the things he did in the war, the closing of opposition newspapers, the suspension of the writ of habeas corpus, defying court orders. things lincoln said were necessary for winning the war. those are the charges against him. >> you're a lincoln fan yourself. >> yes. >> growing up as a kid, your father had a lot of books about lincoln, you've read a lot about him. was it hard turning him into a character of fiction? >> it was very difficult but also a lot of fun. i do a lot of research for my novels. but i did more research for this than any of the others. while at first it was difficult taking someone i sew admire and making them a fictional character. after a while, i got into the enjoyment of fitting him into what's basically a courtroom thriller when you unpack the other aspects of it with lincoln as the defendant in the trial. >> one of the other interesting aspects of the book, your heroin is a 21-year-old defense lawyer for lincoln who is from the
8:29 am
black middle class in civil war america. i think a lot of people probably wouldn't realize that existed. >> i think that's right. that may be one of the reasons i chose her. he's 21 years old. she wants to be a lawyer. and this is at a time where there are no female haurs in the united states and probably six or eight black lawyers, we don't know the exact number, she's young, ambitious, barriers holding her back of race and sex and class and other things. i hit on her as the one who is basically telling the story. most of it is told from her point of view. i want an outsider's, not insider's view of lincoln. >> how successful was the black middle class at that point? >> it wasn't what it is today. a lot of times when we look back at the 19th century and especially the era around the end of slavery, we tend to think that every black person in america had just been a slave. of course, that was sadly, tragically true for the great majority. there were some families in the fictional family of hers is one
8:30 am
of them in which people had actually been free and earning a living for some time before that. >> you are a lawyer, you're a law professor at yale. did you use some of your own personal experience in building this courtroom drama? >> i don't know about experience. but i've certainly written and talked about presidential power. i write about the war power and talk about impeachment as well. all that fit together. you add in lincoln, you add in the courtroom scenes and wrap a little murder mystery around it and you've got a novel. >> you live in two different worlds essentially here. how do you travel back and forth between the two when you're writing? you certainly keep yourself busy. >> you know, i like to write. i write fiction. i write nonfiction. i've public ishd nine nonfiction books. each one is a break from the other. writing fiction helps relax me actually from the nonfiction which is most of the writing and teaching that i do. >> dr. stephen carter, thanks for joining us. >> my pleasure. thank you. now, here's nancy. up next, how to live longer

these financial scandals and advice on how to protect your money is jack otter. he's executive editor of cbs "moneywatch".com and the author of worth it, not worth it. jack, why are we seeing a lot of these cases? >> when you have a financial boom like we've had, you have a lot of money circulating and it's easier to get away with this stuff. then you start to get to the peak. there's more and more pressure to keep the results that you've been having. you get more bad guys trying to do stuff. everyone -- >> the tide is out. what's particularly disturbing about this case is that he admitted in his own suicide note that he had been doing this for 20 years. >> yeah. as you guys were talking about earlier, first of all, regul regulators were asleep at the switch. he was a decent fraudster. people don't expect the faxes that come in and the information to o have been put together by photoshop. clearly, regulators are
8:53 am
outmatched, aren't enough of them. they are vastly underpaid to the people they're supposed to be regulating. >> weren't there a few whistle blowers who said hey, you should check this guy's books? >> that's what scary. customers were complaining. he had an auditor, one guy in illinois. it was a big firm. earns and young should have been auditing. mott this other guy. there were plenty of tips that somebody should have picked up on. >> you're looking at a simple scheme relatively. he was using photoshop and taking bank statements and adjusting them. he set up a fake post box to intercept mail to make sure nobody else got it. it seems like a small time scheme in a way but it was quite a big company. >> it was a huge company. so people now i think are thinking oh, my gosh could this be happening to me. i have my money in a company i thought was safe. people need to take a lot of steps. there are things you can do to prevent this from happening. >> so $200 million is gone.
8:54 am
will the investors ever get their money back and what kinds of investors are these? >> these investors may not. a small distungs. but this was a futures firm. it was not protected by the security investors protector corporation. most people's broke erjs, merrill, schwab, those are protected by sip i can. up to have a million dollars is protected. not from making a lousy investment. but if the assets disappear, if it's bankrupt or whatever, the government will step in or thiso, i should say. as an investor make sure you're sipic protected. i would recommend a third party custodian. if you have an adviser, you want a separate entity holding your money. the adviser might tell the vanguard, the fidelity what to do with the money. you get your statements directly from vanguard or whoever. you know the money is still there. he can't run with it. make sure your adviser is a
8:55 am
fiduciary. they have to act in your best interest like a doctor or a lawyer. not a stockbroker. because they actually are only required to sell you a product that's suitable. you want somebody who can only buy the best product for you. >> as you say, you need to get past the appearances of this. this is a man highly respected in the community, hanging out with senators and it turns out he was committing fraud for 20 years. >> i find it scary. we cover this stuff, you and i. you never know where the next scandal is going to turn up. i want to caution people against thinking, because they see scary headlines like this, i have to stuff my money under the mattress. that is a guaranteed way to lose purchasing power. you need simple, basic, low cost mutual funds and of course, never ever, ever accept a product somebody tries to tell you over the phone. somebody is cold calling you, hang up. >> thank you so much jack. >> thanks so much. up next from the vault.
