obama's responsible move. the two leaders meet in new york at the u.n. general assembly next week and mr. obama is hoping mr. medvedev will back stronger sanctions on iran to stop its nuclear program. but in this three-dimensional, diplomatic chess game, medvedev's praise could backfire for obama, creating the impression he's caving in to the russian pressure. though russia might benefit from mr. obama's decision, a senior administration official claims that potential benefit was not factored into this decision. the vice chairman of the joint chiefs agrees and says this decision was driven by cost savings and being able to have a more nimble reaction to the real threat of short and medium-range missiles. lou? >> thank you very much. >>> well, president obama's call to kill the missile shield program could give more ammunition to his critics who say he has become far too friendly with the wrong people. just last week the obama administration agreed to talks with iran and north korea. earlier this year president obama very publicly shook hands with the ant

president obama today told the u.n. general assembly here that america is seeking new engamement with the world, to find a global response to global challenges. senior white house correspondent major garrett reports on a speech that was heavy on criticism, including some of the united states. >> president obama's first speech to the united nations general assembly openly acknowledged past grievances against the bush white house >> but added the days of reflective anti-americannism in the world body must end. >> after all, it is easy to walk up to this podium and point fingers and stoke divisions. anybody can do that. responsibility and leadership in the 21st century demand more. >> to a degree, mr. obama legitimized anti-bush sentiments. >> part of this was due to opposition to specific policies, and a belief that on certain critical issues america had acted unilaterally without regard for the interests are of others. >> then mr. obama appealed for new diplomatic cooperation based on his moves to ban torture, reduce gre

i vot for obama. the nature of power attracts those who should not have it. >> guest: dual cizenship of rahm emanuel? it doesn't bother m >> host: the next call is john from sumpter south carolina. good morning. >> caller: good morning, good morning,ood morning. c-span i think you need to do a little better job. everybody opinions and this young ladyeeds to be on booktv, not c-span. let me make my comments. if she is so worried about this and worried about that, why the book? stating that hey, health care and all that other good sff, put it out and let the people vote on it instead going through all of these changes. if you don't like somebody that has been in office all these years and doing all this gre stuff, what the people vote on term limits. you are sitting there going on and on. put me on, let me voice my opinion. >> host: you are on right no and we appreciate it. did you have a question? >> caller: yes, that was it. >> host: john, thank you. >> guest: call i will say is i'm really glad after

it, obama is van jones. obama is acorn. >> oh, no. >> hang on. you guys are done playing his tithes to acorn. these ties to obama and acorn are deep and long standing. not just representing themes as a lawyer. he partnered with him in 1982 for vote project in chicago. became an acorn trainer. >> not true. >> acorn fanned out for his campaigns in 1996 and 2000 in the state of illinois. >> absolutely. >> last year as well. also remember that during the presidential campaign last year he told acorn point blank, you will have, quote, a seat at the table in my administration. so let's not down play the fact. bill: he likes them. >> very proud of being a community organizer. that was acorn. bill: people can make up their own minds at home whether obama and acorn have an association that's worth -- smart enough to do that. but the big story, colmes, is that the right wing media, the conservative media in this country has found a way to marginalize the president of the united states. >> they need to be called out on

he is obama's guy.y fired his predecessor, general mckiernen because they didn't think he was doing a good job, so they brought in mcchrystal. what is mcchrystal's backimrowndz? mcchrystal was the ultimate search and destroy guy in iraq. bret: special operations. >> special operations. you have your troops, send them out on missions every day and bring them back into the post in the evening. it is the opposite of counterinsurgency, but counterinsurgency is not mcchrystal's thing. it was search and destroy, which was failing in iraq. then the policy was changed and they brought in counterinsurgency to protect the population. it worked. mcchrystal, in particular, to come now and say the solution here is a counterinsurgency strategy that is bigger and stronger than the one that the president had decided on back in march is quite a change for mcchrystal to believe that, it means that -- i mean, i think that just adds so much emphasis and credibility to his request. bret: how long does it take before this st

president obama falling quickly. obama faces incredible charges.joining us from new haven connecticut. brit hume. are you surprised now the president is below 50% 59. are you surprised that they are falling so fast and continue to fall? >>. no i'm really not surprised, bill, for this reason. the president is try trying to enact a set of left of center policies in a right of center country. and the country will overlook that and forgive that if the results that the president is getting from whatever his policies are are seen as good. the issue the public most cares about is the economy. the policies the president has put in place perhaps they have not had time to take effect. they have not amill rated the situation. the unemployment rate continues to rise. this is what they said in poll after poll and continue to say top priority. he appears at the public to be working on another set of priorities. this kind of political difficulty is not surprising. bill: but in the economy, you don't see what -- too many people screaming and yelling about it becau

obama, why?> insurance companies need our support because they keep our selfish priorities in check when we can't. >> please, doctor, my daughter's dying! she needs medication! >> think about somebody else for once. >> if my kid falls off his bike and breaks his leg, he should have to pay that money out of pocket, out of his allowance. >> how else is he going to learn not to fall off that bike? >> insurance companies are detailed oriented enough to deny claims for things like typos. if you spell something wrong, do you really deserve surgery? i don't think so. >> 80% of the american public support the public plan because it would give quality care people could actually afford. >> but when you think about it, who's really supporting it, other than 80% of the american people? >> and the public option would make insurance companies lower than prices and give better service in order to compete. >> what's so american about competition? >> health insurance companies are huge. >> they need to make big p

barack obama owns this cabinet of tax cheats, crooks and cronies. it is his and his alone, judge him by the company he keeps. >> guest: yeah, that's exactly right. i have to thank david brooks for helping inspire this book. the introduction to culture of corruption opens up with a column that he had written not long after the election day and to sort of foretell this clique of achietrons he called them and how phenomenally he was pressed that obama had brought with him the best of the washington insiders. he praised their ivy league pedigrees and really this is sort of a repeat of, you know, this idea that somehow these smarty pants were going to come in and change washington. well, it didn't take long before the obama administration sabused us of that notion in a very big way. and i go through all of the botched nominations and then a lot of the nominationshat actually went through barely by the skin of their teeth. obviously tim geithner comes to mie.d everybody knows about him, but there are many, manythers that i document, and i think one of the

the american taxpayers are the jews for obama's oven. chairman mau obama. i can make the same argument unfair as yours if i were to take the new black panther party and say look at these guys, look at their signs, their activities their rhetoric. look at louis farrakhan and then apply that to the whole african-american community. that would be wrong and it would be -- look, you are a law professor. >> bill, that's outrageous. bill: you could make the point. >> you have american senators that are members on the council for conservative citizens, former citizens that were members of the ku klux klan. we have a whole right wing media base starting with -- bill: you teach law. the law is based on logic. i don't see the logic in saying that attacks on barack obama, ok, all of them, i think the kook minority, you know, 10%, of the kooks, you know, do give the impression of racism. they probably are racist. that's not the bulk of what is going on. it's not the bulk of what's going on. >> bill, listen, i can't believe that you admitted that 10% of the right wing ba

>> michelle obama, it was quoted yesterday that michelle obama. it is from -- it may have been the huffington post, i'm not sure. but it was a lefty blog that said michelle obama was instrumental in getting him. and jarrett absolutely was. bill: jarrett was. we don't know about michelle obama. >> they vacationed together. bill: so your hypothesis, big word but i feel can you handle it. >> i can't spell it. bill: he is -- the president is a closet marxist? how far are you taking this? >> >> i don't know yet, bill. bill: but you are on the trail. >> i think americans need to ask themselves the question. bill, you're president of the united states. would you have a man who was a self-avowed communist? bill: no, i wouldn't. >> who said i would rather lose the radical pose for the ends. bill: here is what did it for me. i don't care about the dopey far left politics. when he signed that petition about 9/11. that eliminates him from public service. bill: i don't understand that america, when did we stop caring about communism? >> because communism is no

obama is a challenge. >> barack obama is not easy to do jokes about. he doesn't give you a lot to go on. this is why god gave us joe biden. [laughter] chris: but along with obama's drop in the polls, he's looking more vulnerable to the comics. most of them are lefties of course and so they're starting to see -- starting to see them zing obama for being too cautious. too prudent. here's dana carvey on "the tonight show." >> i'm worried about, you know, that the economy kind of had a heart attack but barack still wants to work on the knee. "we are going to fix ts knee." should we do c.p.r.? we can do c.p.r. when it's efficient and cost effective. but right now, we're going to work on the meniscus. chris: that's really good. and as for john stewart he's looking back, not so fondly at the way obama's handled health care strategy. >> i'm confident that both the house and the senate are going to produce a bill before the august recess. >> before the august recess? you are adorable. the simple naivete of a new president as pure as the driven snow. this presid

bill: i brought up that obama had some acorn ties, but i did not hammer obama. said that you would have hung around with them, too, if they were getting the vote out and on your team. they would do that if they did not know that acorn is corrupt, and you have to assume innocence in this country, but once you get it away from tax dollars, corruption, which everyone agrees is wrong, he even barney frank before you, and even barney frank, all right -- is wrong, even barney frank before you, even barney frank, and i had to drag it out of him, but, yes, the spirit of what those two did, the civilian journalists did, he admires them, and i really had to drag it out of him, but once you get into it is the fault of the democrats or republicans, then, wham, it goes. >> and then is guilt by association. there are five points that the american people want out of washington. number one, first and foremost, accountability. they want people to say what they mean and mean what they say. number two, respect, which is why these people are canceling the town meetings are making t

obama is a bigger superstar than him. this is an electorate of 100 plus members of the international olympic committee. when you are lobbying someone who knows what will turn them on in the end. i talked to mayor daley about this. they are happy mrs. obama is leading the delegation. >> just when you thought you would have an advantage with oprah because she is a big advocate, you have the obamas. an incredible combination of people out of chicago rallying for their hometown. what do we know about where the process stands right now? is chicago the front-runner? i know they have elaborate plans, close to the president's home. >> reporter: he likes to say it is a few blocks from where he lives. a lot of these venues will be in chicago all over the place which they think is a selling point so you don't have to go miles away. right now i think there is no absolute clear cut front-runner heads and shoulders above. one of the things the president is doing even if he isn't going is making phone calls to people from various countr

>> these people are who obama is.hose of us who tried to raise this before the election and say look -- sean: oh, yeah, i was abused too. >> but we knew nothing about him except his associations. >> and that's the point. a lot of times people tried to warn everybody you do not know what you're getting. this is a jack in the box surprise and now we're just discovering what's coming out. >> we know barack obama was a community organizers. these are the kinds of people you meet when you're a community organizers. i've harped on this so many times. we're the people that actually create jobs and you got these nut cases telling businessmen how to run their businesses. they've never melt a payroll or -- sean: are all of you surprised as i am that he knows their background, the information we gathered for this special tonight is available on google now. in their old books. >> you can google it and find out sean: that's the point. not like i had to do deep investigative reporting. >> von -- van jones was not alger hiss. he was

president obama did not stay in the hall to hear it. afterwards, some of the delegates and visiting heads of state gave their reaction to what they heard from the u.s. president. tono eitel, the former german ambassador to the u.n. >> i think he is right there too, of course. it's not that everybody else is perfect and it's just the u.s. who have to-- i don't know-- change or improve. no, no. we all have. there is no doubt. >> reporter: but venezuelan president hugo chavez had a different reaction saying he saw two obamas. >> ( translated ): there is the obama of his speech of today. and it was an excellent speech and that is the obama we applaud. but there's another reality. >> reporter: and russian president dmitri medvedev had his own informal, reaction. >> good speech, excellent. >> reporter: late in the day, president obama met with medvedev. aides said the number one topic was forging a common approach on dealing with iran's nuclear program. >> our task is to allow iran to speech, and the foreign minister replied with a smirk, "di

that's incorrect. >> you look at barack obama and you say barack obama doesn't have a bill. why was barack obama slamming this down the american people's throughout throats saying you have to pass it by august. if you're now telling me that he does not have a bill? >> that's a very good question. >> wait a second. that's what i said. i didn't say he didn't have a bill. >> you said you didn't hear his option yet. >> wait a second, wait a second, wait a second. i said what the president has not done is draw a line in the sand over what the contents of the reform proposal he will insist on will conclude. that's what he has to do tomorrow. that's silly to say he doesn't have a plan. >> the president said to "men's health" he was going to put on the table a tax on soda to pay for health care. is that his best idea? >> obviously that's one of many ideas, ben, but if you want to talk about the american diet and why we're all so fat, we have to -- wait a second. you asked me a question. one of the things we have to look at is comprehensive ways of addressing other american health is

michelle obama will be taking up the issue of health care reform. the first lady will be holding an event tomorrow talking to women and families about the health care system. right now, she is focusing on healthy eating, because mrs. obama say tending the opening of a farmer a's market near the white house at this moment. david trucker, a staff reporter at role call. good afternoon to you, david. >> good afternoon. >> let's talk about the first lady's role in all of this suspect the first time we have heard the first lady talking health care. will she be talking about the details in the bill or just the need for reform? >> yeah, i expect her to just talk about the need for reform. first ladies don't usually get into the weeds on this stuff, notwithstanding hillary clinton's involvement when she was first lady back in the '9. not that michelle obama isn't very capable but i think they are specifically sending her thought for the pr advantage. she thinks that she brings this effort. i think that is what you can expect to see for her. >> given that it

all of a sudden candidate obama was standing in for president obama. he was fiery, he was -- looked in a good mood but sort of stern and seemed to just want to -- want to light the supporters, you know, on fire. get them fired up. get them behind him rallying almost in campaign mode. because he, himself, was frustrated by how this school speech was treated. the white house had this attitude, look, they were blowing it off. last week robert gibbs referred to it as this is the silly season trying to be dismissive of it. not any more. these guys want to engage directly on some of this stuff. go ahead and take some of these folks on. it may be a fringe in their mind starting these stories but the problem they've got is when you've got 20% to 25% of america, eventually that's the message they get is from that fringe. then they feel like they've got to beat this back because they can't -- they can't be having 20% to 25% of the population not getting their side of the story at all. >> jonathan, before you jump in on what chuck was just telling us, let's liste

ahead of president obama's speech, the n.e.a. wrote "we applaud president obama for delivering this message to students." we don't know how much today's events cost taxpayers. if you haven't been counting the number of speeches president obama has delivered, cbs's mark knoller has. today's address was the 263rd speech or set of remarks delivered by president obama since he took office only 231 days ago. that's 32 more speeches than days he served. as brit mentioned earlier, president obama has delivered 28 speeches specifically on the issue of healthcare, but if you include all remarks in which he mentioned healthcare reform, that number jumps to 121. meanwhile, former top campaign advisor for the president says he wants a little less talk and a lot more action from his old boss. former deputy campaign manager steve hildebrand tells the politico "i am one of the millions of frustrated americans who want to see washington do more than it's doing now. i'm one of the many americans who are losing patience." by far the most senior me

>> it's obama's america, is it not? obama's america, white kids getting beat up on school buses now. you put your kids on a school bus, you expect safety but in obama's america, the white kids now get beat up with the black kids cheering, right on, right on, right on. chris: jimmy carter is talking. let's listen. >> i think an overwhelming portion of the intensely demonstrated animosity toward president barack obama is based on the fact that he is a black man, that he's african-american. chris: this public thought there was a racial element in the obama protest conflicts with president obama's own position. he doesn't like to dwell on it. >> there are some people who ill think through the prism of race when it comes to evaluating me and my candidacy, absolutely. sometimes they vote for me for that reason, sometimes they vote against me for that reason. i'm sure it was true during the campaign and i'm sure it's true now. but i think you actually put your finger on what this argument is really about and it's an argument t

president obama is in charge. it and he obviously didn't have the right plan to do it before he created this lofty goal of finishing everything in a year. >> i'm going to tell you that our pentagon correspondent will me earlier in the broadcast, he thought it would be a good eight, nine months before it could actually close. which far exceeds the self-imposed deadline. why put a time line out there to begin with? was it making good on a campaign promise? was there pressure on the administration? what? >> well, they probably shouldn't have put the deadline. that seem to be a tactical mistake at this point. we have to realize that it is actually not at all important. it is the obama administration is doing many things wrong. this is not one of them. so they missed a deadline by a little bit. as long as they close the prison and they find a place to put them, i have no problems. my real problem is that when we get to figuring out where we'll try these guys, because we're supposed to bring them to justice, then everyb

post obama speech reaction. here is what was said on bs abc nightline last night. >> i think it was the most emotional i have ever seen president obama in a major speech. his anger at the tone and tactics of his opponents was very palpable tonight. and he even seemed to get caught up in the emotion of the moment towards the end of the speech. bill: joining us now from d.c. is abc news chief washington correspondent george stephanopoulos host of "this week" on sunday. >> hey, bill. bill: why would obama be angry with people who oppose his vision because, number one, he can't explain it be, has not explained it still specifically and, number two there are at love points where people say we don't want government running this it might bankrupt the country why would he be mad? >> he is mad about some of the illegitimate criticisms that have been made and he addressed them in the middle of the speech when he took on the claims of death panels and whether his plan would serve illegal immigrants and whether it would req
