ask the first president bush, ask president clinton in the first few years of his term. pain is so real that people don't see what's happened to the economy, how far it's traveled. what you have to do, in the start of your question, is how do you campaign -- not how do you govern in that situation. and there's a scenario that many of obama's supporters won't want to think about, but it is vel relevant here. but in 2004 president bush was faced with a very big decision. what did he do, he demonized the other side. he made john kerry absolutely incompatible with the american dream, the american spirit. he was unacceptable as an alternative and that's where some democrats are taking this midterm election now, saying the other side is totally unacceptable, even if you're unhappy with what you've got right now. >> the president's own answer about his accomplishment, it amounted to, as it amounted to more than a year, i protected you from things that did not happen. this is something akin to someone walking away saying he keeps the tigers away and you should keep him on the jo

clark and ask him as a physician. does the physician bear some responsibility to explain to their patients what they're getting and how to use it? well, as dr. krantz would note, yes, the physician does, but, again, in a period when you've got multiple medications, sometimes from multiple practitioners, that's not as easily- that's more easily said than done. but one of the things you can do is, you go to a single pharmacy, and in the era of electronic records and electronic prescribing, it's a lot easier for that single pharmacy to have their computer programs acknowledge when there are potential conflicts or adverse reactions. there are delivery models, like medical homes where you've got one entity that is the repository of all your medical information, so if there's a red flag, that can be easily tracked. when you get into the medicare age range, through e-prescribing, again, it's a lot easier to track the records. so we're moving in the direction of having personal health records and electronic medical or electro

we ask sure station request be heard as scheduled. i would like to ask my architect to come in and speak on the revisions. >> hello. the revision that was referred to was never followed through. there was some discussion about prefiguring part of each country of the decks so we applied for the permit revision and this is decided to be withdrawn. there is no revision of june 6th. >> is there any department the comments? >> is to any public comment on the rescheduling issue? >> commissioners. >> if the issue of revision is a moot than i am prepared to hear it tonight. >> can we hear from one of the department's about that issue? >> i tried to check on the tracking system on line.

police in england want to ask him about a burglary. and also about whether he knows that's not a toupee, it's a piece of lettuce. norm. norm. the schools were lousy... the healthcare was lousy... gangs were prevalent. violence was all over. families were falling apart. you can't raise children in a community like that. people had been talking about things, but not doing anything. hi, mr. canada... how are you? i'm doing great, how 'bout you? right here on 119th street. if we could fix this block, then we could fix the next block, then we could fix the next block... we promised parents, if your child stays with us, i guarantee you that child is going to graduate from college. failure is simply not an option. the sixty...the seventy... the eighty... the ninety-seven blocks which ends up being 10,000 children. we start with children from birth, and stay with those children until they graduate. if you really want to have an impact that is large, you will get there going one step at a time. there is no act that is too small to make a differ

so the last question i would ask you is if the services benefit asked -- us all, if they serve us all, wire be asking the responsible alcohol drinks or beer drinker to pay for it? to me, that does not make sense when you what are we asking that? chair avalos: next speaker, please. >> good afternoon, supervisors. i am with a commission, but i am here speaking on my own behalf. i would like to start by saying that a healthy public sector starts with a healthy private sector, and what we need is a very healthy private sector. we need help the private-sector job creation. we need a short-term strategy, in medium-term strategy, and a long-term economic strategy to increase employment and deepen and broaden, i might add, our tax base, and to believe that this proposed fee is flawed because it really does not do anything to mitigate the alcohol-related damage or harm, for alcohol, it is simply cost recovery for business as usual. someone referred to as the gold- plated situation. it is just shifting costs around within the budget. i support the services, and it also supports broadening the t

we would ask that the e.i.r. look at the written comments we propose and also ask itself whether the mitigations proposed really reduce it to a less than significant impact. we understand if it were to find there were significant impact that had economic impacts for the project overall, again we are talking about the sufficiency of the e.i.r. and sufficiency of the review. we ask the planning department and the commission ultimately not be compromised by pushes to push the project through and result in inadequate descriptions of the impacts and inadequate mitigations. of particular concern to the audubon society are the impacts, the unavoidable impacts to birds. the first and easiest one to identify is the massive increase in population on the island itself. there is no doubt by increasing the population overall -- [bell] >> thank you for your time. >> good morning. my name is kate kelly. kelley, an i represent the sierra club, chapter director for the local chapter of the sierra club. first of all i want to say

. -- corporations pay what we ask. whether or not they should pay more is subject to debate in the congress. it is not like they cheat, they pay what we ask. many would say they being successful some say we shouldn't penalize them. >> american people agree with you. class-based politics a nonstarter. it doesn't work. it will fail this year as it has failed in the past. >> greta: i wish we have a vote whether it is up or down, indifferent, i don't care just have the courage of conviction before the election many thank. >> next scott brown is taking on his hometown university, harvard. what is that spat about? is it a big deal or not? we ask governor huckabee he's here. >> you will love this nfl great kurt warner guess on the record. is he dancing with governor palin's daughter bristol on "dancing with the stars?" sort of. sort of.
