and i remember the infamous john kerry photo.nd the problem that mitt romney really has is that it really does play into the narrative that he is out of touch. and also the hypocrisy for him to come out and attack president obama's vacation while he's on this ritzy vacation. this is a problem he's had time and time again. his own hypocrisy. and just that feeling that he's completely out of touch and doesn't really understand how these kinds of programs effect americans when we talk about the economy. what it's like to get on a bus for your vacation, not strap your dog to the top of the car and all that or go jet skiing. it's just -- you know, that's the problem. it plays into the narrative that already feels -- i think this is what republicans were complaining about. that already people believe he's out of touch. so why continue to reinforce that narrative? >> now, i was -- i ran in the 2004 race and then worked with bob when he supported john kerry, so i remember this p hypocrisy goes back further. look at this in 2004 what he w

john kerry, you know what he did?leased way more than two years' of tax returns, because he was running in the senate numerous years. in fact, by the time he was running for president in 2004, john kerry had released 20 years' of tax returns. mitt romney tried to correct the campaign's mistake when he was on "fox & friends" this morning. >> john kerry ran for president, you know, his wife, who has hundreds of millions of dollars, she never released her tax returns. somehow this wasn't an issue. >> maybe it wasn't an issue because teresa heinz kerry, she wasn't run for president of the united states. romney and his campaign, you know what they are? they are really boxed in on this issue and they don't have an answer. conservative columnist george will identified romney's main issue. >> the cost of not releasing the returns are clear. therefore, he must have calculated that there are higher costs in releasing -- >> and he's going to tough it out. >> the consequences for releasing the tax returns must be pretty bad for m

>> this is out of character for kerry.e worried about this as anyone would be. >> reporter: patrick kennedy made headlines himself when he was involved in an accident in washington, d.c. in 2006. arrested for dwi. in his case, it was ambien. he says the family is unclear with what happened with kerry kennedy. if it is ambien, you know personally what can happen when you combine that with driving. >> it was a wake-up call for me in many respects. these are medications that are very powerful. it's something we all need to be aware of. >> reporter: and patrick kennedy said, unlike his own struggle of depression and mental illness, his cousin, kerry, has no history with prescription drugs. >> kerry is a resilient person. i know she will be moving forward. >> reporter: patrick kennedy an advocate for americans suffering with mental illness. but he does not believe his cousin is battling what he did. this must be a reaction to a prescription drug or a procedure. >>> let's get more from dan abrams. let's talk about ambien. >> the

return to kerry briefly. have you managed to speak with her at all? >> i was with kerry last week. we celebrated my cousin, matt's, wedding, himself a week just prior to mine. we were all down as a family on the cape. she is an amazing woman. i -- i don't personally see her as suffering from the same irish flu so to speak that i suffer from. i think this was an out of character-type incident. and i understand she's done all the necessary disclosures. and gotten the necessary tests and the like. and that it's probably a prescription medication or it's a seizure disorder of some sort. and so i know as a society we sensationalize these issues because it does involve a motor vehicle accident. and when it does, these things obviously become very sensationalized. i think, hopefully, at the end of the day, just as in my colleague's jesse jackson circumstance, we don't end up continuing to perpetuate the stigma around anything that is kind of behavioral because we misunderstand that the brain is part of the broad and that these behaviors that often lead to sleepy driving or dwis or any oth

kerry. >> john kerry ran for president. his wife who has hundreds of millions of dollars, she never released her tax returns. somehow this wasn't an issue. >> now, i might add the kerry campaign -- not the campaign but his office, he's not running anymore. came back with this. the romney campaign needs to stop getting their facts wrong. mitt romney ought to speak for himself rather than making inaccurate comments about teresa. it's interesting to me, erin. first he was saying kerry only put out two years and it ended up being five. he's trying to do everything he can to deflect from answering. why he doesn't do what moes people have done. >> well, remember also, teresa heinz kerry didn't run for president. john kerry did. and mitt romney is running for president. the bigger problem is, look. this is indicative how mitt romney could govern as president. will he keep secrets from the american people if he's in negotiations with other countries et cetera? that's the question. that's why this is a big problem. americans want tr

kerry's goose is cooked. >> when you give chaney the punchline, you know you're in trouble. when we come back, barack obama owns this economy. this team has said so he owns the economy. plus "scoops and predi" of these top reporters. be right back. chris: welcome back. 80 years ago the dow jones hit its lowest level after the crash. her better hoover was swept out of office, f.d.r. swept in. hoover was held responsible, well voters decide to hold barack obama responsible in a hoover way? obama's big cam feign brain has conceded the president owns this economy. >> so the person who is least satisfied with where the economy is president obama. >> he owns it, would you agree with that, he owns this economy? >> of course, he does. >> matt lauer nailed him into that coffin. my question, does david wish he had that to take back, the president owns this economy? >> it doesn't matter what he says. it matters what the american think. clearly the american people are looking forward and they're not looking backwards. there is some justification for the fact that a previous president go

here's diana perez. >> reporter: a critical clue in the kerry kennedy crash investigation. kennedy told police she told ambien before she got behind the wheel, sideswiped a tractor trailer and fell asleep. >> there's a lot of reports of people sleep-driving, sleep-walking, even people having sex while they're on ambien. >> reporter: the bizarre side effects of the sleeping aid have grabbed headlines before. judy evans said she had no idea she was getting up in the middle of the night until her son stayed with her, following back surgery. >> came home from the hospital, my son came to stay with me and found me up in the middle of the night, frying eggs and bacon. >> reporter: kerry papps woke up to find she had gotten out of bed, dressed and taken a drive, all while in a sleep-like state. >> i was at work, fully dressed, sitting at my computer, but i don't remember driving, i don't remember getting up. i don't remember getting dressed. >> reporter: now, doctors say these are only some of the side effects of sleeping aids like ambien, depression being another big one. if ambi

bush received when he ran against john kerry in 2004. now, the president's support and his approval ratings remain high among african-americans, but democrats are worried about turnout. and romney's hoping his economic message will resonate, at least to the point that voters aren't motivated to turn out against him. jan crawford, cbs news, houston. >>> today the cbs news, charlie rose will sit down with an exclusive interview with president and mrs. obama which you'll see beginning friday and on cbs sunday morning. >>> congressman's jesse jackson's unexplained absence has raised. he's being treated for emotional problems. jackson is expected to make a full recovery. tara mergener has the report. >> representative jesse jackson, jr., has been out on a leave absence for more than a month now with little explanation as to why. more than two weeks afa bankruptly leaving his office issued a cryptic statement saying mr. jackson was suffering from exhaustion. a week later they issued another release saying jackson's condition was more serious t

of the book you see there the whistleblower and the american taliban i first asked her about john kerry aka and if this is an attempt by the government to retaliate against him for embarrassing the agency. yes i think the defense is right because he was the first cia agent to reveal that that torture was occurring and the cia was conducting it and that it was an actual program not mere and proposition and that waterboarding is torture so i think that's what's really behind this and he didn't we lose all three motions basically on the bill of particulars to get more information about the indictment they told him it was without prejudice and he could come back if he didn't get enough information and discovery and the motion for a selective and didn't victim prosecution was denied but i think it serves a purpose of the judge said she found it provocative and informative and the motion to dismiss about the unconstitutionality of the statute she didn't rule on yet in fact she said she kind of telegraphed that she would be denying it but said she wanted to write an opinion which is really sig

i think it was worse for kerry than the jet-ski is for romney.e impression that may be forming. this isç the moment at which mt romney is being defined and i think this helps that definition for the romney campaign is not a good way. >> i think a jet-ski is much more every man. kenny powers has a jet-ski. hopefully, you don't know who he is. the former labor secretary robert reich had an interesting column. we've entered a guilded age in which mitt romney is a perfect e reflecti reflection. four years ago, we paid $12 million for his fourth home in la jolla, california, a pool, a jacuzzi and unobstructed views from the pacific. he has filed plans to tear it down and replace it with a home five times bigger. romney's a opposite. he wants to do everything he can to make the super wealthy even wealthier, the poor even poorer and justifies it all with a thinthi thinly veiled social darwinis measurin. >> i think he can get himself into trouble with not just the house, but saying things for example, going to nevada and saying that you know, they shoul
