>> it would be dever stating. and yesterday montgomery county and baker and folks around the state joined us to make that case. a lot of the attention is focused on the federal budget situation, the state budget situation, but local county governments are really where basic services are provided. schools and public safety and public roads and things like that. and our budget, our revenues have been squeezed tremendously as well. >> we expect the executive from the various counties to say. that but if there is a political future for you beyond that, as governor of the state, is this an idea that would have merit, because the governor says it's only fair that everyone shares? >> the issue is the boards of educate set the salaries for teachers, so what the governor proposed is senn the bill not to the board of education but to the county government and give us no relief on a state mandate of how much we spend on education, and so we really think we can't afford it but we also know these are tough times in the state l

guests of ronald and nancy reagan on a trip to california in 1983, reagan's deputy chief of staff, mike dever, asked the queen's private secretary why she was taking o long to prepare for the evening. the queen needs her tiara time, he said. the private secretary explained that she has a little kit with tools that she uses to decorate certain diamond tiaras by hooking pearls or emeralds or sapphires or rubies on them depending on what she's wearing. her former crown jeweler, david thomas, confirmed to me that this pastime is something she enjoys a great deal. well, such private glimpses may surprise many people. elizabeth's behavior as queen as always been reassuring and consistent and predictable. her wise conduct and her unifying, her role as a unifying force are more valued today than ever. long admired and respected, she is now beloved. when she celebrated her golden jubilee ten years ago, people realized that she was about stability, continuity, calm through adversity and humor when things were going wrong. her former senior adviser, charles anson, told me. suddenly, they got the point o

the secretary of hhs, but i just can't understand why he will not say i thought it was a good eight dever massachusetts. we have the evidence and it's not good, so i made a mistake and therefore -- but he won't do that so that is what he said it's very frightening. what i'm going to do is buy the crash off of the coast and set up my liberty ship and we can all get our health care on the liberty ship. >> i would also like to underscore what was said this is why it is so critical that congress gets it right this summer. it will set an important tone on where the future of the health care system should go if the health care law can get repealed. and i will say also that it should be a cohesive plan and not just the kind of the alphabet soup plan of everyone's idea that makes no sense. we need to be able to explain to the american people as has been done in this book and in saving the american dream and everyone else has their own ideas on what to do but they all fit together in an important they come and i think that is another important feature moving ahead as this debate continues. do we h

falling on ed's question is that a direct reference was somehow an allusion to what mitt romney said dever de? >> that would suggest that every conversation that was held in any house of worship in the last week that contained within that one of the central tenets of the new testament about helping the least among us would have a political context. i'm saying if this president was explaining how his fave guides him. it was not political event. >> and finally, just -- as a matter of -- the administration policy on afghanistan, you said the combat wheat should shift to the afghan security forces by the end of 2014 which leaves open the possibility there will be nato and u.s. forces in the combat role for how long? >> well, potentially until that time when for security lead is the phrase we use here until the transfer takes place which as designated by nato and lisbon will be accomplished by the end of 2014. but -- the context of this conversation was the -- were the remarks secretary leon panetta made the lead of the possibility that they could be earlier. the policy is by the end of 2014. >
