nato has been linked with a possible the united move recently is also with the score then coach john peter desperately need play down the speculation. the reason it's not a problem he's playing for us joining with us and who plan certainly there is only had to see about him. and the united states men's for gold he will have a decidedly german flavor now that he can close a man who has taken over as manager and thought seventy year old stating on the day was unveiled that the us will look to discover a global star of their own following in the footsteps of america's more popular sports. nobody showed kobe bryant to do certain moves you know he did it themselves and soccer is the same way it's ok self teaching you learn it you get better then the more you play if you play twenty hours a week you will get a really good play two hours a week you will be always limited so if you want to one day have a messy representing the united states you need to find a kid that takes the war on thirty hours a week. moving away from for blends into and is denied a sovereign i won't be playing any competitive

joining me is peter orszag manager of budget, john heilemann the "new york" magazine and mark halperin and al hunt. mark halperin, tell us what happened today. >> the good news charlie is the house has passed this agreement which avoids the cataclysm of faults, i suppose lessons for credit down grade. that's really good news. the bad nooses -- news in the short term is this deal does absolutely nothing to address a pathetically anemic economy. the bad news in the long run is it really is delusional as far as dealing with long-term chronic deficit. so it's a good deal in avoing a default. it's pretty hard to argue and i find very many democrats or republicans who would argue it does anything significant. >> charlie: it will pass tomorrow and the president will sign tomorrow. >> it will and he will there's no question of to the. unlike the same sun's committee, unlike the gang of six, unlike all the plans conceived by peter orszag, this does nothing about taxes and does nothing about entitlement. and that's a problem. >> charlie: this is just the beginning or is this somehow give us a pe

>> well, peter, john and i could probably tell you tons of stories about very strange cases where someents you have that are very lenient and other ones the judges don't seem to like them and throw the book at them. here, casey anthony was sentenced to 112 days for the check fraud. so, that was not consecutive with the sentencing she got for after the murder trial, those misdemeanors that she had. so, it's very strange the way that it happened. probably what should have happened, that one-year probation period was served while she was in prison on trial. so, now the question is, is whether she served that one year of probation while in prison, which is very strange. i don't know why a probation department would put somebody on probation while they're in prison. >> simply to you, john, is she being treated the same way others would be treated in this, given the controversy that surrounds her or is this different because it's casey anthony? >> it's different because it's casey anthony. as i said, the burden, the expense, the aggravation that goes with it, and i think judge perry will say

at the end of the day, peter, john's right this one time.ident has an extremely hoil base. they're going nowhere. >> the base isn't going anywhere, but clearly the decision that is made is by the independents in the middle of this country in three to five states that will decide what happens here. so obama will need more than just the base to support him, but record numbers of democrats to come out and those independents to give him -- >> where are they going to go? >> the democrats aren't going to go, but -- >> his base wasn't the traditional democratic base. the whole obama story, and you talked about this on election day morning, was all the first time voters that he animated and excited. he changed the behavior of millions of voters. they were first time voters. those are not reliable voters. those are people who have probably moved section times since the last election. they were college kids. they're not people who even know where to go to vote. will they go through the hassle to vote for him again. i think that's a certain. >> it's wo
