i assume in the hampton speech, he is putting on a persona he doesn't normally up on to pander to the crowd. but who knows. either way, it's a remarkable exhibit of falseness on display. there is no other explanation -- i would say this about any politicians? >> i go back to al gore, he went before a predominantly african-american audience and went into preacher mode and the republicans have the wrong agenda -- they don't even want to count nut census. hillary did the same thing herself. but we have -- we have the accent. we have anger. they don't care as much about you. also -- [overlapping dialogue] >> not to our neighborhoods. >> sean: so, what do you conclude? >> look, i conclude that this -- well, i am not exactly sure is the truth. i am not god. i can't read obama's mind or look into hotdogs soul. but it seems to me, this is a case of extreme pandering. he is talking to an audience in a way he thinks resonates with them and he is also using fear to motivate them. the core of this speech, a very simple message. the federal government doesn't like you because you are black. imagin

the first of a speech then senator barack obama gave back in hampton, virginia, in 2007. the conservative website "daily collar" says it, "obama's other speech. the barely recognizable obama." claims government spends too much on suburbs, not quote, our earlier neighborhood. here now with remarks on how response to hurricane katrina differed from hurricane andrew and for 9/11 attacks. >> down in new orleans where they have not rebuild a year later, there's money you can get from the government called the staff ford act. and basically it says when you get federal money, you have to give a 10% local match. the government has to come up with 10%. every $10 federal government comes up with, local government has to come up with a dollar. now here's the thing, when 9/11 happened in new york city, they waved the safford act saying we can't ask new york city to rebuild. they said, here's $10 and that was the right thing to do. when hurricane andrew struck in florida, people said, look at this devastation. we don't expect you to come up with your own money. here's the money to rebu

britain and dominion power, the majority of the outages are in the hampton roads area of virginia. ia dominion power. the numbers will continue to rise as the storm gets closer to our area. we are keeping a close eye on any of the power situations. we will continue updating you on air and online. >> thank you. 5:27, 51 degrees. we have more news at 5:30. >> we continue live team coverage of sandy's impact up and down the east coast. this is a live picture of alexandria of the rain coming down. the win is ok right now, but it will be picking up a anncr: it's said that character is what we do... when we think no one is looking. mitt romney: believe that they are victims. anncr: mitt romney thought no one was looking when... he attacked forty-seven percent of americans. his companies shipped jobs overseas. his plan cuts millionaires' taxes, but raises yours. he'll voucherize medicare... and make catastrophic cuts to education. so remember what romney said... and what his plan would do. president obama: i'm barack obama and... i approve this message. >> live and in hd, this is "good mor

we have flooded roads in the hampton roads region that's where virginia beach in norfolk is. have the eastern part of the state that is beginning to feel the effects of the storm with flooded roads mainly along our secondary roads and we have wind advisory as well, too. >>> what should they do? >> we are telling people to stay put to stay at home and don't travel as much as possible. state and federal offices are closed today so that's really going to help beat out so if we get out in the roads today we are already doing that we are clearing debris right now. we are telling people to stay put to stay at home and limit their travels as much as possible. >> a lot of people are seeing cars strapped and stranded and accidents on the road. >> there have been some accidents but we passed fairly minor flooding on the roadways mainly on the secondary roads. we don't have any closures on the interstates or on our tunnels and bridges at the time. >> thank you for joining us this morning. >> just a few minutes before 4:00 hurricane sandy is shaking up to be a monster storm. it could end

for defense spending the southeastern portion of the state a lot of ship building, 45 percent of the hampton roads area of the economy comes from defense spending, so romney may have lost it on the pocy tre but he m ha e pitics right in terms of his defense spending, i would circle back o the issue of women. the number of time they both talked about rights for women in the middle east they kept come back to that and there was clearly an effort to go for women when they went into that, into that cull again sack on domestic, cul-de-sac on domestic policy they went back to. when romney talked about bipartisan solution and in massachusetts on education that was sort of a three for on the panderg to women frt, ther was a lot of mess sick in domestic .. a lot of domestic politics embedded into what was supposed to be a foreign policy debate. >> rose: mark and john, how are the romney people spinning this after the debate? >> well, they executed their plan, some of our colleagues disagree with the plan, they executed the plan they wanted to, both candidates were trying to do what they always try, b

. >> no, but my point is i w referencing the speech that he alsoave to the hampton ministers conference. here's t deal, yu talk abou the ou of money spent on the gulf coast. first of all, new orleans and gulf coast, that's alaba and mississipp o have any impact of the selection? absolutely not. this is something more than seaz hannity's inactuation with reverend jeremiah right. >> roy watkins, is there significance to this, do you lieve? >> i tnk the's no materl significance ere, but the puicans are very goodt taking nothi and turning into what apars to be something. we he to remember we live ina countrthat has forever been egical disee of racism. and it doesn't take much to spark that back up. if you look at what prident obama is saying, of course white politicians uldn't say what saying becauseafricaamericans history in this count have a history of documented discrimination thais, in fact, unniable. so when you look a what happened to katrina, anybody in rightheir mind would say, yes, there's some disparity there and any president, whi or black, nshouthe disparity, not as a criticism

county it is all of the way out on the very eastern end of long island it encompasses the area of the hamptonsany people are familiar with that. as folks in your community wake up they want to go outside and assess the damage. is that considered to be safe at this point? >> they have to be extremely careful. we have up rooted trees. however you also still have winds that are 30, 40, 50 miles per hour. so with a saturated ground you can still have more up rooting trees. i would caution residents to be very careful as they go and assess the damage on the property. they can feel free to reach out to our suffolk county emergency call center which is 631-852-4900 if they are desiring to have information. i also ask residents if you see downed power lines assume they are live don't go near them. >> that is such an important point. assume the power lines are live. you don't want to come in contact with that. vanessa from county of emergency management where thousands of people are finding themselves without power. >> there are dozens of homes under water. good morning to you. >> good morning. tell us

anywhere from three to five feet as you get to norfolk and the hampton bays area, about one to three feet. rainfall going to be a big problem out of this system, too. over the next 24 hours, from norfolk down to charleston, we could see anywhere from 4 to 8 inches of rain. now let's look at the path of this system. right now, we expect it to regain strength later today, on into late tonight, and become a category 1 storm. it will continue to parallel the coast by sunday morning. by sunday afternoon, it's along the coast of cape hatteras, and then it gets ready to make a turn and come inland, and make its way in to the northeast somewhere. somewhere around -- anywhere from new jersey to long island. now, why is it going to do this? this is really unusual. well, we have the steering currents in the upper atmosphere. the jet stream, in a deep trough digging down. and as that trough starts to what we call negatively tilt, it is going to pull sandy closer in to the eastern seaboard. and that's where the trouble is going to begin. here's the other problem. the model, we look at these models

i haven't been to the hamptons since 1995. i get cooler every year. >> i was lying. i don't get invited to anything. >> tragic. >> this was a twitter moment. this is mitt romney's binder full of women. >> we took a concerted effort to find women who had backgrounds who could be qualified to be members of our cabinet. i went to a number of women's groups and said can you help us find folks? i found binders full of women. >> he could have said it better, right. but what he was saying is he hires a lot of women. >> that's a lie. that's an absolute lie. he was trying to say that. the fact of the matter is the percentage of women during his tenure actually declined. he was trying to say massachusetts has a great history of always hiring women in these positions. romney just fell into it. the whole binder comment was a lie. they presented him with a bunch of stuff, resumes. he didn't ask for it and they weren't in a binder. it went from 30% to 20% and then up to 33 when he was out of office. >> who is counting? >> since when are we for affirmative action? he can brag about
