mr. garamendi: it was the george w. bush administration. mr. tonko: they focused on financial services, they ignored agriculture and manufacturing and now we're paying the price. even though we lost a 1/3 of the manufacturing jobs in this country, we're still perched as number one in the global race. however, if we are to allow that neglect to continue, we would eventually fall out of the number one position. so the 4.6 million jobs lost,

mr. george allen. "what washington can learn from the world of sports." >> a great deal. and i learned a lot growing up on the sidelines of the training camps. the overarching thing that washington can learn from the world of sports is that in sports their religion, ethnicity does not matter. what matters is can you help the team when? it is a meritocracy. everyone have an equal opportunity. that guaranteed equal result an opportunity which is what our country was built on. you would never see the way washington operates, redistributing from the winner's to those who are not. if it were up to washington that would take one of the six super bowl trophies of the steelers and say, oh, these poor detroit lions, they have never made it testable, let's give them a trophy. you have to earn it in sports. there is accountability. personal responsibility. measurement to be you know who is winning and losing. there is also a competitiveness. you're always looking at how you can make your team better. as for team america, we need to be looking at what our economic policies, tax polic

. >> will tony blair's correspondence with george bush be published before mr.r's next appearance in front of the iraq inquiry? >> my honorable friend will know that there is a long- standing convention, quite rightly, that a serving prime minister does not and cannot order the release of papers that refer to a previous prime minister. that is why the cabinet secretary will be looking at this issue, which is a matter for him. anyone unhappy with the conclusions is clearly able to write to tony blair to make their views known. for my own part, i hope this inquiry can be as open and clear as possible so that we get to the bottom of the very important issues it is looking at. >> as the prime minister will be aware, i spent most of my working life in schools and colleges, so i have overwhelming evidence of the benefits of the education maintenance allowance. it brings benefits to teenagers from modest backgrounds in terms of their employability skills and in raising their achievement. may i urge the prime minister to go back to the position when he pledged to suppor

[applause] >> thank you for that wonderful introduction. it is always a thrill to be here at the miami book fair. in february 17, '89 two months before george washington was sworn in as first president we receive the fascinating letter from his friend morris reporting for the first time on the sudden madness of king george iii. morris said in the cane's delirious state, quote, he conceived himself to be no less a personage than george washington watching at the head of the continental army. then morris added facetiously you have apparently done something that sticks most terribly in the king's a stomach. indeed washington had. who is this, uttered george who was a diligent in his own time and ever since that he actually managed to invade the feverish dream world of the deranged royal george? i had this question when i wrote my hamilton biography and one day i was reading a series of letters that hamilton wrote after he had a quarrel late in the war with washington that l

george w. bush, who routinely spent about half of his time talking about issues abroad. now, mr. obama says the u.s. will finish the job of pulling troops out of iraq before the end of the year. he talked about some foreign, international trade deals. but by and large, his focus was on the economy here at home. that is certainly not a coincidence. you look at poll after poll. americans say the economy is their number one concern. vinita and rob? >> emily schmidt, reporting. thanks, emily. >>> and, of course, emily just talked about that empty seat left for congresswoman giffords. also in her honor last night, most lawmakers wore those black and white lapel ribbons. the white, symbolizing peace. the black, for those who died in the tucson shootings. she'll be moved to rehab later today. >>> the serious topics even got a few laughs in the speech. we'll show you that in the next half hour. >> on top of that, george stephanopoulos anchors a special edition of "good morning america" coming up at 7:00. we'll have complete coverage of last night's state of the union. >>> the president i

george w. bush on nine eleven it was glad and we're proud. ok i hope i hope mr obama called president medvedev today because it happened to us again and we don't get the input the that we deserve to be on the borders of this country i'm talking about the west let's let's talk about what happened on the last march major bombings here in moscow two key stations that you and i are very familiar with here pocket two just down the street from the odds are building here. we have two events there in it in a coordinated a very short space amount of time we've had one or more blasts and one a centralized location that of dumb idea if your what are the chances what are the concerns for a continuation for something more so i mean you know just thinking about looking at those gruesome pictures i mean when we think of protecting airports what are we really thinking about we don't want somebody get a bomb on an airplane that's what we're thinking about when we think of airports we're not top of mind is not arrivals because that's when the jobs don't right you ended your trip

mr. speaker, there will be those who are sitting at home, perhaps in the gallery, who are thinking, but some of this started under george w. bush's presidency. and it did, mr. speaker. but it was all supported by barack obama. it was significantly accelerated on the other -- after the election and the inauguration of barack obama. so his approach to solving the economic problem was, borrow more money, spend more money, drive this nation into debt, and believe -- believing that he could stimulate an economy that somehow would come back and pay the taxes to offset the interest and the overhead that this government now has. that's the keynesian approach. he used the same approach when it comes to health care. the keynesian approach to health care. which is, this thought, we spend too much money on health care. we can't afford it. we have too many people uninsured, so let's go out here and impose a health insurance policy on another 32 or 47 million americans and send the i.r.s. in to enforce the law so that they compel every american to buy a health insurance policy that is either produced or approved by the federal govern

mr ames thanks being with us tonight on r.t. so tony blair has admitted there isn't a giving up private assurance to george w. bush that he can count on us over iraq but refuses to make that correspondence public how significant is it that he's not there for i guess being fully open i think it is probably the main significance that's come out of the inquiry this week that the inquiry wanted to publish extracts of the correspondence between tony blair and george bush and some of the records of the conversations but the cabinet secretary here blocked it after consulting with blair it does come time to blair blair didn't try to hide behind the officials and what it does is to give blair the right to the ability to hear him to define what he said his own terms rather not actually seeing the very words that he used some of them have been reported some of them have been leaked to some extent it was confirmed today but it is very important we see exactly the terms in which tony blair made a commitment to george bush in the run up to the war and so john chilcot inquiry chairman has made that very clear that we need t
