host: in "the new york times" by peter goodman, after job training, still scrambling for a job. talk about the record 6.8 million americans who have been officially jobless for six months or longer. the profile of one gentleman who was trying to find a job in new york, in brooklyn recently applied for welfare benefits because it cannot find the job. he said the training was fruitless -- no one is hiring. mr. goodman reports that 100,000 americans have enrolled in the programs only to remain out of work. it intensified skepticism as training for a cure for unemployment. what advice you have four folks thinking about going into some of the job-training programs or taking on debt to go to college for some work force prepared as training. guest: i think people uncovering that should really think carefully about it because it is something that haunts you years after you are placed in a new job. but i think the article, if you were to read into it, it clearly says we are seeing improvement in how we are focusing job- training on jobs in demand. his story is tragic. we don't want anyon

goodman's quote. the underlying bill adds $34 billion to our ever-increasing debt. when democrats passed their only unemployment insurance extender bill that was offset by other spending cuts last november, the administration hailed it as a, quote, fiscally responsible way, adding that fiscal responsibility is essential to the recovery of the economy and the creation of jobs, end quote. the cost of extending the democrats' unemployment insurance policy is growing because their failed stimulus bill has not created the promised jobs. democrats predicted their trillion dollar 2009 stimulus bill would create 3.7 million jobs. instead, the debt has grown by $2 trillion and nearly three million more private sector jobs have been eliminated since then. democrats promised unemployment would remain under 8% if their stimulus passed. yet, it remains near 10% today. a total of 48 out of 50 states have lost jobs since the stimulus passed. however, our colleagues keeps spending and keep ignoring economic realities. that is totally irresponsible, and with that i reserve the balan

extension of jobless benefits of that legislation is scheduled for road just a few minutes after goodman is what this morning. they say democrats do not have a way to pay for the cost of extending those benefits. senate judiciary committee votes today on the nomination of selena kagan. democrats call the 12-7 lead to the on the question really is the margin of error for river. democrats are united in backing a dinner broken so far are unanimous in their opposition are those senator linda grant may vote for kagan. there is little doubt that the full senate will confirm kagan. a pupil scheduled to release this is the california voters are not rock-solid on their opinions of same-sex marriage. 51 percent support 42 percent opposed 7% have no opinion. when giving a third option of allowing civil union's banana marriage, 34 percent preferred the alternative drop in the support down to 44%. 19 percent favored no legal recognition and 3% have no opinion. also in developing in the news this morning the oil spill in the gulf of mexico scientists are not convinced yet the cap over the blue note ro

right after that, because carte goodman will make the 60th vote in what is a necessary piece of legislation, we will take up and pass unemployment compensation. [applause] i think that it is a remarkable symbol of whom carte is and how important the senate is and how unimportant the word interim is. it does not make a difference. he is a united states senator. carte is our most recent senator. he will have all the powers of any other senator. he probably will not have the biggest home base at the beginning. he may have to walk up one floor to get to the first floor, but none of that makes any difference. in the senate, that is why the words sr. and jr. has never meant anything. it is what the you know -- do you know? can you express yourself? can you engage the rules of engagement? can you reach across the aisle? can you bring others with you? and most importantly, how much do you know? that is house senators are judged. there is a seniority system that i have begun to like much more. [applause] but it is really superficial. senator carte goodwin, when he officially takes on that name, will

peter goodman writes that more than the environmental catastrophe, the disaster has become a festeringeminder of the disarray afflicting so many areas of the national life. we're continuing our discussion about how president obama can rebound, based on a section of "the new york times." republicans, carol, go ahead. caller: i think the president is doing a very good job. he had to pick up and try to resolve what he walked into. instead of us complain, we need to go to the table and work together. once the issue is resolved, we know what the true issue is. we look at him and we can see, but look at all the gray hair he has gotten since having been in office. anyone can sit on the sidelines and talked. host: what is the true issue? guest: that he is an african- american young man. i have been here all my life and have gone through these issues myself. but i'm looking to the hills for my strength, and knows he is doing the same. i believe he will make it, and make it to a second term. host: hold on. in a book with the washington post" and the opposition, sophia has a piece entitled "it is

>> certainly the democrats hope to have the possible votes for the filibuster and senator goodman who replaces senator bird and will sign in for the procedural vote scheduled for 2:30 tomorrow afternoon. in addition to him there is possibility for three republican moderates, senator snow and collins from maine and brown from massachusetts. all three have supported short extensions for unemployment benefits. and as well as a republican from ohio, there is some combination of those various lawmakers plus the democratic caucus leadership expect to have the votes to overcome this hurdle tomorrow. >> if that procedural vote is invoked, what is the next step for the bill? >> that kind of depends on the republicans at that stage. procedural they would be up to 30 hours of debate. and that the party could insist on occurring. i think that democrats would hope that once the culture hurdle was overcome, that republicans could allow that time to be handed back to move to a final vote. i doubt they would do that wednesday but seem to move to that final vote on wednesday. when they do, once they o

look amy goodman says with exception to the rurals. it is very important to question the rulers. the price of democracy is eternal vigilance. we have to be more vigilant. host: got the point, caller, from brooklyn. he writes president obama doesn't go as far as the % anti-american left. he saeid i believe in american exceptionalism just as i suspect the brits believe in british exception exceptionalism and the greeks believe in exceptionalism. to obama it is nothing more than casual chauvinism. norfolk, virginia, ken, independent. what do you think? caller: i think that america still is exceptional. i think it is an idea based upon individual achievement assertiveness. we have challenges that we need to accomplish and address and there are tiles we do -- times when we do and tiles we don't but i think it is an depositional country. host: the author uses a sports analogy while the fans of the white sox and yankees may be chauvinistic the white sox have been in five world series and won three the yankees in in 0 and won -- in 40 and won 27. are the yankees no more exceptional than

goodman. i am thrilled that he is appointed. i will start out by saying that i am so happy that he is a good man. my life has been blessed in so many ways by the work and the presence and a friendship and co. and advice of the various members of a good win family. i respect their work ethic. i respect their automatic cents of public responsibility. they seek out what needs to be done and go about doing it. they do it in various fields. but they always do it in the interests of west virginia. cart as a lot of experience. the governor has covered some of that. what i like about him the most is that i have an inside source in the family and it is his absolute commitment and dedication to the people of west virginia. you could have all the qualities that i mentioned before, but if you do not have that sense of when you get up in the morning of what it is today that i can do, whose vote why have to get, what compromise do i have to make or refuse to make that affects the people of west virginia in the best possible way. washington is
