here is the white board. i checked today. $67.40 billion is all that has been spent today out of the $787 billion stimulus package. that is 8% of the total. if we got the economy growing by spending $67.40 billion, why did we have to appropriate $787 billion? and i keep love in the way they talk about the shovel-ready projects. only 5% of the total amount of spending is devoted to those so- called shovel-ready projects, a pittance, and remember this. they said if you do nothing, unemployment is going to be 8%, if we do nothing. well, it is 9.5% after doing this. now, i grant you, the economy is going to heal itself, but no country has spent its way to prosperity. it is an attempt to buy of liberal legislators by letting them have their most favored legislation put into law. sean: we see declining poll numbers. we see declining support on obama care. we see the stimulus not working, as your board points out. he is involved in this situation with the professor at harvard. why is he declining?

the white house say we can't keep trusting your word on this? >> there have been reports that the senate democratic leadership has asked senator baucus to stop trying to bring republicans on board. but clearly, the white house is doing what it can to bring republicans onboard. the president also met with senator snowe, corker -- they're trying to play every card. >> you're website has an article about obama getting feisty, about the president no longer reading his speeches. we saw that fiery species, governor corzine there, what is the tone here? how is this president obama different from the guy talking about health care a few weeks ago, not realizing that maybe the republicans were getting, their words were hitting more with the american public? >> most of his speeches are still calm and deliberate. we hear him from the white house and rose garden, but there are these moments like we heard this week where he veers off course and knocks his critics, calls him cynics and nay sayers why he has to solve problems. it sounds like he's a little bit frustrated. >> speaking of frustrated, rahm emanuel and david axelrod both said that this white house is willing to push through reform

the white house is doing to target democrats on the fence over health care. >> to the white house is playing hardball with democrats that are not totally on board with the president's health care plan. the democratic party is trying to put the squeeze on democrats. it does not call lawmakers by name, but as it -- but it does help if folks call washington. the idea? make sure the pres the there are moments in time when the paths we take do determine our future. today we are communicating with each other as never before - and that requires a seamless network that is constantly growing better, smarter, and more secure. that's why our se ntistsand engineers in our labs, are taking the fastest technology in the world and making it mobile, better and faster - to keep pushing the internet further than anyone dreamed. last year alone we invested more in building america's future than any other company - improving and expanding our network, to keep you in control. and behind the scenes, that takes work by our employees, who pride themselves knowing, that because they do it right, you might not even notice. if all of that, makes your connections, faster and more secure... we

the entire wart old great game, right? one chess board. and the war's being fought on both sides. and the taliban are on all sides of the board. but we've got the whiteieces. we're being kept to our side. we're not likely to win that way, as you've seen with the operations in helmand province, as the u.s. has been engaging, the afghani fighters have melted away. we can do some protection of the population. i think that will work. and you can help to shore up karzai and whofrt future presidents of afghanistan as the mayor of kabul, but that is very different from actually coming up with the sort of progress that would be required to allow for a long-term support internationally. the u.s. and europe, to continue this thing. that's probably not going to happen. >> made a very important point here that the taliban and their allies, including al qaeda, are fighting a traditional guerrilla war based on the mayo model, which is when the enemy is strong, retreat. when the enemy gets strung out, harass. when the enemy gets weak, attack. so the marines who i think have done an outstanding job in hel province. they're very well trained. they put the emphasis mo

the request of this white house. so the democratic national committee in six states where there are centrist democrats are running ads with the tag line senators, it's time, meaning it's time to get on board health care reform. well, essentially then, the white house is paying for advertisements by its own political organization to encourage, some might say, really campaign against senate democrats who have yet to fully get on board the president's vision of health care reform. so i guess when the president said he was going to break down all barriers of partisan politics, maybe this is what he was talking about. shepard: this thing is in trouble, isn't it? >> the president said in the rose garden today, shepard, we need to buck each other up. that's pretty remarkable to say when the president has the largest majority in the senate of democrats and the largest majority of the house of democrats that any democrat has had since lyndon johnson. he has a loft votes but he hasn't pulled them together yet. he says for the next three weeks, he will talk about health care reform constantly. shepard: major garrett live in the front yard there. major, thanks. an update now on the late afternoon sho

she came out and said that i was the one in the speech that pointed out that it was nine white men who decided brown bears the boardoard of education. she said the judge cedarbaum has pointed out to her that cases coming from judges of white males have been favorable for minorities. but she would argue that people that have changed the landscape for civil rights were largely people of color and women. is that directly contrary to what she said to the senate? >> absolutely. maybe it was white men that decided the case, but it was people of gender and color that argued the case. it gets back to the issue of identity politics. i have to say that in that area, especially in the ricci case, i felt that senator corn andn had nin had a missed opportunity. we had a better job of explaining it. a case that most americans can understand and sympathize with, the ricci case. a bunch of white firefighters the did very well on the promotional exam, blacks did not do well, so the city threw out because they claim that they would get a discrimination case. it seems to me that i would say, explain to these people why you ruled the

republicans are demanding that the white house release documents involving judge sotomayor and a group that defended puerto rican terrorists in 1990. sotomayor served on the group's boardf directors from 1980 to '92. the white house claims the documents are not relevant to her confirmation. fox news legal analysts believe they are. do you want them to release everything? >> absolutely. what we're trying to determine is bias. there is a reason lady justice is blindfolded with scales. you don't want someone on the supreme court, lifetime appointment, that could be the swing vote, and we have already seen how close it gets. stuart: but bias can be determined as an opinion. judge sotomayor has probably, at her time in the puerto rican legal defense education fund, has probably expressed an opinion on affirmative action, bilingual education, and the rest of it. what's wrong with expressing an opinion? >> opinions are driving the ultimate decision, and is blinding a justice from making a rational decision based on legal precedent. that's problematic. that's what is so critical here. actually, just last week, the u.s. supreme court overturned one of her affirmative action cas

amid confusion among dealers on whether the program has been suspended, the white house says it hasn't. >>> the board expects a gradual recovery for the u.s. economy, now that the sharpest declines have ended. there is agreement on the major issues in a tax fight with the u.s. government. that's cnbc.com news now. i'm courtney reagan.. >>> good morning, and welcome to "the call," everyone.. happy friday.. we can see the market is doing pretty well here, up 35 points after that better than expected gdp number. it could be on track to have at least the best july since 1989. potentially, the best july since 1939. and melissa, larry is here to miss it. >> that's right. he is missing it. i'm melissa francis. larry kudlow is off today. jpmorgan chase's chief economist bruise kazman came out with a call, and we're going to have him live. also, the house is planning to pass a $2 billion bill to keep the cash for clunkers program alive. we'll have the very latest from washington and discuss whether it will indeed have a positive economic impact.t. we have a jam-packed show. this is "the call" on cnbc. >>> all

the white house. aarp has to be on board with this. they want seniors to support this plan. speak for all seniors, what is ththe white house and lain for? >> robert gibbs says this continues to campaign for health care reform. he says the president will continue to have a campaign for health care reform until he has a bill designed to give the aarp is a huge group of senior citizens in this country. their influence is huge. the white house feels like they want older americans on board with this. there's a lot of concern with older people in america about how this may impact of their health care. will there health care diminished as a result of health care reform? we expect the president to take questions from aarp members. megyn: the president got an endorsement from the american medical association. then we started to hear from a bunch of doctors but the ama should not a looked at as a group that stands for what all doctors want. is this similar to the aarp and seniors? >> the group is huge, 40 million people. it has deep pockets. there are people who will say it has a liber

the white house and the press. the press is dependent on the board house for information. -- the white house for information. the white house has its own sense of the story that it wants to tell. that is very different from the situation that bruce reed mentioned. president bush was described in the media as the filter. how did your white house think of the press and how to manage that two-way street? had he earned respect of the media by playing by their rules, and using it to achieve purposes that the white house needed? >> we still a page from president clinton from -- about leaking nuggets before we went in. we use the get the heck out of washington effectively. you often got much more favorable responses in a regional media in a big and small cities, taking members of congress along. i would say that the bulk of the sales job on policy was done not in washington, but out in the country. >> if you look at press coverage, the viewership of local news is higher than the viewership of national news. do you target particular news people? >> sure. it was not particular people so much as particular places we k

does that suggest irrespective of the effort to get the various groups on board and what damage that may cause that the white house, the democrats have a huge pr problem right now, if more people think that a public option will make things worse than better, then they're not making the sale. are they? >> david, there are two public relations problems. one is a public option. public option means an option. everybody can still keep their private insurance if they want but if for some reason the opponents, republicans who would not like to see anything accomplished they have created the impression in the public's mind or enough of the public to raise a big question mark that the public option is not an option, it is actually a government takeover. the second public relations problem is this business of cho w.h.o.'s going to pay and how much is it going to cost and last week, the congressional budget office inconveniently for the president came out with a statement and analysis showing the major bills coming out of the hill right now would cost over $1 trillion and they would not contain health care costs in the

the president is up against some democrats who are skeptics. he hoped to get some republicans on board. he had some down to the white house to discuss this. the vote before the health committee was along party lines, 13-10. matt brock, abc 7 news. >> you can see much more of abc boss interview with president obama next hour on open " good morning america." >>> joe biden will be talking about health care reform in alexandria this afternoon. the focus will be on how the proposed overhaul will affect senior citizens. >>> be aware of the next time you head to the atm. annapolis police are looking for at least two men in connection with a skimming scam. police say the suspects attached a device to the atm to capture debit card and pin numbers. the use that information to make purchases in england. >> you think that atms are safe. >> the only need to get five or six customers using the thing. it is not like it will be there for a long time. >> the parrot is suspected in a similar attack -- the pair is suspected in a similar attacks. police say cover your hands while you are keying in your opion. >> you have to think about it. we have 72 degrees

why we have not heard more about this transportation bill is largely because the white house is not on board with it, which is a point of frustration for oberstar. >> we are ready to take it to the floor. >> why is the white house not billing with this? >> i do not know. we need 18 months to study the issues. >> he believes the time is now for this particular bill, which she has described as a second stimulus. megyn: you have virtually every member of congress working on health care and trying to find a way to pay for a $1 trillion health care plan. now he wants another half a trillion in spending on transportation? how does he plan to pay for this? >> it would be over six years, and he had provided a list of suggestions including an array of taxes and fees, including increasing the gasoline tax. there is a container tax, free shipping tax, a national car registration fee. there is a whole array. that is in the hands of the ways and means committee, but it is likely those items that is causing the white house not to support this bill. and you also have the health care battle. they would prob

>> the argument the white house has always made that and had more competition and you managed to get more efficiency across the board you could lower costs in the long term. the cbo has blown that up. they've done an initial analysis of the house bill. there's going to be about 820 billion dollars in new taxes most on families and small businesses even with that, they are still going to be another 250 billion dollars of more deficit spending over the next 10 years. even then that doesn't count in the fact both of these bills are designed to hide a lot of costs that are going to come up front and only kick in toward the end of the bill. what we are looking at is trillions in new spending. >> i'm going to house democrats credit for one thing by putting this tax increase on the table 5.4% surtax they've showed people this is not going to be a free lunch. that somebody going to have to pay. they claim it is only going to be the wealthy to the tune of 550 billion dollars. but this thing is going be enormously expensive. >> yeah, all government health programs start small and grow over time. >> the experience with medicar

white men. across the board, he was doing well. i think with a consistent note in this polling, something we saw very clearly in our own poll, that obama is still strong among the core groups that elected him last fall. young people, hispanics, african-american, college-educated white women. but he has rolled back and lost ground among groups that preferred mccain last year, but were kind of kicking the tires in the first month of this presidency. and the big reason, i think, if you look at this polling, and certainly as it relates to health care is questions about the amount of money he's spending, the programs, whether the stimulus money is effective. >> and one of the things that comes up in the nbc/"wall street journal" poll is that 47% of people with their own private insurance thinks that health care is a bad idea. and the president does have to sell this to 90% of the people that do have some kind of health insurance. they're afraid to give up what they've got. >> from the beginning, there have been annals that correctly poi

. >>> coming up, what does the white house need to do to get the right players on board with health care? we'll be asking democratic political consultant bob shrum and msnbc political analyst pat buchanan. they'll weigh in next on "andrea mitchell reports." stay with us. ♪ on this endless ocean ♪ finally lovers know no shame ♪ ♪ watching in slow motion ♪ as you turn to me and say ♪ take my breath away (announcer) ge locomotives. customers love them almost as much as we love making them. ♪ my love (announcer) innovation today for america's tomorrow. >>> the house and the senate are pushing forward with talks right now to move the president's health care agenda. but there are a number of sticking points, namely how to pay for such sweeping changes and what to do about the protracted recession and its impact. let's bring in bob shrum, msnbc political analyst, pat buchanan. welcome both. bob, to you first, because just now, ken strickland, our own senator producer has just notified us that a bipartisan group of senators are now asking for more time. and this is -- there's some big names here

we're hearing some in the white house say they may do health care without the republicans coming on board's start with the bipartisanship grade that you gave. >> i'd give the president and the administration is b plus/a minus. i think on some of the most significant issues we faced in the first six months, you're talking about an administration that walked into a series of unprecedented crises. they have tried to involve republicans on the stimulus. they have tried to involve republicans on health care. fortunately, what you have seen is a consistent pattern from the republicans and the republican party not to offer a single new idea that doesn't start with the word "no," and that is i think part of the problem with bipartisanship. if there's one thing i think you have to say or maybe you can argue is the president and the administration may be trying too much and too hard to be bipartisan. maybe they don't need to be. >> ben, go ahead. >> please. >> did i hear you say please? >> i would say that we've seen president obama pay lip service, like you said, but i think he's done nothing but

because i pointed out in the speech that eight, nine white men had decided brown versus board of education. and i noted in a separate paragraph of the speech that no one person speaks in the voice of any group. so my rhetorical flourish, just like hers, can't be read literally. it had a different meaning in the context of the entire speech. >> but, judge, she said a wise man and a wise woman would reach the same conclusion. you said that a wise latina woman would reach a better conclusion than a male counterpart. what i'm confused about, are you standing by that statement or are you saying that it was a bad idea, and you -- are you disavowing that statement? >> it is clear from the attention that my words have gotten and the manner in which it has been understood by some people that my words failed. they didn't work. the message that the entire speech attempted to deliver, however, remains the message that i think justice o'connor meant, the message that prior nominees, including justice alito meant, when he said that his italian ancestry -- he considers when he's deciding discrimination c

speaking at the white house in the rose garden today, the president urged them to get on board with the landmark legislation. today, the senate health committee became the first congressional panel to approve the plan. but it is still facing several hurdles, including tough criticism from republicans. also in healthwatch every year, thousands of americans need a liver transplant. unnrntdly -- unfortunately, many patients don't survive. an experimental machine is giving some patients another chance. >> darius rejuta is one of those patients. he desperately needed a transplant. and although a donor liver was found in another state, it wouldn't arrive in time to save him. >> so all is well? >> yeah. >> reporter: doctors say 33- year-old darius rejuta is lucky to be alive. >> he was this close to being dead. >> reporter: this was darius, tree months -- three months ago. his liver had started to fail with no warning. >> i didn't feel anything. no pain, nothing. >> reporter: he slipped into a coma, and doctors couldn't figure out why. >> to this day, we don't know what caused his liver to fai

of what we seattle gwen: but we've also seen the president and white house trotting out people and hospitals and insurers and basically saying they're on board, you get on board too. is that working? >> you saw most notably in the house senator henry waxman saying i'm not bound by those deals. gwen: right. >> on the other hand they are neutralizing some of the opposition to some extent. that can be helpful down the road. gwen: ok. another domestic priority got caught up in charge and countercharge this week. the charge -- with the nation's jobless rate headed toward 10%, the president's job-creating stimulus package has not worked. >> i think that we've got major credibility crisis here. no man in the world would get on a ship or ship of state and follow this navigation for the future. gwen: the -- the countercharge -- the plan was not supposed to work this fast, give it time, give it time. >> look where we were six months ago when we took office. we inherited the largest economic crisis since the 1930's. what i refer to as not the great depression but the great recession because it was the single greatest recession we've had in modern times

the "crisis" magazine. he always had enemies on the board. he and walter white, a black man running it, hated each other. that is only way you could put it. dubois wrote essay on field and function of negro colleges as we say today, historically black colleges and he said that since the goalposts of civil rights movement appeared to be receding remember, it is 1934. it is great depression. and he had been trying to get federal antilynching bill in the congress and congress never passed that. since the goalposts of the civil rights movement appear to be receding perhaps it would-be who have the negro to develop separate social, political economic and cultural institutions until the dream of integration could occur. ran counter of ideology of naacp then. probably runs count tir to the ideology of naacp today. so they fired him in 1934. he threw himself trying to get this project off the ground. couldn't raise any money. wrote to eleanor roosevelt. federal works project administration, feller foundation, general education board. nobody would give him any money for this frivolous thing, editing a encyclopedi

tavis: with the white teenage fathers, in some instances, their parents were pushing for an alternative. does that mean adoption or talking the mother into a boarding child? no. 2, how did the teenage father proceed? -- does that mean adoption or abortion? >> yes, and yes. they were encouraging both in both examples. tavis: how did the boys handle that? >> well, one of the boys absolutely said, no, i want to take responsibility. i think probably the gut reaction of somebody hearing about a teenager who gets a girl pregnant, their first response is get rid of it. this teenager said, no, i will take the responsibility. this is something i did and i want to be there for my child. the parents came down with the whole dose of reality, said it you do not know how difficult it is going to be. also, when you are a teenager, is not uncommon for teenagers to be stubborn and very steadfast and resolute and really want to show their parents that they can do it, and they want to prove it the other people. the had a determination that really trumped any reality they had not yet discovered. tavis: what fascinated me about these teenage boys and father could, the

the white house in this case, after it fired him, released a statement saying mr. walpin was confused, and disoriented at a boardeeting in may, and persons at the meeting continued, quote, to question his capacity to serve, but notes obtained by foxnews.com from that meeting in may show that while mr. walpin's behavior was mentioned in those notes, board members may have been more concerned about mr. walpin's accusations against them, and mr. walpin said they had an "anything goes" attitude with your federal dollars and the board did not like the contentious relationship it had with the guy who was charged with inspecting them. mr. walpin also had threatened to escalate his call for a deeper probe into the mayor, kevin johnson's case. a congressional ses gator told foxnews.com that it was clear that the board sought mr. walpin's ouster because of hurt feelings and professional friction, not diminished mental ka fas t.i. after the white house -- capacity. after the white house said mr. walpin was confused, glenn put that test to him in the studio. glenn: i'm going to give you the state. this is the state examinat

. >> julie: so does the white house have a handle on the problem. >> or sit back to the drawing board? let's bring in two congressmen, republican and democratic. david axelrod and says that the white house is prepared for a second stimulus package if necessary but they are going to wait until fall. then the vice president as we just heard that the administration misread how bad the economy was. congressman fleming let me go to you first, does do they have a handle on the magnitude of the situation corlgs to you? >> well, i don't think so julie. the republicans in congress, not a single house member voted for this crazy stimulus package and only three seniors from the republican party did. one of those changed to the democratic party. this comes as no surprise to we republicans who are in congress. >> julie: congressman green, do you agree? >> i don't expect someone to say stimulus is going to work. the solution from my republican colleagues, to sit on on our hands i think it would have been worse. i have a copy of the houston kron catholic of the amount of the money, construction, hig

the incident. barack obama was not on board in april when the head of the house military -- white house limiry office organized a flyover. the outrage over the flyover cost him his job. >>> michael vick revised bankruptcy plan can be sent to creditors for a vote. that is the decision of a virginia judge after no one raised objections. vick proposed selling off me assets and giving creditors a bigger cut of the averages, although the source of the earnings is up in the air. the until conditionally re- enstated vick but he's looking for a job still after several -- they're not interested. >>> police in dale city arrested two people for setting up deals on craig's list and robbing the unsuspecting buyer when is they showed up. they lured two victims with lia ad for a tv. when the buyers arrived, they were robbed at gun point. the suspects got cash from one victim and cell phone and car keys from another. the robbers happened last week. >>> job-seeking scams are on the rise. there are a few new red flags to watch out for and make sure that you're not a victim. fox's chris cotter has details. >> reporter:

the american medical association board. one year ago the new york times called her an angel in a white coat. her nonprofit clinic was rebuilt by volunteers after being destroyed by hurricane katrina, only to burn down months later. >>> and now to a developing story. the nats enter the all-star break with the worst record at 26-61 and manny acta has been fired. and dave ross is live at the field. it was made official thorn morn -- this morning. >> it had been mored and it is official. after 2.5 years manny acta is out as the nat's skipper. he was told his fate late last night after the team returned following 59-0 loss in houston. acta's final record is 252 losses and they were on pace to lose upwards of 110 games. but acta had nothing but good things to say about his time in washington. and i quote, i thank the nationals forgiving me this opportunity. i'm sorry things didn't work out as expected. it's normal when the manager pays the price when the team is not doing well. so who is next? well, that will be jim rigleman, the nats bench coach. in about 20 minutes from now he will be the third
