this room are very clear on the fact that there has been a considerable shift as it relates to national faith leadership and their ability to be apolitical versus political, and that shift has happened, one, because of in many cases what you all have been discussing for the last hour which is the irs attack on those that would attempt to be political and focused losing status, but i think that one of the challenges in young leadership being able to model not just what dr. king was about but the legacy that i think comes from the black church in particular and that's using the prophetic voice to speak to issues beyond this that of church, to that of life, and because in many cases they don't always see it, and i think that there is a great deal of discussion about the legacy of the church as it relates to social political issues and the ability to be able to mobilize around them and not a lot of modeling, and so until that modeling happens, it doesn't exist and we can have a lot of rhetorical discussion about it, but i will close with this. i think the whole notion of this discussion here is c

national dialogue? >> they have great faith in the notion that over time if they keep talking about the economy, that's what the election will be decided on. they put out the excerpts from governor romney's speech, and contrary to some people's expectations or hope that he would weigh in on what he thought of the president's decision on not deporting younger people, he's basically going to take the same position he's taken which is people want to know my position, what the president did, my position is i would do something comprehensive that would supersede that. he's not weighing in on the principle embodied in what the president did. i don't think it matters. it's certainly the case that the president is going to do better with hispanic vote than governor romney and certainly the case that that could decide the election. >> right. >> they're going to try to win on the same kind of rhetoric he's been going with before which is is for hispanic americans, who haven't done well in the obama economy, that's what you need to know and the president on immigration didn't do what he said he'd do. your origina

national security. it runs against all principles of good faith and good neighborness and is a great violation of international law. therefore, as we step into a new state of affairs with syria, i must underline that our depth perception for syrian regime has changed with this incident. we now regard syrian regime as a visible threat to our national security and the rules of engagement of turkish armed forces have been modified accordingly. we have acted in restraint so far. yet we will not hesitate to take the necessary steps within international law and reserve our right to respond to this attack. however, let me be crystal clear on a crucial point. the measures to be taken by turkey will be of a defensive nature. we have consultations yesterday with our nato allies under the framework article four of north atlantic treaty. we have asked for solidarity from our allies and they have declared that they will stand together with us in the spirit of full solidarity. the border between turkey and syria is also the border of the allies. we welcome our allies having stated that will remain -- of the developments of
