mr. richards has agreed to me you should be interested in preventing irreversible damage to our remnant of the home in one of san francisco's most careful -- called for characters. -- colorful characters. what i am asking of you is to modify the permit to protect this asset. the appeal addresses several concerns regarding the ada and related california access rules. a planned space would not be allowed. there are no parking spaces in the park. according to the racks and park department, the planned accessible space is required because providing access to persons who are disabled at the new maintenance complex is required. but there is no new maintenance facility. they will be replacing and relocating the existing maintenance container with two new 18 by 20 foot containers and a new concrete bunker to hold greenways. because this is not a new facility, the board cannot allow them to pay for paradise and put a parking lot. i am asking you to modify the permit to remove the parking space from precious little park space. and let's talk about the 800 pound gorilla in the room. just as if you or

mr. duffy, commissioner richard and can respond to that. -- reardon can respond to that. president hwang: thank you. mr. sanchez. >> the subject property is located within a public zoning district. while it is unknown historic resource, it is not an individual landmark. it is not required to have a review from the historic preservation commission for the modifications. given that it is in -- not in a p district. review was done by the project. most of the concerns raised relate to the environmental aspects and not the permits themselves. this are best addressed in a separate appeal. the permit that is before you that appears that everything is proper in terms of the environmental review on the scope of the work that is before you and the permit and it did receive the proper environmental review. the analysis of the categorical exemption did outline the character defining features of the park and found the proposal would not make any adverse impacts on the character defining features and therefore, the categorical exemption was granted. i am available to answer any question

that was back in 1960 when richard nixon and jfk. >> i think mr. is an effective leader of his party. i would hope he would grant me the same. the question is which point of view, and which party do we want to lead the united states. >> mr. nixon would you like to comment on that statement? >> i have no comment. >> cenk: the people who listened on the radio thought nixon had one, but the people watching it on tv thought kennedy won. it appeared that the debate swung the election in favor of kennedy. ever since then, people have put a tremendous amount of weight on the debates. because of that everybody plays the expectations game. what is funny here is all of the republicans are saying oh my god, obama is going to win. >> mitt romney has the advantage because he has been through 20 of these debates. >> mitt romney is a business guy, and hasn't had a debate against a democrat in overten years. >> mitt romney is just in practice. >> having been through this much more recently than president obama, i think he starts with an advantage. >> i think barac

mr. brownell then said general if you haven't thought about it very much, lucius and i believe you should go with richard nixon. nixon is young. he was in the navy. he is from california. he is a good record in the house and the senate, and in the house and the president said well, general eisenhower said according to brownell, i think i have met him. i think i have met him. cleared with attack people and epitaph people say okay that's fine. i can't say that is exactly how it happened but certainly that is what herbert brownell said was a the way it happened in mr. brownell was a key player at that time. >> i think that the first two presidents, vice presidents to be selected with the idea that they would be future presidents, the first two or harry truman in 1944 and there is an argument right now between roosevelt scholars and truman scholars over whether that is the case but based on stories that i've heard growing up, that is pretty true that truman was elected and 44 and the idea that roosevelt would not survive his term. the second was richard nixon in 1952. there is, and i have some personal insig

richard, you mentioned that the move by mr. bernanke was a real game changer for you.o if indeed that is the case, look out over the next six months for us. how would you deploy cash if indeed the central banks are pretty much on the same page? >> it is the co-insurance ens of the move. i guess i never believe in coincidence in terms of markets. in the last three weeks we've seen the ecb make a very aggressive stance here. bernanke literally put an all-in with regard to quantitativizing in the united states. you don't fight the bang of england, the bank of japan, people's bank of china, the ecb and the fed. this ends up being good for risk assets over the next 6 to 12 months. we've added stocks to european equity, looking at emerging markets again which has lagged. ironically specifically in asia, in a follow-up to the chinese context right now. but there is a lot of opportunity right now. >> what about china? michelle set up some of the diplomatic tiffs going on between china and japan. if you look at china's economy, a lot of people have written china off in terms of

more on the both candidates let's now talk to richard white senior fellow and director of the center for a political military analysis hudson institute mr wise thanks very much indeed for coming to the program to discuss this well first let's talk about barack obama as we know four years ago many promises have been made but few of them have been actually fulfilled and now his wife michelle obama as addressed the voters and asked them to give her husband another chance and basically second term to fix the troubled economy and saying that change takes time now what's your personal views on this i mean does he deserve a second chance in your opinion well i would phrase it as such i don't think that anything he did was noble given the situation he faced and he hasn't you know hasn't been a crime or made a terrible mistake that would i think warrant his and if it's someone they show you shouldn't be reelected on that basis so the question deserves is a hard it's more people are thinking more how you compare the next four years under president obama as opposed to a president romney so what are we likely to see then in the next four years and

mr. romney's defenders went to a whole new place. a whole new place that i'm not sure anybody expected it to go. richard williamson is this guy here, a top romney foreign policy adviser, a veteran of the bush/cheney administration. and consider that fact when you see what mr. williamson told the "washington post" today. he told the "post" if mitt romney were president there wouldn't be any protests at u.s. embasies in the middle east and africa because the rioters would have too much respect for the united states. he says, quote, there's a pretty compelling story that if you had a president romney you'd be in a different situation, mr. williamson told the post. quote, in egypt and libya and yemen, again, demonstrations, the respect for america has gone down. there's not a sense of american resolve. so there wouldn't be unrest among muslims in the region, over a blasphemous video on the internet and wouldn't be terrorist attacks on u.s. targets and personnel if only the so-called arab street respected the u.s. president's resolve. in this republican vision, a mitt romney presidency would make anti-americ

mr. ginsburg, the fisher brothers, their political supporters, clean up your act, we get it, you're a bully, stop the harassment before it causes another tragedy. thank you. >> thank you. >> richard fong. >> good morning, commissioners, i want to try to take a little second look at the trans bay area of the park and everything else. i listened to it the last time, it's pretty good, it goes through everything thoroughly, the part i had problems with had to do with the water and the sewer treatment, it's going to -- when it overflows, it's going to dump into an estuary, currently, we're having those problems of seagulls dinging from respiratory, that's what california brought into the acw commission for us to listen to, there was a veteran there and doctor, they don't know what had happened to these seagulls around there, so on this where you're going to have the trans bay and there's going to be a whole lot more people and more problems that are going to come up from excessive sewer, so rather than having them dump out the raw sewer into the estuary, i would like to recommend that possibly while they're still makes the plans, it's not yet 2017, that there be the additional sewer t

mr. romney may finally have regained his faculty. he didn't mention the word sympathy or apology. joining us now is richard wolfe. mitt romney keeps talking about this false allegation that the president apologizes four america. but isn't it time he apologized first to the consulate staff who don't need a set of circumstances that are inflamed by the bluster and nonsense that comes out of his mouth, but also, what about the relatives of those who were killed. is there no courtesy, could he not have waited to release that statement until their next of kin had been informed. he's the man who needs to apologize. >> you need to recognize that there are times when a president is a political partisan figure and that job is about campaigning and there are times when you are speaking about a country a country in mourning. that's when you're really head of state, the president does most things, that's what mitt romney fumbled really badly. >> the world fumbled is inadequa inadequate, richard. >> well looking back at what actually happened and considering his own behavior, i think romney needs to reread the words of presid

new york, democratic strategist professor bob schrum and richard wolffe, and david corn, autser of best selling "showdown," just out in paper back. mrmney and mr. ryan are trying to suggest that an insult to half the nation was actually a philosophical statement of difference between their ticket and the president. do you buy stage two in their tale of the tape, the tape you brought to the nation's attention? >> thank you, martin. thank you for pitching the book for me. >> pleasure. >> this is really a grand game of bait and switch here. there is a debate to be had. you read "showdown" and it's interesting, i wrote that barack obama -- i guess mitt romney, too -- wanted this campaign to be one about clashing values between, you know, over the role of government, community action, individual liberty, tax rates and all that stuff. that's sort of what we're getting. but what mitt romney said at that may 17th fund-raiser was not about policy or ideological difference. i mean, the great thing about this story is that people can go and just look at the tape again and again and again and see that he was dismissing everyone who votes for ob
