christine brennan, "usa today" sports columnist. we mentioned earlier in this broadcast that nike, in a statement, is standing by, at least it sounds like it, they support and are standing by tiger woods. what's your response to that? >> well, no surprise at all. in fact, it would be stunning news if nike said it weren't doing that. nike, we have to remember, is the company that signed tonya harding after the attack on nancy kerrigan. they will throw money at anything. the key ones for me are accenture and at&t. the other day i tried to reach both of those, jim. accenture i called in the morning and again five hours later. accenture is be a tiger. you see it in all the airports. it's so embarrassing right now. and the spokeswoman never, ever got back to me. nine hours, no phone call return. they acted as if they didn't even know who tiger woods was. >> so are you suggesting they're on the fence? do you think they're on the fence at this point? >> well, i guess after nine hours not returning a phone call with the question i asked, ar

christine talked about the fall from grace. tiger woods is a great athlete.e doesn't speak much but he represents a lot of products. we put him up there on this pedest pedestal, and we haven't knocked him down. it's through his own actions. what does he do to try and repair that damage, or can you repair that? >> they're only building you up to knock you down. that's one of my ten commandments. >> jim: but he did this? >> but we all do this. >> jim: come on. >> we're all guilty of something. the point being is, we're human beings. we're going to screw up at some point in our lives, okay? when you do, you have to go repair the internationl damage come forward with a sincere and credible apology. >> jim: have you heard the apology yet? >> we're not there yet. he's still repairing the internal damage. i think this guy is in shock. i think he's going to posttraumatic stress disorder. for someone who's had a controlled image to have hell break loose for this guy, you don't absorb this right away. i have been around a lot of people who have been deal with big celeb

and in washington, christine brennan, "usa today" sports columnist and a commentator for espn as well. but, first, tiger woods admits to personal sins and being far short of perfect in a statement posted on his website. here are the comments. i have let my family down and i regret those transgressions with all my heart. i've not been true to my values and the behavior my family deserves. i'm not without fault and i'm far short of perfect. i'm dealing with my behavior and personal failures behind closed doors with my family. those feelings should be shared by us alone. although i'm a well-known person and have made my career as a professional athlete, i'm dismayed to realize the full extent of what tabloid scrutiny really means. for the last week, my family and i have been hounded to expose intimate details of our personal lives. the stories in particular that physical violence played any role in the car accident are utley false and malicious. elin has always done more to support our family and shown more grace than anyone could possibly expect. no matter how intense the curiosity of p

christine brennan criticized tiger's statement at the start of your show.isn't tiger correct he is dealing with a personal private matter? >> larry: technically, why is it our business? >> i think it is because, a, he wants a hundred million dollar a year in endorsement, $90 million a year. he says i'm a good guy. pitches the family guy. he runs a school, we're supposed to believe he's a terrific guy and he's messed up here. >> larry: we're short on time. if gillette has a commercial to run tomorrow, do they run it, with tiger shaving? >> absolutely. i disagree with the premise that because tiger or any other athlete has unique and extraordinary athletic prowess they give up their right to privacy. this is the media's prurient interest run amuck. this is a private story exploded into the public air waves because we're fixated with scandal. at some point, here's hoping america gets scandal fatigue and we don't see this kind of coverage. >> larry: well said. we have a great show coming tomorrow night. thank you all very much. tomorrow night, jobs, there's a m

you do it in a more precise, christine way by getting the genes, putting them in a plasmid which is avehicle to insert genetic material, put it in and injected directly into the host, into the arm of an individual. it goes into the muscle and starts cutting for the protein and presents the hemoglobin on any human cell that is histocompatibility coz it is right in the person's on. it makes a very inefficient way to call upon the system to respond. that is exactly the way we respond to antigen anyway. it gets presented to the immune system in association with cellular elements. these are in various stages of development not quite ready for prime time at all for influenza but it is something you will be hearing from gary and others. the other is a recombinant subunit vaccine. we spoke about that when the press -- you heard about it because it is pretty far advanced in that. a little bit of a different twist. you take the gene and instead of putting it directly into the person, you put it into what we call a vector. in this case in one example the vector is an insect virus which means it

christine roemer, who is here today, tapped to head the council of economic advisors, as well as larry summers, who i have chosen to head the national economic council, described an imminent downturn comparable in its severity to almost nothing since the 1930s. tim geithner, my incoming treasury secretary, reported that the financial system, shaken by the subprime crisis, had halted almost all lending, which in turn threatened to pull the broader economy in a downward spiral. peter orszag, my incoming budget director, closed out the proceedings with entirely dismal report on the fiscal health of the country, with growing deficits and debts stretching to the horizon. now having concluded that it was too late for me to request a recount, i tasked my team with mapping out a plan to tackle the crisis on all fronts. it wasn't long after that meeting, as we shaped this economic plan we began to see some of these forecasts materialize. over the previous year it was obvious that folks were facing hard times. as i traveled across the country during the long campaign, i would meet men and women

governor christine gregore of washington state, he if we try to cost shift to the states we're not going to be in a position to pick up the tab. bill ritter, governor of colorado, a medicaid expansion should not operate as an unfunded mandate for the states. the governor of montana, the governors are concerned about the unfunded mandates. another situation where the federal government says you must do x and you, meaning the states, must pay for it. the governor of ohio, ted strickland, the states with our financial challenges right now are not in a position to accept additional medicaid responsibilities. governor purr dew of -- purdue, -- there are more and more that we could quote. the point is that virt -- is that virtually all of the nation's governors expressed a concern about this and alluded one way or another about the disconnect of washington and the states. the point -- the point i was making before, washington seems to bark the orders, but it's with no regard to the difficult financial challenge that many of these states are in. let me point out one final point here. these new
