weighing in, stephen gallagher and robert lohst., i'll start with you, erin and i have been talking about this all morning and on previous days as well. where can we go in the economy and the markets if the consumer does not feel comfortable? >> for a few quarter, actually the economy can do pretty well on growth and it's simply that production is so significantly below consumption and we're running off inventories at an amazing rapid clip, we need to see production rise just to the level of consumption and that is going to produce healthy growth readings for one quarter, probably two quarters. eventually, we need the consumer to kick in a little better once it rises to consumer level that further production gains are going to be dictated by the next step taken by the consumer. and that's growth outlook for 2010 that remains tentative or iffy, but if we see confidence rise like we did this morning and confidence rise like this morning's report, i'm actually encouraged that the consumer will be kicking in more meaningfully lie the en

here now to debate the issue in our face-off tonight is maggie gallagher, the president of the national organization for marriage. good to have you with us, maggie. and also a law professor at the university of pennsylvania. good to have you with us. >> thank you. >> let's turn to what the administration said in its brief in defending the act this week. it reads -- you say you were shocked by this brief. why so? >> there are two issues. it's true the obama candidate had a position paper that he's against the defense of marriage act. but he also went in a big publicized interview and promised the american people in an interview with rick warren that although he's for equal rights for gay people, he doesn't include marriage among them and now his administration is filing a brief saying the one federal law that defends marriage as one man and one woman is discrimination. it's a brief that says it's against it but then pretends it's trying to defend it. there's more shocking things in there. >> we'll get to those. your reaction? do you agree with what maggie said? >> i don't. let's be clear

when fox news was breaking away from the first obama town hall, gallagher says any contentious questions, any yelling, we'll bring it to you. the other night, 1500 people were lined up for a clinic providing free health care. it made me think there is the existing health care system. i think news organizations have made an honest effort to unravel the complexities of this health care issue. let's face it, covering angry, shouting folks is more fun. >> no question about that. that free clinic was one example of that we had it on the cover of our paper as well, this week. if you look at the coverage what i was struck by, talking to voters and seeing people, how well-informed people were about this. not necessarily -- all the information was not accurate. >> they knew about the death panels? >> i think that was another thing taken a bit -- perhaps given more attention than people thought. but without question, a lot of news organizations are devoting a lot of time to serious coverage of this. but it's a complicated issue. it's impossible to break it down in a long newspaper story, let alone
