i have great respect for tim kaine. he's a wonderful guy. i respect his opinion.ision rests with congressman weiner. i'm sure he's -- he's doing a lot of soul searching. >> i want to focus on the biggest challenge for the president. he was out today talking about jobs again, talking about some of his plans, his proposals to invest more money in schools like that, to invest more money in infrastructure, to invest more money in research and development. however, with the certainty of a republican house that doesn't agree with the president on those proposals and others, will he have to go into the election campaign essentially without any new specific proposals on job creation because he can't get them through the congress? >> well, look, i'm not going to presuppose that the republicans in congress won't see all that and feel the same sense of urgency that so many of americans do to continue to be working toward recovery. what the president was talking -- >> they just have different ideas? the president's wrong, they would say? >> well, that's what the election's ab

kaine calls his arm luke a nod to this scene from the star wars series. of course the real thing doesn't measure up to the silver screen science fiction. >> i don't know anybody today that would say, yeah, i'd rather have your arm than the original equipment. we're not there yet. almost every physical capability you have in your body, there's some ak yator that can do it better. i think those systems will eventually become part of people in prosthetic devices that they either wear or have embedded. that will just be the natural progression of technology. >> reporter: kaine's arm is also funded by the pentagon. the goal? to improve the lives of wounded warriors, people like glen lehman who lost his right arm in a grenade attack in iraq in 2008. you didn't know much about the state of the art of prosthetics beforehand, right? >> i had no idea. i'm the first arm amp uwe tee i've ever met. >> reporter: he's an expert now and one of only 50 amp uwe tees in the world who can do this simply by thinking about it. what did you do? >> i thought about lifting my arm

tim kaine saying he definitely should resign?e biggest name so far to come out and call for the resignation, but you can be sure that the democratic leader in the house, like nancy plosist, they're not running to his defense, in calling for an ethics investigation. on the republican side, a very big name, eric cantor calling for anthony weiner to resign, then the telling comment from the top democrat in the senate, harry reid when asked what advice he would give to anthony weiner if asked -- he said i would tell him to call someone else. so we'll be looking today, already making calls to see how this list of -- how this list grows, if there would be growing calls for him to resign, but you can see this already, kyra. while he is facing a potential ethics investigation, it seems his political troubles are worse. >> also now some democrats apparently trying to get rid of campaign contributions that they actually got from wiener? >> a shot of the political fallout widening. at least two democrats in competitive reelection campaigns
