lew, let's go to asia. tapper: have you considered jaigunda? as the ambassador to the united states-- kaden: i was there just last week. tapper: we are a rapidly industrializing country. we have a population approaching a half a billion people; highly educated; 80 million internet users. that's more than anywhere except for the united states and china. and we are about to open our country to internet companies such as yours to come in and offer your services. - great market opportunity? - yes. - woman: but? - tapper: but-- ( all laughing ) as you know, we are not apologetic about preserving social harmony. anyone found to be encouraging civil disharmony is dealt with appropriately. so anyone who comes in to jaigunda has to sign a pledge promising that their business will practice self-regulation and business ethics. that sounds okay to you, right? well, i think we have to know more about what lies behind it, and what your specific rules are, and how they affect our business. tapper: we monitor the internet in jaigunda. there are things we don't

lew held the same position in the clinton administration from 1998 to 2001, and he would replace peter orszag, who is leaving at the end of the month. >> if there was a hall of fame for budget directors, then jack lew surely would have earned a place for his service in that role under president clinton, when he helped balance the federal budget after years of deficits. >> lehrer: if confirmed, lew would inherit a budget deficit which has already exceeded a trillion dollars, with a quarter of the fiscal year still left to come. at the same time, a new "washington post"/abc news poll shows the president's handling of the federal budget deficit is the weakest of any issue surveyed. just 40% approve of mr. obama's handling of the deficit, while 56% disapprove. the poll also found that 54% disapprove of the president's handling of the economy. and when respondents were asked how much confidence they had in the president to make the right decisions for the country's future, 57% said "just some" or "none at all." still, americans showed greater confidence in mr. obama than congressional democ

a's owner lew wolff was okay with it but league commissioner bud selig was not and issued a brief statement saying he was disappointed and surprised saying a vote would be premature, but by tuesday mayor reed had finally talked on the phone with mlb's president and they reached what can best be described as a gentlemen's agreement. >> we're thrilled obviously that the mayor's decision to push forward has prompted a commitment from major league baseball that if we need to go to the ballot in the spring, they'll help pay to bring the measure to the voters. >> reporter: a special election held in the spring would cost about a million dollars it, although it's not clear how much the league would actually pay. in exchange the would not -- the city would not put the matter on the ballot this fall. mayor chuck reed is apparently meeting with mlb's president at least once more. rks when it comes to food? we've got some of the best, and some of the worst. >>> speaking of baseball, just how clean are bay area ballparks when it comes to food? we've got some of the best and some of the worst. >>> i fel

lew kaden is your number two. ben heineman is your chief counsel. already one u.s. auto manufacturer has developed an environmentally-friendly car called the i-care car. the maximile is a huge part of that i-care car. the i-care car was introduced two years ago. they've already sold 950,000 of them. it's just a great time for you. - until-- - ( laughing ) mr. heineman, one day you get a letter - from a trial attorney. - been there. you knew it was a trial attorney, didn't you? an i-care car with a maximile was doing 85 miles per hour on the highway and it stalled. it was rear ended; the driver was killed. the family is threatening to sue i-care car and maximile. is there anything you're going to do? i'm going to go talk to-- i mean, most companies will have product quality people, who are gonna be able to reverse engineer, go back, look at it. - tapper: okay. - think about it, test it. we have to know whether it's one-in-a-million, whether it's 100-in-a-million. you poke around, and find out there have been five incidents-- still only one fatality. then that's an en

jacob lew will move over from the state department to fill the place of outgoing director peter orszag who steps down this month. if confirmed, mr. lew will assume the cabinet level post with the administration facing a deficit that exceeds $3 trillion for the first third quarters of the fiscal year. we'll have more live coverage of the oil spill commission when the house takes a break. you can watch all the proceedings on our website at c-span.org. yesterday, a number of people gathered outside the hotel where this oil spill meeting is being held. they were protesting the response. >> why are you out here protesting today? >> because this is an enormous environmental disaster and economic disaster and b.p. and the government have been consistently consealing the truth of censoring the truth, have been reducing full accountability and full transparency. they have not mobilized all necessary resources to stop this catastrophe. they have not protected the public health. they have not protected the environment. so we need a massive people's response to fight, you know, all hands on deck,
