certainly, franklin roosevelt did this. obama showed in his state of the union in 2010, but he was willing to challenge the justices who were sitting right in front of him. challenge them on campaign finances in the united states. i have no doubt that if this court -- the roberts court, strikes down the health care law which is coming up her argument next month, if they strike it down, all or part of it, i can president obama will be critical publicly. will he propose a court packing plan? i don't think so. obama is a very keen student of american history, and he knows that most historians think the court packing plan is one of the worst things printed roosevelt ever did during his tenure as president. what about comparing the hughes court and the roberts court and the two chief justices? well, there are certain parallels. both hughes and roberts were brilliant lawyers before they were appointed to the court. they were both appointed by republican presidents. but i would suggest you that there is a difference in their polit

(carl franklin) the characters weren't all good or all bad, they were flawed. i'm going to pull 'em over. and with that principle kind of established that this was a world where people had good and bad sides and where evil was not as clearly defined or as simple as it normally is in a hollywood film, that created a lot of room to interpret and to do a lot of human inner-character work. y'all want some rolls? (carl franklin) the fact that race was not the foremost issue in the film was in the writing, but it also coincided with my own view of racial problems that we have in the world. i hope to hell he does show his heinie up there, that piece of white trash and them two niggers are -- ow, shirley, you nearly broke my -- arnie, pass me them pickles, will yo

franklin: so it's very expensive. the bottom line is, we, as atlantans, as georgians, don't have a choice to protect the river. we need to leave it better than we found it, and it's really been a political advantage for me, not a disadvantage. people laugh about me being the sewer mayor, but they remember what i'm doing. griffin: we want people to understand, when they see one of our work crews out working on the mains, that that work is necessary in order for them to have good clean drinking water or to have a good, functioning wastewater system. franklin: you don't put a roof on the house one time. you don't fix the plumbing one time, any more than i get my hair done one time. if we don't continue to invest for the next 20 years, we'll find ourselves back at the same point that we were in the late '90s. if we don't protect water, we will be without water. we will be without industry, we will be without jobs, we will be without a healthy economy, and our people will be sick. so we don't really have a choice. we're go

there's scott on the left and franklin pierce on the right. pierce was a brigadier general from the war with mexico and democratic, excuse me, party politician. and scott, as i said, one of the -- well, the most important general in that war. and so they try to portray pierce as anti-catholic. this proves to be a huge miscalculati miscalculation, as people are not suddenly convinced that the whig party -- immigrants are certainly not suddenly convinced the whig party is now their friend. so immigrants continue to support the democratic party and the whigs, thereby, remove the last major source of difference. remember we said difference is important in a healthy two-party system. they removed the last major source of difference between themselves and their democratic opponents. the democrats, as i said, had nominated franklin pierce. senator from new hampshire. more recently a brigadier general during the war with mexico. the campaign was especially dirty, even by 19th century standards, and personal. a lot of what we would describe today as at

and then about franklin roosevelt. he's commanding a global power, a completely different undertaking at least in many of its parts. and he also built that broad base of very able leaders. putting republicans into the major positions early in the war, secretary of war, secretary of the navy, working across party lines in that regard. also doing the other great -- combining the other strengths of leadership that washington had done, but in a different key, in another era, in a different framework. now the question is what next? we can see that people took inspiration from lincoln for that same period of about 60 years that had worked for washington. and then there's a wonderful book by bill luchtenberg on the shadow of fdr at least to ronald reagan. even reagan turning against the new deal, but embracing that style of leadership on the explicit example of franklin roosevelt. and now what today? what for us? and we look at this country and find many great leaders in every field. we find great leaders in american universi

but that was franklin roosevelts great strength. he was always ready with another plan. >> a great improviser. >> yeah. >> you're right franklin roosevelt's great ins sprugs, the notion government might play a positive role in improving the lives of its citizens, but you also go on to say he never defined the boundaries of benevolent intervention in either the economy or in individual lives, and isn't that still where liberals are wrestling today to define the boundaries of government in their intervention? >> i think they're wrestling with the consequences of having failed to define them. i think there were certain boundaries that people would have felt comfortable with, and liberals went beyond them and i do blame liberals particularly in the '70s for failing to understand that they were no longer acting liberally anymore. they were merely redistributing the spoils of the system amongst various groups. the political scientist ted lowi called it and liberals turned on one another. feminists turned onblacks, on gay, on white working

ed perks is portfolio manager of the franklin balanced fund and the franklin income fund. is it ed,elcome bk. always great to see you. >> good to be with you, tom. >> tom: what is perception here? the european economy is in recession, the u.s. economy is slowing down. if that is perception, what is your reality? >> i think what's interesting is we see perception move around quite a bit. you don't have to go back that far to late last summer, when perception was have, very poor. subsequently improved a little bit, we've seen equitieseraly and now we're stalling out a little bit coming back to the the realization that things are relatively modest or slower growth in the u.s. and, yes, europetil has some tremendous challenges. >> tom: do you think we're seeing a repeat this spring of last spring and that could mean significantly lower stock prices. >> i think it's important, also, to recognize and acknowledge that we actually have made quite a bit of progress as well. so-- and over the subsequent period of time, countries have continued to perform very well. profits have stay

because franklin lists more than 200 synonyms for being drunk. we're going to give you a sample of that. we have a few very brave audience members who were doing a little drinking before this show. so they're ready to go. >> that's how we got them, peter. >> and they volunteered to do some sampling of the beer and give us a sample from franklin's dictionary. are you ready out there volunteers? >> we're ready. >> all right. go for it. >> all right. he is addled, he's afflicted, he's in his airs, he's been at barbados, his head is full of bees. >> he's been too free with the creature. he's fishy, foxed, fuddled, footed into france. he's loose in the hilts, he clips the king's english. >> pungy, pridy, as good conditioned as a puppy. >> in the suds, staggerish, he carries too much sail, stewed, soaked, soft, been too free with sir john strawberry. >> double-tongued has swallowed a tavern token, he makes virginia fence. >> whoa, does that sound like fun? all right.

on the west off of franklin street on the left side, you can see the loading dock. a large loading facility where trucks can pull in, maneuver inside the loading facility or back into their loading dock and then exit on franklin street as well. north of the loading dock, you can see the emergency drop-off area, so the emergency is going to be off of franklin street and not off of geary and post. as you can see, it will be on post street. there is also a small ambulance parking area with access right next to the emergency room, and that is it. there is also a shuttle bus to -- shuttle bus loading zone for the buses to load, and also, you can see on geary street, on the ride, there is a new muini bus stop -- new muni stop. that will be better for the driveways, so that is the hospital. here is the medical office building. again, geary is on the bottom, van ness on the left. this parking garage will be either off of geary, you can see that blue area, or it will be over here, and the exit is going to be only off of cedar. there will be no exit onto geary, and there is n

really looked at some of these issues -- matt franklin really look at some of these issues and talk about something i have been thinking about for some time, which is if you have shallow subsidies and make a higher percentage of affordability at a higher price level with the recipient, being a rancher or an owner, contributing more, you can produce more housing and begin to address the gap, which we will address in a few minutes as part of the housing study that has just been finished for the last year. but he had some really good ideas along those lines. to be able to do those kinds of things and coming from his present position in the mid- peninsula housing group, which actually has extension all the way up from the south bay and all the way up beyond nevada, so that is another possible source of housing, partnering with jurisdictions to try to deal with some of our housing needs. a lot of the same ideas we have heard before, but some good ones. i forget who it was brought up the idea, but the one-time conversion fee for condo conversions, which is a great source of funding. i thi

i would say franklin roosevelt would be another. all of these men they were, i think, one can say, that, washington was a little to the right of center. franklin roosevelt said he was a little left of center. i think, franklin, abraham lincoln was right down the middle. but all governed from the center. they really governed. and they tried to govern in ways that would engage a great diversity in their -- in -- in their country. lun c lincoln was different than wash work he was born into a democracy. he became a party man. washington hated parties. he believed in, a nation, washington's thinking was not precisely national. even as it became -- continental. he centered i think more on the great republic. than on an idea of -- of nationalism. but these men shared those same ways of, having, a set of values without an ideology. of having a large purpose without fixed and structured plans. of the sort that -- became too rigid and constraining. of working -- closely with the people, but reserving their own leadership. most of all, the cap

we have franklin roosevelt, the president. world war ii -- the event. you cannot miss for nick -- an exciting book with those events. you have the biggest military event in the world -- world war ii. in covering this, what we were trying to do is give a history of world war ii -- 300 pages, readable for people to grasp the war itself, the president who conducted the war. we have a chapter on pearl harbor, the dramatic attack. anita wrote the section on midway. the turning point for the united states in many ways. you have the generals, eisenhower, patton, marshall -- all conducting enterprises that were essential to victory for the united states. you have the atomic bomb itself. here we have to give roosevelt credit for thinking ahead of what might be developed that would make a pivotal difference in the war. then you have the end -- finally, of the great depression. which dominated the generation of america. coming to an end at the end of world war ii. you have a lot to work with. we work with those elements in the book "fdr goes to war." i would like

jumps out and both franklin and the woman are facing multiple charges. it is always exciting in la, la land as they say, sal. >> there is a few chase is from there coming every year and we always watch them on television. good morning, let's take a look at what we have, traffic is doing well on 101 to san francisco, into the bad commute and if you are driving on northbound 101 to the downtown area. it looks good if you are heading out to the high-rise. this morning's commute looks good and 101, 280, still looking nice if you are driving to the airport with no major delays, now let's go to steve. >> cloudy to mostly cloudy, we will get a few sun breaks, it is almost surrounded and there has band few light showers especially the north bay, nothing too heavy, low clouds and even some higher clouds, the sea breeze was hold onto your hat day, nothing too bad but it is a variable wind delay, due to cloud cover, low 60s with a little bit of sun and lower 7s, i think we will be lower on the coast. it does help areas like half- moon bay and san francisco, but it
