. >> did congressman cleaver respond to your letter? >> well, what we have gotten so far is that he will wait to respond later. he feels that he is right now too engaged with this job fair. so i will look forward to speaking with congressman cleaver when we return back to washington, d.c. if i don't hear something from him prior to that. >> would you do us a favor? when he gets back to you, would you let us know right away so we can be fair to cleaver and see if he's going to take action against carson and maxine waters? >> yes. >> here is my theory about why this is happening. i put forth this last night. when a guy like carson and maxine waters speaks in these terms, they're always speaking to the choir, to people who are anti-tea party, mostly democrats, mostly liberals, who love barak obama. that's their forum here. and i believe that the cdc and other pro-obama people are very worried that african-americans aren't going to turn out next year to vote as they did in 2008. these tactics are being used to demonize mr. obama's oppositio

before i'm going to play something from emmanuel cleaver.k you, what did you think of the president's speech last night? >> i thought it was an interesting speech but a gutsy one. depending on who you think he was talking to last night, he was right on base or dead off base. and so that remains to be seen. >> right on base or dead off base mean -- >> if he was talking to members of the cbc and telling them to get up off their keisters and get into the streets, maybe he was dead on. if he was talking to the american people, talking to african-americans about where their fight is, then maybe the comments were misplaced. >> people were a bit critical of it because they said that for people who have been unemployed for a few years or have lost their homes to repossession, saying, you know, let's move. stop complaining may not have been the right message. >> i didn't hear him as a really aiming at anybody other than the black political leadership that was in the room there, frankly. i mean, he was telling them to stop complaining. stop criticizin

cleaver: i will. mr.you brought up infrastructure and that's an important conversation. you served eight years as a mayor of a major city. would you speak to the importance of infrastructure and what it can mean to job creation and economic development in communities across america? i'm from a rural community, i have 88 small cities and towns in my district and they don't have access to money to build infrastuckture. the infrastructure uh bank you made reference to would bring new life to rural communities. i know you served as a mayor. talk about the relationship between infrastructure and job creation. mr. cleaver: what is generally said is that you get 4-1, jobs to money spent, if we do an infrastructure project and those jobs are long lasting. most of the infrastructure in this country is in decrepit condition. most storm water suers in cities around the country are over a century old. our roads are collapsing, our bridges are collapsing, we saw in minnesota two years ago what happens when we neglect

we're going to try to get information to him. >> congressman cleaver also told me that the president can only do so much. that's what he said and that it's important the public get involved if they want to influence policies. >>> a florida millionaire is found guilty of killing his wife. holly hughes tells us why his story didn't hold water with the jury. and we take a look at incredible images of streaks across the night sky as a rogue satellite crashes to earth. ♪ [ horn honks ] ♪ oh, those were the best of days ♪ ♪ i still feel the summer rays ♪ that graced our backs as we went down the lane ♪ [ horn honks ] [ male announcer ] when your car is more than just a car to you, the right insurance matters. are you getting the coverage options you need and the discounts you deserve? for an agent or quote, call 800-my-coverage or visit travelers.com. the healthcare law gives us powerful tools to fight it... to investigate it... ...prosecute it... and stop criminals. our senior medicare patrol volunteers... are teaching seniors across the country... ...to stop, spot, and report fraud. you

. >> joining me now is missouri congressman emmanuel cleaver, the chairman of the congressional black caucus. sir, nice to see you this morning. the president said stop complaining. and congresswoman mechanics een waters today said she didn't know who the president was talking to. who do you think the president's message was aimed at and how do you think it's going to be received? >> well, i think the president stepped away from his prepared text as many of us do who speak a lot. and in the passion of the moment, he talked about the complaining that he's hearing around the country inside the party. and he's saying that that's not helpful, join in, we need all of the members of this coalition working together so that we can successfully deal with reelection. i think my colleague, maxine waters, is also right when she says that this would not have been said to another audience. but the reason that it would not have been said to, say, the hispanic caucus or to an assembly of gay leaders is that president obama is much more comfortable with and willing to engage this kind of an assembly b

and congressman emanuel cleaver took president obama to task on black unemployment this week. saying, "if bill clinton had been in the white house and failed to address this problem, we probably would be marching on the white house." well, tonight, two african-american scholars come on to defend the president's performance. and let me finish tonight with a moment of decision for president obama, and it's a big one. we start with the fight for florida. clarence page is a "chicago tribune" columnist and he starts off the discussions tonight. you know, you look at these numbers, clarence, and you and i have been through this a few rounds. here's the new quinnipiac florida poll, 57% disapprove of the president's performance, 39% approve. that's below 40. the worst score of any state the quinnipiac's been looking at. the poll shows that 53% of florida voters say president obama does not deserve to be re-elected. that's kind of a punch. >> oh, yeah. and we know, though, that florida has taken it on the chin for years, because of the housing market in particular. and their -- >> all

times have definitely changed since the cleavers, but whether a family today means one parent, two parentsex parents or grandparents, there is still something simple and magical about sitting face to face and sharing dinner. >> thanks for a nice supper, mom. >> reporter: dan harris, abc news, new york. >> go online at abcnews.com and tell us what you love about family dinner. don't forget, "nightline" later. and we'll see you right back here tomorrow. good night. >>> tuition take over at uc berkeley. we're live with a group of protestors who occupy aid building. >> the banks have been bailed out. and we seem to be getting kicked out. >> human cost of the bay area foreclosure crisis and a list of legislation that might help end it. >> one of the silicon valley big business is charting a new course tonight. meg whitman chose kren to lead, the hp way. >> changes coming to your facebook page. not going over all that well in the bay area so far. >>> there wasn't much applause at the end of the trading day. another big selloff on wall street trigger bid fears of a double dip recession. good even

emmanuel cleaver who is the chairman of the congressional black caucus he called that budget compromisean's sandwich. remember that? clearly the president has not been trying to court them behind the scenes but publicly saying stop crying, stop complaining. this white house is concerned. it's not just a problem with independents they're having. they're having a problem with their base to some degree that feels left out. if you look at the segments of the country that have been hardest hit by the economy, african-americans, hispanics, unmarried women, young people. those are all part of the president's base. they're really having a tough time with this economy. >> schieffer: john, i want to go back to this debate. it was just fascinating that the republicans had down there in florida. bill krystal, who i would think is one of the leading republican strategists and commentators on republican affairs talking about rick perry in this debate said-- these are his words-- no frontrunner in a presidential field has ever had as weak a showing as rick perry. it was close to what he called a disqu

state of texas recently and right we had a case of going back and just today there was one more for cleaver foster so i guess things are always possible but we're not sure here but you know another thing happened today which is two lawmakers from the state of georgia one senator and one representative they're now asking those who work in the prison to strike or to hold the sick out so basically they have nothing but just the bare bones minimum amount of employees there to morrow have we ever seen anything like that down the fore. not that i know it seems sort of unlikely i mean that they're going to get it even if you know a couple people decided to do that i doubt they could get enough to actually not be able to carry forward with the execution but i mean i think there is a you know a real kind of central point to be made here and. i mean. the people pushing for it is execution are right i mean he has exhausted all fields and he's been given a lot of it. but the fact that you know he is exhausted all of the checks and balances that our system affords somebody aleutian and there's still thi

the number of black americans unemployed the figure is just about seventeen percent as congressman cleaver said you know the president is have a single low united states card that's up to the congress and wow just wow you know it's like the people who are ox news woke up today and said hey how do we talk about those black people who live in this country they exist right we usually never mention them unless there's something bad to say but you know if it's obama's economy that we should just go for the juggler far the worst number that's out there to rub it in i would just like to say welcome mainstream media to reality yet sixteen point seven percent black unemployment is a huge problem in this country but it's been one for a while if you look back at every month of this year black and inflame it was always much higher than overall unemployment in july was fifteen point nine percent in june it was sixteen point two percent in may it was also sixteen point two percent i'm not going to keep going but i think you get the point it's been that it's a really big problem and one that needs to be

from texas coming up next hour and we'll talk to the chairman of the caucus, representative emmanuel cleaverut what he calls a jobs crisis for african-americans and he wants urgency from the white house in dealing with that problem. it will be very interesting to see what they have to say about it. they are outspoken all the time and so i'm going to press them on what do you want to hear from the president tonight and what can you say to sort of satisfy you? also, can you believe this, it's been two years. conrad murray trial starts next week in los angeles. the jury has been seated. it was seated yesterday. we'll have details of who they are and we'll talk to holly hughes, the former prosecutor and criminal defense attorney. i'll be in l.a. all next week covering that trial and again as i said, i can't believe it's been so long. the interesting thing if you hear from family members, most of them believe that he has some cu culpability if not all of it. the family will be at the trial as they were with every other trial michael jackson was involved with and talking to people around him who s

way, on this show, when i said that john lewis was spit upon by a tea party group, it was emmanuel cleaver who -- >> laura: never happened. >> by the way, it never happened that joe biden called them toyses either. you can debate or not debate. >> laura: alan, can i ask you a question? beyond the rhetoric, 'cause i think in the end, i don't think most people in the country, the language that's used, it's kind of interesting, but the bottom line is what's happening to america right now. and i actually woke up in the middle of the night last night, as i often do and i thought about a lot of things. i was thinking about the debate and what will happen this week. i thought about the democrats. i really did. i thought, if i'm a democrat today, why are you guys still betting on obama? alan, you are a smart guy. you can't believe that of all the people in the united states today, all the democrats, business owners and so forth, that obama is the most qualified to handle these big challenges. do you? >> thanks for telling me what i can't believe. he will be reelected. >> laura: but it's not my que

 >> bill: impact segment tonight, congressman emanuel cleaver from missouri told the mc"the columbus dispatch" ideal newspaper chain that african-americans are not getting enough help from the feds, quote: bill clinton had been in the white house and failed to address the problem, we probably would be marching on the white house but there is a less volatile reaction in the cbc because nobody wants to do anything that would empower the people that hate the president, quote. with us now to analyze dr. marc lamont hill who teaches at columbia university. we just got a statement from his offers saying he was taken out of context. i have been taken out of context myself thousands of times. be that as it may, what's the primary beef among african-americans vis-a-vis the white house. >> i can't speak for all african-americans one central criticism is that the president hasn't addressed a so-called black agenda the way other presidents would have to. >> bill: what does that mean? what is the black agenda? i do this for a living, i have no idea what that means. >> black agenda agenda for all

emanuel cleaver said if bill clinton had been in the white house and failed to address this problem weody wants to do anything that would empower the people who hate the president. james carville. mark penn. senate democrats saying no to the so-called jobs bills. it seems like defections are en masse. >> instead of them arguing what is not working now they are going to play the race card that's a racist comment if that was a white house conservative in the white house -- >> sean: or democrat for saying bill clinton. >> absolutely. they would be screaming racism because they are doing policies tar harming black americans. >> sean: why didn't the president when the congressman andre carson, when he said tea party members want black people hanging from trees in america. why didn't the president say stop it. instead his answer was we are not going to be the speech police. >> why didn't he. you didn't hear anything from jesse jackson, al sharpton, not that you would. you didn't hear from the black caucus members ear, only representative west. for obama not to make a comment, he should have

chairman cleaver and brother pane for all that you do each and every day. thank you, dr.tt, president and c.e.o. of the c.b.c. foundation. and all of you for your outstanding work with your internship program which has done so much for so many young people and i had the chance to meet some of the young people backstage. an incredible unbelievably impressive group. you know, being here with all of you, with all the outstanding members of the congressional black caucus reminds me of a story that one of our friends, a giant of the civil rights movement, reverend dr. joseph lowry told one day. dr. lowry, i don't think he minds me telling that he turns night in a couple of weeks. [applause] he's been causing a ruckus for about 89 of those years. a few years back, he and i were together in brown chapel, a.n.e. church in selma. [applause] we have some selma folks in the house. [applause] and dr. lowry stood up in the pulpit and told the congregation the story of chad rack and in the fiery first, you know the story. it's about three young men bold enough to stand up for god. even

mitt romney is the wally cleaver and rick perry is the luke duke. the reality is that all their policies are -- these same policies out of the war on workers that we were talking about a second ago. if you take a look at it, corporate profits are going up, wages are stagnant. unemployment is going up. at the same time the reason people talk about the tea party being the barbarians at the gate, people talk about the tea party that way because by cutting government spending right now we're taking demand out of the economy. we're cutting out workers. if we look at the unemployment numbers every month you're seeing more and more government layoffs while private sector's creating jobs. we need both government and private sector jobs to stay in place. we have more demand. more growth and get out of this. >> no, we do not. stop praying at the altar. >> that is going to have to be the last word. thank you so much. tony katz. jamal simmons thank you so much. we appreciate your time. >>> u.s. stocks sharply lower in early trading the dow down more than 211 po

emanuel cleaver told the "miami herald," quote, if former president bill clinton had been in the whites problem with unemployment among african-americans who would probably march on the white house, a less volatile reaction in the congressional black caucus because nobody wants to do anything that would empower the people who hate the president. he's intimating if the president were white, maybe the congressional black caucus would be saying, hey, african-american community, march on the white house, because this guy ain't doing anything for you. >> in this case, congressional black caucus is a stand-in for the liberal base, the obama base. is this going to keep them happy? might keep them a little unhappy. they wanted him to fight the good fight, be the harry truman. his is what the other side is doing and it's wrong. if you want to see things change, stay with me, i'll give them hell. is obama going to do that? not very good in his harry truman interpretation. you never know. he'll make the case for what is in the end sound economic policy. >> to sum it up, then we'll talk about the

i think it was cleaver who said that. and boehner came out basically saying, you know, he got 98% of what he wanted. i think one of the things you've obviously seen is that there have been some disaffected feelings among his base. you saw recently his approval rating plummeting among hispanics who are really going to be key to his reelection. then you see kind of a robust republican debate going on on the oth side between pry and romney, romney was masterful in some ways in laying out this 59-point plan, looking like a competent c.e.o. and, you know, while this speech was going on he sent out press releases basically saying this was rehashed, stimulus money and basically saying that this president isn't working, meaning he's not doing his job and he's not working, his ideas aren't working for the country. >> rose: as you mentioned, you're non-partisan. what do you think the perception of the president was going into this and whether this kind of speech could begin to change that perception? >> well, i think perception was

. >> let us talk about a cleaver restaurant. >> the ancient chinese secret is that there's no shortage of chinese restaurants in america but there is something that's collated with kind of mexican food the me stand in line and cater yourself there are companies that already do this, it is a growing market chinese is sexy and a revenue grower. but to serve yourself of pick and choose what you want is a huge opportunity and there of 100 percent and the last two years about 300% in the last four years. and now they are expanding their concept to include a chinese serve yourself buffet. >> they have clearly thought this out thank-you see you tomorrow. >> a couple of live looks outside this afternoon first from the roof camera. it is a little hard to make out with the fog that has been sitting on the stage rocket. has been edging into oakland and officially has rolled over the bay bridge toll plaza. low clouds covering the area satellite pictures showing the fog up and down the coastline and over san francisco. it is over oakland and spreading into the bayshores in the next several hours. s
