friends and how we're the closest allies or countries and at one stage a former prime minister john howard actually called himself the deputy sheriff to president george w. bush which our largest because we would actually prefer to have an independent foreign policy than to be the deputy of another country so i think one of the reasons is because that's america knows that it can rely on astrologers politicians who are quite sycophantic towards the united states at the moment i'm wondering what your reaction was i mean our president has just spent the last few days in your country we just played a clip about the commitments that no funding that is cut will impact the u.s. presence in the asia pacific reason region one what was your you in the other activists i'm not sure if you're still in touch with them but what was your response to hearing what president obama said and to see that that relationship is still extremely strong. we were quite shocked by the announcement that was made this week that there will be a new american military base established under the star use north with two thous

howard fineman. also washington course dents for the nation, john in this case koel nicholls. have breaking news at this hour from "the new york times." they have broken a story indicates that the -- to quote the times, the national restaurant association gave $35,000 a year, a year's salary in severance pay to a female staff member in the late 1990s after an incounter with2herman cain. the chief of staff of that lobbying organization. howard, herman cain said he assumed that the settlement was something like a month or so's pay. it turns out it's a year's pay. this is the kind of thing that you can expect to come out in an unfolding controversy like this. more and more facts will be coming out. what does this add to the story? >> what this adds to the story is first of all, it flushes out detail about one of the accusers, and there's a -- the question remains how many we're talking about here. politte cal said to herman cain has been confused and conflicting about his memory. my understanding from listening to what the attorney for one of the complainants said tonight is tha

clark county versus the county where perino is and dean howard was to support john ensign. this will be another race that is a two-point race both sides don't have margin for error or growth either and then of course in massachusetts i think a lot of republicans will tell you that they were not surprised by elizabeth warren's first performance she raised more than $3 million in about six weeks and everybody thought that she would be an interesting candidate. now i think republicans realize that scott brown may be in serious trouble. brown still has an appeal to the independent and crossover voters more so than almost any republican on the ballot this year. but it's going to be stuck in the beat cutoff and president obama is probably going to win with 55 knott 60% of the vote. the larger picture the was that there is a pervasive pessimism among the voters. charlie mentioned in 2006, 2008, 2010 we've had three elections in a row. voters are accustomed to voting against. the problem with cindy love of democrats and republicans have had is the assumed positive election results

man, jim howard and bob rowe, john paul, jean from kentucky, i mean, we all, yes! but that spirit isn't there now. why is it that the gas tax was a user fee all the sudden now is in disfavor? we can call it vehicle mile tax. we can put all kinds of lipstick on some names, but what is it we need to be able to get movement, some traction? we're going through all these extensions, and i've got another extension. i just wonder, what is it in terms of that user tax that was pretty sacrosanct at one point and now is just -- you can't use the phrase gasoline tax. >> and again, congress incrementally increase the fuel tax, but it was a good proxy, it was a good proxy at that time given where we were in that day? there was a good proxy, and we're seeing that widen further, further, further. but i think we need to define a clear national interest and funding transportation, because it's become nothing but a one works program. it's every man or woman for themselves in terms of the bill. so if we had a clearly defined national purpose that the citizens of this country could ge
