make us grateful things are not even worse.ake this exchange with kathleen sebelius over rising premiums. >> i think premiums are likely to go up, go up at a smaller pace than what we have seen since 2010. they are far less than what was before the passage of the affordable care act. neil: let me translate. sure, you're going to continue to pay through the nose. the grateful you'r you are not g to be paying as much through the nose as you thought you might be. it is called settling, folks. i call it surrendering, folks. and i see a pattern here, folks. we will still pay a ransom but not as much as we could have. who will still have an anemic recovery but counter blessings at least we are not a depression. the grateful they are not trillion dollars deficits. you see this pattern, right? bad is the new good because it is better than awful which is the new baseline. we're so grateful if any bit of good news that comes up. this is twisted but this is happening again and again. we have gone from health care for every single american

[laughter] leaders and dignitaries of the european union, representatives of our n.a.t.o. alliance, distinguished guests, we meet here at a moment of testing for europe and the united states, and for the international order that we have worked for generations to build. throughout history, the best means to resolve inevitable conflicts between states. it was here in europe through centuries of struggle, through war and enlightenment, repression, and revolution that a particular set of ideals began to emerge. the belief that through conscience and free well, each of us have a right to live as we choose. the believe that power is derived from the consent of the government, and laws and institutions should be established to protect that understanding. those ideas inspired a clan of colonists to cross an ocean, and

that's why i'm so grateful for the no care -- for the new program. they took me around the grocery store and told me how to read food labels, how to buy more fruits and vegetables, and about eating whole grains. the best part of learning that i can feed my family a healthy, home cooked meal on just $10. i was shocked. because of cooking matters, my kids are eating and actually liking brown rice and whole wheat bread. we are grilling and baking food instead of frying it. and we now know that half our plate should be filled with fruits and vegetables. and when we made a simple change, my kids actually lost weight. my son lost 11 pounds. another great payoff to living a healthier -- another great payoff to living healthier is being here today. i am incredibly honored to introduce the first lady of the united states, mrs. michelle obama.

we are grateful. to each of you, no one comes to capitol hill with more credibility than this organization. no one understands the importance of what you are doing. this goes beyond care of our wounded warriors. are our values and commitments. what are we willing to do for those who understand a little bit about service to this nation. less and lessthat people serve in uniform. you is a good thing because know what comes with that service. somebody still has to do it. the rest of the folks that are not doing it need to understand. veterans benefits are not a charity or a lottery. this works.the way it is my secondary thing. we have to get it right. it right because it cuts to the core of the nation. what is the next generation looking at in terms of getting rights? it is broader than that. it is healthy to have debates appear. it is not healthy when veterans are put out there and their well-being is put at risk because we have political differences. it is healthy to have differences. you find the comm

released near frederick or hagerstown and because so little is known about them, brinker is just grateful for getting a closer glimpse at these beautiful birds. >> this will never happen again in our lifetime. >> they are spectacular. >> beautiful birds. you just don't want them near your plane. >> not in the engine. >>> we're looking at a yellow alert tonight down from a red alert. you're welcome, mr. mcginty. >> thank you. >> see what he did for you for the luck of the irish. >> i'm a clove leaf grateful. >> what i found cool yesterday, it was snowing in the low 40s yesterday and it was 70 saturday. let's look at the temperatures. i love graphs. do you? >> i get very excited by graphs. >> i knew you would. 70 saturday, 48 yesterday, 32 today and only 40 tomorrow. our average high is still in the 50s. our average high should be 56 to 55 degrees. that is crazy. of course, we had snow with that big temperature fall. let's start with a live look outside, our live michael and son weather cam, actually a beautiful shot, temperatures still hovering around 32 at national. winds out of the north

women, grateful to my neighbors who welcomed me to the land of large dreams and open skies. every day i listen to the dream, my dream. my dream began amid a nightmare. murderous war in iraq that destroyed not only the lives of many of my friends and relatives but an entire country and culture. that destruction began long before the war, long before the contents, iraq was a broken country, a place ruled more by fear than law, a place where making a decent living was for many an impossible dream. the american war brought hope to be disenfranchised iraqis. sins that hope evaporated replaced by violence and bloodshed. the americans were an excuse but not the cause of that nightmare. the hatred and the money in my country, the death continued. are from that now. today on a cool morning in san diego i walked out on the pier of imperial beach to hear the wind pushing against my body tearing at my clothes and sandpaper in my face. it is a wonderful feeling. at 6:00 in the morning the beach is nearly always deserted. as if i have the edge of the world completely to myself. i wait a l
