he has been spending a lot of it. other problem is even if he weren't accelerating the kiss ma and aura, it would happen anyway when he entered into the presidency because he has to do real stuff. what's defeating him is reality over his rhetoric. three things -- stimulus, cap and trade and healthcare. stimulus, he blew a hole in the budget that is a trillion dollars wide. there is nothing to show for it. it created a panic in the country and in the congress about deficits, so as a result, when he comes along with healthcare, there's an obsession, i think a correct obsession with revenue neutrality, how much is it going to cost and what is it going to do? and there's no way to make the numbers work on healthcare. on cap and trade, he's got a monstrosity on his hands. he presents a bill in which you want to auction off pollution rights. you can argue it's a good or bad idea, and create a market. instead, his people in congress give away almost 90% of the permits as patronage and political favors, so he's got a disaster

your family has been here. my wife, who has been an office holder in her own right, said it's a lot harder to listen to me than to make a speech herself. i think beyond doing very well on stamina, you have shown intellect and humor and charm and pride and also modesty, so it's been very -- a good hearing. notwithstanding all of those qualities, the constitution says we have to decide whether to consent and that requires the hearing process and the questions. before going into long list of issues, which i have on the agenda, separation of power and wireless wiretaps and secret cia programs and voting rights and the americans for disability act and a woman's right to choose and environmental protection agency and clean water act and television in the second amendment, i'd like to make an observation or two. there has been a lot of talk about a wise latino woman and i think that this proceeding is making a mountain out of a mole hill. we have had a consistent lie, people who are nominees who make references to the

there has been a change.hink since the sass destination of bhutto and if you remember six or seven weeks ago the headlines across the world and across the pakistani press, the taliban 70 kilometers from islamabad. that was a pivotal moment because you could feel, the middle classes in pakistan asking are we safe? what you've seen is unity across the political spectrum and critically unity between politicians and the military in pursuing a very difficult campaign in the swat valley. remember, the pakistani military lost 2,000 of its own soldiers in the last 18 months or so. you've seen unity and a sigh of relief from large parts of pack sanny society suggesting leaders will get a grip. pakistan is -- you asked at the beginning of your question, whether britain's or america's fault, we haven't run pakistan for 60 years now. >> you drew the boundary between pakistan and india which -- >> we did. we have to recognize our own history. 61 years, india is the world's largest and most successful, largest democracy an

nigeria has been blessed with a large oil well. this has become an area of corruption and conflict. limbs from sierra leone civil war are just the most visible scars of the conflict fueled by competition into the country's diamond profit. of the mineral that is not mind it is sold on to make -- the mineral that is if mined is sold to companies to make mobile phone parts. global witness says that there and they leave many civilians devastated in their wake. western companies through intermediaries. >> these companies are not doing enough to see where these minerals are coming from. we are not saying they are doing anything illegal. they are not doing the necessary due diligence to make sure that they are not purchasing minerals that have come from warring parties. >> one of the companies featured in the report is the world's fifth largest producer of tin. they are owned by a british metals giant. they have recently enhanced their due diligence program to make the supply chain more transparent. the resource curse is man-made which means that it can be cured. there are also the challen

we'll that's where the new genesis coupe has to prove itself. so let's see if genesis can evolve into a full carline and not just be a one hit wonder. it's true that the genesis sedan and the new 2010 hyundai genesis coupe share the same nameplate, the same basic rear-wheel drive architecture, and a bit of overlap in powertrains. but beyond that, they struck us as two very different cars. the plush four-door sedan competes with the likes of the bmw 5-series and lexus gs. but the two-door coupe is more a korean counter to detroit's muscle stalwarts, camaro and mustang, with an eye on the g37 infiniti coupe. in terms of form, the genesis coupe takes on a truly low slung but aggressive look. like the tiburon before it, its proportions, racked stance, exaggerated haunches, and powerful curves, are right out of the contemporary japanese sports coupe textbook. glaring xenon hid headlamps spearhead the coupe's short, bulldog snout. and its fast profile wears a flowing beltline contrasted by jagged "z" character lines. 18 or 19-inch alloys, a stubby rea

i might say, this cop has an attitude. what the hell, he is arresting the great henry kissinger. >> don't you think it is a completely different issue where the president, regardless of the circumstances, should be commenting on a spefg specific local case. no doubt, president obama is engaged in the broad subject dominic talked about. he talked about racial profiling in illinois. i felt he was offkey and a little off his usual precision was on being so specific and commenting on this individual case, a, as we said today, he didn't necessarily have all the facts, b, if he did, is it appropriate for the president of the united states to be offering that detailed an opinion about a law enforcement decision as opposed to saying, as opposed to saying there's a broader issue here we need to discuss in the society which is where he came back today. it was more in tune of the way he handles racial issues. >> in this city especially, don't you ever want to dust somebody up and say, is there a person inside there? does everybody ha

ha ha! yeah! the option to name your price -- new and only from progressive.all or click today. >>> former vice president, dim dick cheney, reports that it was cheney who ordered the cia to withhold information from congress about a classified terrorist program. let's bring in david gergen. this program, i am told, involved assassinations, right after 9/11 of al qaeda suspects. it was never operational. it was widely discussed. congress would not inform about it. should it have been informed about it? >> i think probably so. we still don't know the full facts in this case. what we seem to know is that after 9/11, congress was informed by the bush white house or bush administration that the president had approved the killing of al qaeda operatives. they were never informed of what the follow-up plan was? they never did have an operational plan. they were thinking, from all the reports, of setting up small teams of commandos. to kill people at low range. congress does expect the executive branch to keep congress fully informed with some loopholes. you know this

president obama has said that even iran has the right to make nuclear power.ted the technology. isn't it time that we got back in the game? there seem to be a couple of things holding us back. both of which are discussed at length in the blueprint that i'm presenting today. first, a failure to appreciate just how different nuclear is from other technologies, how it's tremendous energy density translates into a vanishing small -- a vanishingly small environmental foot print. a uranium fuel pellet the size of a them bell can contain 150 pounds of coal, or 17,000 cubic feet of natural gas. france, which as i said, gets 80% of its activity from nuclear plants stores unusual radioactive waste, beneath the floor of one room beneath the facility. the second thing holds us back is an exaggerated fear of nuclear technology. nuclear power plants were the result of president eisenhowerer's ad atoms for peace program. the idea was to take the greatest invention of the last century and use it to provide low-cost energy to reduce poverty around the world. a nuclear power pl

zelaya has done whatever he has done i don't believe that the military has the right to come in and pull out. it would have been the equivalent i would think of, at the time when president nixon, who had violated laws in the constitution of the united states had he not conducted a process in which he would have been impeached, of having in the middle of the night the united states army going into the white house and taking president nixon out and having him exile. clearly there is a violation but there is something that has to be done within the democratic process to make sure that those who committed a violation in that office is democratically removed. also i think it is also important that when you talk about the oas and in this particular situation that there are 33 nations and we talk about democracy and it took them, it was over 24 hours in washington d.c. working and trying to come together as an organization in the democratic process to decide what to do with honduras and it is not just the united states acting in a unilateral manner as the president has said that the united stat

it has generated a buzz that has not happened here before. this is the plan at the center of it. his campaign for transparency and real democracy has struck a chord among kurds. >> the kurds have been holding their own elections since the early 1990's. since then, political life has been dominated, some would say stifled, by the two big parties. now they face their biggest challenge ever from reformist from within, making this the most exciting election they've ever held. >> the leader for years -- he says his calls for reform from within went unheeded. >> everything, in the parliament, in the cabinet, and the judicial. the financial corruption we have. although he is president of the truck, he has been campaigning for his own party. he knows the criticism is serious. >> i think there's still popular among the people. there are people -- they are people, like ordinary people, making mistakes of course. >> the change movement believes it could win enough seats to join with other opposition parties to block the majority enjoyed by the two big ones until now. many believe things her

the economic situation has been critical, it has improved marginally, not just because of a worldwide economic decision, but because i don't think that has -- it had an impact. it is more to do with the power sector in pakistan, and business activity, inflation, that is something else the government is trying to tackle, and to be fair to them, soon after elections, they did inherit a massive sector of problems to develop capacity. the drawback is, when all this is happening, fighting insurgencies and political stability, governance is suffering. it is badly needed. as we move to another relationship, we get more and more of the military institute's strength behind the democratically elected government, we should see the government to improve. comedienne and public opinion have talked about so far, they're very supportive, very positive, i hope it stays that way, but whichever way you look at it, the insurgency is going to stretch out for some time. the military, remaining involved, india, pakistan relations, so far, not moving forward. we are in for the long haul as far as stability a
