welcome to "cbs this morning." good morning, norah. >> good morning to you, charlie. president obama plans to discuss the affordable health care act. most of them have struggled just to log on. >> well, last night the obama administration said it's going bring in some high-powered help to tackle the website's problems. bill plante is at the white house. bill, good morning. >> reporter: norah, good morning. the botched rollout of the health care has not only embarrassed the white house. the president is very upset. today he'll call the situation inexcusable when he addresses it here later this morning surrounded by people who've already been helped by the health care act but he'll also make the case that the law is working for thousands of others and will get better. on sunday the secretary of the treasury admitted that dissatisfaction with health care.gov goes straight to the

top. >> i tlink's no one more frustrated than the president. >> reporter: the administration says it's bringing in some of the best and brightest from inside and outside the government to help make improvements acknowledging the obvious. republicans were more blunt. >> look. it's been a fiasco. send air force one out to silicon valley, load it up with smart people and bring it back to washington to fix this problem. >> kathleen sebelius highlighted one of the problems. we didn't have enough testing specifically for high volumes, for a very complicated project. the applications have been completed online, on paper, and over the phone but the administration is not saying how many were able to take the next

step and actually select an insurance plan. >> that tell us us no information as far as how many people actually enrolled and that's a very relevant matter. if not enough people don't sign up, the rates are going to be astronomical. >> the number one worry before we started was are people going to be interested. will people sign up, and the answer to that is overwhelmingly yes. >> reporter: well, last night the administration announced what it calls major changes to the website to make it easier to use including an option that direct use to sign up by phone and showing users plans in their area without entering massive amounts of personal data. secretary sebelius remains a target. republicans want her to testify before a house hearing. so far she's refusing. norah, charlie? >> bill, thank you. also in washington cbs political director john dickerson. good morning. >> good morning, charlie.

>> what is the president trying to do here? >> the president is basically trying to fix more than just a political black eye because there's a point where these problems could threaten the entire enterprise. you know, the success of the president's health care plan is to sipe up younger americans so it's not just sicker older americans which would increase the premiums. it was to get people to sign up but get a flow of positive stories through social media where the harder to reach young americans are. the idea is they would get lured into signing up after they heard how easy it was to sign up. that's not the story they're hearing. they say the program is a mess. >> initially, john, the president said it's like a glitch and compared it to apple rolling out its new operating system. why the shift in tone? >> because it's been far worse than a glitch. it's been a total fiasco as senator mccain said.

the problem here said the administration to get into a credibility depth spiral. there's always been charges from the right that the president's health care promises didn't turn out to be true but then it turns out it didn't have merit. well, that didn't quite turn out to be true. these -- we were told before this was launched that it had been up and down and sideways and backward the way the electronic filing had been. now, secretary sebelius said it wasn't enough. the problem is that it's one of false promise after another and that could be a big, big problem. >> they also have a time problem, don't they? a time problem and people who look at this say it's much more difficult than simply fixing the log-in. you have glitches that are going to take time. >> that's right, charlie. it's not just that you can't get in the front door but that you

can't sign up. it turns out that it's wrong, there are duplicates and the insurance companies are having to go back and check each one of the signups which delays the process, costs more money. there's a problem being reported throughout the entire system. not just a pretty website. >> john dickerson, thank you. and secretary of state john kerry is in paris this morning but he may get an unwelcome reception. the french summit demanding answers about nsa spying. reports say nsa collected 70 million phone records between december and january. documents from lyric edward snowden report lid shows the nsa accessed the public e-mail account of former president felipe calderon. two convicted felons are back in prison. now police are searching for whenever helped the pair con their way out of prison.

they're promising more arrests. the fugitives were captured in panama beach, florida, on saturday. mark strassmann is there very good morning, charlie. the manhunt is over but the escape investigation is in high gear. this is cell phone video of 20 investigators surrounding a panama city beach motel saturday evening. they had been tipped that two guests inside were the most wanted fugitives in floor, joseph jenkins and charles walker. eric stewart was watching. >> they came out with their hands up, laid on the ground and 45 seconds later the second came out. >> the investigators don't know how jenkins and walker pulled it off. they were convicted murderers spending life behind bars with no chance of parole but prison

papers walked them to freedom. >> they stay housed until they're legally due to be released, so it is embarrassing. >> reporter: investigators are degreeing into one possibility that the forged court orders were bought for $8,000. joseph was set free on september 27th, charles aboon october 8th >> evangelina kearse's son celdric slater was murdered by walker in 1999. on october 12th kearse got this victim letter telling her walker had been released early. she called authorities the first time she realized the system had been scammed. >> i was surprised and anger came in me and i felt that the court system had let me down. >> the anguish. >> henry pearson feels let down too. he's the uncle of escapee joseph jenkins who pierson said he

raised like a son. >> if i had an opportunity to ask him i would ask him, what's the deal. >> reporter: pearson got a phone call that his snephew was released. seemed too good to be true. >> yes. you probably want to check them out again. >> investigators have seized computers from the prison wherein the inmates escapes. charlie and norah, jenkins and walker will convenient annually be sent to a different facility. >> mark, thank you. the nation's biggest bank is facing a $13 billion fine for its role in the meltdown. jamie dimon attended. the deal does not end a criminal probe and it could set a standard on cracking down the

code. he was managing director of j jpmorgan chase. the sum 13rks billion, that's likely the biggest fine better. >> you know, by multiples. this is a mind-blowing sum. it's stunning. it's huge. and, of course, we want to know who ends up paying for it. i assume it's the jpmorgan shareholders along with the insurance companies but it's a mind-boggling sum of money. >> what does it mean when the attorney general says it does not rule out criminal proposition cushion. how could jpmorgan agree to that? >> jp moore began tried to wrap it up and put a nice bow on it. unfortunately they wouldn't let them defer. >> think it probably lends to the suggestion they bought their way out of the problem, right? >> i think the justice department wants to show that it can be tougher than it has been in the past.

and by the way, they must believe -- i believe it's the california u.s. attorneys, they believe they have evidence or e-mails or documents that show there might have been criminal behavior. we have to see, of course, but i think that's what's driving the justice department to take a tough line on this. >> is most of this about jp missouri began buying companies during the crisis in 2008? >> charlie, this is a great point because what jamie dimon and jpmorgan executives would have us believe is most of this is what they bought from bear stearns in 2008 and then washington mutual in the fall of 2008. what i'm actually hearing is the majority of this may actually be from jpmorgan chase themselves. they're having the people believe saying they're trying to help people out and this is the reward that we get, a $13 billion penalty. but, in fact, i think more than people thing it was in the

jpmorgan line itself. >> this deal also sets a new standard for bank of america which also purchased one of those companies. >> bank of america bought countrywide and merrill lynch. they're next in line. they're talking a potentially even bigger one. this is the beginning of a domino effect. >> what does this mean for people who lost their homes? >> it could be good. it goes to people who lost their homes through foreclosure, so that could be good news. >> thanks. for the first time new jersey is allowing same-sex marriage. the first couples exchanged their vows shortly after midnight. u.s. senator cory booker led ceremonies in newark. commuters in san francisco face more transit issues. two workers died saturday after

how they spent money donated to plolitical action committee. in a moment we'll talk with peter schweitzer. >> reporter: over time the leadership pacs were collected as a way and have evolved into something different. today nearly every congressman and senator has a leadership pac, not just the leaders and they're used to solicit them in order to advance their political agent dans, careers, and in many cases their lifestyle. >> like a political slush fund. >> that's exactly what it is. over time we've had them, they've been outlawed, they spring back in new guises, and this is the new guise. >> reporter: potter says their political expense accounts financed by lobbyists. they're the second largest

revenue stream for members of congress. >> you can use them for baby-sitting, paying for baby-sitters, use them for car service, you can use them for travel. nobody's really checking to see whether this is personal or legitimate business expense. >> reporter: backi in 2006 john edward used his leadership pac to pay his mistress rielle hunter $114,000 to make a campaign video and republican congressman andrew crenshaw spent $32,000 hosting a tour of california wineries for a group of contributor from the defense industry which he has some oversight of. >> look. they're not having leadership pac meetings at the hampton down the road. they're going to the premier golfing and resort in the united states and sometimes around the world and that's ostensibly where they're doing this leadership pac work. >> reporter: for example robert

andrews used $16,000 from his committee pac to fly his family to scotland ostensibly to attend the wedding of a friend that he was thinking about hiring as a political consult. so they will categorize them as something related to the leadership pack, but in reality they're for personal use. >> peter schweitzer is the awe thof or "extortion." welcome. >> thank you. >> how widespread is this? >> it's an enormous problem and i think it's only going to get worse. it's very lucrative, a way to subsidize your lifestyle. yes, it's about influence but it's increasingly about extortion where companies feel like they have to contribute even though they don't want to. >> how will the attention you're giving to this going to change

it? >> it's only going to change if those in charge of the reform, namely the politicians, will change them. this is a classic example of self-regulation. they get to rewrite their own rules. i think with public pressure and attention hopefully they'll be embarrassed or changed into making kind of reforms and changes they should make. >> there's one bill in the senate by a republican who currently has no co-sponsor so there's no appetite to change this at all. let's talk about this. political action committees. who can donate to them? >> anybody can but largely it comes from corporation action committees or lobbyists. generally they don't go back to their home districts and say, hey, i've got these slush funds. so it's very much a game. >> i have business before them, i can give $10,000 to that

leadership pac and that member in congress can use that money virtually any way they want. >> that's right. it's like basically having a second pocket. the first pocket you have is your regular campaign funds. >> that's right. jesse jackson jr. actually went to jail specifically on that charge. >> but had he had a leadership pac. >> yes. you can float it to more personal expenses. and, again, they get to set the rules. it's like us work, for a company and we say don't worry what i'm submitting for my expenses. you can trust me. >> you suggested somehow politics is like wrestling with this kind of pack. >> yes. that's right. i think we have to look at washington, d.c., as a political economy. what is the incentive structure. the incentive, it's not toward solving and fixing problems.

there's actually not a lot of money to be made that way. you make money with conflict. you make money with division and you make money by not fixing problems so i argue it's like professional wrestling. you think that these two sides really, really hate each other, but in reality they're together. >> these leadership pacs are set up with the idea that you would give money to help elect people in your same party. and yet you go detail through detail. it's rich how most of these packs give more money to golf outings than they do to other candidates in their own party. what's the most egregious example? >> many spend $100,000 playing golf and give a smaller portion to them. there's a congressman in middle east who spent more money on

limousines than he did in giving money to his colleagues. this is not doing what it's supposed to do, which is help members in congress. people need to recognize what's happening in washington is not so much individuals on the outside are trying to influence members of congress. that happens. it's also members of congress are looking for opportunities to leverage their position and extract money and welt to maybe individuals they don't want to give but have to because they don't have a choice. >> thank you. >> thanks for having me. >> the book goes on sale tomorrow. this morning a bribery involved two top kmaernlds and an nci agent. prosecutors 'ledge navy ships were sent to certain ports in asia for theater tickets, expensive tickets, and even prostitutes. david martin is at the pentagon. good morning. >> good morning. the alleged leader is glenn

marine. they've been providing dockside services to navy ships for over 25 years. commander michael misiewicz is allegedly one of the officers who accepted the bribes. he eventually oversaw skids and s schedules. he recently spoke with students. >> it is such a pressure ledge to be here representing the u.s. >> according to court papers, misiewicz was involved in moving ships to pacific ports serviced by glenn marine. in exchange misiewicz received

tickets for himself and his family, tickets to lion king and lady gaga and prostitutes. >> it's very rare to have a senior military command never the navy or in another service implicated for something like this. it cost the navy $2.7 million, almost twice what similar port visits would normally cost. the scandal also implicated john bertrand beliveau. prosecutors allege he was also bribed with travel expenses, prostitutes, and money. >> that's a problem and it underscores the fact that they themselves need to be monitoring. >> reporter: earlier this month

captain daniel ddusek of the n bonhamme richard. >> they have all pled not guilty. their lawyers did not respond to our request for commend. charlie, norah. >> thank you, david. they call her maria but authorities don't know the true id i testify her living with gypsies in greece. we'll show you what's being done to resolve the mystery and what do they mean about child trafficking. that's next on "cbs this morning."

authorities in greece are making an international appeal this morning. they're trying to identify a young girl found at a gypsy camp last week. they fear she could be part of child trafficking. >> she answers to the name of maria. she's thought to be 4 years old and is now being cared for by authorities in greece. it was the girl's looks that were the first clue, blond and blue eyed, not the usual dark hair and dark eyes. when police arrived to investigate another issue. dna testified that the girl did not come from the same family as the one she was living with. some are arguing the child had been, quote, given to the family for care and she had been treated well.

others take a dimmer view that she was stolen for resale or she had other value that a blond chide is good for street begging. a home video shows the child has been with the family for some time a charity has posted a image. it's received thousands of called from around the world including calls from the united states. >> the combined effort of those people to buy and sell children. >> reporter: a man and woman were arrested and taken from this community. they're appearing in court charged with abducting a minor. their lawyer says they will offer a defense. >> they're claiming they never

he was seen from time to time nodding off. bush would make fun of him at times. >> he was under stress like anyone else. >> right. there wasn't any word of husband judgment being altered or impacted. there was a question of whether he had changed. i think that's probably overstated. i think he always was a strong conservative, always believed in the things that he fiduciary . >> there was a perception that he was pulling the chains of power. >> right. >> what did you find. >> >> i find the pictures with very is too cartoonish. it's a much more complicated story. very inflew enchachlt very most

powerful vice president in his time. but it changed over time. by the time we get into the second term, president bush turns in a different direction. he wants more diplomacy. >> in fact, you write that bush and cheney by the tie time they left office they were on opposite sides on most everything including asia, china, gun rights clierks mat rights. >> that's bag list. exactly. from cheney's point of view he thought bush had begun to pull away from the principles they had shared from the beginning and he was disappointed. from bush's perspective, it was course correction. >> i want to pick one thing, one of the most cons kwen cal decisions. there were a lot but certainly the decision in iraq. can you go through some of the great doubts?

been that of the a funeral director. many people thought he engineered his way into the vp job. what does ma anthony? you know, there's a lot of speculation about that. he said, look, bush came to me early on and asked me if i wanted to koit and i said number but interest are friends who say he found the flaws in all the other candidates. >> don't you suggest that bush had actually talked about cheney to be on his fare's ticket. he suggested his father dump the vice president and hire dick cheney. >> he comes off here better than many people expect him in terms

of decision-making. do you believe that? >> i think it's port to get into the decision macking. not to agree with them or disagree with them but in order to validate how they were made. i think history will be looking at this and debate it it for a long time. >> you say he left office and many didn't like him. cheney was nts. he said i was a most popular president. >> why wouldn't president obama talk to you president bush didn't believe the norm times would be fair. he felt it has not been balanced in his time in office. i think in the end he allowed a lot of people to talk at least
