and facebook larry talks about the quality of question great about the second amendment, assault weapons and the right to bear arms. the next from sam calling me it is lost in space, mitt romney. and if you remember lost in space that was a vintage television show. and from this person. can you say that a little bit louder? repeating the statement that he did call the attacked an act of terrorism. and this is from twitter. i cannot tell you how relieved i am to hear that ms. randa will not tax on those investments they are to -- that mitt romney will not tax them on those investments that they're too poor to even investment. and also, a big point from hillary clinton. >>pam: the other things in a san francisco today hundreds of people gathered to pay tribute to u.s. ambassador, christopher stephens. stevens is a bay. native. killed and eight attac in an at- although it was a somber of bend. friends and dignitaries paid respects to the ambassador. it was a summer-event. also some light moments. we somber- event. >> dignitaries, family, friends, at the san francisco city hall rotunda paying their respects. >> w

. >> and larry, i asked the folks on the romney campaign what they made of chris christie's political bear hug here of president barack obama this week. they said this is just a governor doing what a governor should do, and in a disaster, nobody is thinking about politics. but of course, you can't separate politics entirely from all of this. remember that chris christie could be facing a tough re-election battle in 2013, and in a democratic leaning state, a little bipartisan patina might do chris christie some good in 2013. lar larry, back to you. >> i totally agree with what you just said. >>> before sandy, romney was on a roll topping president obama in poll after poll. but in the wake of the devastating superstorm, did sandy stall romney's momentum? here now are keith boykins and robert costa, jonathan colegio. mr. costa, i go to you on the conservative side. i think that barack obama did himself a lot of good. >> barack obama has had a decent week because he's been presidential in handling of this crisis in new jersey and new york. but ha we still see from the romney campaign is he's c

bear morgan? >> it is going to go well beyond what is happening right now. obama doesn't care. i think he is coming out looking very bad, larry. >> i want to get a quick take before we bring the members in here. to me, this guy is a cheap shot artist. he may be representing obama you wants a cheap shot to go after the banks and where are the kudos for jp morgan that did this and put this together at a time when everything was unravel elling. >> the federal government was under pressure for the euro europeons. andrew cuomo preceded snyder man and declined to use the act. this is the same evidence that he looked over and said i'm not going ahead with this and there are cases and -- let me get this straight. he decided the evidence wasn't there. snyder man looked at it and he is playing cheap politics. >> that is your opinion. >> he has become a good governor of new york and said no go. and this guy says no go and we are on the eve of an election and jp morgan did the lord's work. somebody had to stock the hemorrhaging. >> there is fraud here. no question about it. who is responsible? i don't know. >> why sue them? >> that is wh

know that larry does a lot with that and knows some of the challenges of getting the technology to these homes. it can be very challenging from desert areas to mountain areas. there was a bear eating through these lines. these things can affect the quality of the service. something else to think about. >> one challenge is the business model challenge. some technologies work better in urban areas and vice versa. in rural areas, we have seen some interesting advancements with open source business models where rural residents cooperate to build up their own networks. how do we support this level of experimentation? is it a matter of providing money for telephone companies to use more wires? building and maintaining their networks is a different kind of question. 's when the 1930 networks were put together, they're running wires -- now it requires fiber optic cables to get those kinds of services out. when you put those facilities in, it will run anywhere from $10,000 a mile to $30,000 or more just to construct the fiber cable. it is expensive for the user to experiment and to provide $3,000 per mile. sometimes you get into places where there are lots of flows or there is prote
