but the president at the harvard crimson newspaper said it wasn't hard for bo to blend in. >> harvard, families are well-known, whose parents are connected in government, connected in business. so even as someone famous as many of our professors are, the child of someone famous, it's very easy to blend in as any other harvard student and i don't think it was any different in this case, i imagine. >> he didn't always do a good job of blending in. when cambridge police stopped him twice for running stop signs once driving 58 in a 30 mile zone. come on. i've got forgive him for that. he was behind the wheel of, well, this is the bigger problem. an $80,000 black porsche. sort of, you know, not possible to afford theoretically on a chinese government official salary. >>> a congressional leader calls president obama the most corrupt president ever. >>> and john edwards trial continues. one of his former aides testifies. edwards made him fear for his life. in over 100 years. but thanks to them... and her... and especially this guy, all those years were just a prologue to this. ♪ it's amazing
