senator hagen. >> thank you mr. chairman. this is an amendment that affects the sort of global schools network. a number of years ago north carolina worked with the department of state to develop the global school network and it really helps prepare students in the global economy that we have going forward right now. it's been extremely successful, and right now we have 14 school districts that participate and another six or signed up for next year. currently we have 200 visiting teachers participating in this private amendment, about 5,000 students are being taught by the is visiting teachers. i want to first say that there is no federal money allocated in this. and the reason for this is to help clarify that each state can set the standard for the visiting teachers as almost comparable to the exchange teachers in our university systems. this amendment clarifying it is unclear whether any state could actually have a visiting the teacher exchange program. so i would ask the support for this amendment from a clarification stan

i see obsolete map labels like hagen and ceylon and british honduras. their names are a conduit to my childhood and school cafeteria or piano line from an exercise farm. i find my vacations around places like land fair, quinn drove, whales near the white hazel next to the whirlpool on the red tape. and get my picture taken during a trip to thailand next to the sign at bangkok's city hall full of 163 letter names. names don't have to belong to be memorable. you can visit all the lanes and villages like any hill. scratchy bottom, with wayne, cox play. the eccentric folksy roadside history, cheese quake, new jersey, ding dong, texas. most of these came by their names honestly. cheese quake is a corrupting of an indian word meaning up in the village. ding dong was named for a ringing bell in bell carry the. the scene too good to be true because they are. take a 58 letter welsh village that i won't say again. plain old land fair pull when an enterprising local taylor gave it the longer name as a publicity stunt to bring in forest. maybe they needed to buy a

. >> there's a difference between the flavor of the week and hagen das black walnut.he time. that's what you can call me. >> so karen hunter is an nbc contributor. matt lewis is a contributor. we're going to talk about that. karen, we have seen donald trump, michelle bachmann, rick perry. now herman cain being at the top. do you see anything different in this candidate? our polls are showing him having the strong support. especially among key conservative. >> he's been there through those people. he's risen and risen. all the way to the top. and i don't think this is a fluke. i agree with him. even though i don't like black walnut ice cream, it's not my flavor. but the analogy was nice. >> and you have that song stuck in your head. >> and i want to read a piece from "the wall street journal." a hundred other people could be president. what candidate is best for voters? are other candidates letting romney off the hook? >> i think romney has, in a way, skated. if you look at his record, he has flip-flopped on almost every major issue. including ronald reagan. and i thin

there's a difference between the flavor of the week and hagen das black walnut. good all the time. >> if you don't have a job and you're not rich, blame yourself. >> let's bring in our company. the washington bureau chief, david corn. good morning. >> good morning. >> so this new poll shows he has taken over rick perry's spot and he is the leader. what's the appeal of herman cain? >> he's having a great month. good for him. he's got these great one-liners. he really connects to the tea party crowd who has been apathetic. and that's great. i'm not going to call him the flavor of the week, but i'll call him the flavor of a couple of months. i think he's going to be the alternative for mitt romney, but i don't think he's going to be the nominee. >> is this more a not romney vote than a proherman cain vote? >> you can chart it almost point by point. mitt romney gets in the mid- to low 20% and every poll that nbc has been doing for months, the only question is whether others come up and go down and coaless that antiromney vote. i'm waiting for people to see under this

when senators isaacson, hagen and lan drew proposed the qrm, they specifically warned against basing it on a high down payment requirement. instead, it was intended to provide incentive for lenders to originate lower risk -- not no-risk loans -- based on a more rigorous underwriting standard that insures the borrower has the ability to pay their mortgage bill. if this is not changed, the proposed rule would put financing out of the reach of americans and drive more business to the government-backed fha, and clearly right now these are the same type of borrowers we need to help us remove some of the excess inventory. the housing crisis wasn't caused by low down payment loans, but by risky underwriting and nontraditional mortgage products. at the center for responsible lending, between 1990 and 2009 more than 27 million mortgages were made with low down payments. these loans doesn't carry the risk features found in most subprime loans. they're much better indicators of how a loan will perform than the size of down payment such as the type of the loan, the amount of the borrower's incom

i want to follow up on senator hagen's line of questioning. the reason for the outcome -- i want to tell you, mr. secretary, our bankers were told by the regulators, their primary regulators, that they qualify, that their application would be supported, and then the regulators, when the denial occur, you're the one delivering the denial, not the regulators and the connected any inches from the folks who told them that they would receive -- and they could not get any answers from the folks who told them that they would receive funds. i suppose the of the complicating factor is that, at this stage in which the dial occurred, brigid the denial occurred, so close to the end of the program -- the nile occurred, so close to the end of the program, there -- the denial occurred so close to the end of the progam and there was no room for peel. >> we did not rely solely on the judgment of a primary supervisor. we relied on the judgment of a committee of their peers. individual supervisors, we wanted to make sure that there were not too tough or too soft

senator hagen. >> i appreciate you holding this hearing. we're here to talk small business lending fund. in north carolina, eight banks have received over $155 million in capital to lend to small businesses. it is no doubt that is helpful and positive. i think the hopes for the program were much higher than that. the banks that were approved to participate are pleased with the program and had started lending. more were frustrated with the communications from the department. i heard from community banks that set after they applied, they did not hear back for weeks. i have heard from others that there was little explanation of why they were not approved. if you can comment on that, was very standardized process to respond to applicants? was there any formal way for the banks to appeal or seek review of the decision not to approve the application? i think the timing was very late in the game, in the process. there has been an incredible amount of frustration on their part. why did it take so long to approve applications? because we put in plac

kay hagen is in the house. her daughter just got married. congratulations.ly and intelligent mayor of asheville. [applause] last time i was here terry said she could play basketball. it turned out she was a cheerleader. as you may have noticed, i came here on a plane. it was a pretty nice plain, but i am leaving on a bus. it is pretty hard to miss, and over the next few days we are going to take it through north carolina and virginia, and i am going to get a chance to hear from folks about how they are doing and what direction they want to take the country in. i will do a little bit of talking, but mostly i will do some listening, because there does not seem to be much listening in washington these days. people do not seem to be paying much attention to the people who sent them there in the first place and that is a shame, because once you escape partisanship end point sharing in washington, once you start listening to the american people, is pretty clear what your leaders should be spending their time on. we should be talking about jobs. when you hear what

[inaudible] senator paul. >> [inaudible] >> thank you. i have an amendment that is directed to all titles. it is repeal of "no child left behind." while i know i'm not be able to get together a majority on this and there may be some symbolism to this, i think it is important that when a law has 37 states that have asked for waivers, d.c., and puerto rico, there's something wrong with it. i would like to give people in the committee an opportunity to vote for repeal in "no child left behind." there is a significant coalition of people who think we made a mistake. i know we have people who are well intentioned with trying to fix education. the national education association says this bill, while probably improving something, still relies heavily on outcomes of test scores, prescribes top-down models of turnarounds, takes away teachers' rights to have a voice in their own evaluation system. heritage, a con
