i see our attorney agreing. supervisor avalos? >> firstly second the amendments. i concur with many of the comments that supervisor kim has expressed. i have also been sitting in this committee over different projects proposed at pier 30 and 32. the experience i have had today is vastly different from the experience we had prior. talk about america's cup and looking at how piers 30 and 32 could get developed. i think that is significant. i think the approach warriors have had moving forward has been much more of an effort to really learn how to do this project. we are still in the learning process. i think that the warriors have expressed that even know that they are in the learning process and listening to stake holders. i think the impact from citizen's advisory committee is important and actually i'm glad we have amendments that we'll be putting forward that will assure they have a voice in future agreements that come before the board of supervisors prior to the board will get their recommendations. that makes a lot of sense. and also is the way that this proje

i am not going to get into this floridian -- whatat the republicans will agre thejohn boeer came out day after the election saying raisee would agree to revenues. there is a difference between rates and revenues. you do it by eliminating the bridge and u the will get more revenues. --s obsession with races rates is something that will resist. >> there is one of vicious truth. you cannot get rid of tha just taxetting rid of the bush cuts for the wealthy. nor can you get us out of this by getting rid of all and lowerering the tes. the math does not work. you haha to have some painere for everybody. >> colby? >> this is a sho record. i wantnt to make sure the record mittear on negativity and romnmney. let us not forget, last summer when the democrats started, we had the republican primary. in that republican primary, the capitalut venture versus vulture capital? where did d that come from? that came from mitt romney. pickedd about being over by bain capital? rick perry. the talk about weaervane mentality? was that david axelrod? no, that was john huntsman. the republicans laid the thend

. >> i agre. we said one year-ago no president been reelected with unemployment over 7% it is a tight race. the downside is people are more in nervous about safety nets, more reliant, a disability has gone up as well as food stamps. when you start talking about changes of medicare and social security they're more likely to have a conversation. but really it means people are clinging on to the safety nets. >> we see the 14% advantage. with the race this tight we know the challenger takes the majority of the votes of undecided. this looks like a powerful opportunity. >> is. i believe president obama has a better ground game, and get out the vote. lou: then why doesn't he get to 30 votes to members of 2008? >> his people are not motivated but they can be brought to the polls. he is counting on those that show what will vote and it will make the difference. i am not saying i am right and you're wrong. lou: i am right to. [laughter] thirteen were with the simple solution find out the capital one cash r

. >> we agr stay electoral vote tally according to the projections of the various states are 274 for barack obama and 3 for mitt romney. vb49/49 with only a couple hundred thousand votes between the two candidates. we're going to take a quick break. comments are expected from mitt romney. now with the romney campaign refusing to concede ohio w to happen. we'll keep you posted. we'll be right back. cf:$ >>>arack obama. still up in theve. colorado for president obama. steve schmidt, what do you think? this is one more move towards maybe not needing ohio. >> this is another state whenp& you look at the numbers in colorado see the impacti mitt romney in a very bad way in that state. republicans had high hopes in colorado. >> we're getting all of this now and we still haven't heard from virginia yet and we haven't heard from nevada. so he can roll it up even further. 7<-Ñ could get up potentially to over 300. >> republicans were not very bullish going intoevada tonight. he does have a path over howard fineman who is in other command post. >> f the third debate which the president did pret

it's interesting to note that hamas had agreed to this agre agreement 24 hours before the secretary arrivedas supposed to, the cease-fire was supposed to go in to effect at 9:00 p.m. local time last night. that is when hillary clinton was landing in jerusalem to meet with prime minister of israel. that is when she began her 24 hours of shuttle diplomacy. it's interesting that the white house is taking credit for the truce. the statement from the white house said that the president recommended to thehe accept the deal. the deal that the egyptians had achieved with hamas. what is striking to me how s how much power it will give to spoilers as an iranian proxy group like jihad and popular resistance committee, because everything falls apart if there is any fire from the gaza strip. it looks a little tenuous now. the one achievement is that she made the president of egypt and egypt responsible if for hamas' actions from the strip. knowing the history and players as well as you, do how surprising is that it israel would agree to the cease-fire the same day that the deadly bomb went off on a bus

they didn't have the agre agreement.intelligence community view of what happened. she gave it to the sunday talk show. she made a mistake and said she made a mistak miswhat more u ask for? do you think he is went up and there purposefully lied? >> brian: shouldn't you do your research? >> andrea: yes. she knew there were conflicting accounts. why push anyone from the administration out to say anything at all. she should have done her research. maybe she is not a liar. maybe she is incatch tent. one thing that the senator trying to block you. it was great what mccain did. getting the heat. and republicans were being sexist. and let me give her a fair shake. john bolton was up for administration. they pulled the same stunt. >> dana: i think she was failed by people around her. president obama should be mad at him. rather than be mad at senators. is he not concerned they got it wrong? purposefully so? >> brian: this is what she said roughly. the talking point provideed by the intel community and were incorrect. there was no

the reason the violence rate has dropped recently is only because the cartels are consolidating their agrso we have to think of more creative ways to help the mexicans, because our history with mexico and invading it as such is their sense is articulate. so it has to be very, very subtle. our policymakers care about mexico, but they're relegated to the northeast coast to a minor problem. what i'm arguing in this book is it's a major problem. >> you're saying if we don't help mexico essentially come up to roughly the standards -- >> that's the goal, to make mexico as rich as we are. >> because otherwise -- >> right. it's not like we can save mexico, mexico can help itself, but there are things we can do. >> robert kaplan, a pleasure as always. >> thank you, fareed. >> and we will be right back. ♪ [ male announcer ] are you on medicare? do you have the coverage you need? open enrollment ends friday, december 7th. so don't wait. now's the time to get on a path that could be right for you... with unitedhealthcare medicare solutions. call today to learn about the kinds of coverage we offer, in

his base coalition, give them extraordinary financial gifts from the government, and then work very agres herbalagresivel them out to vote. >> he goes on to talk about student loans and benefits part of the democratic policy, the democratic agenda, the president's campaign platform really. >> right. >> how does this strike you? there are many that say this sounds like him again trying to blame the recipients of benefits that the government has long offered to people. >> i tell you, andrea, i read about the comments last night. this morning i did a survey of folks on the republican side who are what i describe as the professional political class, people who run campaigns who advise campaigns who are involved in republican politics and have been for a long time. sentiment, i was a little bit struck by was overwhelm, which is he needs to stop talking. we need to move on. this is exacerbating the problem that the election highlighted democrats cast the republican party as a party of wealthy white people, and in a more diverse country, as shown by the electorate nine daze ago, that's not a win

. >> i wouldn't be surprise first-degree he agred if he did agree to testify and explain where i wasomething about washington now when we hear somebody resign because of an extramarital affair, people immediately suspect it's a cover story for something else. i think what you see here is what you get. a man who felt he did the wrong thing and must suffer the consequenc consequences. >> take us inside that military mindset. i know especially westpoint grads, they have this tradition of doing the right thing, honor if you will, and if you screw up, as you point out, do the honorable thing and try to fix it. >> and petraeus really does pride himself on being a leader. i think what he wants in life is to be a great captain. i think he'd still love to be chairman of the joint chiefs. i don't know if that's possible now given this. don't forget, not only is petraeus a career military person, his wife a career military wife. they met at west point when her father was superintendent of west point. so she is the daughter of a general, married to a general, steeped in the same culture, the sam

frustration in recent elections with house republicans is they see washington and they see folks agreing on everything but nothing gets done. in this case, we know how to get this done. everybody grease we ought to pass the middle class tax cuts. we can do that tomorrow. we all agree we should pass the middle class tax cuts. we can do that tomorrow. we want to do it and they want to do it. all it will take is for them to say let's do this. people are talking about the fiscal cliff on january 16789 businesses have to start making decisions now projecting the environment they will be in on january 1. let's give those businesses the service, what they deserve and their employees bypassing this middle class income tax cut now. >> i'd just like to add that the chairman and assistant leader part pants in any number of these budget discussions, that, that or the other one. there were several of them. when they went to that table as representatives of the house democrats, they had no instruction except to reach agreement. they shared the values of our caucus but the over riding value was we had
