the high cost of health care and how we need to get a handle on the amount of resources we spend as a nation on health care. i've talked about the need to improve with prevention and wellness and talked about the public insurance option and why i think it's so important to have a public insurance option but today i want to talk about a different issue: what happens if we do nothing. because i think the people of this nation need to understand that our current health care system is causing huge challenges for the people of our nation. whether you have health insurance or don't have health insurance you are impacted by the fact that your openings are limited. 4remaryland citizens will contie to lose health care each day if we do not reform our health care system. there scurptly are 760,000 marylanders that have no health insurance today. that number has been growing during this economic crisis. and now 230 marylanders are losing their coverage every single day. so there are people in our community that currently have adequate health insurance -- at least they think they do -- but they are liab

as a nation, we can then buy into an aggressive broadband plan based on a shared understanding of how critical broadband is to our individual and national futures. that kind of citizen buy-in is critical to a good plan and the successful end to -- implementation of a plan to come up with. no one should think that we are putting all this emphasis on broadband for the sake of something called broadband. broadband is about something else. it is the grid in a blur. that is what infrastructure is always about. -- it is the great enabler. there are no solutions to the colossal changes we face as a nation and seek to overcome, energy dependence, environmental degradation, job losses, inadequate health care, even our damaged civic dialogue, there is no solution to any of those that does not contain a critical broadband component within it. when you enable broadband, you unable united states of america. -- youenable the united states of america. there must we cannot afford to waste. we have a good process going. with a full commission press between now and february we can and we will get this

it has protected us as a nation. it has inspired our survival. that doesn't change. >> i appreciate that answer, judge. are there any elements of the government's response to september 11th that you think maybe 50 or 60 years from now, we as a nation will look back on with some regret? >> i'm a historian by undergraduate training. i also love history books. it's amazing how difficult it is to make judgments about one's current position. that's because history permits us to look back and to examine the actual consequences that have arisen and then judgments are made. as a judge today, all i can do, because i'm not part of the legislative branch, it's the legislative branch who has the responsibility to make laws consistent with that branch's view of constitutional requirements and its powers, it's has been on a circuit court for a dozen years. some of the things trouble me that, generally speaking, left of center,ut within the main stream, and you have these speeches that just blow me away. don't become a speechwriter if this law thing doesn't wor

. >> reporter: here as a nation described as a model of african success nearly 30% live in poverty and most of african conditions are even worse, the fact that brought a stern lecture from the president directed at the entire african continent. >> no business wants to invest in a place where the government skills 20% off the top. no person wants to live in a society where the rule of law gives way to the rule of brutality and bribery. >> reporter: he urged the young people of africa to build a new future where poverty, disease and corruption are conquered from the ground up. >> you can do that. yes, you can. because in this moment, history's on the move. >>erreportpo: in an emotional final stop, the president and his family visited the notorious cape coast castle where tens of thousands of africans kidnapped into slavery were kept in dungeons before being shipped to america. he says this is especially for his daughters that are growing up in such a blessed way. >> hopefully one of the things imparted to them during this trip is their sense of obligation to fight oppression and cruelty

the question i think before us and what we have to weigh as a group as we consider the weight of the nation is whether we as a society are willing to take the actions necessary to reverse the epidemic of obesity. thank you very much. [applause] >> thank you, dr. friedan, for your remarks. i know you will all understand when i say we are truly blessed at cdc to have such a bold and visionary leader. thank you. [applause] >> our next speaker is dr. jim marks, senior vice president at the robert wood johnson foundation. and as you know, he has been a national leader in public health for more than 25 years. currently, he directs the program activities of the robert wood johnson foundation health group, which includes the foundation's work in childhood obesity, public health, and vulnerable populations. dr. mark served as assistant surgeon general as well as director of cdc's national center for chronic disease prevention and health promotion. during his tenure at cdc, he developed and applied effective strategies to prevent and detect diseases such as cancer, heart disease, and diabetes. he wor

we are wrestling with this as a nation, and we are handicapped. you do not see this in places in europe or asia where the role of government is more accepted. people are not as worried about the government intruding into the industry. that gives them the edge. >> a number of government officials have called it a market failure. i was wondering whether you agree with that, and how to fix it? >> it is an area of deep shame for meat personally. -- for me personally. i wrote a paper that was not released the said we do not have to worry about things about -- about things like security because the markets would deliver. the market has failed. what does failure mean? it means that in some cases, some companies to a great job. even companies that do a great job get hacked once in awhile. some companies do not do a great job. there are places in the electrical grid where we should be nervous. we know what everyone is doing? they held to a common standard? if you go on the web, if you can see -- there was a series of hearings on what the electrical industr

we have, as a nation, suffered mightily from the ability of our foreign opponents to access sensitive or classified information and take it for their own use. so what worries me the most is that we've had a counterintelligence disaster in the u.s., and we're just now starting to fix it. >> host: what about the financial side? because what i hear from a lot of the intelligence officials actually is that they're most worried about the impacts this is having in terms of death by a thousand cuts on the financial side. >> guest: i would call it the economic side. >> host: yeah. >> guest: we use the death by a thousand cuts which is you're a company, and you invent the new wonder thing, right? and you have the plan for the new wonder thing, but before you can get it on the market some competitor has a very similar product. or you're a company, and you're trying to buy another company in, say, china. when you go to do negotiations, it's like the people on the other side of the table know your talking points, they know your bottom line, they know your positions. how does that happen? and thes

have a moral oshgation as well as a national security interest in providing assistance. >> reporter: today's food agreement is seen as a victory for obama. his scorecard for the rest of the summit is mixed. a deal on climate change was obama's other major goal. he was able to convince the nations to agree to a limit on a rise in the world's temperature. the major industrialized nations also agree to cut their carbon emissions by 80% by the year 2050. still, he couldn't convince the wider group to go along with that target for reducing emissions. opposition was led by the so-called g-5, a group of important regional players that includes brazil, china, india, mexico and south africa. obama acknowledged the growing importance of such countries. >> for us to think we can somehow deal with some of these global challenges in the absence of major powers, like china, india and brazil, seems to me wrongheaded. >> reporter: afterwards, the president met in rome with pope benedict xvi. the two greeted each other warmly. this despite their differences over issues like st

a piece of it. this is an interesting day for nyjer as well as sean burnett coming back to a place where they pretty much matured as major leaguers. he's hitting .404 as a national. a breaking ball will pop him up. right out behind short. ronny cedeno just obtained from seattle for the first out. here is the rest of the lineup. cristian guzman five straight multihit games. zimmerman and adam dunn, i guess you say the adam dunn era at first base gets begun og -- gets going on a full-time basis. willingham, willie harris, josh bard and alberto gonzalez. nats are hitting .253. still ninth in the league in runs and home runs. guzman hits that ball pretty well in the sun light and that's the outstanding, young player andrew mccutchen. looking forward to seeing him this weekend. >> rob: let's break him down. let's break down mr. ohlendorf with the pnc bank scouting report. he's been traded a umm could have times. he was trade the from the d'backs to the yanksthis year a deadline traded from yankees to here with carson, kucinichon and tejada. he has to repeat his delivery along with a crush a lot of bapts bats and repeat the delivery. >> bob: that was for the left- han

he said it was a fine answer, but he said i don't want the speaker of the house as a national leader thinking up a policy on national television. if you don't already have a policy on something, back out, say i need to think about that and check on it, and let people understand you're going to be more careful. i couldn't always live up to that, but i have never forgotten how right mike dever was, and i think it's the same thing for the president. he's not barack obama state senator. he's not even barack obama united states senator. he's not even barack obama democratic nominee. this is the president of the united states whose every word is watched worldwide, and i think that requires a frightening level of that he's spending too much money, most people think that obama care is a bad idea, so he's losing support. why do you think he's losing it, and what would he need to maybe gain some of that back? >> i think they have two very big problems. both of them very hard to solve. the first is the economy's really bad. as i said a while ago, the federal reserve now projects higher unemploym

i will be honest with you about the challenges we face as a nation. we will win this general election, and then you and i together can change the country and change the world. starting today we must pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, and begin the work of remaking america. >> if this is the change we all can believe in, america's best days are behind her. >> you voted for change, but they're not getting any change today. >> i do order guantanamo will be closed. >> it was my idea to withdraw. i withdrew. >> when i realized the mistake, i paid the tax in full. >> tom made the decision. i take responsibility for this mistake. >> these were careless mistakes. they were avoidable mistakes. >> our economic crisis could become a national catastrophe. >> if we do everything right, there's still a 30% chance we're going to get it wrong. >> how many of you people want to pay for your neighbors' mort that has an extra bathroom and can't pay their bills? raise their hand. how about we all -- president obama, are you listening? >> look at this bill. this bill

you wanted to get into the european union, which is a legitimate group of industrialized nations, they have rules for how fiscally solvent you must be asation. and one of their rules says that your deficit cannot exceed 3% of your gross national product. and yet under president obama and his proposed budget, our deficit will average 4.5% to 5% of our gross national product for the next ten years, over $1 trail year. and what does this lead to? well it leads to massive expansion in debt, as this chart shows, a debt which will be 85% of our g.d.p. what does that mean, 58% of our g.d.p.? well, the public debt of a nation is the debt held by othe people -- primarily, americans and other countries. primarily, in our case, china. they're our biggest holder of our debt. and historically, whether a country or individuals aring are willing to buy the debt of a nation depends on whether that nation is seen as being able to pay that debt off or whether the nation has the financial strength to pay that debt off. and there are some rules of thumb here, too. again, in order to get into the european union, you have to have a ratio of less than 60% p

. >> i had initially thought that her -- if she wants a future career as a national political player,or was a mistake. i have changed my mind on that. look, i don't know how far she will get in national politics but there was nothing else for her to gain and it was just going to be stagnating anyway between the legislature and her, so there was nothing for her to gain politically or otherwise by staying in the governorship. now she can be a national political player. she is free to do it. i think she needs -- and she is free to have time to learn more about issues, to hire a good speech writer and she can't just keep going around and doing what mara said about president obama on healthcare, saying the same thing over and over again. she will have to give speeches on different subjects. she can be a national player with tremendous clout. the press is always going to cover her, because she's a star. you can't underestimate how important it is to be a star. she will be all over the country. i don't know what she will do for alaska, but she will be with us for a long time as a national po

national ramifications. we are in the middle of a cap and trade debate. she could have positioned herself asover a role as a national spokesman. she didn't do that. now, the pressure will be on her to do that but she won't have the statue or the office from which to make those arguments. >> you know what, i mean she can't even say that she was the one term governor of alaska because she didn't stand by alaska. i think she was in line it seems to me as one of the possibilities to run against lisa murkowski for the senate and murkowski can now run ads repeating what she said in her statement that governor palin abandoned the citizens of alaska who gave her the privilege of serving as her governor. the political clan is thinking what could they about about because she is the most popular republican right now. reis more popular. you are thinking oh, sarah palin might be the ticket but sarah palin has taken away her platform as governor. that was giving her the opportunity to respond to critics by developing not only experience but demonstrating leadership. what is the answer? >> has to be money.

improve education calling for more money and more reform saying a good education is essential to the success of us as individuals and as a nation. >> if we are to be true to our past and we also have to seize our own future, each and every day. >> reporter: as you can see it was a rousing speech and the reception from the audience was enthusiastic. it was m obama's first speech directly linked to racial issues since he took office. the white house says he wrote it himself working on it for about two weeks. >> laura evans tonight. >>> one of washington's most infamous landmarks is going up on the auction block. plus, thousands turn out to get a shot at a job and there are 200,000 out there. we'll show you where to look next. >>> a judge gets his say on this woman's claim shswas beaten by police after a traffic ticket misunderstanding. >>> plus, no, you're not seeing things. those are holiday decorations hitting store shelves months early. >>> people may have needed those cooling christmas thoughts because the tempature today got up to 96 degrees making it officially the hottest day so far this 2009. what are we looking at as we

they always knew that if we were a success as a nation, we have a huge role to play in world affairs. we have always been fundamentally a middle-class nation, about individual aspiration, from the very beginning. arguably, by some measures, even before the revolution, on a per- capita basis, where the wealthiest country on earth. if you want to look at someone who epitomizes this characteristic of america, the to the founder of the republican party, abraham lincoln. something that he just hated in the marrow of his bones was economic stasis. he hated the jeffersonian vision, the jeffersonian ideal of a country that was always, forever more, going to be yeoman arms, leaving virtuously on their lands. he was estranged from his father because his father could never move beyond that vision. he was a lawyer for the railroads, because the railroads for him represent progress and economic advance. there is nothing he would have hated more than the idea of the federal government prompting -- propping up a dying or dead industry in the form of gm and chrysler and detroit as exist today. finall

as many this year. >> we do this becae we phase a ton of challenges as a nation. we need to see great people going into government if we are going to solve the problems we face today. >> reporter: the federal government will need to fill some 200,000 entry level jobs over the next four years. >>we are certainly hiring for positions with individuals that have a background in foreign affairs, engineering, science, information technology. >> reporter: nearly 80 federal government agencies are represent the here. the irs, gao, state and labor departments, the congressional budget office. >> it is unusual for us to have a position open like this at this time. >> reporter: meeting an agency recruiter and dropping off a resume is one thing. actually getting hired by the federal government, that is another matter. >> most of them you applyian line and don't hear from them for a couple of months afterward gentleman but you don't have a job so why not give it a shot? >> i'm give it a shot. >> the company i'm presently working for about is to fold. >> reporter: ben morgan ha

what are the 13 original companies we will have as a nation? >> the 13 companies bailed out. >> we can add a.i.g. and seiu and g.e., who are big in designing the whole healthcare bill. i think they got a lot to win here. i can't find the things in the healthcare bill where the average american is a winner. i can find it for these guys, so i think that really we should stop calling it a flag and just start calling it the logo of our nation, and let's just be more honest. let's replace the stars with the companies. >> well, wal-mart is a good example to have up there. there is a company that grew up by being better than everybody else. they got you goods faster and cheaper, and now they're con knifing with politicians, saying, oh, yeah, let's raise the minimum -- glenn: why? >> the founder died and now the bureaucrats are in charge and they can make more money by partnering with washington. glenn: i think they're afraid. >> that's, true, too. glenn: i think there are a lot of people in business afraid. >> if we don't cooperate, they will come down

then x because of my experience as a caucasian male makes me better able to represent the people of south carolina, and my opponent was a minority, it would make nationald it should. having said that, i am not going to judge you by that one statement. i just hope you appreciate the world in which we live in, that you can say those things meeting to inspire somebody and still have a chance to get on the supreme court. others could not remotely come close to that statement and survive. whether that is right or wrong, i think that is a fact. does that make sense to you? >> it does, and i would hope that we would, in america to a place -- that we placecome -- i would hope that we would come in america to a place where we would consider in the context of a person's life. >> if that happens, this hearing is worth it. you would look at the entire life story to determine whether this is an aberration or just a reflection of your real soul. if that comes from this hearing, and then we have probably done the country some good. -- this hearing, then we probably have done the country some good. you have grown up in new york your entire life? >> my entire life. >>

it has protected us as a nation. it has inspired our survival.eciate that answer, judge. are there any elements of the government's response to september 11th that you think maybe 50 or 60 years from now we as a nation will look back on with some regret? >> i'm a historian by undergraduate training. i also love history books. it's amazing how difficult it is to make judgments about one's current position. that's because history permits us to look back and to examine the actual consequences that have arisen, and then judgments are made. as a judge today, all i can do, because i'm not part of the legislative branch, it's the legislative branch who has the responsibility to make laws consistent with that branch's view of constitutional requirements and its powers. it's up to the president to take his action, and then it's up to the court to just examine each situation as it arises. >> i can understand some hesitance on this but the truth is that courts are already dealing with these very issues. the supreme court itself is now struck down a number o

adopted in the past so we don't make the deficit worse. >> the president says we spend too much as a nation on health care. how do you spend another trillion to two trillion dollars in order to spend less? and we're going to tax the american people, raise our taxes once again at a time when the economy's not doing well. if we're trying to create jobs in america, you can't do it by imposing more taxes on a big government-run health care plan. you can't do it by raising energy taxes on every american with their cap in trade system and then spend a trillion dollars with interest on a stimulus bill that's not working. >> finally, and we have a little over a minute left, so you're going to both have to be quick on this. we are coming up on the end of the first six months of this new congress and this new president. start with you, congressman hoyer. how's it going? >> i think this has been the most productive six months i've served in the congress of the united states. i think the president put down the program and the congress has supported the program which is responsive to what the american p

who are we getting here as a nation? >> reporter: it may be several more days before senators get the full picture. but a confirm anticipation vote should come by the end of this month. sotomayor also broke with the president on the importance of empathy in judging. she said, it's the job of the judge to apply the law and that it's not the heart that compels conclusion in cases. it's actually the law. michelle? >> susan roberts in washington. thank you. >>> on the cbs money watch, asian stocks made big gains this morning. claire lake is here in new york with more. good morning. >> good morning to you. asian stocks turned in a second day of gains. strong earnings from u.s. companies gave modern investors hope that the world economy is on the mend. the hang seng jumped more than 2%. the kospi surged 2.5%. >>> the tech giant said business is picking up fast and it sees a strong second half of the year. the dow jones starts the day up 27 points. the tech heavy nasdaq begins higher by six. >>> economic news will be in focus to

and we're trying to get beyond that and improve as a nation. so when it comes to the idea that we should consciously try to include more people in the legal process and the judicial process, from different backgrounds, count me in. but your speeches don't really say that to me. along the lines of what senator kyl was saying, they kind of represent the idea. there's a day coming when there will be more of us -- women and minorities -- and we're going to change the law. and what i hope we'll take away from this hearing is they need to be more women and minorities in the law to make a better america. and the law needs to be there for all of us, if and when we need it. and the one thing that i've tried to impress upon you through jokes and being serious is the consequences of these words. and the world in which we live in. we're talking about putting you on the supreme court and judging your fellow citizens. and one of the things that i need to be assured of is that you understand the world as it pretty much really is. i can't find the quote but i'

before i begin, i want to say a few words about where we are as a nation. and where we need to go. we are living through extraordinary times. i don't need to tell you that. this generation of americans, our generation has been called to confront challenges of a magnitude that we have not seen in decades, perhaps unlike anything we have seen in recent history. challenges that you generations of americans are asked to face. in a daddition to the immediate threats, we have two wars going on at a deep recession, our economy has also been weakened by problems that have plagued us for decades. the rising cost of health care, the state of our schools, the continuing dependence on foreign oil. there are some who say we cannot tackle all of these problems, it's too much, congress can't handle it. the president is juggling too many things. my administration has taken on too much, too soon, moving too fast. i say america has waited long enough for action on these issues. it is not too soon to fix our schools when we know that if our children are not prepared, they will not compete in the 21st

i think the reason why i think nothing will likely come of this is that we as a nation don't trust eachn sigs. i think this announcement by the city of cambridge that they're going to try to put together this forum is a terrific announcement, but i hope it's not the beginning and the end of the process, but the start of an ongoing process. >> speaking of that, we have professor gates who writes of president obama's invitation to the white house, i'm pleased that he, too, is eager to use my experience as a teaching moment. and if meeting sergeant crowley with a beer for the president would further that end, i'd be happy to oblige. gates himself seems optimistic about this teachable moment. do you think anything might come of this if the three to meet at the white house? >> certainly, absolutely. i think it was a terrific idea. what would make this even better is if once they have that beer at the white house, that sergeant crowley and professor gates keep talking, that they continue to have their conversation and their dialogue with each other in private, but maybe also in public. it's a

and we're trying to get beyond that and improve as a nation.at we should consciously try to include more people in the legal process and the judicial process from different backgrounds, count me in. but your speeches don't really say that to me. along the lines of what senator kyl was saying, they kind of represent the idea there's a day coming when there will be more of us, women and minorities, and we're going to change the law, and what i hope we'll take away from this hearing is there need to be more women and minorities in the law to make a better america, and the law needs to be there for all of us if and when we need it, and the one thing that i have trade to impress won you through jokes and being serious is the consequences of these words in the world in which we live in. you know, we're talking about putting you on the supreme court and judging your fellow citizens, and one of the things that i need to be assured of is that you understand the world as it pretty much really is, and we got a long way to go in this country and i can't fi

question of race and justice in america today, it strikes me, it goes to the heart of our future as a nationin whether we can finally come to grips and put behind us some of the terrible things that have happened in our history. >> it's so unsatisfying, i know, for you and probably the other senators when a nominee to the court doesn't engage directly with the societal issues that are so important to you. both as citizens and senators, and i know they're important to you because this very question you just mentioned to me is part of bipartisan efforts that you're making. i respect that many have concerns on lots of different issues. for me as a judge both on the circuit or potentially as nominee to the supreme court, my role is a very different one. and in the luis gomez case, we weren't talking about the disparity. we were talking about the quantity of drugs and whether i had to follow the law on the statutory minimum that congress required. for the weight of drugs at issue. in expressing a recognition of the family situation and uniqueness of that case, it was at a time when congress had n

so we will leave this as a national issue we can deal with as a massachusetts issue. we will leave it as a national issue for the time being and the time being of course turns into the civil war. in the south, the business of leaving it means on the verge of the war theory is such feature and terror of the british army and the slaves that actually in charleston for example it is quite clear that rank-and-file patriots in charleston start to demand arms in order to protect slavery in other words for them the war for liberty is the one to protect slavery. which makes it recalled one of the civil war, which is a sobering thought. the gentleman there, yes. >> thank you very much. i have a rather mundane question. was nova scotia the only place that the slaves -- [inaudible] >> we are talking about 30,000 or so who depart with the british and their fate is various forms of travel. some go resold into slavery in the caribbean. there is charleston and savannah. a substantial number become free farmers. the question was was no the scotia the only place where the ex slaves go a
