as has congresswoman maloney. notwithstanding their eventually action, we are making it clear here today that we will plug any perceived loopholes or any questions about whether or not you can or you cannot. the r.n.c. sent out mailings which certainly violated the spirit of h.r. 4621. the mailings contained text, visible from outside the envelope, not printed on the envelope but effectively the same as printed on the envelope. i would say to people who raise money, whether it's the republican national committee, the democratic national committee, other political entities, or nonpolitical entities who simply want to have their envelopes 7ped -- opened for an opportunity to raise money or get the message out, don't use the census. don't even think about using the census because it's wrong. if something is deceptive, then it is wrong under the law that we already passed. it is wrong under the law that we expect this bill to represent. so, mr. speaker, i would like to thank the chairman and congresswoman maloney and

carolyn maloney, thank you very much for your time tonight, ma'am. >> thank you for putting a spotlight. thank you. >>> still ahead, the paranoid whack-a-dos at the john bir much society are make stuff up about me, first of all, thank you, second of all, i think 10% is fair. cash is always nice. right? and president george w. bush has a november surprise for america, a preview coming up. i hope there are illustrations. please stay with us. nothing works stronger, faster, or longer to relieve all my symptoms... ...including congestion without drowsiness. get claritin-d at the pharmacy counter. live claritin clear. it was in my sister's neighborhood. i told you it was perfect for you guys. literally across the street from her sister. [ banker ] but someone else bought it before they could get their offer together. we really missed a great opportunity -- dodged a bullet there. [ banker ] so we talked to them about the wells fargo priority buyer preapproval. it lets people know that you are a serious buyer because you've been credit-approved. we got everything in order so that we can move o

. >> let's bring in jason maloney, crisis management expert. what does nike get out of that?ual that in ancient time, the poets used to wait until after the battle until they wrote the sagas and poems about what happened. today, nike can bring it to us days in advance. >> donny deutsch, who frequently appears here on msnbc, says that ad is brilliant. is there an impact on tiger, good or bad, do you think? >> i think you have to look at them separately. it's a very smooth ad, very slick. however, i think it's in stark contrast to what we saw from tiger himself. i think it's good for nike. i don't know that it's necessarily good for tiger. on tuesday, he had a wonderful session. probably the first time he's scored points in this issue to date, where he connected, told about being a father, talked about how difficult recent weeks and months have been in therapy for them and yet today, we see sort of the start of the team tiger engine cranking up. >> and there's already a new mock online. let me play that. >> hey, it's tiger. i need you to do me a huge favor. can you please take

sister peg maloney has been director of university ministry at the jesuit school since 2005. >> i wasking in a diocese in colorado springs, the bishop's office, when it was first sort of exploding in the united states. when boston and baltimore and new york and all of those archdiocese were being investigated. it's horribly shocking. it's appalling in so many ways and at so many different levels. >> reporter: she believes when the allegations first surfaced, church leaders were led astray by psychiatrists who said abusers could be cured. >> so in one sense, i believe that there were some bishops who were acting on the best advice they could get at that time. but later on, i think when it became apparent that they were moving them around in order to avoid scandal or avoid repeated behavior, they were operating partly on their own ignorance and partly in defense of the church trying not to create a scandal. and in some cases to protect the identity of victims as well. >> reporter: a new chapter in the story recently unfolded in denver. a popular priest at a large sub urban catholic chur

maloney: mr. speaker, as a proud member of the congressional caucus on armenian issues and the representative of a large and vibrant community of armenian americans, i rise to welcome his imminence, archbishop in his offering of the opening prayer and join my colleagues this week in the sad commemoration of the armenian genocide. on this 95th anniversary of the genocide, i join with the chorus of voices that grows louder with each passing year. we will not allow the planned elimination of an entire people to remain in the shadows of history. the armenian genocide must be acknowledged, studied and never ever allowed to happen again. the archbishop is the head of the armenian church in the united states, which is located in my district. as a spiritual shepherd of several hundred thousand armenian americans in the eastern united states, he plays a significant role in the life of the armenian commount. it is a great honor to welcome him today. thank you. the speaker pro tempore: the chair will enterta

maloney to take the chair.'m not sure what i'm supposed to gather from the testimony of all five witnesses other than cds is not the only problem but some of the problem. we haven't done a post-mortem what constitutes the problems in how it can be solved? is that reasonable? the reason, i asked you that, over the last three or four weeks when the greece problem was brought to our attention, it started a need for $45 billion underwriting or infusion from the euro union. and now it's up to $120 billion and climbing. and somebody today stated that there's no way that they can work a rescue here without a restructuring. i sort of like that opinion if any of you have, is that a correct or a likely conclusion? >> mr. chairman, can i address that? >> surely. >> you're correct. the estimates of how much will have to be loaned to greece have gone up -- tripled in the last few days. and again relying on the cds markets as we have said, there seems to be a perception of greek sovereign debt has a significant probability o

congresswoman maloney could not be with us on the floor this -- for this debate, but her presence iselt here and throughout the united states and especially in the wallets of most americans. her legislation takes financial literacy and economic education 10 steps forward. it requires issuers to extend credit to young consumers under the age of 21 to obtain an application that contains the following. the signature of a parent, guardian, or other individual 21 years or older who will take responsibility for the debt. or that person who signs is proof that the applicant has independent means of repaying any credit extended. it limits prescreened offers of credit to young consumers and prohibits increases in the credit limit on accounts where a parent, legal guardian, spouse, or other individual is jointly libel unless the individual who is jointly libel approves the increase. . this law increases protection against aggressive card marketing and increasing the transpeashesy of affinity arrangements -- transparency of afin iment arrangements. i commend her for managing to pass that legisl

congresswoman carolyn maloney is in the house. [applause] gov. david paterson is here. [applause] attorney general andrew cuomo. [applause] state comptroller thomas to nepali is here. [applause] the mayor of new york city, michael bloomberg. [applause] dr. george campbell, jr., the president of cooper union. [applause] and all the citywide elected officials, thank you for being here. it is great to be back in cooper and union where generation of leaders and citizens have come to defend their ideas and contest their differences. it is also great to be back in lower manhattan. it is just a few blocks from wall street. [laughter] it really is good to be back. [laughter] because wall street is the heart of our financial sector. since i last spoke here two years ago, our country has been through a terrible trial. 8 million people have lost their jobs. countless small businesses have had to close their doors. trillions of dollars in savings have been lost. as a nation, we were forced to take unprecedented steps to rescue the financial system and the broader economy. as a resu

so she talks to this publicist in the united states aimed missy maloney and she helps her up because what she does is start a campaign and all of these american women are going to raise money so that madame curie can have her reading them so i tell the story about this campaign. what is so funny about this, this little tiny campion says everything about not just how american women are getting defined in the period but also help american science is getting defined because she comes to the united states and of course all of her american handlers have to try to deal with the contradiction that is madame curie. here is this one who is really good at science, the only person in the world who has to nobel prizes in science at a time but the problem is she's a woman and women are not supposed to be naturally good at science. so how do you talk about her in the american public? and the way that the american handlers deal with this is the suggest to americans, you see it in the newspapers, you see it in all of this discourse, the reason she is so good at science is not because she was selling

at the request of our colleague, congresswoman maloney, we gather today to examine important policy questionsat have arisen from the greek debt crisis. the crisis has quietly oinvolved ooefrt years. -- evolved over the years. and bankers have the potential to destabilize not only a single country but an entire economic region, especially if transactions they concoct distort transparency or heighten speculation. this hearing will allow us to explore whether the titans of wall street act as traders of government debt by underwriting bonds or traitors of government by using credit default swaps that gamble that sovereign debt will fail. those who seek to default the government are as bad as government arnold. when used for general hedging for the tool but when they are used for speculation they are have the potential of a trojan horse that will affect our markets. some smart and sophisticated investors have characterized naked credit default swaps as, quote, weapons of mass destruction. that can cause imaginary value out of thin air. the tragic situation in greece underscores the urnent need for
