8:01 am
as rick santorum and newt gingrich try to seize the momentum, even mitt romney is trying look right at home in the heart of dixie. >> good morning, you all. i got served this morning with biscuits and cheesy grits. >> american air scare. a flight attendant ran into turbulence on the ground. >> she actually made two comments if we did go back to the gate, we would crash. >> what happened on flight 2232 bound for chicago. and facebook bigamy. two wives, one man. a friending mistake could land a corrections officer in jail. those stories -- >> man, i'm governor, would you just shut up for a second? >> -- and so much more. >> god damn it. when is somebody going to go on the record in this story? >> -- on "cbs this morning" on
8:02 am
saturday march 10, 2012. welcome, everybody, also ahead this morning, we'll have our second jobs eight months ago when unemployment rate was 9.2%. we brought in people looking for work. now the jobless rate is dropping, some trends improving. we'll check back in with them to see if their personal stories reflect the numbers, because it can get so personal when it comes to the jobs picture. >> so many people feeling that way. and iff you're in a rocky relationship or have gotten a divorce. a new study said it could be anyway woman's dna. it's called the divorce gene. >> we'll ask if it's in the men's gene as well. >> i will tip toe. >> we begin with the new job numbers. unemployment rate remains the same at 8.3% but 227,000 jobs
8:03 am
were added last month. the unemployment rate didn't drop because half a million of americans jumped back in the work force and government revised the numbers from the past two months, making these the best three months in nearly two year. for more on what this means and what it may mean for the future, we're joining the executive editor of money watch. great to have you. >> great to be here. >> let's talk about where the jobs were added. >> the biggest was the special services. 81,000 added in that category. food service added 500,000 jobs in the last year. that's a cyclical industry, when things pick up people start going to restaurants. also, there's a big sur vey of executive, who are you going to hire? by far, 61% of i.t. managers are bringing on head counts, those
8:04 am
are high-paying jobs. >> it's interesting point, some higher paying jobs and where the openings exist, are areas i'm hearing from the skill schedule. engineering jobs, there's 3 million jobs open right now in this country that have gone unfilled. >> engineering is the highest paying sector in this country. i know it's too bad. there's a lot of dynamics, part of it is education p. part of it, frankly, is also the company's fault. in the old day, they trained the younger people, brought them up through the ranks and got them ready for those big jobs. now that's not happening, they want that candidate ready right now. another part of that dynamic, college-educated people. right now the unemployment rate is 4.1%. so there's no -- >> no unemployment among college people. you know, colleges are getting bashed a lot recently. if you want a job, a b.a. is the best path to it. >> big disparity there. when it comes to the jobs that excited before the great recession, what this economy and
8:05 am
what the jobs are going to look like coming out of the great recession, there's a fear that a lot of these jobs aren't coming back. do you buy into that? >> absolutely. you have to start with manufacturing. limited short-term good news, we've hadded 4,000 manufacturing jobs since the crash. 31,000 just last month alone. go back to $2,000. we've lost 5 million manufacturing jobs. clearly i think that's the negative trend. technology is also replacing service workers, newspaper reporters, alas, and plant managers, software is doing it. anyone who made a travel reservation, they it on expedia. ranks of travel agents are shrinking. >> thanks for being with us. have a nice weekend. >> you too. speaking of jobs, no issue weighs heavier on the presidential campaign. yesterday, mitt romney took a swipe at president obama for failing to bring unemployment below 8%. while romney would like to stay
8:06 am
focused on obama, right now his concern is nailing enough delegates. we have more from biloxi, mississippi. good morning, nancy. >> reporter: good morning. mitt romney said they're committed to staying in it all of the way to the republican convention in florida. if they do, none of them will band alabama? wouldn't you love to sing "sweet home alabama" wouldn't that be wonderful? >> reporter: in the race to wrap up delegates he has a it lead. newt gingrich trails with 97 and ron paul has 38. but with four candidates, splitting the vote.
8:07 am
romney himself may not get the 1144 delegates he needs to clench the nomination before the republican convention in august. the scenario his points are hoping for. >> everybody know, all of these delegates are up for grabs, there's very few hard committed. >> santorum said he's preparing for the possibility of a contested convention. where he would convince romney's delegates to change their votes. inge grich said he is going to do the same. >> we'll make the case to all delegates that are not legally bound that in fact the other two candidates cannot beat obama. if they come to that conclusion, the convention may be one one of the most surprising conventions in modern times. >> reporter: contested conventions don't have a history of ending well. jerry ford survived only to be beaten by jimmy carter.
8:08 am
in 1952, add lie stephenson eked out a victory only to be beat byron dwight eisenhower in the fall. good history lesson. thanks, nancy. joining us from washington b bureau is john dickerson. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> nancy weighed it out. how real of a possibility do you think we'll have a candidate this time? >> it's becoming a bit more of a possibility. it's still a bit of a longshot. if you look at candidates and the way they're running right now, if they continue to split the votes, if mitt romney isn't able to gain strength in future contests, there is an increasing possibility this could happen. but it all depends on the behavior of other candidates and how these prime's and caucuses play out. >> after today, all of the attention turns to the south. how are the different strategies play out for mitt romney,
8:09 am
talking about eating grits, eating biscuits to newt gingrich talking religion in the south? >> those strategies are at the margin and edges, even though they're offering strategies to the local areas. basically it's the same they are offering. they can turn around the economy, i've been in the business world in the private sector and rick santorum is saying i share your values, i come from where you come from. and newt gingrich is essentially saying a version of the same thing. i'm the authentic conservative. the messages are the same even if they are adding a new sprinkling on top. >> i heard newt gingrich is pulling ahead in the mississippi polls. how real is the possibility out of these things tuesday, we'll see a two-candidate race or a smaller number of candidates in the playing field and someone dropping out? >> it's unpredictable. so much has been unpredictable in this race.
8:10 am
if newt gingrich does well in both of these contests tuesday, then it short of re-emerges and rick santorum has been the single conservative to mitt romney. then he falls back. he's not likely to get out because he's had some victories. in a way that's what romney would like. he would like opposition to keep splitting the vote so he it continue gaining these delegates. he gains delegates in the proportional system even if he loses the primaries. he would like that to continue. what santorum would like is newt gingrich to have a disastrous tuesday and would like santorum to be that single alternative. >> how likely will that be for newt gingrich to vey disastrous tuesday? >> he's doing pretty well in the polls. we have to see. on super tuesday, he wanted georgia but never came in second place anywhere else in the other ten contests. that wasn't great for him. he needs to do better than that. at least win one of these two states and even then he's well back in the delegate hunt and he
8:11 am
needs to show he can grow his vote in the republican party, so far only winning in georgia and south carolina. hard to make that case. >> how swell mitt romney doing in defining himself as a political trend setter. he said i'm not really a politician, but then he said, yes, i guess i am. >> it's hard to argue he's not a politician. but interesting when you look at the exit polls when people are asked which attribute do you prize the most, you asked them being in the business world or being in washington? people like somebody from the business world by a wide margin, and mitt romney gets all of those votes. what he's trying to do is remind people that he was in the business world for much of his life. they seem to be buying that even though he's running for president for a long time. >> not only does that business component matter to people. but so does the jobs picture in the united states. how do you think that might play out with some of the jobs' picture improving a bit?
8:12 am
is it going to be good for obama? >> it will be good for president obama, there's still a lot of work the president has to do to improve things and improve his approval reign. when mitt romney says things bad, he has to say he has to jump over the recent good news and explain things are so much better when he's president. that's a harder argument to make. it's not a disaster for the republicans, but it makes it a little harder for them. >> thanks so much. we appreciate it. >> thanks, rebecca. now we turn to the scare on american airlines flight 2332. flight attendant has been taken to a dallas hospital for evaluation. passengers say she was distraught. out of control, rambling, about how the plane would crash. correspondent mark straussman has the dramatic story. >> reporter: from the back of flight 2332, passengers could hear screams. an american airlines flight was taxiing for takeoff bound for
8:13 am
chicago. a flight attendant having an apparent medical episode startled passengers about screaming about 9/11 and more. >> she said she would not be responsible for the plane crash. we had not left the ground. i wasn't sure what we were talking about. >> she made p two comments, if we did go back to the gate, we would crash. >> we were like, hello, listen to me, next thing you know, bam. >> reporter: passengers joined two other flight attendants wrestling her off the intercom and into a seat as the plane returned to the terminal. >> it was a good wrestle. they had to subdue her, there were like five people holding her down. >> she was in a manic state. she mentioned being bipolar, i said did she take lithium. she said yes. i asked if she took it today she said know. american airlines says we apologize. >> i do think the situation would have been extremely out of
8:14 am
control if we had been in the air. i thank god we were not. >> reporter: an hour later than planned. the flight was airborne for chicago. after the unidentified flight attendant, handcuffed kicking and screaming was taken to a police cruiser, waiting on the tarmac. no charges have been filed. united nations special envoy is in serious this morning scheduled to meet with bashar ass assad. what does he realistically hope to achieve, given the opposition will then seemingly welcomed it? >> reporter: well, he's expected to ask for an immediate cease-fire and end to the violence when he meets with officials, he'll also be meeting with helps of the opposition tomorrow. he favors a political solution to this crisis but does not
8:15 am
believe further mill tarrizing is called for. that means many feel this is more talking. that the time for talking is long past and they don't have high expectations from this visit. >> so not very good news on that front. what's the latest on the situation inside syria. is there any sign that president assad's regime is changing its tactics? >> reporter: the short answer to that, james, is not. in the 24 hours leading up to his visit, we saw continued violence across the country. activists said at least 76 peep were killed yesterday. there was continued shelling in the city of homs. today we're hearing they are shelg the northe shelling the northern city. no sign he's changing his tactics. >> u.s. military said his army remains strong. pretty much despite the on going
8:16 am
conflict. is there any sign you can point to him, his grip on the power? >> it does not seem, at this stage, that president bashar al assad is losing his grip on power, primarily because he continues to have the military, sophisticated army. 330,000 men strong. we. seen any defections from his inner circle. that said, the economic situation in sirria continues to grow more and more dire. food prices have literally doubled. there's serious fuel sources. i don't think we can expect to see people out protesting about the economic situation any time soon. >> clarissa ward in beirut, lebanon, thank you so very much. now for the rest of the headlines we turn to morning news anchor, betty nguyen, good morning. >> good morning to you. a suspect is in lockup this
8:17 am
morning charged with sending 100 threatening letters containing white powder to members of congress. they arrested christopher lee carlson friday. the powder was tested and found not to contain toxic substances. police say they have solid leads on a suspect wanted in connection with a stabbing in a courthouse in washington, about 90 miles southwest of seattle. it happened yesterday p. a judge shafrd knife wound and a sheriff's deputy was shot with her own gone when she confronted the attacker. both were treated and released. toyota has a major recall, recalling 7,000 vehicles. it includes, tacoma trucks for possible steering wheel problems. also 2009 camry sedan, and venza suvs from 2009 to 2011. both of those models have
8:18 am
problem was stop lamp switches. this recall led to millions of vehicles in 2009 and 2010. dominique strauss-kahn triggered an angry prophet test when he showed up for a cambridge university. strauss-kahn was charged with sexually assaulting a new york city hotel maid last year but those charges were later dropped. and in california, a big rolling stone will soon be ready to start gathering moss. the 310-ton boulder is an art project at the los angeles museum of art. because of its size, the 60-mile trip from the quarry has taken more than a week. it's arriving this morning and placed over a trench. giving visitors an illusion that the rock is actually floating above them. i don't know if that's what you
8:19 am
want to see. it could be dangerous, but it's not. it's 18 minutes past the hour. no boulders over there behind you, lonnie. >> a coach my jokes go over like a boulder. >> here's a picture for you. time warner center. there's one of our skating risks in the city. let's look at the weather headlines. here's how we see it. stormy and went in the southern plains, i'm talking about the northern plain, great fall, rapid city, lincoln, temperatures 20 degrees above average today. now there's bad news to go with that. you have a fire danger. check this out. rapid city, very dry air. also flooding concerns. i'm talking west of that for the state of wyoming, big ice melt today. let's look at the national picture here and close look at weather for the weekend.
8:20 am
all right. you make a great saturday. james, rebecca back over you to. >> thanks so much. tomorrow marks the anniversary of the 8.9 earthquake that triggered a devastating tsunami that washed away entire villages. nearly 20,000 people lost their lives. >> thousands of children lost one or both of their parks in that disaster. bill whittiker explores how they struggle to come to grips after that day. >> reporter: what we see of the tsunami is horrific. what you can't see is it's devastating. this woman lost her mother, she
8:21 am
was swept up but her mother was swept away these pictures are all the 18-year-old has of her mother now. she told us she has waves of emotion she struggling to control. sometimes she said it's hard. after the tsunami in relief shelter, you couldn't help but notice all of the children. more than 1500 lost one or both parents, 20,000 are still homeless. >> lots of children were displaced very rapidly and under frightening circumstances. >> reporter: the director for the national center for disaster preparedness studies the effects of disasters on children. >> when the rains stop, you know, the earthquake finally settles down, but the fact is, for children, the consequence of disaster can last for many, many year and in some cases never really go away. >> reporter: ucla pediatrician, raced back to her native japan
8:22 am

8:23 am
healing thanks to a charity that helps children and parents. she plans to go to medical school so she can help hers. for "cbs this morning saturday." >> that's an inspiration that she would go help others in need. coming up, we'll ask our group if finding work is easier now than eight months ago and why a rocky romance may be more dna than chemistry. you're watching "cbs morning saturday."

8:31 am
we'll have that story. first the top story. the premise of facebook, social media site is simple, bring people together electronically, but sometimes that can add up to trouble as three people in washington discover. correspondent ben tracey reports. >> reporter: one woman's posting on facebook to her wedding of corrections officer alan o'neal turns out to be another reason to call the police. >> she goes to this facebook page and shes her husband, in wedding attire, in front of a wedding cake with another woman. >> reporter: that was enough to charge o'neill with bigamy. and it was facebook that helped investigators crack the case. the social media site recommends people who have something in common. in this case, they shared alan o'neill. something they only found out when they saw the other woman's
8:32 am
online. >> with facebook. everybody's information is out there. >> reporter: it didn't matter the husband they shared had two different names he was alan folk to his first wife and alan o'neill to the other. and joining us is jane velez mitchell. host of jane velez mitchell on headline news. good morning. >> this is so weird. what could this guy be facing? >> he could face a year in jail. the prosecutors said, i'll let him out. what's the worst thing he can do, get marry aid third time? >> lovely. great thinking. prosecu prosecutor. >> when it comes to facebook in general, how many crimes are we finding? >> it's become the best tool of law enforcement. a lot of police departments
8:33 am
setting up their own facebook page. people love to snoop on facebook. what's really fascinating. this actually happened before. there was a woman married to a man in italy. he was going on a lot of business trips. he got suspicious and found out he had a wife in florida. in the old days, a traveling salesman could have multiple wives. bigamy is as old as marriage itself and they could compartmentalize. not anymore. facebook has blown it wide open. with facebook friends like this, who needs enemies. >> i'm scratching my head about this. why not just divorce the first wife? it's way too complicated to do all of that. >> yes, he walks out on her three year ago, then he meets his woman, then decides instead of divorcing wife number one, i'm just going to change my name and marry wife number two. what's interesting, there is a back story here. in 2010, a year after he walked out on her without divorcing her. she found out that he was dating
8:34 am
this woman and apparently police were called, according to published reports. maybe he was afraid to follow through with the divorce, because in dealing with wife number one. >> therefore, one might assume lying continues as a pattern, maybe the irs, banks, et cetera? >> yes, there's a lot of reasons people don't get divorced. maybe they don't want to pay spousal support or thanks tax consequence, et cetera. you got to know wife number two, if she's just finding out about this now is pretty p.o.'d. it's a pretty interesting story. it boils down to this automatic thing on facebook, where it's people you may know. and they may want to change that as people you may know in a biblical sense because that's what happened here. >> i don't know about that one. i'm glad i don't know that. >> i'm familiar with that book as well p. jane velez pitch mit.
8:35 am
thanks very much. let's check the weather. >> what i want to go through is the weather headlines. that's a beautiful shot there. this is what i'm looking for. i'm looking for a better sunday in the northeast than saturday. second part of the weekend is better than the first. that's where you find the warmer air. heavier rainfall anywhere in the country, texas, louisiana. looks like a wild weekend. take a look at the satellite picture. this doesn't look like too much. but it is rolling out. it's going to get its act together. here's how we're forecasting it. this low pressure system on shore, there will be a series of storms developed. each pulse getting bicker than the next one. it all starts up sunday. elevations above 2,000 feet are going to pick up a lot of snow. about one to two feet. if you're at lower elevations, this will be a lot of rain. several inches over the next few days. here's a closer look right now at your weather for the weekend.
