i had an agenda. i had a team of people. the truth of the matter is the final motivating factor was my admiration for george bush and i wondered whether or not i had what it took to get in the arena like he did. chris: so interesting use of the third person, george bush. proper nouns. >> talking about how he wanted see if he can do as well as dad did. he got from his father a great name, supreme sense of confidence. certainly an understanding you could not ignore the right wing of your party. that was the manifest lesson of the first bush's term. and there have been books wriven about how this is one gigantic, you know, freudian -- chris: what about the scene of the driveway when he comes home one night blasted. his old man confronts him. he said i will take you on here mano a mano, dad. >> having three sons, this sounds totally normal. nothing unusual about that. chris: what about the actual fact, bob, you know this, everybody does but you acutely, saddam hussein tried to kill his father. >> right. >> and that's part of the

we have a packed agenda tonight. first we want to thank the southeast community facility commission for opening their doors tonight and their executive director, moses. thank you for opening the doors tonight. we have a very, very tight agenda. the goal here is for the community to be heard. this is not a question and answer time, but the goal is for the community to be heard. when we get to public comment, and you make your statements. remember we want you to be as concise as possible, because the department heads and the mayor are here to hear you. without further ado, i want to introduce mayor lee and he will open us up. thank you. good evening everybody. as stated eloquent ly, this is time for all of you in the community particularly focused residents of 10 and 11, to tell us in government what you feel passionate about. i want to thank supervisor avalos and supervisor cohen that it will be here in a minute. your budget chair is supervisor farrell, i want to thank him as he will have a lot of meetings. and i want

give an agenda. this is auty formula one has wrapped up in bahrain with anti-government protesters clashing with police to try and disrupt the controversial hosting the event security officers stormed areas where progress former activists gathered suppressing most opposition marches and the protesters have been using the formula one race to draw attention to human rights abuses in the country and demanding more international pressure on the ruling family and the head of monitoring the bahrain center for human rights told me that they have ultimately achieved that goal. they get behind it was thirty one jordan and it's only a couple of the phone to this but we have six feet to do it took up out of the other side of thousand of people who want to demand big democracy and a pretty good that doesn't have people who are so. good that doesn't know that's happening. to my people i don't think it is i need a phone. down it's continuing the killing is continuing that backing is continuing . to the government

the next item on the agenda is discussion and possible action on public finance report. mr. sinclair, would you like to introduce this item? >> yes. >> thank you. so, in the 2012 election, 12 candidates qualified to receive public funding. we disbursed approximately 1.2 million in public funds. the candidates spent about $3 million. and third-party persons spent approximately 1.5 million. i'd like to point out that there is a typo that i just noticed on page 3. the last sentence in the first paragraph states that there were 22 eligible candidates. there were actually 12 eligible candidates as stated on page 2. and all the information is in the report. if you have any questions, i'd be glad to answer them. >> how do you think we did compared to our goals for public financing? >> you know, it's been very difficult to identify whether we've been meeting our goals because each election cycle, the rules change. so, for example, when those public financing program first started in 2002, we did not have individual expenditure ceilings. we just had ceilings where when they were lift

not to be driving forward on an agenda, what kind of leadership is that? >> what would you like him to stay? >> will put an end to obamacare. the government will not shut down. that is such a misnomer. the government will slow down to size.57% of its current it is certainly not going to lock up and go away. >> what do you wanted to say on gun legislation? ofhe can put a repeal obamacare on as a condition of continuing the spending here in washington. he could secure the problem just like that. >> how is obamacare an invasion of privacy? >> it opens up all medical records to prowling around by drones here in washington. when they see something like ptsd, they use that like sending the cannot have a gun. no evidence that the person actually is a threat. they just use these diagnoses as a wholesale disarmament of a whole group of people. 150,000 veterans have been disarmed things to this approach. >> you see medical records as another data registry? thenother way of adding to list of people that supposedly should not have guns. that is why we oppose obamacare

we do have an enormous agenda. i agree with you on that. i cannot discount that agenda at all. coming back and sitting down before you is not coming from the u.s. side. as to the issues you raise, it is very important to say these are two pretty issues in the particular context. yao arty type about these. when you talk about a bilateral interaction between russia and the united states, we are interested to understand what rush is thinking today about the development of capable, long-range systems because we see them emerging on the russian side as well. there is an enormous value in engaging on the broad agenda strategic stability topics and we need to get back to this discussion sooner rather than later. just to say a short comment on general yao presentation that we talk about are quite important in an overtime will develop the kind of relationship in the fabric, the agenda among the five. we've been working on that very, very hard and we hope that it will lead to lower mutual transparency, but also transparency for the entire npt community and the world as a whole and will p

>> item no. 8, future agenda items. >> colleagues, any future agenda items you would like to see this body take on? commissioner breed? >> yes, thank you. the information that we received about appointments and how other jurisdictions do elections and elected officials really got me to thinking about another area that i would like us to consider exploring. with the san francisco police and fire departments and the selection process there, ultimately, shall there is usually thousands of people who apply, there is a process, there is testing, there is testing. the testing results for example are good for a certain amount of years and the ability for the chiefs of those departments to pick who should be selected for the slots that barely open in the city is somewhat what i believe an unfair process to provide that much power in the hands of the chief of police and the chief of the fire departments to be able to single-handedly select individuals for these particular slots and i will tell you that the first place, i think it was last year or the year before that was chosen after ten years

he's on a deadline to get his agenda pushed forward.nd the second term is also a race against time. the white house is taking up big, politically risky issues, an indication obama is seeing the sand running out of the hourglass. is it the fact that the time is now upon him that he has to have 3 1/2 years, seal his legacy, a new sense of urgency in the president? >> i think there's absolutely a sense of urgency. i don't think this is a legacy. this is a president who didn't take a lucrative job after college. he moved to the south i'd of chicago to help workers get back on hits feet. his north star is how do we restore for the middle class? that's what has guided the big accomplishments of this administration, starting with health care reform. he knows what the political pressure points are. presidential candidate in 2016 is for the going to be able to beat the democrat if the democrat wins 7/10 of the hispanic vote. so comprehensive immigration reform. there's political pressure points behind that that i think create big incentives for

the president has unveiled his own plan to go forward, pushing his own agenda, his legislative agendaas obama for america, now it's organizing for action. so he has an army of people continuing through the country to push on his issues. on the other hand, we also have a republican leadership in the house and republicans in the senate who seem more interested in stopping the president's agenda, stopping any democratic agenda, than they are on law making. if you're not even going to bring -- if you are talking about filibustering, not even bringing debate to the floor on an issue that 90% of the american people support, what are you doing? >> so that could get in the way of the ten weeks is what you're saying right now. you're questioning the efficacy of that. david, in order to make the ten week time frame, there is that. there's also immigration reform needs to get done by the end of june, as the hill was noting. how do you see things going to make that ten-week goal if it's possible? >> well, look, i think the problem the president has is not on the number one issue the country's con

clerk, is there any other business before this committee >> that concludes the agenda, mr. chair. >> thank you. >> meeting ajournd. >> we love our parks, but we love... >> and the community who is really the core of it all, came together and said what we need is a place for our teenager to play, not just play grounds for the kids and soccer fields but we need a skate park that will keep the kids home in the neighborhood so they can play where they live. >> the children in the neighborhood and it will be a major boone. and we have generations, the youth generations that will be able to use this park in different places. >> the best park in san francisco right here. >> creating place where people can be active and lead, active, healthy life styles that are going to just stay with them for life. ♪> >> >> good morning. today is wednesday april 17, 2013. this is a regular meeting of the building inspection commission. i would like everyone to turn off devices. roll call. president mccarthy, mar, here, commissioner lee, here, mccray, present, melgar here, and commissioner -- is e
