so then you have mr obama and obama said just exactly what you said. we want you to make sure that there is no referendum your job is not to promote democracy increase your job is to extract as much capital as you can from greece so that our banks who plays the bear can win at the expense of your banks and the european central bankers knuckle under so there is an absolute. garment and as one politician told me the one good thing of obama as president is he security europe any allusion that they can any longer rely upon any worst president to really take an enlightened a point of view that the presidency of the united states the treasury secretary ship and the justice department essential have been taken over by the financial system or the very experienced and their they look at obama just as another day and for the first time since world war two they're learning to say you know interesting what i want to know what you think. the case of greece you think is essentially benefiting banks and benefiting u.s. leaders who you say support them what do you do

tv host smiley blasted mr. obama for the perceived slur. he argues mr. obama would never use with lateen, jewish or gay americans. >> would he ever say to our hispanic brothers and sisters on immigration in their concerns, stop gruesome ling? stop crying, stop complaining? did he say to gays and lesbians, top gruesome ling, stop crying no how does he get away with saying this to black folk when he would never form his lips to say that to any other constituency? >> clarence, how do you want to address this? >> well, i think first of all, for those who were in the room at the black caucus, there was a lot of love in the room. while you're going have people saying he shouldn't have said that, blah, blah, blah, still, he had the crowd with him. number two, everybody knows smiley and cornell west have been -- criticism of barack obama since before his re- elections for not being close enough to the liberal progressive agenda they follow. i've known cornell 15, 20 years. i respect all of them. but they have disagreements. >> what do you think of the new york ti

let me just say this, they're wrong. >> that question is one of only six that mr. obamaawaii. it was an obvious softball pitched by cnn's dan loathian. here's another example of mr. loathian's tough questioning. >> could you give us an update on that car that you talked so much about being in the ditch? can you give us an update as to where it is today? what kind of highway do you think it will be driving on in 2011? who will really be behind the wheel given the new makeup in congress? and what do you think republicans will be sipping and saying next year? >> all right. there's an inside look at some white house questioning. what do you think about that? these obvious softball questions. >> this gives a whole new meaning to the term questions with answers. total media bias going on here. not surprising. >> well, the press corps is known to give president obama a pretty rough time sometimes. >> uh-huh. yeah, well, it seems to me that he obviously rehearsed this, that he wants to be the center of attention. it's very odd in a way to even question the president, regardless

steve simko says he plans to vote for mr. obama again but in such a dismal job market, it's hard to get as fired up as in 2008. when you opened those classified ads this morning and looked and saw that paltry number of jobs, what did you think? >> i said, typical of the area. that's about the best way i can describe that. it's very disappointing. >> reporter: simko has a lead on a new job but it wouldn't start until next year, just around the time when his unemployment benefits are currently scheduled to run out. chip reid, cbs news, scranton, pennsylvania. >> pelley: and that's the cbs evening news for tonight. for all of us at cbs news all around the world, good night. captioning sponsored by cbs captioned by media access group at wgbh access.wgbh.org >>> this is 9news now. >>> the one woman crime wave is over. police arrested stephanie lynn schwab. that's the woman suspected in a string of crimes across our area. police finally caught up with her this afternoon after a chase that spanned two counties and ended in a crash. she wa

a nuclear weapon would pose threat to region. >> china's president and the president of russia, mr. obamased the report and the prospect of tighter sanctions. russia ruled out new sanctions. he says there is rule for tightening existing sanction. president obama says iran is hurting from them. >> sanctions have enormous scope. we are building off the program that has been established. >> but the economic pain is not dulled the nuclear ambition. at the hague, european foreign ministers were less inclined to leave all options on the table. >> i am. >> we do not participate in military intervention. we think this is counterproduction. >> meanwhile, the republican presidential contenders compete for the title that can be toughest on iran. >> this country can sanction iranian central bank right now and shut down that country economy. >> maximum covert operation to block and disrupt the iranian program. >> iran will have a nuclear weapon. and with me at 'they won't have nuclear weapon. >> the odd man out is ron paul who says it's a step toward war. a step he won't take. wendell goler, fox news.

mr. obamaered on his very brief trip to australia. what they are doing in darwin is essentially reaffirming that troop commitment which mr. obama announced yesterday in cambera. 250 marines will be arriving by next year. ultimately that number will increase to 2,500. it is a very small but a very symbolic commitment of u.s. forces in the asia-pacific region. one of the biggest troop deployments in fact to australia since world war ii. mr. obama touched on world war ii, talked about darwin's being essentially australia's pearl harbor. for the history there. that was back in 1942 when darwin was bombed by japanese forces. more bombs actually dropped on darwin than pearl harbor by comparison. that is when the alliance was formed. he also talked about the 60-year bond of the anzus treaty that is the australia-new zealand, united states treaty where an attack on one country is seen as an attack on all three. it was evoked for the very first time after 9/11. australian troops were mobilized as part o

mr. obama's campaign called the romney ad deceitful and dishonest. but romney's camp issued this defense. then candidate obama criticized his opponent for not wanting to talk about the economy. today president obama and his campaign are afraid to talk about the economy. despite it's size, new hampshire could be pivotal in a close general election. the president won it in 2008. but polls show romney, who owns a house in the state, and served as governor in nearby massachusetts, is leading obama in new hampshire by as much as ten points. before romney can actually take on the president, he still has a tough primary battle. and right now, some polls show him running second to newt gingrich. as the polls have shifted, occupy wall street protesters have targeted the candidate. today it was mr. obama's turn. republican candidates have a chance to reshuffle the deck once again tonight. they face off in their 11th debate. one of the key topics will be foreign policy. that's a topic that some of them have struggled with. brian? >> kristen welker back at the wh

and prompting mr. obama to again tell republicans vote for his jobs bill. >> there's no excuse for inaction. >> house majority leader eric cantor and his wife dined this week with the vice president and his wife, but the hobnobbing hasn't cooled the tension, either over the president's jobs bill or the at least 15 economic measures passed by house republicans and now awaiting action by senate majority leader harry reid. >> bring these measures to the floor for an up-and-down vote. if they don't pass, fine. what is harry reid and the democrats afraid of? >> all those things are nice, they're important, but if we want to grow the economy right now then we have to think bigger. >> more troublesome for the president may be tuesday coming in a new book by former president bill clinton, who writes "mr. obama and other democrats failed to craft an effective message in 2010," according to "the washington post." clinton entered his re-election year in a much better place than this president. in october of his third y

mr. obama said he saved the birds from a certain fate. >> some of you may know that recently i've been taking a series of executive actions that don't require congressional approval. well, here's another one. we can't wait to pardon these turkeys. otherwise, they'd end up next to the mashed potatoes and stuffing. >> later, the first family helped package and hand out food at a washington area food bank. >> lucky birds. >> those are big birds. >> they are, too. huge, huh? >>> when we come back on this thanksgiving morning, we'll talk more turkey and get the numbers behind the billion-dollar bird business. >>> then, what lawyers for michael jackson's doctor are asking for the week before his sentencing. >>> and wheel from the latest on the pilot who somehow walked away from this amazing crash. >>> overseas markets are mostly down, as worries about europe spread to germany and france. tokyo's nikkei average lost 150 points today. hong kong's hang seng gained 71 points. in london, the ftse opened l

mr. obama returns to washington tomorrow. >>> even though he's overseas the president still took time to acknowledge the 36th annual great american smokeout. he notes 46 people -- 46 million people are still addicted. mr. obama fought his own smoking habit and did it by chewing nicotine gum. also a move to hike the cigarette tax in million dollar to $3 a pack. >>> the time right now 4:34. at 4:40, triple a releases its holiday travel predictions for thanksgiving. >>> at 4:41. are you serious? this is a story you do not want to miss. passengers asked to pay thousands of dollars for fuel. we'll explain. >>> we're back in two minutes with your weather first. you're watching 9news now. >>> welcome back. 4:36 on this friday morning. happy about that. sunshine also, we don't have the rain or the clouds or the wintry mix like yesterday. today lots of sunshine but a chill by one. by noon only 43 but lighter winds this afternoon out of the south and southwest at about 5 to 10 miles an hour. for the ride

mr. obama announced an agreement with australia to expand the u.s. military presence there starting next year. >> this rotational deployment is significant because what it allows us to do is to not only build capacity and cooperation between our two countries, but it also allows us to meet the demands of a lot of partners in the region. >> mr. obama will address the australian parliament tomorrow. >>> campaign 2012, the republican presidential race just got a little tighter. it shows four candidates nearly tied for the lead in iowa. the state holds its caucuses in january. we go now to susan mcginnis in washington with more. susan, good morning to you. >> good morning, terrell. >> reporter: we have had candidates survive scandal and flip-flops and flubs, and now with a surprising come back from behind of newt gingrich, when it comes to iowa and the republican nomination, it is still anybody's guess who gets it. the republican candidates are hitting the campaign trail hard, especially in iowa, where the first caucus is just seven weeks away. a new pol

now quite clear that mr. obama and his advisors believe the only chance they have to win re-election, outside of the republic candidate blowing up, is to convince americans that rich guys have caused the bad economy. the super committee is a fraud as democrats would not back away from demanding a $1 trillion tax increase even though they knew republicans could not possibly accept that. based on the election of 2010. and the promises made. but the 6 committee dems wouldn't move. would not agree to restructure the tax code to raise revenue. they simply demanded 1 trillion in new taxes. think about that the golf the super committee was to cut 1.2 trillion in spending over 10 years. a pittance. and the whole thing is deraltd over a tax increase? the u.s.a. owes 15 trillion plus. and the democratic not willing to curtail spending. simpson bowles wanted 12.2. mr. obama ignored that what we have is a citing president who does not want to cut back, it seems. just today the nation spent another $4 billion it doesn't have. j

and we can't seem to reestablish it and i think it was well among the great hopes for change that mr obama represented was that he would reestablish the rule of law on wall street and banking in money matters and he has absolutely failed to get the the s.e.c. to enforce the law or to refer to the department of justice he's done nothing to reestablish the glass steagall at he allowed the supreme court decision on citizens united to just pass by without. doing anything to even start a legislative process to redefine what the personhood of a corporation is because obviously corporations are not people in the way that people do they don't have rights they don't have duties obligations and responsibilities to the public interest in the same way that people do their effect their sociopathic you know they exist really. only to to have allegiance to the shareholders and the boards of directors and that's where it begins and ends so the idea that they should be able to express themselves freely by corrupting the entire political process by flooding money into the political process is absurd but mor

mr. obama's debt down at $1 million per day. we are going deeper into debt at more than $4 -- at more than 4,000 times that much every day under mr. obama's own submitted budget and deficit projections. mr. speaker, an unanimous prologue to the vote before us, the national debt surpassed $15 trillion yesterday. mr. speaker, we have already tried mr. obama's way. we have thoroughly tested democrat economics 101. the theory that we can tax and deficit spend ourselves into prosperity or as vice president biden put it, we have to spend money to keep from going bankrupt. mr. speaker, that theory has utterly failed. we cannot repeal the laws of mathematics. but now the seminal moment approaches when each of us in this body will have the rare opportunity to cast a single vote that could pull this nation back from the brink of economic cat cliss am. and for the sake of our children and our children's children, i pray that we do the right thing. with that i yield back. mr. conyers: mr. speaker -- the speaker pro tempore: the chair must r
