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. meeting is adjourned. wah! announcer: the smallest moments can have the biggest impact on a child's life.

of the things i'm hearing similar to the united states is that the president of haiti is getting pushback some appointments. it seems like it's not a smooth ride all the way. >> you run for politics, it's not a popular sport. basically, you're sacrificing yourself for a nation. with the situation in haiti, we have so much policies that are weak, that, you know, it's not something that's going to happen overnight. but i have to tell you this president, no matter what they want to say about him, i'm going to always defend his first 100 days, because i was part of it and i thought strategically the idea of helping bring tourism back, the idea of artisans showing the art within the country, the idea of taking a group of people and bringing them to another side of haiti to show, look, you know what, we have white beaches. he's a progressive. he wants development. >> wow. is there more peace on the street now? we saw so much unrest before. at least the media was showing so much unrest. what's going on on the ground now? >> pap, port-au-prince, the capital, at times it's not stable. but at times

ndi has earned a lot of praise for this work but also a lot of pushback. it stretches far beyond the arab world. in part, this resistance comes from the misconception about what our support for democracy does and does not include. the united states does not fund political candidates or political parties. we do offer training to parties and candidates committed to democracy. we do not try to shift outcome or impose an american model. we do support the election commission's as well as non-governmental the election on terse to ensure free and fair balloting. we help watchdog groups learned their trade and health groups find the tools to exercise their rights to free expression and assembly on the line and off and of course we support civil society, the lifeblood of space politics. but in part the pushback comes from autocrats around the world wondering if the next square will be their capitol square and some are cracking down when they should be opening up. groups like ndi are no strangers to pressure and a deliberate local groups to partner with. and i want

>> eric: the pushback is what kimberly points out.s in the constitution that should be applied where the government is telling you to buy a product. >> bob: if you read what the appellate court says, that's what they made their case on. on the commerce clause. if they go by the law and the precipice, there is no douse in my mind that this obama healthcare law will be made the law of the land. the supreme court will agree to it. or if they do their job. if they do -- >> eric: curiosity, what precedent -- you are citing a precedent. i don't see a precedent. >> bob: if you look at the appellate court decisions they head a sum of things about the commerce clause. but supreme court can do what they did and become hacks and play the political game. and basically make a decision that had nothing to do with the law and had everything to do with the politics. gore versus bush. >> eric: the commerce clause, application of commerce clause. the government telling every american they have to buy a product. demanding you buy it. >> dana: this is th

there was pushback and few realized a sea change in how presidents were chosen. >> nobody knew what theye doing. caucus system, no one was contesting it much. >> in 1972, pad goodell worked as pollster for george m mcgovern campaign who was polling at 5% nationally, months before the iowa caucuses. >> the game in iowa exceed what people expect you to do, give you credibility, raise money and give you support and momentum. >> bret: mcgovern beat expectations and placing second behind front-runner ed mcmuskey. he went on to win the nomination and lost to richard nixon by a land slide. gerald ford replaced nixon after water gate. in 1976, iowa republicans moved their cus caucus to the se day as democrats to share media attention. that year reconfirmed the importance of iowa. more than a dozen democrats competed to run against the incumbent. one was former georgia governor jimmy carter who announced in december 1974. and was at 1% in the polls in october of 1975. >> gallup left him off in the last poll in december. forgot him. >> pat goodell, advisor for carter in '76 said his candidate had

one of the candidates saying i wasn't that sure about who led the u becky, uzbekistan and got some pushbackent karzai and secretary of state hillary clinton. do the candidates need to be talking more about foreign policy? because we're certainly not hearing it in the debates and not hearing it on the stump and if so, why is that important to the american people right now who are concerned about having a job. >> i'd like to see more on foreign policy and i would start with the question. do you think that america is special and therefore has a special role in the world? i think we do. we're exceptional, an exceptional country and without u.s. leadership particularly in a time when so much is in chaos out of the global financial crisis, out of the arab spring, u.s. leadership is needed or there will be chaos or worse, someone who doesn't share our values, doesn't share our interests, will lead and that won't be very good for us either. it's a very interconnected world and our prosperity, our well-being and our safety and security are very much connected to what goes on in the world at large. y

certainly you've seen a lot of pushback by the republicans in that they're not willing to go there on the tax increase. so certainly at this point, this is leverage that the president can use to get them to come closer, and reid and pelosi and the democratic allies on the president's side have to see this as a positive, because the republicans are coming to them for a change instead of the other way around. and certainly you also have something else to talk about, which is the extension of the payroll tax holiday, which is something that would have probably gone away or would have had to have been fought for if the deal did not go through and certainly is going to be, i anticipate, part of whatever deal they may come up with, and also the extension of unemployment benefits. two things that democrats exactly want to have on the table, particularly as the economy is so stalled in getting along. you get money in people's pockets. it doesn't create the possibility or at least the increasing possibility of a double deficit -- double dip recession, pardon me, and it also gives them somethin

we've seen some pushback and criticism from the voter necessary iowa, from the most conservative in theld in terms of what he's doing. michele bachmann has been attacking him as well as others. i think that he had the courage of conviction. we will see if this is going to come back to haunt him. >> lenny, you're probably in trouble if a democrat like maria cardona is telling a dm republican that he did a good job and she's proud of him. is this going to mean trouble for him on the republican sight with those conservative voters? >> no. it sounds like apparently newt has won maria's vote. congratulations, newt. apparently you're able to sway some democrats over to your side. and this is why she's swayed over there. it was a genius move. listen, who is going to catch the anybody but romney wave right now? is it going to be paul? no. cain? no. bachmann? no. harry? no. basically, everybody that was going to catch that wave has caught it. now it's gingerich's to lose. he's not going to lose it. what do you have to do? you have to maintain a lead in iowa, which he has, but start speaking in t

democrats about that, and particularly when i talked to washington democrats about that, i keep hearing pushback way to run against him.fá there seems to be skepticism on the democratic side that mitt romney's inability to hold a single position on any major issue is a real electoral liability for him. do you see that as a liability for him?fá or are people going to need to go after him from a different way on the democratic side? >> i think it's a huge liability. democrats may be getting confused because they don't know which mitt romney to run t( against, but of all of the mitt romneys we're presented, when we talked to voters last week in michigan, the number one thing they said they wanted was people who stood for something. ifferent . position every night.t( it's not a minor one. he's like a 360-change.w3 it's like those dolls whose head goes around. you don't know what you're jf getting. that's not what the public wants. and that's not what people think will steer this country towards getting out of this recession. and a clear direction for foreign policy. it's a!nuge vulnerability. and i
