not just an economic catastrophe, three wars, etc., etc. you wouldn't wish this on anyone. bless him for wanting to attempt to do something about it. but it was funny. when he was running for office, he wasn't the candidate of wall street. they were giving their money to mccain and hillary and some other people. when it looked like he might actually win, it is funny to look at the financial records. they just start writing checks to obama. oh, yeah, we like obama and eventually by the end of the election, goldman sachs became president obama's number one private contributor. so he took their money and now, you know, we're only eight months into his administration but we're going to see whether or not the decisions he makes are in favor of wall street or the working people of this country. i'm going to still side with the fact that he believes that the working people in this country are the top priority. tavis: let me challenge it. i'm challenging your thesis here on two grounds. i can see this, i'm no creative force like michael moore but i can see you making parody of this

what is too light, what is to lose, etc.my judgment is that the $2,500 cap is well within reason and will not have much effect if any. it may have some, [unintelligible] i think richard -- >> mr. chairman. >> who is paying for this amendment? i will just repeat myself. it is paid for by middle-income and lower-income people. they're the ones who are paying for this. the people utilizing these tend to be a little bit higher income and the pay tends to be for those in the lower income. i don't to overdramatize the point or overstate the point, but if you look at this proposal, that is basically what the shift will be. as middle and lower income people in this amendment will be paying for the higher and middle-income people, and that is if it is realized that much anyway. >> i remember a friend of mine bought an old vehicle one time and it was kind of rusty and he wanted it painted. we went to a place called grohl shive -- and i don't to -- what took place called earl sheib -- and i do not mean to put it down -- but he estimate

since the boots when etc., eight more u.s. soldiers have been killed in afghanistan. >> is really touching. >> l. miller is in town for an army conference. he supports the troops, but has questions about the war. >> it does not seem like we are making any progress. >> as the president is deciding whether or not to send thousands more troops to the war, public opinion is turning. recent polls reveal the majority of americans are now opposed to the war. >> the sttegy does not belong to any political party. i can assure you that the president the united states does not plan to meet the political base. >> the war's human toll is on display on the nation's front lawn. >> there were pictures of their of a young man who had a family. >> retired marine general james jones said the request for more troops is not the only option for afghanistan. the president's senior advisers will meet twice this week to discuss strategy. >> thousands of people gather to pay tribute to fallen heroes today. firefighters and family members held a memoria

it's completely manufactured here and it's used for wounds and burns, etc., and reconstructive plastic surgery. >> reporter: the company has openings in everything from the legal department to manufacturing. >> each device we make is almost completely hand made so it provides a lot of opportunity for jobs. >> a modern economy is different. it's a much more knowledge economy, it's much more technological economy. >> reporter: but those jobs could take years to develop. for now, some economists expect the unemployment rate could continue to rise until the middle of next year. anthony mason, cbs news, new york. >> couric: another reason we'll need more jobs: we're living longer. a new study says more than half the babies born in wealthy countries this century will live to be 100. three quarters will make it to 75. amazing when you consider the average u.s. life expectancy in 1950 was about 68. and we'll be right back. >> couric: three and a half years after hamas militants captured an israeli soldier, they released a videotape of him today. sergeant gilad shalet appears healthy and says h

yesterday i sent an e-mail to the bulldog that said do you feel like we're on the same level as the pats, etc. no onewins them all in the nfl. i'll take it. the fact of the matter is this. and you know, i went off yesterday. you know, the ticket says section 540 in my pocket went off and it is what it is. special teams will not win your game, but they can certainly lose your game and part of our special teams knead to go under the microscope. clayton, the ball "pops" out at the end. i don't know if that was a criminal violation. i think he may have been trying to make a move to the goal line, but at that point, i'll give clayton a hall pass on that. as far as the officiating, john, don't you dare, don't you dare apologize for what you said on the sideline. i don't care if it was a cbs microphone there or not. tell them not to put your microphone on the sidelines. horrible officiating yesterday. and we'll get a letter from the nfl on thursday saying oh, we blew it. >> but bigger things happening. i want to bring in the match real quick. yesterday, daniels, what started out as conversation over

government does not have a right to or even if it violates other principles like freedom of speech,, etc. >> any particular reason why you think those issues might arise now? wjy now? >> we have had treaties but not of the same kind recently. i hang around universities and these are some of the ideas. it seems an inevitable process of globalization. there are concrete reasons to expect the legal systems of the world to converge, and a lot of people who have interest in seeing that happen. it happens in europe also predict in very surprising ways. >> let me pull back a little bit and look at the nearer term future. it is possible that the replacement of justice o'connor by justice alito will turn now to be one of the most significant shifts, far more than we may have seen before, or more than one can imagine with even the three justices on the progressive side being replaced by the nominees of president obama. i'd like to look in the near term assuming that the majority on the court with justice kennedy stays where it is predict where my that go? let me focus the question by saying when t

women should have access to the late etc. health information, undergo frequent health screenings and receive preventive care. sadly, nevada has one of the lowest mammogram screening rates nationally. recent estimates are that only 54% of women over the age of 40 have had a mammogram in the past year. nevada is currently ranked 48th in the nation for percentage of women ages 40 to 69 who have -- who obtain mammograms annually. this is unacceptable. unfortunately too many younger women think that breast cancer is something that happens to older women, yet it's the leading cause of cancer deaths in women under the age of 40. so we must redouble our efforts to reach out to young women, to increase awareness of the threat and the warning signs that lead to early diagnosis. that's why i'm proud to also be a co-sponsor of the early act. and too often women who have underghon a difficult surgery, both emotionally and physically find themselves forced by their insurance companies to leave the hospital before they're ready this, too, i

.. -- about the situation, oil, natural gas, etc.ussia is a key player in turkmen extent, which is east of the caspian. that is just about afghanistan. the greater picture is that ec afghanistan is the -- that we can see that afghanistan is a shortened route for oil and natural gas. that is the bigger picture here. i think in the long haul this is probably a poor decision. it is unfortunate host: cathy gannon of the associated press has a piece this morning in the "washington times" about u.s. aid to pakistan. there is a full article in the "washington times" in case you're interested in reading the whole thing. newark, what you think about afghanistan? caller: i think the president to deal with it. that is what i have got to say. host: larry, rocky mountain, n.c., independent. caller: i will try to make it short. we had at the window of opportunity to go in there and take care of business eight, nine years ago. we did not do it. when things get messed up so bad, there is no getting it right. afghanistan is the type of worar -- our m

bush was called nazi socialist, etc. now it's turned and now it's barack obama. we republicans did it to bill clinton for eight years. it always seemed that one side feels the need to delegitimize the other side. cannot be helpful for our political process. >> i don't think it is. listening to that rush limbaugh clip again, and i don't want to hear it again, it's barack hussein obama, something insidious going on in repetition of his middle name. you look at the numbers of people calling themselves conservatives and liberals in america hasn't grown very much on either end. it's just the tone of the debate and the noise that they're making that is swamping out the middle. it's important for people in the middle of this country to make sure that their voices are heard just as much as rush limbaugh's voice is heard. >> could i just come back on that quickly? >> after the break. we have to go to break. you know what's so interesting? katty makes a great point, 40% of americans call themselves conservatives. this isn't like the old split in the republican party where

say that many of our uninsured patients -- we support patients that have access to state insurance, etc many of our uninsured patients are not compliant with the medical instructions that they are given. there are many, many factors besides the fact that somebody is uninsured, that they might die, besides just the fact that they are uninsured. host: baltimore sun has a big story in the front page about some of the stimulus money coming out of the national institutes of health and going into grants to states. among those, the national institutes of health -- just talked about that with jack nelson earlier -- the grants distributed to more than 12,000 projects around country are funded under the 787 dempf -- $787 billion in federal stennis program and about $100 billion going to science and technology projects according to the administration. talking about congressman grayson. south carolina. angie on the democrats' line. caller: i don't feel he should be sanctioned. i'm one of the 47 million without health care. i'm trying to get it. i can afford the monthly premium but i cannot afford a

for time and attention, including drugs, gangs, state schools, street violence, homeland security, etcwe cannot lose perspective of that as administrators when we attempt to address each issue on an individual basis. we must invite the trooper officer on the road who is the one who, of course, makes all the difference. when he or she perceives traffic and what is the fifth -- flavor of the week, we lose their commitment and ultimately their commitment to safety. we can attribute the campaign's success to the willingness of the police department to participate along with the political pressure also comes the financial burden of implementing the programs. if congress or state legislators or the governor's highway safety representatives expect heightened enforcement and awareness, that happens that by getting more cops on the road and maur messaging to the public. and that means funding. i do not want to give you the impression that traffic enforcement is a pay to play activity because it is not. however, when running a police department, a school or a household, the project has a better

have a responsibility to keep the passengers informed to let them know where they're going and delays, etc. keep in mind that the first and foremost responsibility of the crew is always the passenger safety. and i think in the case of the emergencies, the passengers really do not have the right to know immediately if something is going on because the crew's first responsibility is to handle the problem. if it affects destination or timing -- >> that did become a timing issue. if they're 150 miles offcourse, that becomes a timing issue. >> if it does turn out to be true that allegedly they were asleep, they may have had quite a bit of catchup to do as they realized their predicament and attempted to correct the issue not to mention fuel planning and security concerns as well. >> rob thank you for your phone call. we already lost him. devon is calling us from new york. how much do you want to know when you're in the air? we lost him. i thought that was rob hanging up. we lost him. got an e-mail. this is something we can all relate to. don't be shy about giving us your opinions. you usually a
