most importantly i think two big things are that secretary mavis' report is issued. there's some kind of a notion of the following governance or construct by which we will move into long-term recovery and there's a face associated with that. >> rose: thank you for coming. pleasure to have you on the broadcast. >> thank you. >> rose: we'll be right back. stay with us. >> rose: the united states senate has been called the world's greatest deliberative body. it has produced some of the country's finest leaders and crafted the most important laws but the senate is increasingly being called ineffective. congress approval rating is currently below 20% despite the passage of health care and financial reform. it has been criticized for the lack of bipartisan cooperation and for the growing influence of lobbyists. joining me now, george packer, he is a staff writer for the "new yorker" magazine and the author of a recent piece on if senate called "the empty chamber." also here at the table, william cohen. he represented maine the house and then in the senate from 1978 until 1

secretary made this -- mavis will be going with the president. he will meet with business and tourism leaders to discuss the impact that they see on their business because of the oil spill. the president will meet with those folks and have a chance to update the region on where we are, both from a relief well stand. -- obviously the weather will likely delay the well completion by a two or three days, but we anticipate that the work will continue over the weekend. it will be important for the president to talk about the next steps in bringing the region back. the primary. -- the primary point of the president's trip is to highlight -- obviously many of you know this because you traveled there -- tourism is the economic issue. those hotels along the beaches, the businesses that they support, and because of the spill, even places where oil did not wash ashore, it comes from the environment around the spill, seeing a huge contraction in their own business. the governor of florida specifically talk to the president and the first lady when they were d
