us in the face. but it is, it's isolating. you can't be subjected to political posture ing or aides that want to put you in a political situationvid said earlier on your show tonight concerns me, too, about this. he is surrounded by more, with political people more than economic people. there is nobody really inside the white house that is on an economic team now. that has to be spooky to the investor class as well. >> and david, what is it like to walk into the oval office at a moment like this? maybe you have to tell the president horribly bad news or maybe as both you and mary are saying, you need to shake the president a little. i don't mean physically but say, the way you're doing it isn't working. we have to reconsider. >> it's important for the president to maintain an outer confidence and a smile. and that helps a lot. ronald reagan and other presidents have shown that over the years. and i think the president has done a good job of that. but it is really important inside to be taking a hard look at what is not working and what is working. and my judgment, by the way, the republicans bear an awful lot of blame for where

ings popularity is booming russia because that's about out of takes up the story. trampoline was invented by george negus and laurie greasewood in one thousand nine hundred thirty six in the us though it was a long time before the first world championship was held in one thousand nine hundred sixty three the soviet union dominated the sport well only a handful of other countries were considered to be contenders however everything changed since it finally became an olympic discipline at the sydney games in two thousand. and one of the former us president said that the power of a country is measured in its number of nuclear warheads and the number of its own pick champions trampoline wasn't popular when it didn't have an olympic status and the soviet union was competing against few opponents however when it was included in that in big games the number of competitors increased dramatically and china's concurring them all. this southern russian city of course now there is the capital of trampoline ing in the country with long held traditions of producing world in olympic champions including the first ever women's olympic champion and the most decorated athlete in the sport i mea

us, a six-box, along with ali velchi and eric erikkson. a lot of talk about winners and losers. you say the president maybe wins by losing? how so? >> remember, anderson, at the we ingedent was trying to negotiate a $4 trillion deal and he gets a little less than half of that. he said he wanted to do it in a one-fell swoop. this is two-tiered so this will be back in six months. he said it needed to be balanced. he didn't get it in the first swoop and unlikely to get it in the second swoop. why does he win? as a candidate for re-election, bad gdp numbers on friday and an anemic report on this friday. the last thing the president needed was to be the first president in history to have default happen on his watch and the last thing he needed beyond that was more uncertainty, more turmoil, a collapse of the markets, a president running for re-election in a tough economy, he has enough to worry about. he doesn't need a default. >> jessica, does the white house see this as a win? >> they see this as the better outcome of many possible outcomes. anderson. a few days ago plenty of democrats thought at this point we could be at a 50/50% chance of default. so this is a happy o

ing crease. that was planned a year earlier, used in a way that it never has been before, forcing, it was hoped, set of changes, but in the end produced a paltry payoff that left most observers sickened by the risks that were taken on and very much unimpressed by the results that came from it. you put that together with sluggish growth and high unemployment, projected increase in the debt to g.d.p. ratio and the fact that no action on any of these matters is likely to occur before the 2012 election, and it's not clear how things will get themselves resolved afterward. the s&p downgrade was part of this, although i think the global rush to treasuries remind all of us that s&p is likely to suffer a greater downgrade than the u.s. i think underlying these specific things are sort of two widespread views about the craziness afoot in america. the first has to do with the contemporary republican party. it's ideological extremism, and a sort of sense to deny reality, whether it's the efficacy of the financial stabilization and stimulus, the utility of the tax pledge, the non-existence of climate change
