during my test drive, i stopped by j.d. power and associates, and let the senior manager of global power trains check out the volt. >> i think it's an attractive car. the styling is futuristic without being too far out there. >> reporter: still, mike omotoso is skeptical about the reliability of the lithium-ion battery, and if consumers will buy electric cars. >> whether it's a plug-in hybrid vehicles or fully electric vehicles, we're still not sure whether consumers will embrace them like they have hybrids over the last ten years, or if consumers will think they are too expensive, if the up-front costs is too much to justify the savings on fuel. >> reporter: when we took the volt to an area gas station, it attracted a lot of gawkers. one bmw owner was impressed. >> i like having a performance car and having another car that gets mileage. it's something that i would think about, that's for sure. >> reporter: but a mechanic was a harder sell. for $40,000, is it something you would buy? >> i don't know, it's kind of expensive

i would like to call j.d.luding me up to the podium. >> i think we can all draw some encouragement from the senator's remarks. i think he was very clear that raising the taxes in this economic environment would be a move in the wrong direction. largely, not just because of the expansion of government because of the extra uncertainty. essentially, there is no economic theory that says you raise taxes when the economy is extremely weak. there is nothing even marxist foolishness that tells you to do that. the american people know that. they don't have to have an economic decree to know. to do so would be a large increase of uncertainty in the economy and that would weaken matters. we will discuss these issues a little further with this panel. i am j.d. foster and i am the economic fellow at the heritage foundation. i am going to be moderating and then mostly getting out of the way. i want to introduce our three panelists real quickly so that they can,. first was bill beach who we keep fully occupied at all of our

j.d. polk from nasa, his expertise in treating astronauts in confined spaces led to the miners doing leg squats, taking salt tablets in protein fluids. while on a strict diet so they could fit in the escape capsule. eventually three rescue holes were attempted, known as plans a, b, and c. plan b was the work of brandon fischer's company, officials thought it could take four months to reach the miners. but their unique percussion drill which pounds the rock as it rotates, broke into the shelter in just six weeks. >> it was just unbelievable, the feelings and the emotions of everyone was going through, it was just indescribable. >> closer and closer and closer, an inch at a time. >> reporter: to keep the miners alive, the government brought in a team of doctors, and psychologists who counseled the trapped men. through a tiny four-inch tube they sent down a camping cot, video camera, nicotine patches and messages from loved ones, to keep their spirits high they piped in a national soccer matc

for gays like this air force officer who calls himself j.d. smith, it's still not safe to come out. >> i think what needs to happen is someone like secretary gates or high-level leadership has to say it's okay to come out now. >> reporter: former army lieutenant dan choi, who was discharged for being gay, applied to rejoin the army. >> i talked about being gay. i said i'm gay, and i was kicked out under don't ask, don't tell, and they said it was great to have you and it's wonderful that you're here, and they were absolutely professional. >> reporter: except choi has an arrest record for chaining himself to the white house fence to protest don't ask, don't tell and would need a waiver. enlisting is a process that can take days, weeks, even months to complete the physical and mental exams before recruits actually take the oath as they did at this public swearing in at a rodeo. >> couric: david martin reporting from the pentagon tonight, thank you. now, turning to campaign 2010, for his first two years in the white house, president obama has had

economist j.d. foster doesn't believe we got our money's worth. >> i don't think it as a particularly good thing. as you can tell by the economy, unemployment rate hovering near 10% and growth at 1% or so, it hasn't worked. >> reporter: the white house says the stimulus bill was never intended to fill the employment hole left by the deepest recession in generations. but officials are unable to predict when the private sector will be strong enough to do so. the report aimed to counter the republicans' pledge to america which says, "congress should move immediately to cancel unspent stimulus funds." house republican leader john boehner said last month it's $4 or $500 billion, but the white house says all but $18 billion is under contract or obligated for tax relief or base payments. for republicans to deliver on the promise would lead to a wave of lawsuit and tax hikes. the unpopular bail-out of wall street firms and two of the big three auto makers will likely cost taxpayers a fraction of what the wh
