the presiding officer: the senator from new hampshire. mr. gregg: mr.ate in a sense that is understandable because there is so much technical -- so much of a technical aspect to the bill, but let's start with the purpose, what i believe our purposes should be. our purpose would be, one, to do as much as we can to build a regulatory regime which will reduce the potential for another event, the type of which we had in the end of 2008 where we had a massive breakdown in the system, financial system of this country, and as a result of huge systemic risks being built into the system which wasn't properly regulated and certainly was not handled correctly by either the financial institutions or by the congress. congress maintains a fairly significant responsibility for the meltdown that occurred at the end of 2008 for the policies that we had running up to that period in the area of housing. that should be our first goal. prospectively, trying to reduce systemic risk as much as possible in the system through putting in place policies which will do that and acc

new hampshire. i know someone who feels the most passionate about these and a number of other issues, my colleague, the senator from vermont. senator, you want to speak on this issue. mr. sanders: thank you very much. i think most americans understand that in the senate and government in general honest people have honest differences of opinion, be and you debate the issues. you represent your constituencies. you take a vote and sometimes you win and sometimes you lose. but i think there is a growing anger and frustration in this country when a lot of what takes place here on the floor has nothing to do with an honest debate on the issues, but simply obstructionism and obstructionism and obstructionism. the american people, i think, have a hard time understanding when you have well-qualified nominees for judicial positions, when some of these nominees have gotten out of committee with unanimous or almost unanimous support, and yet it takes month after month after month to get these nominees approved

we have this incident up in new hampshire, this incident in ft. lauderdale, what looks to be a middle-class crowd. is this anger endemic or isolated areas or right wing finding another opportunity to complain about a liberal president? >> there is a fringe that is very angry. we don't know how big until election day in november. that's what democrats are worried about. in the meantime, what i think is very noticeable about this is if you read the criminal complaint about charles allen wilson, the man who threatened patty murray, we repeats republican talking points. this bill is socialism, it's a baby killer and going to have end of life classes. his version of death panels. we repeats that. on the phone calls when he's threatening to kill her or have someone else kill her. what we see from the republican leadership, what they're saying, they can make their arguments on policy grounds, it's really fueling the fires out there. when you have republicans having -- we talked about this the other day -- having protest rallies on the hill that they spon

in iowa, kansa knews, new hampshire. he had far greater access to real people and engaged in dialogues with them to a far greater extent than his colleagues did. it informed his ability to communicate their needs and -- into legislation when he went back to washington. that was the strength he had that was an advantage. my experience travelling with him in campaigning was that, unlike a lot of powerful politicians in the position he was in, she did not differentiate between the billionaires' and the bottle washers. i think he more closely identified with the ball washers. he would make a point of going to the kitchen at the back of the house to meet the working people -- the bottle washers. that instinct for him to engage with the common man was one of his greatest strengths when it came to transiting that to legislation and policy. >> didn't the senate elevator operators take a vote on who was the most popular senator? >> yes. >> and she won that -- he won that. >> when he made a decision to leave the senate, he made an

on this book tour yugo 19 hour 20 states including district of columbia and the states include new hampshire obviously iowa, missouri so people will say it looks like you are on a campaign is "no apology" and the one mine in the book that is so critical of president obama that given all foreign policy issues that this president seeks to present himself has some hop all transcending of america and american values and interest as opposed to being an advocate for american values and american interests. that would almost seem to be a campaign slogan. [laughter] >> host: the idea is that you believe we need an american president who stands for america and you do not see that in this president obama who seeks to transcend greater or larger than america? >> host: any time the president travels the world and is critical of the united states it will lead to the kinds of stories that came out of the british press saying he has been more critical of his own country on foreign soil than any other president of history that gives a real oppression he thinks he is above america and his history or what he n

we had a report which is the university of new hampshire which happens to be my mama, i did have a disturbing note. and it says that 55% of income eligible rural households with children did not participate in the national school lunch program. can you identify any barriers to that? >> i'm not somebody with that community, but i know that one of the carriers is that they're, you know, very often is a social stigma related to the application. and so more funding to be able to have technology make applications, online and easier to access and reduce that statement that students might have regarding making meals available to them would be helpful. but i think any community, where there is a high poverty area, the community of eligible type of program, or community eligibility would be very helpful. because in that case then students wouldn't have to fill out an application, and that would reduce the cost of the application process to the school district. >> that clearly has to be addressed. and mr. chairman, i would ask we submit a copy of the report for the committee. >> no objection. what? >>

some of her field operatives that were not just massachusetts but also in new hampshire are now as i understand it working for the democratic nominee there. they probably should've been there a little sooner, and i think most people are watching, their involvement is being done at the last minute very quickly and may be too little, too late, if i meet use a clichÉ on c-span. >> steve under public republican like to go ahead than what can you talk a little bit about mitt romney, his public image and private performance and also his relationship with both john mccain and mike huckabee. thanks. >> the book, we spend for a variety of reasons we did not spend nearly as much some other public and raise because it lacked a lot of the drama of the democratic race. however, there is some interesting mature. to the caller specific question, i think there is one very striking example of the disparity between public image and private reality indicates it wrong of wrong me which is romney's public image if anything was defined as a competent kind of ceo character. he was an arch capital. in addit

on the outer loop the volume is light but we have an accident to start the morning off near the new hampshiret. watch for that. a little volume here at university. moving to downtown. we have the nuclear security summit in place. roads around the convention center will be closed. we will have more on this throughout the show. 395 northbound, all clear. smooth sailing on to 395 making your way to the 14th street bridge. >> those traffic warnings regarding the nuclear security summit are apparently working. despite the road closures the downtown commute for a lot of dc workers was remarkably easy yesterday. bruce leshan has more on the resultatively smooth commute. it's tough to complain about the summit's main goal, keeping nukes away from terrorists. so the only real protesters were rallies against the arrival of the chinese president and chinese regression of the religious group fa listen gong and the people of tibet. >> to get respect to you have to earn it. >> reporter: leaders from nearly 50 countries are meeting at the convention center and authorities are taking extraordinary steps to p

the presiding officer: the senator from new hampshire. mrs. shaheen: thank you, madam president. i rise today to join so many of my colleagues in urging that we pass critical extensions of federal unemployment benefits, the cobra health insurance subsidy, flood insurance and other vital programs that expired at the end of march. now, i want to applaud my colleagues on the other side of the aisle who, despite opposition from their leadership, have joined us in moving this legislation forward. but despite the progress that we seem to be making, these extensions have been held up too frequently for too long and the american people deserve better. sadly, twice this year, individual senators have blocked extensions of federal unemployment benefits right as the programs were about to expire. those actions have put struggling families at risk and already this month, over 200,000 americans have lost their benefits and another 30,000 lose their benefits every day until we pass an extension. and what's of particular concern is that we've continued to deal with filibusters and delays and ob

in particular in iowa, texas, new hampshire. i think through those meetings he had access to far greater access to real people and engaged in dialogue with them to a far greater extent than his colleagues did, which in turn informed his ability to communicate their needs into legislation when he went back to washington. so i think i was a particular strength he had that was probably a significant advantage for him. as an extent of that, my experience was traveling with and campaigning with that again i think i might go out of powerful petitions and churn politicians come he didn't differentiate between the billionaires and the bottle washers in my experience. so it's a matter of fact, i think you are closely identified with the bottle washers and allow most every case, when we were in a particular location he would make a point of going to the kitchen or behind in the back of the house to meet people, the working people. so again i think that urge them not instinct for him to engage with the common man was one of his greatest st

we were going that day to his last town meeting, which was peterborough in new hampshire. it was maybe an hour and 15 minutes away, so, you know -- you know,he couldn't run to the back of the bus, he couldn't run off the bus. th -- i don't know any other politician in this country who is capable of doing that or who would consider doing that. c-span: why didn't he win, then? >> guest: alas, because spin works, an -- and i think sometimes that john mccain's straight talk got him into trouble. in fact -- and -- and bush -- the bush campaign were very adept at spinning. in fact, they were able to spin the reason that mccain got such good press was because all the reporters, you know, like, liked him personally and didn't like george bush personally, so they turned it against the media when, in fact, he got such good press because he was so good, and he was so honest and he was so forthright and he -- and he -- and he gave out a lot of good material. c-span: how many years have you now worked for cnn? >> guest: five and a half. came in february, 1996, as co-host of "crossfire.

that's rhode island, that's new hampshire, that's connecticut, that's. new hampshire. this is the first time we saw this incredible ground water as well as surface water. and we are a community of rivers and mill villages. the blackstone river, where the american industrial revolution began. the pa tax sent river -- patuxent river, they all were above flood stage. the patuxent river, on march 15, the river crested at a record high of 15 feet. remarkable. neighbors along the bank were flooded as businesses and homes were evacuated. i toured those neighborhoods later in the week and saw the damage. again, along with senator whitehouse, we worked to support a major disaster declaration which was promptly granted. the people of rhode island appreciate the president, president obama, signing very quickly a declaration of a presidential disaster not only for the individuals, but also for the public entities, the cities and towns. this is something that he did with great speed and great efficiency, and i thank him personally. actually there was an initial flooding around marc

understand it you you are going to 19 or 20 states and the district of columbia and the states include new hampshire, obviously iowa, missouri so people are going to say it looks like you are on a campaign tour. the one line in the book that is so critical of president obama is, given all the foreign policies we have touched on, the this president seeks to present himself as somehow transcending of america and american values and american interests as opposed to being an advocate for american values and american interest. that would seem to be almost like a campaign slogan. you would have to reduce it in size, but the ideas that you believe we need an american president who stands for america and you do not see that in as president obama who seeks to transcend, to be greater or larger than america. >> guest: anytime the president of the united united s travels the world and is critical of the united states, that it is going to lead to the kinds of stories that came out of the british press saying this president has been more critical of his home country on home soil than any american president in hi
