we do not have an understanding of exactly what needs to happen and how it needs to happen. i think education is critical. we have to push for an education that we're just not receiving for the most part. there are pockets of that happening, but i think that awareness will produce the next scenario -- the next generation of folks in entertainment, in the arts and all these arenas that are high-profile but with the embedded with this consciousness that will demand the stand up and say something. no more of the michael jordan cannot speak out because politics is not a good thing to speak out against. it will be the jamaican musicians, the peter toshes and bob marleys -- the people -- the politicians had to be responsive to what people were saying and doing because there was a movement around these high- profile folks. they cannot just represent the movement. they have to come out of the movement. it has to be present in our communities and schools and prisons even for that to happen. otherwise, we end up with the tail wagging the dog. these boats we have artificially created t

it happened. in my neighborhood, fights happen a lot.o you could either stay there and watch, participate or walk away. and i wanted to do the smart thing. i walked away when i seen the fight -- the fight was getting out of control because a lot of times if you're around when a fight happens in my neighborhood, they arrest everyone. so i didn't want to be a part of that, so i left and lo and behold six or seven months later, i was arrested for that crime. i remembered that day. i was -- i had moved back in with my grandmother and i was walking down the street to meet her at the store because she went to go get and groceries. when i was walking down the street, a detective's car pulled on the side and hopped out of the car and asked me my name and just put me in handcuffs and put me in the car. and while i was in the car, i was nervous and i was scared. i was really scared to ask questions, but i asked anyway. and i asked the officer could he tell me what this was pertaining to and he said we'll let you know when we got there. i was quiet

and that is happening right now. again, the sydney government and i agree this is happening. but you can see there is and these giants of course i really much more eloquent than i could ever be and i'm so delighted that if we've done one thing, it used to make sure that these are going to be excited did at the international criminal court. the ages of the children during these between eight and about 15. finally, the reason why to buy "when the stars fall to earth" go to help addicts in africa that are helping survivors of genocide resolve their lives. people like this guy, we have in rwanda a school for children, a new six goal, a school that teaches rwandan orphans and widows, survivors to read and write and to have a marketable skills so that they can feed and educate their children commit their fiery breaking poverty like parts of africa. we also have a school that educates orphans to speak english so they can get to the university and therefore when they have a good job because all of these are things -- remember what i said about how every one is an act of decency. all

we do not know exactly what is happening. if local journalists are unable to itself sensor for fear of being accused. it is difficult for them to cover. what we do know is that 60,000 people have been displaced from their home due to the -- which is linked to the militants. >> you talked about restrictions on journalists covering the country and yet you are here in washington. you have been working there for nine months. how come you are able to get away with the kinds of things that you were doing? >> this is freedom in terms of reporting information. i am able to do that because of my dual nationality. yemenis are not known to be aggressive to women. >> president saleh is in saudi arabia. when you look forward to the political settlement, what do you hope will happen? >> i hope that the independent voices are heard because right now the initiative, while a political solution is necessary, the current mode is very difficult. they are helping and they're not calling for an end to the regime. the move of the present is the fir

when it happened. how to prevent it from happening again. just what steps we should take to change it. >> reporter: the mayor says that the city aims to create a web page. on it a transcribed 911 tape. city residents spoke out at last nights meeting. their comments we will have for you coming up. reporting live jade hernandez. >>> today the decision could be made on whether a teenager accused of shooting and killing a three-month-old baby will be charged as an adult. this is the 17-year-old. the 16-year-old is in the plaid shirt. they have been arrested in connection with the east palo alto shooting. police believe the older of the two was the main shooter. the baby was shot when his family was driving home from a baby shower. it appears the shooting was a case of mistaken identity. >>> tomorrow a memorial service will be held for three-month- old isaac. the service starts at 5:00 in the evening. it's being held at the woodside chapel in redwood city. donations can be made to any well -- at any wells fargo bank. >>> president obama says you

for it to happen once, anything can happen once. for people to be willing with good cheer and high energy to volunteer again and again for this requires something hezbollah managed to do which is to buy in the level of households at home that women in the household worked hard to reach and teach, these women become the bedrock of the ideas and willingness to fight for them. i right about this a fair amount in the book. these murders have a very different flavor or psychological profile than those in gaza or the west bank. people i met in lebanon were grieving for dead children. not a single one of them ever said i am happy my child died in service of this war but they do say i am proud. i would say -- send another kid to do it. they work assiduously with their surviving children to instill in them a sense of pride at the martyrs in their family. it is the thing that makes hezbollah--people who are willing to die such a stable movement they can count on. in some ways it is breathtaking the sophistication of the social network that ha

if you look at what has happened within drop -- that is what has happened since dropped, this is a very quick view of the retention in the program. just to explain it a little bit -- here are the first group of police officers who entered. this is a useful member to explain what has gone on. the median eligibility use -- a police officer could stay in the program for three years. how long did they stay? the people who retired used 37 present site of their eligibility or about one year, the same ordeal -- same order of magnitude as sergeants and lieutenants. i will come back to that a little bit later. in summary, on the cost neutrality finding, in the simplest of terms, is drop encourages officers to work longer than they would have the outcome of the potential for cost savings are realized. the savings come from deferred training and deferred a health benefit costs. cost comes from changes in the retirement benefits. if it encourages them to work longer than they would have without it, the cost savings potential are realized. if it is other than that, they are not realized as well. our

find out what's really happening to the global economy with much stronger no holds barred look at the global financial headlines. report. we've got. the biggest issues get the human voice face to face with the news makers . the week's top stories here on r.t. down lot of calls of genocide charges against him monstrous out of noxious as he appears in the hague the first start to serbia's hopes of these arrests getting a fast track into the e.u. suffer a setback. for libyan intervention loses out of your does nato eager to reverse a stalemate rolls out heavy gun sheds the move is fears of a coalition maybe preparing for a ground invasion. health inspectors focus on a german restaurant to haunt the source of a killer he call i box but there's a little relief for struggling in spain after being initially blamed for the outbreak tyria has already killed nine hundred eighty four new york and infected more than two thousand. i feel like natural disasters are getting more ferocious and more frequent scientists say can be almost impossible to predict deadly tsunamis floods and wildfires a prom

i do not understand why it happened.

time happened three times over several hours while we were hanging. out is where the front dividing the country into to swear is going to break one flashpoint within the rubble. it's a very well and a strategic location getting a discount would mean taking control over the country's economy. also seems to be a red target. while it looks like. can hardly scale. they were like my family that had just gone to the shop to buy some foods and this happened six of them died i couldn't believe it and this used to be a restaurant for all companies start where friends gathered after work we were eating with my colleagues and there was a boom we knew what that was we run we try to help those who are strapped and the helicopters came too and started to shoot us as if they didn't want us to say girlfriends. from once to me to another stories are repeated. reconsidered by our problem alone. and in the food related so every man every being a good one being a big kid our civilians never. this country this is probably. a more frequent is the sound of bombs and warplan

window this happening how large will the and the and how much will be the premise. so in planning for the governments for the authorities you can advise them how much the protection how much the preparation needs to be and what about what happened in russia last sound are we witnessed a number of wildfires that took lives and dozens of people do you see that coming that's something we do not want to address right now but the need with the evidence was that it was much for a long time much too dry the winter was not enough the use of water was very slow and usually is a lot of people need a lot of fresh water and then of course you have to speak to you saw the conditions were bad already often and late winter early spring and when that some fire started it grew out of hand and that's one of the dangers which were this risk assessment comes in. how much do we need to be prepared in time far and they're not last summer. five years ago. to minimize the risk to minimize the damage can you predict what's going to happen in the summer watching it i'm not an expert but i'm

that's what happens when you are writing a play. over a period of 3 1/2, 4 years things happen in your personal life and in the world around you that continue to sort of feed into the play. so the no no boy aspect, i just gave him a speech a couple days ago where he says, because i really want to bring up the issue and make it relevant to contemporary times. he says, doesn't anybody care what happened? they took away our rights. doesn't anybody care? is the constitution just a piece of paper that means nothing that the president can sign another piece of paper and then we lose our citizenship and they can do whatever the hell they wanted to us? it's wrong, it was wrong then, it was wrong now and i don't care what kind of questionnaire it is, i'll sign it no no and i'll yell it at the president, i'll yell it at roosevelt, i'll yell it at general dewitt and it matters. it has to matter. and to me it's the speech i gave him was in part all just drawn from what's happening i think in the country right now in relationship to the war, who

it's a different reactor that won't happen here well that didn't happen in the accident similar with different mechanism in different reactors three months ago and. accident means battery isn't going to be enough we're looking at this and we haven't decided yet to order the nuclear power plant lesson number two we've got in vermont yankee. we have more spent fuel in one spent fuel pool all the used fuel it's very hard but it's causing so many problems in japan then all four fukushima reactors put together now we know that dry storage is much much safer and we're looking out and they have some dry storage it was ok but even with the even with the tsunami it was ok and the earthquake the nuclear regulatory commission read license this plant which is just like the earth for twenty years ten days into the fukushima crisis i wasn't warm on that day and happily used to live near it without ordering the spent fuel to be emptied into dry storage so it would be safe i was shocked dr thank you so much for being with us that i think you appreciate it it's i think i mean security's what's going

exactly and i think that what happened was there was kind of an idea that was happening that maybe a recovery was on the way because banks were making money again there were huge bonuses being paid out last year and that was an issue there was a lot of backlash and i think that's one of the reasons they actually salaries instead of keeping bonuses but the fact now that they're not making money shows that perhaps the economy isn't growing as fast as i thought it was the numbers keep coming out suggesting that growing across various sectors and i think that if there's not money being made on main street that usually kind of effects financed the financial sector as well and if you're not making money trading then these banks can keep the bankers on so i shared scared should we be i mean should i sell my crap and move to some nice sunny country somewhere far away from either the euro zone crisis or the u.s. . i'm not sure about doing that but i think there was basically i think what happened as well is because banks started to make money again these financial services firms started to ma

that won't happen. >> okay. president of the united states calls you up and he may already have, as far as i know. he calls you and he says mr. chairman, he wants to be deferential in this call. mr. chairman, i want to be re-elected president of the united states in 2012. i don'know who my republan opposition is but i know the issue is goi to be the economy what would you tell him, mr. president, i'm so flattered you ask me. here is what i want to say. and if you do this, i think your chances of having a different unemployment picture by november 2012 are very good, what would you tell him? >> i would remove the particular barriers that create uncertainty. >> back to where we -- >> of these people, i want to you tell me who is the smartest who is the most machiavellian and, and who was the wisest. nixon, ford, carter, reagan, bush, clinton, bush, obama. smartest. >> it is a tie between clinton and nixon. >> rose: rlly? >> yes. bo had-- both had and have very high iqs. >> rose: who was the most machiavellian. >>

people talk about what's happening in the courtroom, but a lot of focus on what's happening outside. look at this ugly scene. this was yesterday. these are these would-be court watchers. they've been fighting for a seat, to get inside and watch the trial. well, we shouldn't see anymore scenes like this one we saw yesterday. we'll tell you exactly why here in a second, but let's get details about what's happening inside the courtroom right now. a live picture here. they are in session on this saturday. casey anthony's attorneys are presenting their case. she, as you know, accused of murdering her 2-year-old daughter, caylee, back in 2008. david mattingly is keeping an eye on this case for us. he is live for us. david, what are we seeing so far this morning? >> reporter: well, t.j., we've only heard a few minutes of testimony today, and already it's turned out to be a very bad day for the defense. that's because the judge in this case has threatened the defense attorney, jose baez, with contempt. he may face those charges at the end of this trial because he called a witness to testify,

whole advertising thing is happening. so you have these marginalized peoples and what happens, is it possible to develop a kind of at that moment a cross-cultural community? is it possible to have kind of a multi cultural community that emerged from that moment? and so, in particular, that's what i wanted to explore. and part of the back drop is there was this extraordinary jazz scene happening in that area. there's this wonderful book called fillmore harlem west and also there's several other books that are about that particular era. but that's all happening too, people like billie holiday, count basie, duke ellington, they were all playing in the fillmore district, bop city, plantation club, jack's tavern. that's another world that i was intrigued by and the fact that there were neisei jazz musicians. also the no no boys, which i'm not sure if you are aware of, but one of the story lines in the play is about the character called chet monkawa and he was what was known as a no no boy. at some point everyone in the internm

none of that happened. the alarms were turned off so that they could record information so that we knew what happened so that the alarms could go on and she was sitting on the bridge and she said oh, my god the alarms didn't go off and she pushed the button that made the alarms go and what transocean and bp is saying why didn't she push the alarms minutes earlier? it's her fault. no. it's their fault that they had those alarms inhibited and what we learned that is true -- it was true across the way. they know the largest owner operators of offshore in the world. everything that happened to be on the rig is a reason to be concerned about every rig. haliburton the largest services in the world, camera the builder of the b.o.p. horribly failed in these operations. every single oil company who didn't know what to do in response to this disaster who hadn't planned who hadn't prepared guilty in this disaster. and what the bottom line is that all these companies are to blame and all of them need to be held to acco

so what happened today? well, we saw some changes in san francisco where san francisco was melded into one senate district instead of two, setting up a potential battle ahead between mark leno and leland yee. that's an interesting one. but the other -- >> belva: the big news, i believe, what happened down in fremont? in the south? >> in fremont, it's a good example of ethnic communities that really participated in this process. the indian american community, the south asian community, pakistanis, afghans, indians, vietnamese, really participated in this process. and yet their community, one of the fastest-growing indian communities in the country, is not the largest, was split in half down in the south. they're very upset about that. this is just one of the places where these are not final lines. these are draft lines. and there's going to be a whole group of meetings still. people can still weigh in on this process. people think that can be changed. >> the changing demographics of california, we know there'

none of that happened. the alarms were turned off so that they could record information so that we knew what happened but that the alarms would go on. what andrea did, she was sitting on the bridge and said, oh, my god. the alarm did go off and pushed the button that made the long ago. what transition ndp is trying to say is why didn't suppress the alarm minutes earlier. it is her fault. no. it is there fault they have the alarm and hit it. and what we learned is that is true across the fleet. the largest owner operator of offshore rigs in the world. everything that went wrong is a reason to be concerned about every rig operating around the world. halliburton, the largest energy services company here horribly five failed and operations. the builder horribly sales. every single oil company he did not know what to do in response who had not planned, had not prepared, guilty in this disaster. but the bottom line is, all of these companies are to blame in the to be held to account and pay up. bottom line of the

what's happened to the nature at the sea storm surges sea waves you know invasion the new thing is that we try to estimate how large the risk years which affects the infrastructure people and that is using the existing high level of expertise and packaging into a new direction towards a new student up of the well of the population florence and so the question for the general society with us. at the progress has been very good we started because we didn't have so much investment that i knew most of the people and so we could. do a lot of experimental computer runs on the big computers in the office and women also used but now we wait for our computers to arrive and go into the production runs progress has been great the opportunity to work in most gold rushes through a living exciting and i think with the talking to my partners to my colleagues over the last few days from the other grounds we all take on the challenge and some just think about it and we like from continuous faustus possible one of the possible up locations of this project that you're working on could perhaps help in the

that is a big part of what has happened. not talking about the prison industrial complex as well as the military industrial complex. rikers island has 1400 people -- 14,000 people. i worked at a high-school that had a mural on the wall. there was a figure, a man dressed in green, split in two. the front have has a gun, a rifle in his hand, military fatigues. the back half has the prison inmate uniform. on top it says choose your dream. so those are your options. we have seen it hurts our families apart. women are the fastest growing population to be incarcerated. we see women's prisons, men's prisons, teenagers -- they have a baby prison for the babies. they build a prison every year based on third and fourth great test scores in black and latino communities around the country. that is a fact. i can give me the documentation on that. so when the police are grabbing us up, it is a function of capitalism. white supremacy and capitalism, they have had a very long dance together. the police are filling the prisons because prison

but why it happened. and recommend changes to prevent it from happening again. >> authorities say they will be looking into the driving and medical records of the truck driver. and an autopsy will be conducted to determine if he took any drugs around the time of the accident. >>> we have information tonight about the welding problems on pg&e gas pipelines. "the san jose mercury" reports that pg&e noted numerous failures on the gas line right next to the san bruno line. documents as far back from 1963 to 2009, show a pattern of defective welds along 109, that makes up the peninsula from milpitas to san francisco. that runs along the san bruno line, which a shoddy well insint rated ansar neighborhood. pg&e stuck with an inspection method designed to look for corrosion and not poor welding. pg&e plans to replace much of line 109 by 2014. >>> here's an update on a story we reported last weekend. police in the north bay have released the sketch of a man they say assaulted a woman last friday. they say this man

as it happens so my opinion on libya immediately after how it happened was that i'm opposed to what we're doing in libya a through z. and let's. just start out with no congressional authorization to go into libya where in the u.s. constitution does it say that because we don't like a foreign dictator we should go in and topple that foreign dictator where was the military threat aren't we involved in a civil war aren't there five other countries in the middle east right now that qualify for the same intervention as we have done in libya there just doesn't seem to be an end to all this and we're bankrupt we're building roads schools bridges highways and hospitals in all these other countries we're borrowing money and printing money to do that and don't we have those same needs here in this country i think that's the question that a lot of americans are asking right now actually we have to take a break for a minute ever that we're going to come back and we're going to have a lot more with governor johnson in just a few minutes. you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so you thi

and it happened before. last month this fly away inflatable playhouse in arizona injured several children when it flew away. there have been thousands of injuries. we showed video of the bounce house to gary of magic jump rentals in los angeles. >> that's unbelievable. >> reporter: he says accidents like this are easily preventable by make sure the house is properly anchored. >> it's an amiewnsment ride and with all amusement ride there are a little bit of risk involved. >> reporter: he says the bounce houses should not be used in wind over 20 miles per hour. >> and it's all about being careful and being safe. doing it the right way. >> oh my god. >> all right. that was abby boudreaux reporting. we want to tell you about a great event that's happening in the community. healthy wealthy wise and beautiful sound pretty great. that is the focus of a conference going on neck weekend and you can attend. heart and soul awards this week -- next weekend will have everything for everybody. donna jacobs is senior vice

what happened? >> what happened here. well, these trees were obviously, cut down, and we hope that they got a permit to do so. this is the permit application for anyone that wants to remove a tree in the public right of way. it is the same application you want if you want to remove a tree on private property, but within ten feet of the right-of-way. the ordinance that lien we advised to include the same protections for what is called significant trees. those are trees located on private property that happen to be within ten feet of the public right of way and also meet a certain size requirement, it is not just anything, it needs to have, a diameter of the trunk. which is measured at 4 1/2 feet above grade, needs to be greater than 12 inches. the canopy with the -- width of the tree needs to be greater than 15 feet or the height of the tree would need to be greater than 20 feet. >> if that's the case, these would be significant tree, even if they were ten feet back from the public right of way. the public right of way is

and continue to happen. so, the public defender's role is unique and natural and i am confident that had we not been doing our jobs with respect to those brought residents of the henry hotel, those would never have surfaced and perhaps the officers would never have had to answer for that conduct. [applause] >> i would like to ask a question and anybody can answer this. you brought up this culture that sends to -- seems to bring it misconduct on. what is it about this culture that makes some cops go bad or road? are the temptations so great because you are dealing with narcotics when you are under cover? what is it about the culture that breeds these bad things out. -- breeds these bad things out? >> i will answer that. i worked in narcotics for a long time. plainclothes for a long time. i participated in large seizures, one of them involving $1.4 million in cash. and i never to the dime. i am comfortable with the officers i worked with, that they were of the highest caliber. as i said earlier, there are offi

so what happens when the contagion. it's great mark scheerer i mean well when we will we have more than pig. because there is a significant danger on the contagion beyond what's right in the markets. i think is going to be i think the markets the two percent mistake and so short term are looking on a whole european situation again i'm going to come back to what i was trying to say in the beginning that the period of fiscal consolidation and of the propaganda structural reforms what's the positive for europe in general so i think the risk of contagion is relatively small. you know what about this slippery slope here ok moral hazard i mean if there's always going to be a bailout. you know it has to there has to be a contradiction there i mean the money runs out eventually the question is the question is on its own bailout if it is just a bailout then you know eliot structural reforms don't take place so if if it's money that actually results in structural reform than that then that is the exit i just think this is where w

russia will do everything it can to prevent a libyan scenario happening in syria where together with the international community we can urge bush and the serbs to put the reforms into practice as soon as possible and to call on the opposition not to ignore suggestions to discuss these reforms but to start negotiating them. well those comments came as syria's president bashar assad addressed the variation with his third major speech sense of respite care in the country of mid march if assad promised liberal reforms but it declined to go into detail and that was something was picked up by the opposition the president stuck to his stance the foreign influence was behind the uprising and that no change was possible until the violence died down experts say the speech could become a turning point if the president does follow through on his promises. zero verges on stopping syria with more sanctions it could be setting itself up for more than i bargained for says joshua landis he's director of the center of a mideast studies. assad made it very clear there isn't regime change is not on the

a greece what's going to happen to it. well i mean i'm not an economist so my crystal and my crystal ball isn't really much better than anyone else's but but the terms of trade and economic logic is that greece would default which greece has defaulted before i mean basically what i always used to happen is that country is that. investors who lent their money to these other six season interest rates in recognition of the risk of the. greek interest rates are currently sixteen and a half percent they were eighteen percent on friday so the markets are signaling the fall for greeks. this is all about this is a charge to i guess is it but you know we think about the actual paper the losing their jobs at a very difficult to pay their bills we've seen these mass protests in spain and france over the austerity measures also looking in italy what might happen there people are very clearly worried for their future is it possible for anyone to give them any guarantees they'll be ok well they will i think i'd like to put it another an

rights of a decent society so things are not going to well but i believe everything will turn on what happens in syria it's a standing example of how the people who want power are winning over the people who want freedom but the game is not yet over in syria ok more and wanting to how would you go back to that there is it is it is it a simple dichotomy like that go ahead. i honestly so it would i think it would be perfectly legitimate to say that there has been a shift in mood i mean after the fall of mubarak i mean that regime was so central to the old reigning order in the middle east that its fall created this and i think hyper optimism and it would be perfectly legitimate to say that the world has changed significantly after the protracted cluster mess to put it politely and libya and bahrain and syria and yemen. i think people are just simply more grounded in reality now about the kind of cost it's going to take and time and blood to see this transformation through but i still think that the general outlook is still positive for me the story in syria is not so much the fact that there is

so then what happened is. you know this is the part of agriculture said well what happens if we would use the same experiment but to use it with pigs. and. so i went out to the u.s.d.a. here. and this is what they did they took the human growth team dr vern purcell with taxpayer dollars and i know that many taxpayers knew this actually took taxpayer dollars and took human genes growth genes and put them into this pick as you can see there's a problem instead of like a mouse that with human genes it grew so big the genes work differently to human growth chains were different in this cake and it was cross-eyed bow legged impotent musculature had overwhelmed. and i could only photograph against a plywood board here because it's the only only way it could stand up and you can imagine the suffering and how terrible this was for this particular animal and this is another experiment is what would happen they were taking the skin of a cow and see if they could genetically have a pig produce that's going to probably be

only something happens.he hospital loses her records and she's being interviewed by someone trying to figure out what kind of cancer she has. and then something else happens. >> you know, he says do you work about midway through his questions. and i said i do. and he said, are you working full time? and i said, i am. and he said where are you working? i said i'm associate dean at the medical school. now he looks up. at this medical school? i said at the yale school of medicine. he found my files within a half an hour. >> and it points out dramatically the different ways that people are treated within our system of health care. juxtapose later with one of the most powerful characters in the play which is the doctor in new orleans at charity hospital at the time of the hurricane. >> well, certainly part of the crisis is that we all aren't -- unless you have a lot of money, you aren't going to be able to get everything, right, anyway. so let's put -- have that as an overview and certainly people who are vulnera

again, it's sort of -- it happens occasionally, it doesn't happen all the time, and i think that wass the case, but i can check. i don't have any scheduling changes to announce. martha: very awkward press secretary moment there. let's bring in our panelists and talk about this, hr-fpt arz larson, syndicated radio host and rob, nice for you all to be here. this is a tricky one. larz, first of all, the answer should have been we talk about the economy on such -- you know, several times a day given what's going on in the world, right? >> yes, but the problem is the president has taken the hear no evil approach to the economy. i mean, this is the guy who stands there and tells people who can't afford gasoline go out and buy yourselves a new hybrid van. he's about as disconnected from reality as it comes. i'm sure that to the president when he drives by in his economic limo and runs over the fate of americans who are out there looking for jobs and trying to pay the bills it probably does feel like bumps in the road when he runs over millions of unemployed americans and people who can't ma

bad things will happen throughout the economy. it will happen in a very macro context.reasury bonds and all kinds of technical things happening that you don't want to pay attention to, but you will hit it in your pocketbook as a consumer if this happens, no doubt about that. >> okay, you're pretty clear that's not a pretty picture. more broadly, in listening to the president's press conference today, did you hear anything he said that would actually help create jobs? >> so here's the other thing that the president has to deal, with right? the american economy is an intractable beast. you can't go out and say i'm going to spend $4 trillion and hope you're going to turn this thing. we are nibbling around the edges with jobs programs, with stimulus, with the payroll tax credit the president talked about this morning. he's doing what he can. the problem is as with any president there's only so much the president can do. these things have to work themselves out. let's think about what's going on in the economy. joblessness, 9.1%. a huge political problem for the president in
