"buzz" aldrin jr., michael collins and john herschel glenn jr. in recognition of their significant contributions to society. mr. speaker, on may 25, 1961, president kennedy spoke to a joint session of congress. he said that it was time for a great new american enterprise, time for this nation to take a clearly leading role in space achievement. he committed this nation to achieving the ambitious goal of landing a man on the moon and returning him to earth safely. president kennedy added, i believe we possess all the resources and talents necessary to accomplish the mission. and that we did. as exhibited by the gentlemen to be honored in the rotunda this november. bravely pursuing the unknown, these four individuals helped this nation achieve scientific and technological advancements which inspired the world. mr. speaker, neil armstrong was the spacecraft commander for apollo 11, the first manned lunar landing mission in history. he was the first person to land a craft on the moon and the first to step foot on its surface. his i mortal words are f

. >> john boehner sounding like glenn greenwald. the reason i want to highlight it, it's a fascinating level. at one level everybody is constantly saying obama needs to be tougher and unilateral and stop negotiating with congress, and then on the other side it's another step in the decay of our political institution, which is article 1 congress, and it's viewed as dysfunctional by the president and public with 9% approval ratings, and what do you think, as somebody who is written about the rule of law, what is your impression of these sorts of moves, and the president is not obviously okaying torture, though. >> right. these are not highly controversial positions. he is not bypassing congressional prohibitions with the way bush and cheney did, and so to me they are not that both bothersome. and there are's a problem with continuing looking to the president as a centralized figure who is supposed to be taking all kinds of steps and if congress is not acting to cheer on a president because he liked the result does have serious implica

leader, i do think that people like rush limbaugh, glenn beck, fox news--i think they have more power to drive a story and to get conservatives fired up than john boehner or mitch mcconnell. so i do think that that's happening. and increasingly--and this is a little bit new--you see that on the left as well, and that wasn't true a couple of years ago, because now you have the huffington post, which is a hugely trafficked and very popular web site, especially for liberals. you have msnbc, which in prime time has made the decision, the calculated decision, to really cater to liberals. so they have the same power that the right has had for some time through talk radio on the left, and i think both of those forces really can push and press a story. >> sir? >> what can the media do to hold elected officials and media personalities accountable for lying about facts? >> well, we can continue to try to ask them the questions and look at what they say, and of course, investigative reporters can look at what they do and their people do and bring you that information. and then you get to do with it what you will. we talked about correcting the record a mo

john heilemann is "new york" magazine's national political columnist. gentleman, let's take a look at this full screen from "the boston globe's" glenn johnson. he wrote this about the concerns about romney. "in recent weeks, mitt romney has given fresh life to the longtime political complaint that he lacks a core. the criticism has been leveled anew both by rival democrats and republicans, who may be hyperbolic as they work to dethrone him as a gop presidential front-runner. the consistency of the complaint, though, underscores a major challenge the former massachusetts governor faces, if he hopes to win his party's nomination and unseat president obama just over a year from now. can voters still getting to know him grow to trust what he says?" i go to you, mark, on that question. it doesn't seem to be the most important issue outside of ohio as it is inside ohio, this flip-flopping on this anti-union legislation, but it does mark more trouble. >> if this election is about whether mitt romney put his dog on the roof of his car in a family vacation, if it's about his change of positions from candidate in massachusetts to a national candidate,

john. >> good morning, carol. >> let's start with governor rick perry. he attacked mitt romney. let's listen to a bit of that. >> your chief economic adviser, glennu know well, he said that romneycare was obamacare. so my question for you would be, how would you respond to his criticism of your signature legislative achievement? >> we have less than 1% of our kids, they're uninsured. you have 1 million kids uninsured in texas, 1 million to come. >> oh, it has been a fundamental thorn in his side for his entire campaign. it's clearly his achilles' heel. and last night you could tell mitt romney was back in the poll position because all the other ndidates on stage were busy taking shots at him. it's his biggest weakness and one of the real questions republicans have to confront, can they have a presumptive nominee who have a same kind of health care plan that unified them when it was one of the issues of president obama. >> in watching the debate, i didn't think of it as high drama. it was kind of dry in a way. all of them were attacking one another. they really weren't talking about their economic plans. and that was supposed to be the big topic o

comic relief here, what do you think of glenn beck's planned august 24th restoring courage rally in jerusalem, beck himself and folks, good tourist folks like john hage and his crew of -- >> thank you for that. i do talk about that in the book. i think the alliance being struck by the right of center in the jewish community with the far right of the evangelical christian community is just, it's a -- [speaking in native tongue] [laughter] it's not good for the jews. we do not share a common set of values and interests. and in the long run, many of these who have sort of the end of times theology, this ain't good for the jews in the long run. and so i don't think that this is an alliance that's healthy. i think glenn beck is an opportunist who is using this as a way to find a market to sell his books and his tv shows and his radio, his new network too, and he's cynically playing with matches sitting on top of a timider box. he was warned by israeli military officials to move his rally because he could start world war iii. so it may be a laughing matter, but this israeli military officials, and glenn beck is moving his rally. that's how serious --
