right now they're still nice and calm for the greater bay area but starting to pick up in the north bay. sustained wind speed at 6 miles per hour. 5 miles per hour nav tato. for usalking about the warmest day we've had in months. warmest of the year so far -- 78, almost 80 degrees in morgan hilda. 75 in evergreen. 72 in danville. 73 degrees in walnut creek staying nice and mild right at the coast. 66 degrees at half moon bay. you could hit the beach today. you could wear a tank top in the middle of winter. 76 degrees by tomorrow. staying just about as warm. we'll get plenty of sunshine but start to drop off on friday. take a look at the drop-off between thursday and saturday, almost a 15-degree difference. you will notice the clang so enjoy the sunshine while it lasts and the warmth because things cool down as of this weekend. we get a few showers late sunday, into monday. that will mostly be up in the north bay but i think everywhere will get a little bit of a sprinkle as we wake up monday morning. >> we'll zip right back to the city. heading into or through the city -- just off the central freeway we still have issues for power and for signals along the area.

mike lee of utah joins us. nice to have you, sir. we like your music. e appreciate you joining us. >> thank you. >> let's not get to that first. let's talk about the race first and the victory and look at some of the exit poll numbers. we will get to obama's appointments in a minute. tea party, strongly support the tea party went for newt gingrich in the state of florida. mitt romney came in only at 33%. i'm wondering if your take is, listen, this could be a problem for mitt romney or is it down the road anybody versus president obama is going to get the support of those strong tea partiers? which is it? >> i would go more toward the latter of the statements. any republican who gets the nomination is going to have the enthusiastic support of all republicans, most americans, and the overwhelming majority of tea party supporters. it's interesting, 2/3 of those who voted in florida's presidential primary identified themselves as those who support the tea party. mitt romney still won by a margin of about 15 points. but, look, regardless, the tea party is all

us. >>> nice football but. >> lauren, let me start but. the administration previewed its budget. are there any surprises in the formal release we didn't already know about? >> the initial reaction was fairly muted, vago, but that's because the administration rolled out its new posture on january 3 and budget priorities on january 26th. so they sort of telegraph what was coming. however, this is a very big shift. there's winners, there's losers, there's a new emphasis in terms where our focus will in the future, and i think for a lot of us the note most worthy thing that was surprising was how many weapons, programs are cut. i'm not saying they're huge, but there's a lot of them. >> mckenzie? >> i think the air force is the biggest -- and dramatically so. >> even though the conventional wisdom is the army was the biggest bill payer and they benefitted? >> that's right. it's largely a hidden cut, but the navy and the army are going to be buying more aircraft over the next five years in the united states air force by a factor, a significant factor, so i think when we're talking abou

good to have you with us. nice and early. i'm frank mallicoat. >> it's very early. i'm grace lee. it is 4:30 in fact. >>> we begin with a berkeley police officer who is in the hospital after he was pinned between two cars. that officer suffered hand injuries as well and leg injuries. it happened when the officer was trying to arrest a man at grove and center in castro valley. anne makovec is in castro valley where the busy intersection was closed for hours for this investigation. good morning to you, anne. >> reporter: good morning. good news for morning commute is the intersection is open but officers were here for much of the night. that is after this all happened at around 5:00 yesterday evening. an undercover berkeley police officer was in the silver car that you can see there hailing a suspect in the maroon car when officers were on grove way near center street they decided to arrest him at the stop light. officers say the suspect then backed up his vehicle pinning the berkeley officer between the two cars. other officers then surrounded the cars, one armed with an assault ri

they're going to try to get rid of assad using nice words. i agree i mean and i disagree with aiden in terms of the idea that the responsibility to protect has had no effect or is insignificant or doesn't change anything politically legally i think it does and it does so for the worse if you take for it i mean while it's true that great powers have always been able to have their own way i don't see in the past they don't see that that's an argument for abolishing whatever legal barriers stand in their way to make intervention easier and having those legal barriers and political barriers in place is one way of making it easier to hold power to account rather than allowing for the last restrained and unaccountable exercise of power by the permanent five members of the security council or by any other large major military power so i do think the responsibility to protect and along the lines that you said in relation to what happened in libya were a mandate for civilian protection gave enormous scope for the nato powers to effectively mount a cam

. >> susie: our washington bureau chief has been following the story and joins us now. nice to have you with us. >> good to be here. >> susie: all right, so so much debate on this topic. so how much does this help the economy and how much does it hurt the deficit? >> reporter: well, a few deficit hawks, the budget hawks are very vocal crew, but they are often ignored. they're complaining today that this has 90 billion dollar to its deficit. now if you have got 15 trillion dollars in national debt you might say 90 billion dollars, hey, that's not that much. but the deficit hawks are saying the signal it accepteds is that both parties joined hands and ignored the deficit. so that's their certain. on the economy it's probably best thought of as an insurance policy. it helps out. >> susie: well, how does it help consumers? i mean with more money in their pockets, will this tax cut make consumers more confident? will they spend more? >> reporter: really well, susie, how are you going to feel if you don't have to hear the headlines and we don't have to sit here every night saying

us. >> nice to be back with you. >> can you characterize the quarter for us? >> very strong on the top line. we were really pleased with not only the 4% overall but 5% growth in the united states which i think is a bit of a positive outlier. we are very strong in the u.s. across all of our business lines. and you know, i think when you look at the categories that we competed in, we are starting to see the categories come back. a so with a combination of our innovation, we feel very good abthe top line performance. >> i guess the categories coming back is reflective of people spending more money on products out there. do you feel like the consume ser once again feeling healthy? >> i think we still have a fragile consumer. clearly they are feeling a bit better. certainly that bodes well for our categories and we are starting to see the environments come back. our innovation is much stronger today. we will trend to probably north of 3% growth from just innovation. >> investors want to know what you will do about declining gross margins. >> we anticipate a slight

karl rove joins us. nice to see you. >> great to see you. >> greta: first of all, the fight over contraception ttt we were talking about today and yesterday, couple more days but come november this is going to have zero impact on 2012 sore this a big issue? >> this is big issue. biggest group of swing voters in the electorate are catholics. they represent 25 of the electorate. any presidential election, catholics tend to go with the winner. bush won them in 2000, 2004 and obama won them in 2008. it's been this way for decades. this is essentially the federal government has taken the stance that the catholic church must offer insurance coverage to its employees of all the schools, churches, foundations, charitable institutions, insurance coverage on contraception including the after morning pill that runs directly counter to the church's teachings. i'm astonished the president does not recognize there ought to be a play in public square for religious institutions to live by the moral precepts that under gordon
