next question mr. stark. >> yes, if you look it's difficult for congress because the police and firefighters and rescue personnel are a powerful constituency and it's ridiculous politically. i'm wondering how much the wireless carriers who also have their own spectrum have their own political weight to bring to bear, how much in the spectrum debate are the allies and how much are they the enemies? >> i think some of each. some of the major carriers are very supportive of the efforts because they had a video where it would be beneficial for the public community than to their business interest for. of course we are very pleased with that and there are some in the commercial world that are looking at it that what we believe ms. moore selfishly to deal with their particular needs as a company and when that happens that is surprising to us. we have more support than we had detractors, and that's very helpful. >> i would never consider any of the public safety communications carriers as enemies. we are all partner

mr. starks. >> host: yes, one of the reasons it's been difficult for congress to cut grants is because police, firefighters and rescue personnel are a powerful constituency, and the idea of saying no to them seems ridiculous to them, seems like it would be bad for them politically. i'm wondering, though, how much the wireless carriers who also have their own interests in spectrum, they have their own political weight to bring to bear. how much in this spectrum debate are they allies and how much are they the enemies? >> guest: well, i think some of each. the, some of the major carriers are very supportive of our efforts because they have a vision where it would be beneficial to the public, the public safety community and to their business interests for us to partner with them at some point to build out this nationwide network. those that have that vision, of course, we're very pleased with that. unfortunately, there are some in that commercial world that are looking at it what we believe is more selfishly to deal with their particular needs as a company. and where that happens, that's disappo

there are reports mr. stark didn't agree with the central bank's bond-buying program. buy billions of dollars worth of italian and greek bonds. apparently he didn't like it. that's what the reports are saying. we saw markets sell off fairly considerably at that announcement. the market is waiting to hear more from the president. we'll hear from him again in richmond, virginia, minutes from now. the main surprise last night to wall street was the size of his check proposals. we were expecting around $300 billion in proposals. what he announced was $447 billion. that's the equivalent of 3% gdp. fairly substantial. >> let me ask you this. as we look at business conference, the big question out there some might say is whether or not business feels comfortable now, that in the future they can now invest. we have often talked about that $1.5 trillion to $2 trillion in the bank account. will this be enough for business? those saying we don't have the confidence, to have that confidence now? >> i'm not sure it will be. most experts don't believe this will be enough to get busi

includes a provision from the foster youth financial security act i introduced with my colleagues mr. stark who addressed high rates of identity theft among foster youth. i was outraged to find that foster children are disproportionately victims of identity theft since their personal information passes through so many hands. as i saw first hand when my parents welcomed foster youth into our home over many years, they already face tremendous obstacles without the increased threat of having their identity taken and credit ruined, which prevents them from finding a place to live, accessing credit on their own or obtaining other base exneeds. this bill would ensure that each foster youth over 16 years of age receives free credit checks before leaving the system and assistance on clearing any inaccuracies that may have come to light. reports have shown if done effective will, the cost is minimal. i want to thank, mr. speaker, the committee for their interest in this issue and the many advocates who have championed this cause. this is only the first step in providing foster youth with the tools t

now, the poor national jobs picture stands in stark contrast to texas's pro jobs limited government fpolicies. this from congresswoman michele bachmann. mr. president, we gave you $2.4 trillion in new spending and the american people got nothing in return. let's bring in our chief political analyst gloria borger. it's not surprising what the presidential candidates are saying. they're calling president obama president zero for that matter as well. >> it's predictable, an easy political shot, but they're preaching to the choir out there with the american public. take a look at some of our new polls. we asked the question, is the economy in a recession? 8 out of 10 people, fully 82% say of course, yes, we are in a recession. we also asked the question, how are things going in this country today. 7 out of 10 said badly. so if you're a presidential candidate, you're campaigning against an incumbent, unemployment, 9.1%, what would you be saying out there in the campaign trail? it's the kind of things, by the way, that barack obama used to say about george w. bush. >> how much bres pr es sure does this put on the president as he gets ready for

stark message this morning in their editorial page for president obama. basically, they're sayg just bag the campaign now, and it is coming from the chicago tribune, his home town paper endorsed mr. obama back in 2008, but this time around the editorial board is singing a very different tune. this is a quote from it, quote, i checked the constitution, and he is under no compulsion to run for reelection. he can scrap the campaign, bag it, fundraising calls, an never have to watch another republican debate as long as he's willing to vacate the premiseses by january 2013. that's a pretty harsh message for a sitting president in his home town newspaper. we're joined to talk about this, sally cohen, founder of movement vision.org, karen henretty is communications director for the national republican congressional committee. karen, welcome to you, good to see you both. >> good to see you. >> good to be here this morning. martha: sally, what's your reaction to that? >> my reaction is shock and disappointment. let's be clear it wasn't the editorial board of the tribune writing this, it was one editorial board member and it's part of a conservative pile-on to try and distract from the fa
