community meetin going one more time to the bloody school board meeting though i have done it three to imes before, boating, writing. you just listed out. literally, we could see on a multiple screen millions of americans are behaving that way every single day. behaving democratically. our challenge, and remember, i also told, the same americans are behaving uninformed, voting against their own interests when a different, strong signal is sent their way. so where should our efforts before reform at this point in time? not exhorting individuals so much to change their behavior. always inspiring them when we can pick by focusing on what are those systemic structure and process changes that we could be making today that would, in fa, support the abotion of erican democracy. you know, what are my personal favorites and not one i'm working on, but can you imagine that is us, it is us who is in the bottom in 11 countries around the world in terms of moving toward universal voter registration. we should be embarrassed, ashamed, go for it, but you can list your own favorite ones. the point is, and

individual investors watch what the market do what is is doing particularly twh much volatility-- volatile im but at down 14% with an 80% rally that preceded it is actually a fairly normal correction. it may get a little bit worse before it gets better here but in the context of history to see a 10 to 15% correction after an 80% rally 14 months into a bull market is actually fairly normal. >> well, what are you seeing-- you are talking about an anxious time. when you look at-- i know you look at things broadly. if you look at industries what does it tell you about what's keeping companies from making more hiring decisions at this point? >> you know, i think it's uncertainty. in fact lisa talked about the subsectors of the economy that are still creating jobs and that was an important point. but i also think if you look inside the employment numbers it's maybe sending an interesting message about what is plaguing businesses right now. because not only was there some hiring, not as much certainly as what expectations had built in but the average workweek extand-- expanded. average hourly-- went

i think it's fair to say that i often give republicans a hard time, but at the same ime, in the film "taxi to the dark side," some of the heroes of that film are republicans. so i tend to look at thinns from the point of view of a moralist. >> your father frank gibney, is he do, or what did he do for a living? >> my father frank gibney is no longer with us. he died a few years ago. he was a writer, an editor. he was vice chairman of the board of editors at britain ca. he worked at "time" and "newsday,, "life" magazine. he was a journallst. and during world war ii, he learned japanese as part of his experience to become an interrogator. that set him off as a journalist. he became the youngest bureau chief i think in tokyo. he had a big influence on me because he never lost his ability to be curious. >> from your documentary, here is jack abramoff and the college republicans. >> you can't get a 35-year-old to teach the republican party how to get to young people. you just can't rely upon it. young people have got to reach other young people, and that's what we're seeking to do. first o

and how mmch time couud you spend talking to im when you would drive out there? >> for me from newwjersey, it took about six hours, maybe a littte bit more. it's a long way. it's in a funny sliver of m.d. that -- maryland that is way west. it's a very antiseptic prison. it looks almost like a mini mall. as you go in, you go by some officers and you enter a visiting room area, which is a of them facing ach other. many they call the prisoner, the prisoner comes in, and you talk. i went and visited him a number of times, maybe three times, i believe, and each time talked with him for about wo or three hours. >> how would you describe his attitude about all this at this point? >> about all what? >> what's happened to him, the sentence he got. was it fair? the restitution, he has to give back $25 million? all that kind of thing. >> look, i think he felt victimized. but i also -- at least to me, he seemed very contrite. i think he felt he paid a heavy price.. so heavy. re that the price was you know, prison is not a nice place. and, you know, so -- but the way -- his p

this is not just a one--ime issue with general mcchrystal.has somewhat of a paatern of being a loose cannon, so i think he has backed the president into a corner. there are probably lots of other generals that could step right up and would not create the administration or the country, this kind of unfocused problem. the president needs to move on. he needs to thank general mcchrystal for his service in this position, but it is time to take a new direction and i think the president needs to fire this general and move on. host: also in the news this morning, on the backside of the front page of "the wall street journal" is a piece about remarks made yesterday by the majority leader in the house, steny hoyer, saying we need to look at raising taxes on the middle class if we are going to address the deficit issue. what do you think about that? you say you represent the middle-class. this is something you bring up in your new book. what do you think about democrats raising taxes on the middle class? guest: i think it is wrongheaded. i think it is

miller of north carolina and we didn't tell him we'd vote for im. i wish i could have it back. i wish i knew i was secretely in charge of the republican agenda. i wish i knew they wouldn't do anything unless i said they could but nobody told me. where were they when i needed thome to be more powerful. the republicans never checked with me as to what they were supposed to do. it's 2007, we did pass such a bill to restrict subprime lending and the wall street journal attacked us. they said it was a sarbanes-oxley for housing. sarbanes-oxley is about as nasty as you can get for "the wall street journal" and here's what they said about subprime lending in 2007. maybe that's what george bush expanded subprime lending. the "wall street journal" said in 2007, complaining about our will, for all the demonizing about 80% of even subprime loans are being paid on time and another 10% only 30 days behind. most new homeowners are low income families who would otherwise not have qualified for a mortgage. in the name of consumer protection, mr. frank's legislation will ensure that far fewer o

im sure they are ther we will learn more b talking to them and we might see some advantages that currently we are blind to. this is not a bush policy or an obama policy. it has been a consistent policy that we do not talk to terrorist groups or organizations. when i was in iraq we talked to anyone who would ttlk to us and we did not worry about labels. the influence we were ae to bring was a big help in winding down the insgency. i would like to see us be more creative n just in iraq but in lebanon and elsewhere in the rld. host: so you're ok with talking with the taliban. guest: i am ok with it. it does not mean confering recognition or anything else anymore than it meant talkkng with insurgent elements in barairaq. host: there is a story about rhee integrating some former detainees as the hdline risky experience that they consider redeemae. do you think it is a good idea? guest: we have to be adaptable in these battles situations. again, the individuals who are coordinating the effort in afghanissan, general mcchrystal, has been at this a long, long time with greatuccess i afghanistan an

so i tell my frie that the individual ims which you have just outlined areorthy of consideration, and asking the ameran public their recommendations is absoluty thright thing for us to do as democrat body. b let usot kid the people that we cannot -- that we can deal with thbudgetole that has been over the last eight years from surplus to deep deficit. sulus in 2001, deep deficit i2009 january 2009 is going to be solved by simply nibbling arouhe edg no tter how big osfigures sound, and they e big, but in the magnitude of the pbl that confronts us they will not get us to where we need to be. i thank the gentleman for giving me -- for yielding. mr. cantor: mr. speaker, thank the gentleman. i would say i hear the geneman that he thinks that contrition isot enough. i hear the gentleman who says that he and his de is to blame as well. and i think enough is enough about going backwards. the gentleman's heard me fore on the floor in these colloquys quote winston churchill. he said if we open a wall between the past and present we shall find that we have lost our future. and i will sayo the ge

mms, ims, fda, on and on.s americans we are living in a country where we assume that the alphabet soup of agencies are protecting us. that when you have a situation where an attorney has to go down three floors to use the xerox machine, or a situation in the department of defense where we do not have enough people auditing the and we are losing $4 million in gas on cap cards because we were not watching how the money was being spent, we have gone to the point of being ineffective through lack of funding. which is my concern. guest: you make a lot of good points. i would prefer a federal government that focuses on doing a few things well as opposed to a lot of things inefficient or mediocre. truly, i think that we have to look at the output of government and traditionally liberals have measured our commitment to something like education or health care by how much money be put into the system and not necessarily test scores and what is coming out of the education system. wellness and well-being coming out of hea

im sickest city. i am honored to be -- i am ceo of a city mortgage. am honored to be speaking with you today. we want to help families stay in their homes. as one recent example, we became the first major lender to announce a moratorium on mortgage foreclosures in the gulf coast region. our goal is to help families that in hard hit by the devastating will spill to remain in their homes. we are focused on a couple of priorities -- working hard to make the program as successful as possible and providing solutions to distressed farmers that have fallen out of this process. our focus has produced significant results. we are consistently ranked among the top performances had more than 900,000 families in their efforts to avoid foreclosure. we know that this process can be somewhat complicated. we have tried to make it easier for our customers. we have given them the still training. we have added more than 1400 new employees to support our foreclosure prevention efforts. we have an impressive in ever processing systems so they can live view their applicatio

so it's very important to regulate better across-the-board, and therefore one final point that's why imalways suspicious or nervous about a rule that is focused on a meaure that is hard coded because the system is very flexible and we will figure out a way around anything that is hard coded. with that, i will stop. >> thanks, mark. john? >> thanks, alex. this is -- i feel a bit like a teacher here, because i've learned more thai will be able to in part as te final spaker. and please, don'tassume because i'm the final speaker i'm going to wrap it all up, because i'm certainly not. there's three points i want to make about bubbl. having been in the middle of the financial markets for the last 20 years, after having spent ma years as an economist, but me briefly mention the points. first of all, bubbles will always be with us as well the dream of effortless wealth and enhancement because that is what bubbles are about. bubbles are in accelerating. people go home after a bubble. you are on the planet next to them a remember in the dot com goebel sties i would hear about it started with 20,0

im wh the opportunity agda. thank you very much to mention values.e are a values driven organization what i wanted to a you to is -- i am sitting herwith my iend of four years. i really wanted to ask a question that i think will drive the election and our progressive enda going forward. i would like tknow from the two of you, how do you plan to handle the issue of race? is a subtext of a lot of conservative policies. they do not talk about it ad . they use coat -- codeords as "unelectable." i will broaden it up a little bit to talk about the difficulties or if you have any ideas how to add progressives -- how progresses can talk about race in the age of obama. thank you [applause] . -- [applause >> i do not think we have a magisolution. race and code words around racism have been used again themor a long time. we only ow how toall in and out when we see it. we need to actuallyave that certain things in our democracy or rigid are acceptable. ey have made it easier. we needed the tea parties to raise our ugly heads to make this easier. we have no solut
