chairman paul, republican of -- what was your reaction to paul ryan's response?st: i agree that it is important for both parties to work together to try to tackle the deficit and debt. that is what the president said last night. he is serious about getting together with members of congress on both sides of the aisle to do exactly that. i was disappointed that paul ryan spent a fair amount of time about -- spent a fair amount of time talking about repealing the health care bill. i don't think people want to start from scratch. people understand the important consumer and patient protections that are in that bill. for example, your kids cannot be denied health insurance because they have diabetes or asthma. you can keep your kids on your policy until the age of 26. small businesses are getting tax credits. i do not think people want to wipe out all that stuff. we recognize that we need to make the changes and adjustments as we move along. this preoccupation with throwing out the whole thing -- i think that takes us in the wrong direction. as the non-partisan an ind

what john paul did was very courageous. probably the most important thing of that john paul did was to go to synagogue. the visit of the synagogue was the most important theological statement in 2,000 years. he said to the christian world that christianity with judy and some which used to be taught, with a covenant with abraham not superseded. judy is of a viable religion, to participate and bear witness to the vitality of the jewish life. that symbolically, even the illogically, was very important and he talked about the jews being the older brother and anti-semitism being a san. his visit to jerusalem going to the wall, apologizing for the history of teaching of contempt. i will share with you insight into sensitivity -- i know a family in rome that lived in rome several hundred years and one day a phone call was received that the pope wants to see them and went to see the pope. the pope said i understand you are a close friend. test childhood friend -- i decided the pope said i would like to visit the synagogue. i don't

>>> pope john paul ii moved closer to sainthood today. vatican announced that the late pontiff will be beatified on may 1st. it's a milestone that requires proof of a miracle. so, how do you do that? here's miguel marquez. >> reporter: sister marie simon-pierre experienced the miracle that put pope john paul ii on the road to becoming a saint. "i was diagnosed with parkinson's disease in 2001," she says. "the shaking made it difficult to walk, drive, even to write." two months after john paul ii died, sister marie prayed to him. he too suffered from the disease. and then, she says, it happened. "a voice inside my head told me to grab a pen and write," she says. "i was amazed that i could write so clearly. when i got up in the morning, i felt transformed." sister marie prayed that pope john paul intercede in her life. the church now believes he did proving both god's existence and that john paul is in heaven. but proving a miracle, no easy task. a dedicated team of church officials, theologians and doctors. most cases are medical. and stud

paul as well.en gop mavericks like john mccain have turned right to insulate themselves from purges, endorsing positions they might secretly detest and refusing to compromise with democrats for fear of being named republican in name only. in short, as the republican party became -- it became more powerful, and as it became more powerful, it became more extreme. the democratic wins of 2006 and 2008 had much to do with unhappiness over the iraq war, the collapsing economy and republican political scandals. when the wheel of american politics turns again, the most conservative and paranoid-prone gop in recent history may welcome to power with a popular mandate to take back the country. and, unfortunately, i think we may be ability to see that next year. the fact of the matter that right-wing persecution mythology is compelling to americans as has been repeated by falwell, buchanan, limbaugh, o'reilly, beck and palin to name a few. it has seduced millions to embracing right-wing ideology by convincing
