there will be some pushbacks from civil libertarians, and i'm glad they're speaking out. but i think this is a justifiable -- >> let's see if we can bring this to life. president reagan in 1981 issued an executive order 123333, otherwise known as the assassination ban. here's the language of the law of the land. no person employed by or acting on behalf of the united states government shall engage in or conspire to engage in assassination. no agency of the intelligence community shall participate in or request any person to undertake activities forbidden by this order. question, was it legal, i ask you, liz, for president obama to order the assassination of an american citizen? >> i think the white house would tell you that they derived their legal authority for any operation like this from what congress passed in the wake of 9/11, authorizing the united states to defend itself against the al-qaeda network. and so they think they have plenty of legal cover for this type of operation, and i think if you look at where the american public stands at large, i don't think there

when you see gdp positive or jobs numbers positive, you say there isn't a recession and you get pushback. time will tell. >> harvard professor, chief economist for international monetary fund. you've been on the show before. your point of disagreement, you say a lot of people feel the recession never ended. now, we are four years away from the official start of this recession. it started in december of 2007. we're certainly three years into the worst of it. where do you think this ends? >> well, i think we may be going very slowly for a long, long time. he's right. it could get worse before it gets better. it was a pretty mediocre jobs report. it's hard to distinguish this from whether we are or not already in a recession. >> all right. i want to take this to some of the frustration people are feeling. the occupy wall street protests are going on three weeks now and spreading to other cities. unfocused as they may be, the movement even got the attention of the president. >> you're still seeing some of the same folks who acted irresponsibly trying to fight efforts to crack down on abusive

there was a lot of pushback at the beginning. following through that and extending the time to february is really great. i saw judy hear from the coalition of san francisco neighborhoods and groups. they all left early so i imagine there were here for this. maybe by then, we can work out something. i want to thank you for your work on this. i was glad to see that dph is here. and the application of the healthy development measurement tool. it is a great tool that the city has and i think it is underutilized. if we do not apply to as much -- to enough of our projects. i'm glad you guys are weighing in on this element. i really want to thank you for that and for being here. good work so far. thank you. >> commissioners, you are at general public comment. president olague: is there any general public comment? seeing none, general public comment is closed and the meeting is adjourned. oh, my! haa ha ha! ha hha ha! [snortg] so are you going out tonight? i can't. my parents say i have to be home right after work. ugh. that's so gay. to

my pushback on it is, and i repeating myself, was no policy for what is the minimum standard. there is no policy for how we find livability in higher density housing. this design does not meet the expectations. i believed that we are setting a precedent that this building has to be designed to a higher standard, particularly when there are deficiencies which, i think, have not been fully guided -- vetted. i am disappointed to hear that the applicant talked with dbi only two of the zoning administrator tell us that he is not had a formal conversation. mr. gardner is experience in buildings. whether or not he is experienced in retro and adaptive reuse, i do not know. i say -- i see a number of inefficiencies. i am not ready to approve this design, because it sets a standard which we are proving for 320 square feet. with the admission that the loft cannot even be slashed on. that is a deceitful presentation. i do not believe we can sit here and say that all units, because the ceiling height is not met, how you sleep is an altogether different matter. folded furniture which you pu

on south van ness, particularly in light of the fact that there is so much strong and reasonable pushback providing the school hours. i think that is something we need to support. i think we need to stick and stand with that as an attempt for children not being dropped off by cars as it used to be traditionally that way. the second point is, i believe that the former presidential large building design, this building does some ingenious things. i am very happy about them. cutting the courtyards and matching them the way it does is not only interesting, but it creates exceptionally good units and allows us to savor the open space and exposure for dwelling units. where i had a little bit of a hard time was that the building and its overall appearance is somewhat jarring. i have to be honest with you, the package of was submitted to the commissioners falls far short of some of the drawings you showed and some of the arguments you made in explanation to your building. there is no background on explaining the thinking in the package and some of your mapping ideas that you brought forward, inclu

since he got into the race is he's a job creator and that's going to inspire some criticism and pushbackm the other candidates and there's going to be a lot of looking into the record in texas and some things he's going to have to explain and that's going to be one of his strong points. >> can he dodge the debates, kim or is that going to hurt his campaign if he does? >> i don't know if he can totally dodge them. he made a good point. he pointed out what everybody feels, the problem with a lot of the debates, the only thing you can do is land punches on your opponent not where people can discuss big ideas. the candidates, well, i mean, the voters want to see the candidates out there. the question, there isn't some better forum in some of these debates and thousands coming up still. >> jason, quickly. >> i don't think he can dodge them. if he were the front runner, had a big lead maybe, but he'd be doing this from a position of weakness and everyone knows he's weak in the debate. people want to see him articulate. if he can't handle the republicans how is he going to handle obama in the e

and at what point might you expect to see some sort of pushback from consumers? >> well, we're very sensitive to that, some of our pricing actions we have had to price to recover the input costs, but we're executed the pricing in a number of different ways. in some case we've reduced package sizes. in some cases we have been able to reformulate our products. all of which is designed to ensure that we're providing adequate value to consumers when we have to raise the prices. >> we keep hearing about the possibility of a double-dip recession. is craft noticing anything in regards to what people are buying or how much they're buying? >> it's hard to say whether or not we're headed into a recession. i know that consumers around the world are struggling, so our focus has been to ensure that our products are offering adequate value at a time when they are strapped. we certainly see the impact in a number of our product categories, particularly those that are perhaps a little more discretionary. >> ms. rosenfeld, thank you so much for joining us. >> thank you. >> it was

after pushback from the food industry, government regulators tell congress they don't think cartoon characters should be removed from boxes of sugary cereal and other foods with high fat, sodium and sugar content. regulators say food marketing aimed at kids needs to be studied more before any rules are made. >> okay, this is either good fuss or it's bad news. i guess depending on whether you like hearing from your boss. scott mcgrew says blackberry e-mail back up and running. >> i just got off a conference call with one of research in motion's two ceos. he says service is back to normal across north america. we asked whether will would be some sort of make good for customers whose e-mail failed yesterday. he said there would be but he hasn't figured out what yet. he's too busy fixing the network and baby apologizing. trenchman dominique strauss-kahn has once again been exonerated of rape. the paid in manhattan accused him of rape. now a french court says a french woman's accusations against khan won't be pursued either. they have dropped the case. >>> foreclosures have hit an all-time high in

now will is already some pushback. for example, the head of the prostate cancer foundation, a patient group, calls the new recommendation "a terrible mistake." the american neurological association says they are still working on their response. to help me sort it out for you, i'm with dr. christopher lega i legathitis. what will you tell your patients now if anything different based on what's just happened? >> i think first of all, i haven't received the official report or had the chance to review it in detail. but based on the availability information, the dilemma that we discussed in the clinic every day is actually reflected in this decision which suggests that there is harm and purely focused on the benefits of detecting cancer ignores the fact that many patients are exposed to the risk of overtreatment and its complications. i think the most accurate figure that exists on this is approximately 44 interventions need to be made in order for one patient to be saved. >> one thing besides getting a static number, a one

the president's economic plan now getting pushback if some prominent pro-business democrats like ted robert johnson. >> you don't get people to like you by attacking them or demeaning their success. i grew up in a family of 10 kids, first one to go to college and i've earned my success. i've earned my right to fly private for i choose to do so. and by attacking me is not going to convince me that i should take a bigger hit because i happen to be wealthy. >> reporter: johnson added that warring parties and people is not a strategy for success. melanie alnwick, fox 5 news. >>> herman cain criticizing fellow candidate rick perry for not asking sooner in removing a racially insensitive name from a rock outside a texas hunting camp. the perry campaign said perry's father painted the rock to erase the road. >> the name of the place was called head and that is very insensitive. i think it shows a lack of sensitivity for a long time of not taking that word off that rock and renaming the place. it is just basically a case of insensitivity. >> cape followed up his florida straw poll win with a

>> i welcome pushback on this point, but i believe the islamic faith and sharia law are not the same thing. for me it certainly is. and also let me make a point that again in this country, there is a sort of my god sharia kind of reaction. >> especially in the current political. >> i get to make you that. surely it can be defined in many, many ways and can be defined quite benignly and believe me i'm not making the case for sharia. please, i'm not making the case for that. any secularist myself coming meaning that they very much believe in the separation of organized religion and organize politics. but my point simply is that it's more nuanced than the my god sharia types would have us believe. now, how then -- how can islam be reconciled with the democracy in the constitution with god in this part of the world? one of the things i point out in "allah, liberty and love" in every chapter is there are plenty of passages in the quran that actually support freedom of conscience, freedom of thought and freedom of expression. and what i find so interesting is that conservatives, both musli
