he needs to get up with a little blackboard like ross perot did and win 90% of the vote.o say this is what health care is going to cost. this is what it is going to cost if we don't do it and answer people's questions. it's just a complete rumor that we're going to pay for abortions and whatever. make it clear and say to the right go attack it if you want. here it is, buy the time if necessary, make it very clear power point use a blackboard presentation down home and like the fire side chats of roosevelt. gretchen: one of the problems boris is w. that maybe if he does actually lay it out he will get even more criticism. >> absolutely. the problem is the president nor are speaker pelosi or harry reid could do it because it is over 1,000 page bill and any of the copies that we have seen, any one of the bills. and so then first if they could do it i would be surprised, second of all, if they did do it, we would see things in there that are very troubling to the american people. once you read into the bill you are seeing things in there that are not as exactly as they are be

we have to make sure our children can see the blackboard. and we have to make sure our children are learning conflict resolution skills and be able to interact with their peers and decrease stress rather than escalating everything. and so many of these shootings are over nothing, over absolutely nothing. and -- >> somebody stepped on my shoe or looked at me the wrong way. >> looked at me the wrong way. said the wrong thing. and to your point, no one's worked with the chern to say that's not a mortal blow. that's not a challenge to your manhood. as a matter of fact, if you're a young man, maturing young man, to pick up that gun to resolve a resoluti problem destroys your life and the person you shoot. >> to watch that entire interview, go to our blog, cnn.com/newsroom and click on don. it was a very interesting interview. >>> holding president obama accountable for the deadly violence in his hometown of chicago. >> our president of the united states is from here. he knows. he's from hyde park. he knows what's going on here. and it's time for

the words on the blackboard and school books that were taught by the images at home on the television too. i grew up in suburban, new jersey. the most diverse place. yet in matters of muslim welcome there was little understanding. between school, television, community, there was no way to like or understand the truth of what is muslim was. so that's a little bit of the background. i'm 40-year-old, i'll be 41. that gives you the idea of my timing in the childhood on all these issues that were going on at the time that were clearly part of -- were brought into the classroom, and how that influenced me when i was very young. i began to talk more about my experiences traveling when i was college my experiences traveling after college. so it's a little bit of cliche we i talk about travel brings that understanding. and again in the preface, i bring up all these issues just before that i talked about in the introduction. i'm going to read a little bit from the chapter on kabul. i've been to afghanistan three times. this is from my first trip in 2003. i knew what you wanted when you told me

he would literally have a blackboard and write thing out on the blackboard about what was going on inside this week, the inspector general and also the cia comes to know specific conclusion about whether or not the enhanced interrogation led to that and dick cheney when we interviewed him exclusively yesterday at his vacation home in wyoming had no doubts one led to the other and i've never seen him so upset, so genuinely outraged as it is by the fact that the obama administration is investigating the cia. let's take a look at the clip from yesterday's interview. >> we had a track record now of eight years of defending the nation against any further mass casualty attacks from al-qaeda. the approach of the obama administration should be to come to those people who were involved in that policy and say, how did you do it? what were the keys to keeping the country safe over that period of time? instead, they're out there now, threatening to disbar the lawyers who gave us the legal opinions, threatening contrary to what the president origin originally said they are going to investigate the cia

. >> reporter: online educational programs like blackboard, college kids can keep up with their classes. >> in general if you logged in, you with see the lecture notes, any discussion forums that are going on about that lecture, you would see your assignment, online test. >> reporter: the centers for disease control added 19 to 24 years old to the first priority group for the h1n1 vaccine. for the vaccine not expected to be available until late october. students feel safe knowing that if their campus is shutdown, they can still log on? >> i would be more relieved that drexel has assistance set up for this. with the 10 week quarters, you if miss a day of class you are really far behind. >> i will head down the shore and do all of my classes online. i will feel on vacation while still doing work. >>> still ahead, it's your world as you have never seen it before. >> a deli and they're in a hurry in to reach their nesting ground. >> we have a sneak peek at earth, coming up in the low down. >>> and next a dramatic display of affection, what brought on this breakdown. that is coming up >>> a

class, the classroom can be drought beirut to the student using online educational programs like blackboardep up with their classes. >> in general, if you lock logged in, you would see the lecture notes. you would see any discussion forums going on about that lecture. you would see your assignments. you could take online test. >> centers for disease control recently added 19 to 24-year-olds to the first priority group for the h1n1 vaccine. with the vaccine not expected to be available until late october, students feel safe knowing if their campus is shut down they could still log on. >> i would actually be more relieved and comforting to know that drexel has a system set up for this because with the 10-week quarters if you miss a day of class, you are really far behind. >> that would be pretty awesome. i would head down to sure -- shore and do all classes online. still like a vacation while still doing work. >> the key is not the online aspect it's the distance learning aspect. if your school doesn't have this internet capability, you might expect some classes being held outside or kids bei

> i had just add on to that, based on the last 12 to 15 years, on-line learning, companies like blackboardbeing started, monster, the rapid change that we've gone through and that we will continue to go through, time to market is key for relevancy. something that we can get to market, get real broadband into the hands of the communities that are underserved today, and be able to iterate on some of those programs, do some experimentation and so forth, let's not wait any longer. let's get it out there, see what works, doesn't work, and then, you know, tweak it over time. >> final thought for me, because i pcess slower. is that i think we also -- i would encourage you, or i would like to see that this doesn't -- rule doesn't equal low skilled and i think that when we looat the focus and the conversation tends to be about low skilled workers or people who need a lot of assistance, but i think the onehing, you know, as americans, we work more than we do anything else, so if you think about that, i work more than i spend time with my family, i work more than i sleep, work is so critical to me th
