they say it's been 7 years since the original permit was filed and he is very understand bli frustrated by that, i think i would be, too, but if the plans had been acceptable to the neighbors the building would be long built and we would have moved on. for two years from 2009 to february of 2012 the permit was approved and sat unpulled and the house was allowed to further deteriorate and the building permit in fact canceled the permit which was later reinstated some months later through some director's mandate. i'm not sure what happened there. in closing, i am sympathetic to and i understand the need for more housing for the city, but until it was suggested 530 sanchez had two units, the house and the cottage, and the new building will also have two units and they will be significantly more expensive. it is in conflict with things like the character of the neighborhood and will have a significant negative impact on the neighbors. the proposed construction are so far from achieving these goals i must oppose them completely and ask that you revoke both the permits. >> we will hear from m

there would be a lot of pressure, i would argue justifiable bli from the left, to junk that approach. side and more focused on tax fairness. a real decision for obama to make if he's re-elected. >> right. one of the big mistakes that the obama administration says, they didn't have enough of the private sector organization. the one way i would propose to deal with that is put in someone like larry fink. people will scream, oh, my god, wall street. someone who's actually been in the trenches hiring and firing. you need somebody who's done that. >> speaking of the trenches, when you redo this game can you make it a foreign policy so we can do risk and attack on the country. >> thank you very much. up next, if you've ever wanted to see steve kornacki in high school, just wait.

threw a monkey wrench into that plan and what w what we have seen ine last week is obama campaign scram bliound trying to recalibrate and they have had the message they have gotten to now is they are trying to simultaneously and this is what you saw biden do all might tonight simultaneously say, romney is a liar, can't be trusted, isn't telling the truth, can't be trusted and also let me remind you he said, he and paul ryan are right wing extremists at the same time so their message now is complicated, and it has posed the kind of strategic conundrum that i still don't think -- they are trying to do kind of a high brild of, hybrid, and flip flop, liar, liar and right wing radical and haven't quite found the right pitch for that yet and that's where joe biden is groping for and one of the things this debate showed me at least is that is what they are going to try to do, that is, they are not going to try to go down, you have to go back to right wing extremist or change entirely to flip flopping phony, they are going to try a hybrid dies that message, that is what biden did tonight and i assu

you can listen to the headlines from fox news already that the president is going to fail miserable blithat's the only plan they have is to bash the president at every single turn. they have no other answer other than bashing the president to make themselves look good. and as far as romney's campaign plan for the storm. they are no president. they have no power. all they can do is sit back and talk. so you can watch the headlines and all the conservative talk shows and the president fails. i tell you right now what the story is going to be. and that's basically all i have to say. host: let's look at how the obama campaign is retuning its depame plan in the wake of the storm. president is not attending an event in florida because of the hurricane. he is leaving florida to head back to washington. this is a report from the white house pool that covers the president. the president met yesterday with the head of fema and that's information we shared with you earlier. it says he also met with other emergency officials for an update on the storms path and the danger it poses. you can see him

with mitt romney and the bli blinking and the way he looked at the president and sparred with the moderatoression and combative role he was trying to play. >> do you blink because you're nervous? >> some of it is nervousness. at times i also thought it was a desire to enter into the debate. and trying to reserve himself from being rude. >> sort of like another way of going, oh, oh! >> yes. i have on to speak. i have something to say. >> reporter: president obama smiled a lot and didn't look at mitt romney a lot. mistake? >> i don't think that it was necessarily a mistake because the role that he was trying to play was less a fighter and more the compromiser. where he was looking was to pay attention to the audience. one of the things we want to keep in mind is who are we trying to communicate to? for obama, i thought he did a very good job of trying to communicate to the audience and looking more at the camera than at mitt romney. i thought romney's parol of playing the fighter, the aggressor was to look at obama. both of them in their own ways i thought were successful at playing the role,

policy debate here at this table, i want to put in people's mind, it's a really open question how moshl bligime is. we should talk about if the sanctions con strain more, who are they hurting? they're going to hurt average iranian citizens who we say and we should be in solidarity with. the question from a moral perspective, how much pain can we squeeze out of the iranian people for a government we all acknowledge they haven't chosen. whether that's going to be effective. those are big open questions not being asked now. >> that's a very big point. that's a level of nuance you won't get debated unfortunately. while i agree with the sanctions. fantastic. they're crippling. the first thing i'm thinking of is 1998. famous madeleine al bright interview on "60 minutes" and the complaint of what the sanctions did to the iraqi people. if you are framing the debate as if -- you know, after 9/11 a piece was yiten in the "new york times." if you want to find a very pro american country in the region, go to iran. that might surprise you. >> it's very true. >> very true, i think. and if this is having

the people who work in that industry are understand bli worried about their future and their livelihood had a bit of a rough stretch over the last few years as it makes up a shrinking portion of our domestic energy consumption. the inconvenient truth is that there is a war on coal but it's not being waged by the obama administration. the relent lgs assault on coal is coming from the natural gas industry. it can now produce energy that's relatively cleaner and cheaper than coal. the folks whose livelyhoods depend on the antique planet endangering technology of coal and the 1 percenters who own the mines are spooked. we have this asymmetry of passion. on one side of the ledger a concentrated interest of voters who care in a near life and death way of the exploitation of dirty energy and on the other side a weak nonchalant preference for us to do something about the whole climate change thing. barack obama isn't going to rectify this imbalance. the only way to get a sustained climate debate is international conversation is to create a cadre of citizens who will balance that ledger who care
