one of them actor danny glover. his stinging criticism of president obama is raising some eyebrows and provoking thought. it was a hot topic when wolf was here for a strategy session with cnn contributors roland martin and donna brazile. >> roland, i'll start with you. i read that -- those comments by the actor danny glover on the website the daily beast. among other things he says this, i think the obama administration has followed the same playbook to a large extent almost verbatim as the bush administration. i don't see anything different, the domestic side. look here, what is so clear is that this country from the outset is projecting the interests of wealth and property, look at the bailout of wall street, why not the bailout of main street? tell me if elements of the african-american community agree with danny glover that they're disappointed in this president? >> the answer is absolutely yes. look, i host a show on tv one cable network, and we heard this. look, it is very complex and nuanced issue because the

there's danny glover and the rest. danny, what's this been like for you emotionally, to see this?i've had a relationship with haiti since i first visited haiti in 1973. so it was really painful. the work that transafrica reform has been doing with haiti, particularly randall robertson, the hunger strike to restore democracy to haiti in the aristide presidency and the work that our present executive director does in nicole lee. we've had a very close relationship with haiti with regard to the issues around immigration, with regard to the issues around development and sustainable development. those have been conversations that we've had ongoing with transafrica forum. also, many groups. >> larry: yeah. obviously, very involved. pete wentz, how have you reacted to this tragedy? >> interesting. i saw it on tv and i was thinking about how i was going to explain it to my son and more than anything, i think that it shows how the world can come together. and haiti's been one of the most poverty-stricken nations in our hemisphere for so long. and to take a disaster like this and to really

danny alexander. >> question one, mr. speaker. >> i am sure that the whole house will wish to join me in paying tribute to corporal lee brownson and rifleman luke farmer from 3rd battalion the rifles. they died in afghanistan this week, and our thoughts are with their families and friends at this very sad time. last night, i read through the moving tributes of their fellow soldiers to the immense bravery, selflessness, and camaraderie which they displayed serving their colleagues, the british people, and the people of afghanistan, and they will not be forgotten. mr. speaker, all of us have also been deeply moved to action by the still unfolding tragedy of the people of haiti, some of the poorest people in the world facing some of the most extreme hardships imaginable. and our thoughts and condolences go also to those families in the united kingdom who have been directly affected by the tragedy. we must, first, provide all support. secondly, improve international co-ordination. and third, we must help put the government of

we've got a book, danny kass' book, how the irish invented slimy. it just shows that much of american slang comes straight from iraq, including words you wouldn't believe like poker, just. it's a really hole hidden part of american language. if you look at, there's like three words from irish. in america today it's complete on since. millions and those of irish people came to america speaking irish. the words didn't go away. they just transmitted into america. but danny is the first person who's really don't do it methodically and shown how many of the most common words in the american language and slang are straight pretty much straight irish. we have not been shy to criticize the bush administration as we were not shy to criticize the clinton crowd. we were particularly around your. we don't think the democratic party is the answer to everything. so we did a "dime's worth of difference" before the last election basically saying there really isn't a dimes worth of difference between the two parties. which got a lot of democrats pretty mad. so we oc

and we have danny cassidy's book. that will be a very important book because it shows much of american stuff comes from marriage like poker and jazz. it is a hidden part of american language. three words from irish in american today is complete nonsense. millions of irish people came to america speaking irish. the words didn't go away, they just transmuted into american. danny is the first person who has gone through it and there were communist words in the american language straight irish. we have not been shy to criticize the bush administration. we don't think the democratic party is the answer to everything. a dime's worth of difference basically saying -- in many ways between the two parties. lot of democrats got pretty mad. we occupy a different site. we figure pretty large. when people say we must like the democratic party, we are staying out. you know lot about life and the world. that is what we are about. listening to the sound of my father at 5:00 in the morning, a ten word typewriter tracking away. that wa

danny alexander? >> question one, mr. speaker. >> mr.speaker, i'm sure the whole house will wish to join me in paying tribute to corporal lee bronson, and rifleman luke farmer from third battalion, the rifles that they died in afghanistan this week in our thoughts are with their families and friends at this very sad time. last night i went to the moving tribute of their fellow soldiers to their selflessness and camaraderie which they displayed serving their colleagues, the british people, and the people of afghanistan. and they will not be forgotten. mr. speaker, all of us have also been deeply moved to action ivies to unfold tragic of the people of haiti. some of the poorest people in world facing some of the most extreme hardships and imaginable. our thoughts and condolences go to those families also in the united kingdom being directly affected by the tragedy. we must first provide also for improved international cooperation and we must help the government of haiti. mr. speaker, this point i met with colleagues about this. i shall hav

they just transmitted into american that danny is the first person who is gone for it methodically andhown how many f.c., honest words in the american language ars sling are pretty much straight irish, gaelic, so i am going to publish my dad's memoirs which are classics, alaikum claude introduced by gore fidel in basically the politics and the bush administration. shy to crie bush administration as we were not shy to criticize the clinton administration. so we did a dime's worth of difference before the last election basically saying there isn't a times for the difference between the two parties. we have-- which got a lot of democrats pretty mad so we occupy a definite site and i wouldn't want to say nish because nish seems to be very small but i think you know we are figured pretty large and when people say there must be more to life than the democratic party even though we both the republicans that his counterpart saying come over here. you can learn a lot about the world. that is what we are really all about. my father would get up at 5:30 on a typewriter just like the number ten ty

if danny glover in lethal weapon or any of the other police chiefs insisting things be done by the book, they tend to like 200 slide power points, they like to haggle over the fog size and color, there has been more research done in the business world. it is very interesting. the organizations dominated by these individuals tend to rely on standardization. plans that based on past experience. this tends to work well on dealing with an activity that doesn't require a lot of change or an environment that is fluid such as construction. the military world such as supply. that does not work so well when you have organizations in a changing environment dealing with ambiguity and computer software. that is a prime example in the military world. organizations are more averse to taking risks and another interesting finding for the counterinsurgency survey only 28% of the army respondents said that their service and courage commanders to take the risks. that is a huge problem, initiative and risktaking are fundamental. a lot of people in the leadership fall into the intuitive thinking category. t

guys like danny smith, the special teams coach.o not an easy day here in san diego yesterday and certainly dud as the cleansing process begins out at redskins park. it is not just jason campbell. these are major decisions that the front office and whoever the head coach is, that these guys are going to have to com up with and come up with it quick. as you know, you've got to prepare for the nfl draft and you can't prepare for the draft and decide on a guy like sam bradford out of oklahoma unless you know or you think that you already have a quarterback in place. i think the qb position is the number one position that they have to identify in the off season. >> if you finout anything good out of yesterday, they moved up another slot in the draft. maybe that will help them if they are looking for the quarterback. you know, dave, when you look back at the season. it has been a season of turmoil. might just the fact that now, as we're starting to put the east aves new puzzle together, just the fact there may be some stability, might th

they might still come out with it tomorrow so state to end on that in terms of danny may and freddieat to do with them, i want to pose the question and opened up to questions or comments to people in the audience, what should president barack obamaÑixdçóÑiÑu were writing the new report for him, what is the most important that your organization thinks he should say in that report or what is the most important thing that you have learned today to put into that report? >> i want to back up a little bit. . i think the various presenters' touched on the same theme throughout the course of their presentations. one of the first things that we need to discuss is what is the purpose of these companies. do we want them to serve a public purpose? if there public purpose is to buttress the mortgage market and make housing more affordable and more accessible, it seems to me that they fm's cannot be a private entity. one of the first things the report needs to do is to back up and look at the whole issue of purpose. what role do we want them to serve? will they be serving a public purpose and is i

. >> danny sarcanian is also a senate hopeful, he too is blasting senator reid.d disgraces himself monthly, in his words, harry reid isn't just america's most vulnerable senator as he demonstrates daily, he's also its most embarrassing. that's a direct quote. there you have it, even though president obama wants to close the book on senator reid's comments, some are just starting to dig in especially in nevada. blake mccoy is a reporter for ktnv, how is this playing out there? >> reid is in a very tight re-election bid. any remarks like this certainly don't help his re-election campaign, but what we were talking to, we talked to the former chair of the nevada democratic party today, he says he doesn't see this going beyond a minor blip on reid's radar going into the election, because reid has a strong record on civil rights here in the state of nevada and in the country. so while the republican opponents of reid are having a field day with this, and are criticizing reid's comments, you'll notice neither of them going far enough to say that reid is a racist, and th

georgia, danny on the republican line. caller: thank you for c-span.ood to have open minds and able to talk. what you said about the gold standard, and watching this gentleman on tv, very learned. but i do have one question, especially about paul volcker back in the 1980's. what was it he was doing? i know he put a stop to inflation -- money tight and raising interest rates. we had a two-year recession, 10% or 11% unemployment. some people paid the price and it hurt the manufacturing sector because the dollar got so expensive relative to other currencies. i think that really is what started. between then and now, the amount of money for profit, their earnings every year, 20 cents for every dollar earned in america, to 42 cents. how will you have labor intensive industry and how would you have people working when all the money is going to the financial sector where you don't have to hire to many people. all this money, bonuses and everything else and nobody can stop it. last thing, the need to bust down and break up the big monopolies, oligopolies to pl

the place where danny and rachel were killed outside has been reconfigured a little bit that the hillsidedid cosmetic changes, but mostly they left at the same because it was very important for the survivors to feel they have lost their school. there's a really important psychological concept that kids can't feel this is taken away from them. they don't want to feel that the killers one. so they had to make several changes so it wouldn't feel, and sound different. so the clock of shoes sounds a little different. so subconsciously kids know something is different but can't put their finger on it. new paint and not sort of thing. so they changed that the mostly it's the same and kids now act as if nothing ever happened. >> dave cullen, there had to be lawsuits and money exchanged it for paid, who got sued, what's the standing? >> are a tremendous number of lawsuits. everyone you can imagine.stewed. starting with the killer's parents. but then the school district, mr. dean himself, all the sheriff's department, the maker of the drug eric harris was on, anyone involved in the gun transactions

dalton georgia danny on the republican line, good morning. >> caller: hello, thank you for c-span.e open minds and be able to talk. the first thing you said about the gold standard in watching this gentleman on tv, i just have one question. especially about bokor back in the 80s. what was it that he was doing? i know he put a stop to inflation but what he had to do he made money trying to raise the interest rates that we had a two-year recession, 11% unemployment so people paid the price for that. would hurt the manufacturing sector because the dollar got so expensive relative to other currencies, and now i think that really was what started it because between then and now the amount of money for-profit for earnings every year in the financial sector has gone from 20 cents on every dollar to 42 cents. how are you going to have wider intense industries and how are you going to have people working when all the money is falling to the financial sector or you don't have that many people. all of this money, bonuses and everything else and nobody can stop it. till you think it is time to

fourth of june, 2003, he said, "with agreement of the agencies and representatives from the number ten, danny preus and the press officer is john williams and james fever were involved," so they were quite actively engaged in the operations. >> i was making clear to the prime minister this has gone through all the people he probably would expect to take a look at some of the documents he's going to present to parliament. .. since that report, documents being released of the draft prepared by him with th%rbrbrbrb earlier. once we got to september the 5th an wednesday guide to september 5 in september 9, it was anything that anybody had written before, frankly, was to be used by john scarlett as he sawfish. but i did not see that as a draft dossier. >> when sir john scarlett passed you the first draft on september 10, i think you referred to considerable help from john williams. >> can i just emphasize for the sake that i'm not remotely criticizing john williamson this. he was totally, legitimately wanting to help in terms of the building the arguments, in terms of making sure that the presenta

host: danny, independent line. jacksonville, florida.never done this before but first, i am an independent and a member of the tea party nation and i've been listening to what's going on and personally i don't think anyone is too big to fail. i think that the government has over extended itself by of course spending more than it takes in. i was raised that you just can't do that. you have to budget your money and you have to spend only what you take in and keep some back for qsq)gency situations. the government wants to spend, spend, spend and print, print, print. i wasn't aware we went off the gold standard which we should have st stayed on. if anyone listened to what governor schwarzenegger said, there's only a group of people - um... who are taking care of millions of people who are not paying any taxes whatsoever. those are people mostly on the welfare system that was set up wrong and set up to keep people down. it wasn't set up to help anyone, because it's not set up to get anybody off the welfare system and those people have no inc
