mccain during the campaign and obama right now and she is right, obama doesn't talk a whole lot to us one-on-one, and mccain did but it is a double-edged sword for mccain because of the one hand we like and as a person and he was great to talk to but he put his foot in the mouth so many times he gave a story every day that took the campaign off message and that is why in the end they ended up bottling him up which also hurt in a lot of ways. he wasn't putting his foot in his mouth saying things that went off message but he lost the unique character he was just another bottled up packaged politician by the end. >> questions from the audience? >> i think you all sort of touched on this already we talked in the class this morning what do you think the role of the outspoken cheney is, will that be the beginning of the pendulum turning the other way back towards maybe an imperial congress perhaps? >> more what? >> [inaudible] >> imperial? >> the round of interviews cheney has been doing and what affect this is likely to have come he is attempting to make the argument for the need for the president --

a hearing on the issue starts in about one hour with ken lewis. you can hear live on c-span rita. a real to track report says foreclosure filings fell in may. but they remain an elevated levels. it is the third month in a row that foreclosure filings exited 300,000. in a normal market would be less than 100,000 per month. senate republicans introduced legislation today to force the treasury department to divest its stakes in several industries by july 2010. under the proposal the federal government would be prohibited from taking new ownership stakes in private industry, forbid influencing management decisions, and be required to submit a plan on how will and its interest in fannie mae and freddie mac. senators john cornyn and spoon are expected to hold a news conference later. even though the use of charter flights does not violate senate ethics rules as long as paid for by the members office, some senators been more than others. office account records show that senators chuck schumer and john cornyn are the biggest spenders, but are not the only ones to use charter flights. in t

a huge emphasis is on passing a bill on health care. they know the economy will not be fully recovered so they need something to show americans that they've done something to say they've helped them. we've e helped give you health care. and i would argue that reid is lamenting not having the republicans that he needs to nufe bill because he needs them somewhat. they can move a lot of the bill without the help of republicans through the budget reconciliation process, which allows a simple majority vote, and not the 60 vote super majority. but there are parts of that bill that will be subjected to a 60 vote threshhold. so they're going to need at least one republican. and for health care to be sustainable over the years and not be rolled back by future republican administrations. that would be major embarrassment if they move a bill that doesn't last. so they do need republicans somewhat. >> and finally mike pence is a political leader. quick assessment, and what kind of future does he have? >> i think he has a trmeds future in the republ

. - come on. i'd rather not get into it. come on, pick a number between one and 10. well... i'm not sure you'll be in the top 10. i'm in the top 10, roger. >> hey there, welcome to another half hour of espnews. now available in high definition. along with jonathan coachman, i'm steve bunin, and a lot of baseball action going on we had usain bolt just run in the rain, and if you're a basketball fan, tonight, game 4 of the nba finals. >> the magic answered a lot of questions with the win on tuesday, but it took a lot to do it. can they continue to continue that good play in front of a raucous home crowd? the always pivotal game 4 in orlando. top of the hour, magic trying to even the series to 2 apiece. the lakers trying to put a strangle hold on the nba title. >> alonzo mourning said this about you. i think phil's just showing up, to tell you the truth. and kobe is doing all the work to make this team successful. what do you think of alonzo mourning's comments? >> that's a pretty good assessment for a guy that played 15 years or so in the nba. >> do you buy it? >> kobe's doing

there is not one child, not one worker, not one employer nor one taxpayer who can further bad the cost of doing nothing. i am confident that we will have the ability to respond to their needs and how like to thank speaker pelosi, majority leader where the restaurant democratic leadership and all of our caucus and the members of this congress for giving us the support and input that we needed to develop this uniquely american solution to finally bring quality affordable health care to our country. the next speaker will be henry waxman. >> thank you very much. i am henry waxman, chairman of the energy and commerce committee and i'm pleased to join with my colleagues and our respective committees and will have jurisdiction of this health-care matter in presenting a draft proposal from which we seek a further comment by the public and our colleagues as we fashioned the legislation. the draft is a very practical one and it is a uniquely american proposal. and builds on what works and fixes what needs to be fixed. first, we encourage the retention of insurance provided by employers which is

price: if a member voted no on one amendment and yes on another amendment and wanted the opportunity to have a separate vote on those two amendments, my understanding that the ruling of the chair and the rule prohibits a separate vote on those two amendments, is that correct? the speaker pro tempore: the chair does not respond to hypotheticals. the question is on engrossment and third reading. mr. price: madam speaker, further parliamentary inquiry. the speaker pro tempore: so many as are in favor say aye, mr. price: madam speaker, the parliamentary inquiry. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman will state his inquiry. mr. price: if i desired a vote on two separate amendments, is there a way under the rule for that to be accomplished? the speaker pro tempore: as the chair has stated, i will read the rule again. i will read the rule again. line 11, page 3, in case of sundry amendments reported from the committee the question of their adoption shall be put to the house engross and without intervening demand for division of the question. the question is on adoption of the amendment --

negotiations on climate change are also on the agenda.e very much welcome the hard work the united states has done in order to see to it that the necessary answers are found for this phenomenal climate change. we know that it is very much an uphill battle. we are familiar with that. and we are keeping a close eye on legislation that is passed. we need an ambitious program. we wto

this is the kind of cultural that's absolutely engorged on images, on piles, on engraved glasses, on wallpaper. you cannot do it without actually understanding the purchase and power of images of all kind, not just high art images. and then as the years went down and i mentioned that, i am very happily and gratefully toured in harvard. i came to think on the one hand, art history couldn't really be taught or consumed altogether without understanding the rest of the world that china produced a. i'm not somebody who believes you simply, picasso, rembrandt, leonardo altogether. they are what they are, but it is very important to understand the kind of humanist as it were, the kind of soil bed from which produced this particular work in that particular language. equally, it is impossible to history, especially history of the 20th and 21st history. any history from the printed image or maybe any history since the time bibles began to be eliminated without seeing images and aztecs images are sent as text images. that is how we are. we are late which animals but we are visual animals also.

it is certainly not strongly on the chinese side or on the american side. and in fact, i think it is in a way is probably causing them, us and the chinese ways of cooperating rather than using financial jujitsu against each other. if certainly that is the pattern that i seem to see in our relations with china. i was at the shangri-la of dialogue and had a long conversation with the chinese counterpart and most of that conversation was about mutual concern, not about checking the size of each other's biceps and then try to figure out who would win if we got in an arm wrestling contest. so i think in that particular -- in that particular case it's leading to sort of concentration on things we can do to get there. it's not to say the smart economists and government leaders on both sides are not trying to figure out how they can become less dependent and minimize some of those risks. it just seems the way it is playing out right now is it is forcing us to look at other things. let me then finish up by saying it has been a fast for months on the job as dni and a

>> rob: a lot of veterans. >> johnny: dukes has a bead on it and one down. >> rob: nice jump on thatvery difficult to get a jump on a ball sometimes when you see the swing and looks like it was hit very hard and all of a sudden it is about 20 feet behind 2nd base. toughest part of a reed for centerfielder or any outfielder. >> johnny: and he can fly with the best of them. willy taveras will step in. lannan delivers inside for ball one. >> rob: the thing about our clubhouse leaders, it wasn't just that. we all hung out together. it wasn't clicky at all. i'm not saying it is here. they are just a lot younger in the clubhouse. but if there was a barbecue, the whole team went. even the coaches and trainers. if we were going to have an adult beverage, 20 out of 25 guys went. some guys, they took too much of the game home. they would go home with a bat and sit there in front of a mirror and swing all night if they had an 0-4. nothing wrong with that. they are just trying to better themselves that way. it was a family. and i have said that for 2 months. when they become a family, they will

get it to him on time and on target. in the half court he has to do a better job, dwight howard, at attacking the double teams quicker. they're bringing double team sometimes from the talk, sometimes from the baseline. he's waiting too long. sometimes you have to attack them before they get their double team set. >> coach, nba fanls, you don't want to call this game a must win. some people say the magic need to win game number to. who are you picking in los angeles and why? >> i'm picking the lakers. because, again, just as much as orlando magic was a bad matchup for the cleveland cavaliers, the lakers are a bad matchup for them. they can go big, they can go small, phil jackson has a lot of options and versatility with this lineup. and the one thing that the lakers have that the magic don't have, their hunger. they're hungry for a championship. they lost in the finals last year. look at kobe's face in the last game. you know, again, i'm going with the lakers. >> we'll see if they can do it if the finals. at times during

eastern time here on c-span. >> this holiday weekend on "book tv." discover an unfamiliar side of our nation's first president with historian and author john ferling. join our 3 our conversation sunday on "in-depth." >> how is c-span funded? >> publicly funded. >> donations may be? >> government? >> the taxes? >> if public funding thing? >> helices been funded? 30 years ago, america's cable companies created sees that as a public service. a private business initiative, no government mandate, no government money. >> now today's white house briefing. >> i am never going to live that down. did you see the video on the white house website? i wish you could see the look on my face. >> [unintelligible] >> i think there was some editing. >> we want to start with honduras. as the u.s. been in contact with honduran military leaders? >> i know the state department officials have been in touch with the president. i do not know the extent of the contact with military officials. obviously, there is a special meeting of the oas scheduled for later on this afternoo

on the right footing. at a time when we really couldn't need it anymore as a nation and as a world, where the man for this kind of change and action is so acute and so urgent. and i think when you put those three things together, but i do believe we are at a historic moment and witnessing a historic presidency unfold. and as spencer said, those of us who work on it everyday are honored to be part of it, but that change won't be possible, it will be possible without its supporters, its allies, its thinkers, its advocates who aren't part of the administration stay engaged, state-supported and offering those suggestions, ideas and encouragement. so again, i think, you know, one thing we wondered from early on was what would happen to acs if there ever were a progressive president, would it remain relevant, would it remain and tactile. would it remain important. and seeing the crowd here tonight, the crowd at this convention, i'm so glad to see your answer is a resounding yes. and i hope it continues to be so
