so mansfield goes on if there was cause the negro must be detained in other words if it was proved they actually had been the subject of theft in the negro, if not what it was as plain as that, only as rippled through the hole for some time the lord chief justice made his way through august this case but others concerning similar escapes and detentions. and said given all said that neither the fact of the sleeve coming into england much less his or her own baptism could be set and yet the public heard the shift while slavery had been and plus many things in different ages and states the exercise of power of a master of his sleeve must be supported by a lot of particular countries, america, the west indies, spain, but no foreigner can in england claim such a right, such a right over a man, such a claim as not known to the law of england, the power plant never was here or acknowledged by the law. no master here was ever allowed to take a slave by force to be sold abroad because he deserted from service or any other reason but survivor. we cannot say the cost set forth by this return is al

>> roland martin, mansfield frazier. thank you for joining us. >> thank you for having me. >> thank you a lot. >> we want to hear from you. receiving lots of thoughts on my blog at -- for foz also at facebook at frederickawhitfieldcnn. you can call -- we'll share some of the comments with you. a quick prelude to what is being said on my blog. saying almost everyone can see the media milking the drama out of this story. the president is right. let's move on. let's allow the three gentlemen to work it out without hyper-drama. >> esther says the first reaction shown by obama was one which came from his deepest soul. it is true nowadays there is still racism though it is played out, is not true. jay jonah said i think mr. obama made the right call. brought the situation. human ides the issue. some of the comments coming from you. want to hear more from you. we'll share some of the comments that you have been phoning in as well. and then, an encore presentation is taking place this weekend of "black in america 2" see it again

just a few days earlier, pot her escaped from a halfway house in mansfield, ohio. but the fugitive's flight ended when authorities caught up with him here in san diego county at a christian retreat in valley center. >> they were still surprisingly in the same truck. that was spotted out in that area. i cannot could not plimt the media enough here for getting the message out and they were out there for us. >> candice watson was escorted out, now off to jail. >> it's hard. they were saying that she was there. >> good evening. i'm nancy grace. i want to thank you for being with us. the mystery surrounding the sudden death of music superstar michael jackson intensifies. >> i got this chill through my body. and i said, michael, if you take that medicine, you might not wake up. >> we have a personal doctor here with him. >> he's not responding to anything. he's not responding to cpr or anything. >> michael jackson's dermatologist said he is not surprised that police found bottles of prescription drugs in jackson's home. tend singer had struggled with addiction before. >>

that's the question that i'm asking, mansfield. >> no, i don't think he should have used it.it's a pejorative term. it was an incendiary situation. i think he probably regrets using it, and, no, i don't think it was a stupid act on the policeman's part. >> yeah, because he made the point, michael eric dyson, that he didn't have all the facts, he also said he was biased as he's friends with professor gates. but then he could have ended it and saying is there a problem of racial profiling in the country, sure there is. he didn't have to necessarily prejudge the behavior of the police officer. that's the criticism that the president is facing right now. what do you think, michael? >> i don't think he was prejudging the situation. mr. frazier is one of the great writers now on society and culture and i hate to in one sense oppose his viewpoint, but i think here the president didn't say the policeman was stupid. he said he was acting stupidly. two, he didn't prejudge the man. he said in light of the facts that the offensable reason for the search of mr. gates' home was there was a

just a few days earlier, potter had escaped from a halfway house in mansfield, ohio. but the fugitive's flight ended when authorities caught up with them here in san diego county at a christian retreat in valley center. >> they were surprisingly in the same truck. that was spotted out in that area. i cannot compliment the media enough here for getting the message out for us. i know "the nancy grace show" was out there for us. >> candace watson was escorted out. now off to jail. >> do you think she deserves anything? >> i do. you know, it's hard. they were saying she dyed her hair. kind of makes me sick. that's more evidence she was probably helping him. >> good evening. i'm nancy grace. i want to thank you for being with us. the mystery surrounding the sudden death of music superstar michael jackson intensifies. >> i got a chill through my body. and i said, michael, if you take that medicine, you might not wake up. >> we have a personal doctor here with us, sir. >> you have a doctor there? >> yes, but he's not responding to anything. to no -- he's not responding to cp

wall street was bailed out by american taxpayers in mansfield, ohio, in moneysi, indiana, where unemployment, if we are going into 2010 and we have double-digit unemployment in the heartland of the country and wall street is humming, what americans measure the economy by is unemployment. they don't measure it by the dow jones. it's unemployment. and unemployment is really, i think, a killer. >> and obama made a terrible mistake in promising that unemployment would not go i think him said above 9 or 10. at clearly going to go up. it was clear at the time. it is pr 101 don't overpromise and de overpromise so that was one mistake. the second mistake they did was to have a stimulus package which didn't really have any effect until 2009. in their case be patient, we didn't design it, well, why not. if the recession is now, why not i have a estimate -- estimate plus package that stimulates, the first year during the recession might be a good time for a stimulus package. the problem they face now and it goes to the perception is that people are saving. the savings rate is going up. >> they're not s

. >> all right, michael eric dyson, mansfield frazier, thank you. >> sarah palin is stepping down as governor of alaska. the question remains what is next for her. nora, good morning. >> reporter: hey, good morning. sarah palin may be ending her role as governor, but she is beginning the next chapter of her life. what she does next, well that is still a mystery. of course yesterday she spent the day in her home town of wasilla with her red shirt on. today is her last full day in office. she is going to be serving the people of alaska by dishing up some food at the annual governor's picnic in anchorage. and then she heads north for her final farewell. some people are calling her a quitter, some calling her courageous. but what is clear, if she wants to run for president in 2012, they must take a look at the new poll that says 53% of americans now view her negatively. that is her lowest approval rating since they became john mccain's running mate a year ago. she has money she can use to travel on be half of republican candidates. next asked if she was going to run for president, she wo

not rank-and-file republicans in mansfield, but those that sit in the senate.ery democrat is going to have to step up and say, we are one to doç this bill right. bipartisan is a great thing. i want to get bipartisan support, but the most important thing is to get a good, strong bill with a strong public option with class controls we do not keep overpaying insurance companies and drug companies. we write the rules strongly so no longer can the insurance companies gain the system with pre-existing conditions and the discrimination they do to push people that might be too expensive for them to cover out of the health care system. all of those things we need to do and democrats need to step up in the next six weeks. history is going to address the president and a house on whether we write a good strong health insurance reform bill. we did it in the education and labor and pension committee with chairman dodd. the rest of the senate has not yet done it. the rest of the house is most of their, but not yet. but they're going to get there. host: let me put some number

not rank-and-file republicans or mansfield or scenes feel or my mother rank-and-file republicans to sit in the house and senate, so the only way -- i think some point every democrat has to step up and say we are going to do this bill right. it's bipartisan is a great thing. i want to get bipartisan support but the important thing is to get a good strong bill with a strong public option with cost controls so that we don't keep overpaying drug companies or insurance companies. we've right strong insurance rules so no longer can the insurance company game with pre-existing conditions and the discrimination they do want to push people that might be too expensive for them to cover out of the health care system. all of those things we need to do and democrats need to step in the next six weeks and history is going to judge the president and judge us on whether we write a good strong progress of health insurance reform bill and we did it in the health education labor pension committee with chairman dodd. the rest of the senate hasn't done it. the house has mostly done had they are not there ye

. >> port mansfield, less than 6 inches of rain so far. this year?this year. >> they're 10 inches below where they should be this year. if you take a look at the drought monitor all the way from the hill country in austin and waco, southward, they're having crop failure, they're having literally to having to water the cows and the horses way more than they could, because there's nothing in the field. there's no moisture in the field for the animals and the livestock to get to. we'll have that story coming up on the weekend, tony. >> we need the tropic to cook up a little bit. we are not talking about a cat 5, but we could use it. >> you are right on the money. but many of these crops, it's too late. you are not going to revive some of the stuff, because the drought is so far gone, the crops literally withered away, but wouldn't it be nice to get a tropical, 30-mile-per-hour system, sit here for a day, keep moving. i don't want to it sit there for 15 days, but then it would be flooding. watch what you ask for. >> yeah. >> but we will get some rain sho

mike mansfield.nd the clinton state department tried to do that with harvard professor joe nye and instead the person who went is a big contributor. so the obama people have certainly taken hold of the ambassadorship. the other point is dennis ross going from the state department to the white house. major figure. big player in many administrations on the mideast and now is right at the president's arm helping him at the president's elbow sitting in on every meeting, every phone call. >> andrea, i want to ask you about the cia story, the democrats in the house are pursuing an investigation here. is this an effort of high moral importance or political suicide? >> i think it's certainly partly political cover your rear end. that has been discussed by all of you as well. but at the same time leon panetta brought this to them. panetta clearly felt it needed to be briefed. i think if you went around america and asked people do you think we should have a program after 9/11 to go after top al qaeda operative

that's why these letters from individual people, whether they're from zanesville, mansfield or vena or youngstown. people all over my state are hurting. people all over the country are hurting, the people in the presiding officer's state, anywhere in colorado or connect, that's why this is why we need to take action. 14,000 americans are losing health insurance every day. i'm hearing from a lot of them. i'm hearing from those who can't find work and can't find insurance. it's time that we move forward, mr. president. i yield the floor. mr. dodd: can i just -- the presiding officer: the senator from connecticut. mr. dodd: i want to personally thank him. i mentioned earlier has done a tremendous job, as others have as well, but sherrod brown brings a wealth of experience and talking about real people with these issues. there is a tendency of all of us to discuss these matters from about 30,000 feet using the language we're familiar with to describe what's going on. too on for people across the -- too often for people across the country, they wonder if anybody is talking about them. by re

i grew up in mansfield, ohio, a middle class town, about 50,000 people, halfway between cleveland and columbus, in north central ohio. it is a town like thousands of other cities in ohio, like zanesville and glea zenya and portsmouth. it is a town not much different from dozens of cities around the nation much my tad was a family doctor. practiced into his late 70's. lived to be 89. died about nine years ago. my dad, for years, made house calls caring for his friends and neighbors, regardless of their ability to pay one patient, i remember, gave my dad a little arrowhead collection after my dad had done very important wor on -- for his health. today the health, education, labor and pension committee passed historic health reform legislation that restores my dad's sense of quality and compassion in our health care system. this legislation was not written for the insurance industry. it wasn't drafted by the drug industry or any other segment of the health care industry. we remember not that long ago in this chamber -- i remember it more intensely in the other end of the hall in the hou

senator mansfield, one of the great ambassadors of the united states to japan said it was the most importantlateral relationship in the world. and certainly there is no other more important. this week, the prime time in japan has said national elections for the end of august. so this is a critical time, and i don't think the president could have forged a more capable experienced in private business and -- in every way a distinguished nominee as he has with the nomination of john roos. so i join the vice president, former vice president, and all the others here who have publicly congratulated both john roos and congratulate the president on making the extraordinary nomination that he has made today, governor huntsman and others but particularly we want to say our strong approval of john roos. thank you very much. >> thank you very much, ambassador foley, and vice president mondale, senator bradley, for coming forward to introduce our nominee. i believe chairman -- >> i need to go to the floor. you guys haven't lost your touch for unprepared, that was pretty good. thank you.

most people around our country in toledo, akron, cincinnati, dayton, and mansfield have benefited from hatchman, which -- ax hatchman which cut the prices 50% to 70%. we have not allow follow-on biologics, to allow competition in the system. but next week, as the presiding officer knows, in the health, education, and labor, we have the opportunity to make affordable generic drugs more accessible for our seniors, more accessible for our nation's middle class. more accessible for the hundreds of thousands -- no, the millions of americans who are suffering from these diseases, but the -- the -- so many of them are unable to get the -- the -- unable to afford these expensive biologics. health care reform must broaden access to generic alternatives. it must broaden access to generic alternatives to biologics, the most expensive kinds of prescription drugs. failing to do so, mr. president, is not just bad policy -- bad public policy, failing to do so means we are letting down millions of our sickest citizens. i yield the floor and suggest the absence of a quorum. the presiding officer: the c

those same people around my state, people in zenia, springfield, mansfield, akron, portsmouth need that same access to generic versions. the vote earlier this week was not in the best interest of patients suffering from multiple sclerosis or arthritis or cancer or alzheimer's or heart disease. it was not in the best interest of taxpayers because who's paying the bill here? either people are paying out of their pocket -- most can't afford it -- or insurance companies are paying it. insurance companies are going to raise their rate to employers and the patients. or taxpayers are paying it. that's who it's costing money. the beneficiaries of it aren't patients. it hurts innovation. the beneficiaries are the drug executives and the biologic company executives. it's not in the best interest of taxpayers. it was in the best interest of the large drug and biotech industries that fought to continue unchecked monopoly. there is an article in "roll call" or "hill" today or yesterday that pretty much said that biologic industry bought this one. the biologic industry spent $500,000 in ads in the la
