our honeymoon travel specialists tell us honeymoons remain one of the most recession resistant segmentsake conceptions on other parts of their wedding, less expensive dress or opting for a deejay versus a band. but they are not willing to skimp on their honeymoons. the memories are just too important to them. >> we have some good and some value options, as well. i'll mention. first, looking at the travel trends we're starting with the destination wedding. this is a great idea for those who are trying to save a little money. the jamaica, the ritz-carlton. this combines the wedding and the honeymoon. >> it is. you will get your wedding ceremony, your flowers, the minister, your accommodations, all for $259 a night. and i'll tell you the best part of this, is that you also get a complimentary three-night stay a year later to celebrate your first anniversary. >> perfect. >> fantastic value. it's a wedding, honeymoon and first anniversary. >> take a look at the property there. you can't beat that. that's amazing. our next travel trend is all about giving back. and this is something that i th

honeymoon is over. what honeymoon? he is still on his honeymoon with the media.nd what makes it so desperate -- a desperate situation for obama is that notwithstanding the fact that he still -- the honeymoon assault with the media, the people have found him out. the people have found him out. >> the economy is recovering despite these actions he is taking? tell me what. name one thing the republicans have done to help the economy recovery. >> it's not a matter of republicans, it's a matter of we're not terrified anymore. >> well, that's part of it. that's confidence. >> but democrats control the house and the senate. let's face it. it's not republicans. it's democrats that control the house and the senate. they have the white house. it was their job to get done, and they're not getting it done. >> let's let julian in on this. >> no president has ever done so much so fast and so well. the president's approval ratings are in the mid 50s, that's an extremely popular president. the public approves of what he is doing in foreign policy, as contrasted to what the repub

you still want to go on a honeymoon? >> i guess. >> well why not. >> for a quick recap our viewers had four options to choose for you. one a royal caribbean cruise and a stay at the ritz-carlton and the grand cayman islands. two the ultimate aussie experience. three, cape town, south africa. followed by safari. and four, arabian jewel, oman. >> have you guys been to any of those places? >> no. >> no. >> that's good. that's good. so this will all be new. >> why i. >> so, leigh and nick, our viewers have decided that for your honeymoon, on this tenth anniversary of "today throws a wedding," it is destination number two, australia. >> nice. >> congratulations. >> i think they like it. >> yeah. >> you hear that? >> you'll be enjoying the next seven days, aboard qantas airways, go to the deluxe resort for four nights, have your own pavilion, explore the great barrier reef and beaches. then return to sydney, which is a fantastic city, stay at the observatory hotel for some serious pampering. and enjoy bike riding, bridge climb

i think we are seeing that the honeymoon factor is starting to wear off. he had a long and intense honeymoon. he is starting to look like other presidents. it is still important to note that regarding as a strong leader, he is still 13 points ahead of where george w. bush is and asked whether he inspires confidence, he is still about 17 points ahead of where george w. bush was. it is an enormous agenda in the white house. these numbers could be threatening in the fall when really tough decisions have to be made. if you see steady erosion over the next few weeks lead into the big fall decisions, it could make tay lit a lot tougher to gs initiatives. >> american people love him individually. as a person, 79% approve of the president of the united states. that's capital he needs to use if he wants health care reform and enjergy reform to go throug. >> he offered the american public a deal. you accept more debt. i'll deliver more jobs. the debt is coming on a cataclysmic scale. the jobs are not showing up. there is a little bit of good jobs, a slowdown in the

they're off on their honeymoon to australia today. meanwhile out on the plaza, i'm matt lauer along with erin burnett. erin is here while meredith is on assignment. and mr. roker. >> there's a baby over here, as well. >> oh! look at that. >> coming up in this half hour, you probably noticed the video, you probably watched the video back in 1984 when it first happened. remember that pepsi commercial shoot where michael jackson was the star of the shoot, and because of an accident his hair actually caught fire? some people say that is the incident that led him down the road to an addiction to prescription drugs. well, "us weekly" magazine has uncovered brand-new video of that. it's alarming video. you're looking at some of it right now. we're going to talk to janice min about how they obtained that video and what it may tell us about that pop superstar's troubled life. >> and then if you have teenagers, we all know they text all the time. but they also often are doing something called sexting, which is actually texting sexually explicit

it is the next honeymoon spot.e style via paraglading. they'll have a private pool villa suite to call home for the next five days and dine under the arabian stars of nights. you'll then transfer to the capital of owe man where scuba diving and historical pressures await, as does a visit to the sultan's private palace complete with camel rides and a romantic trip to the desert dunes. >> so what do you think? >> oh, my gosh. i am blown away. >> no matter where you go, it's going to be amazing, as you saw by that. so, misty, you and virtuoso travel did a great job of putting together some great packages for you, leigh and nick. coming up next, a lot we should tell you. it's up to you to decide for them and the choices are once again, a cruise to grand cayman. australia, number three south africa, or honeymoon number four is oman. you can cast your vote at todayshow.com or text the number of your favorite destination to 46833. this time voting ends monday at 2:00 p.m. eastern time so you have a little more time to thi

about the honeymoon.ds, what is your sense, chris, of how he is managing his agenda and does he believe if he and raum emanuel and his kabol can hammer through what they want to hammer through this week or that week or next month or the the other month doesn't matter to them? >> i think they are planning this around the legislative schedule. raumemmanuel spent time in the house. senator obama spent time in the senate before being elected so they get the legislative calendar and get the political reality you want to get as much done when your political capital is as high as possible. members get more jittery, some of these votes, economic stimulus vote and health care vote. a reason these are front-loaded in 2009 rather than 2010. it's easier vote to take now. still not an easy vote. republicans will hammer some of the democrats for votes like cap and trade and votes like the stimulus and votes on health care but easier vote now than in 2010. >> randy, he ran, obviously, on the politics of change. was the

because the answer is he senses that his political capital that the honeymoon is ending, and this may be his last chance, and this is the problem. the longer people analyze this bill, the longer they realize taxes are going to go up, that rationen is a part of what our health care system -- now will -- have in it, most americans are going to be forced into the government system, they're not going to be able to keep these promises are false just like the stimulus promises were false. >> and that's the problem. they've got the president out a little too often making promises that he can't necessarily keep. it's really dangerous for him to say everybody's going to be able to keep their health care. that's not possible. it's like offering free ice cream for everybody. somebody's going to have to pay. sean: 83 million americans according to the heritage foundation are going to be forced into the government system. the cbo predicted 20 plus million people will be forced out of their private insurance. >> this is one of the most captivating things to me. when we were talking about for the lo

. >> i think, you know, tomorrow on our way to our honeymoon it will all start to sink in. oh, no, this isn't real. >> nick was right, you are absolutely beautiful. >> thank you. i'm glad it worked. >> with all the choices the audience made for you, would you do anything different? >> i'm just a believer in fate. it all worked out perfectly the way it was supposed to. so yeah, it's perfect. >> the dress you wanted. >> and the guy she wanted. >> yeah. >> hopefully, right? >> we're going to make a toast to the two of you in just a moment, then after that we're going to reveal where you're off to on your honeymoon. much more with leigh and nick, now husband and wife. but first, this is "today" on nbc. hmmm... well... naaa... yeah! calculating for getaway. ♪ find your way to a perfect destination at busch gardens... where family-fun surrounds you... and world-class rides astound. then go big with tons of rockin' fun... at water country usa, just a hop, skip, and splash away. busch gardens and water country usa... in williamsburg, virginia. set your sights at buschgardens.com. s

what we have found is that in the first few months, there was a honeymoon. americans began with a positive opinion of the president. they strongly approved of how he started. that number slipped during the stimulus debate. it has moved down as republicans became disenchanted. in the last week or two, especially with the jobs report, his numbers have started heading to the south. sean: there was analysis of these independent voters now deserting barack obama. it was said that independents had become effectively operational democrats in 2006 and 2008. he says they're up for grabs. they are trending republican. >> it all comes back to the economy. people want this president to fix the economy. we had lehman brothers collapse and it became the issue of the campaign last fall. people were optimistic. consumer confidence was rising for a few months. it is now headed in the other direction. sean: your thoughts? you first spotted this trend in the resurgent republic, which you found it as a sort of answer to democracy corps. you saw this earlier than others. >> spot

he was on my show and i would go see the scriptwriting, when they put this together for the honeymooners. he was a very -- he was an insomniac. he didn't read fiction, but people and science. i was there with a doctor, and he said, what is impossible. he pointed at the doctor. the doctor said, they will never make blood in a laboratory. blood will not be in a lab. you may get gransu-- transfusions. he said it to me. i said i do a local show from 9:00-12:00. frank sinatra to do my show for three hours. nobody is bigger. he says, when is he dark. he is not working next monday. you got him. i said, how? [laughter] i said i am going back on the air, to promote sinatra. the phones are ringing. management calls. have you lost your mind. jackie said it. management calls. we have an ad in the miami herald. we call the hotel wehre he is per-- where he is performing. are you sure he's coming. jackie says he's coming. i go on five after 9:00. nobody went home. the secretaries stayed home. three minutess to 9:00, frank gets out. he is still living, jim, nice guy. sinatra says, "who is larry king?" i

he could put more pssure on the democts if he wants to. >> why do you think the honeymoon is over forrage? >> i think eleanoris rht. the problems obama is having, he has not been asn theefront ase needs be in aressing the problems with this congress. this congress doesn'tant to do anything overly cautious, they ha majorities in both houses, they have a veto proofajority inhe senate and you hear people like lieberman complaining abo the health care bill opey to the press and other democratsalking abt things that harry reid saying tat you know, the public option is not going to be on e table. it's too cost. just all sorts of thingshat are seeping outand they're lking about this openly in the press. i ink the american peopl would be a lot happier with presidt obama if he dropped the hammer onome ofhese guys, but he himlf has been somewhat cautious so it's just -- i think the arican pele just a't sure where this i going and whether or no anything is goin to get done. they're hearing a lot and seeing a lot, b they're not seeing the results thathey were promised >> bri debose, eleanor clift

but david beckham knows, folks, the honeymoon is now over. >> i said you need to calm down and come and shake my hand. but he jumped over and he was quite angry. i'm not sure he was going to shake my hand. >> wizard's center brandon hayward is running a basketball camp in north carolina. when he asked about the predraft trade, he had the quote worth requoting. >> i think it was a great deal, man. i'm surprised ernie was able to pull off such a great deal. i vent seen a deal that good since the louisiana purchase. i helped us out a lot and we didn't have to give up a lot. >> greatest deal since the louisiana purchase. javale mcgee played yesterday like kareem abdul-jabbar kareem dominating in the summer finale llpuinn dlloweightow boards. the wizards win 89-84. now if he can just dot on a consistent day-to-day, night in, night out basis. >> do that in washington, not just vegas. >> exactly. what happens in vegas, stays in vegas. >> i guess so. >> in today's political pulse, mime allen tells us how health insurance companies are getting in on the health care ad wars. what are they trying

the honeymoon is over. except important my marriage, honeymoon's never last. >> artfully done, if i may say. >> that's right. got to score some points on the home front. this is what you'd expect. people are beginning to say we need to judge president obama by his policies and results. the big issue is the economy. most americans still blame president bush for the economy. but a larger and larger share are starting to place the blame on president obama. there are other concerns. health care weighing in on it. ultimately comes back to the economy. >>> your thoughts? >> i polled for president clinton and the white house for years. we would consider these to be very good numbers. the kind of numbers you see in the high 50s are very good numbers. look, they are not inauguration day numbers but there is a very tough economy out there. the president is trying to move forward health care. there's a lot of increased contentiousness given these issues. to have the support of about six in ten is a pretty impressive n

the honeymoon has run its course and now he faces strong head winds with his inaugural goal. and health reform, will the sticker price and the debt keep him from victory. harassment, they don't have the numbers, but even in the minority, do they have figures on their side. and the republicans dukes are up. hillary is under the radar . is that because the president wants it that way? is she yielding the stage to the president? >> and kelly o'donnell covers congress and the battle for health care for "nbc news." and clarence page works for the "chicago tribune" and cath leek parker works for the "washington post." and david brooks works for the norgets. you know how sometimes you can see a turning point in front of you. this is what happens now. barack obama confronts resistance as congress gets down to the birth pain of his biggest prize, health care. the daunting project that is worrying people. the auto industry and the national debt, by some estimates has reached 30% the size of our economy. plus the federal deficit could top 2trillion dollars this year and then the $1 tril

but i think we are at the inflection point that the honeymoon for obama is running out quick and you see that, wait a minute, they were planning on 8% unemployment to after the stimulus, they were saying we would have 4% g.d.p. growth in 2011 and that ain't going to happen with people saving. this is the time, and the rest of the republican leaders seem to be march interested in brazil. so if she is the one, you go, girl. brenda: eric? >> toby says it all. they banked on a lot of ifs one of them a growth rate of returns that hasn't happened. brenda: the obama administration. >> the obama administration. most of the things they sold us on, higher taxes, cap in trade to pay for it was going to be on this bigger growth return in the economy and it doesn't happen, it doesn't look like it is happening. sarah palin may be the right person at the right time to turn the economy around. brenda: julie, what do you say? >> i think we need to give the stimulus time to work. brenda: we will get into that in the next topic but bottom line, if you are an advisor to the obama administration do you t

the honeymoon may be over but it's still a good marriage. the public loves barack obama. we may disagree with him about particular recipes and answers on policies, but we still have enormous confidence in him and that is the reservoir of goodwill he will depend upon. health care is the toughest fight. in addition to the cbo report over the weekend another critical piece. governors around the nation an i had written a piece a couple of weeks ago states cannot afford the additional medicaid costs built into this plan. so when it comes to health care, the president has got to answer and his aides have got to answer how do we control costs? the cost side of this equation hasn't been addressed and i don't think he will get the senate to bite on this when jobs are going down and people afraid of new taxes and additional trillion dollars of spending, whatever the number may be, won't be something they want to be until they explain how do we control costs. he has to say to rahm and other people crafting this, grab ahold of this thing and explain how we control costs. >> savannah,

is the honeymoon over, and are those polls showing what everyone else is thinking? >> it reminds me of the reagan presidency. where the personal popularity numbers were always far higher than the agenda items. specific agenda or national agenda. and his position on those items. same thing here, you have a popular charismatic person that does well on television. and on the other hand, you have a pretty far left agenda here with the cap and trade. and stimulus and increased taxes and all of that sort of stuff. so it is no surprise to me, that his personal appeal would remain higher than his issues appeal. if you will. the other thing is, is the 800-pound gorilla in the room, the economy. it is all the economy. economy colors perspective in all sorts of ways. and it has a profound impact on the approval ratings for politicians. you can do nothing and if you have a sound economy, boy the people love you. even if you are not making the right decisions and the economy sowers, it hurts you. in this case, it appears part of it related to the stimulus. as you know, that was
