raj, take a picture and see if we can listen to what the president is saying. he keeps doing these radio interviews on telephone or talking to family members. let's see what he's saying and what he's trying to accomplish. looks like he's signaling over to -- he's now signaling over to the honduran side, and he's telling someone on the honduran side, tell him to come over. now, remember sh karl penhaul has told us he was trying to get his -- where is olivia, he now asks. karl penhaul told us he was trying to meet up with his family at the border. we haven't seen them. and i want to see my kids. i want to see my wife. i want to see chamara. i'm translating what the president is saying there at the border, trying to get into the country. and then he signaled with his hand. you saw that earlier. he said, let them come over. professor farnsworth, eric farnsworth, this is one hell of a spectacle. what do you make of it? >> the president clearly trying to force the issue. he's trying to return to the presidency of tech gal pa, trying to get the president micheletti to

problems are behind us does not recognize that this is a debt reduction, that the company has to be rev rajjed, consumer has to be leveraged and it's going to be sluggish. we're improving. there's a lot of optimism that i share and i'm smiling. but wow. >> joe mogley, ron makes a good point, the fundamentals are supposed to be supporting this rally haven't necessarily changed all that much. unemployment is still continuing to rise and you've got a consumer that is hoarding cash and not necessarily going out and spending money. tell me what you think changes this situation if anything. >> i think maria basically what we're seeing is while we've had a more positive environment as of late, i think we all know and frankly our client base knows that we're in the middle of a very difficult cycle. i do think a lot of the country thinks that the worst part of this cycle is behind us. we're in the middle of it. we probably have another year or so to go. unemployment is very painful to the typical family in this country. there are a lot of positives. stability in the financial sector is much better toda

i didn't say, this guy did something outrage. 4 rajs. said what's the standard procedure when your investigator is breaking and entering. for example, just because you show an i.d. showing you belong in that house, that doesn't mean you should be there. one-third of women who are killed are killed by a former lover, by a man who breaks into their own home. we have to be smart about this. >> massachusetts law states that when something -- when a citizen requests the name and badge number of a cop they are to give it. gates said he requested that, the sergeant said he would not give it to him. >> that's not what the police report says. >> precisely. >> the police report says the sergeant attempted several times to give him the information but the professor spoke over him. >> the police report is the perspective of the police officer. it is his perspective. it's not infallible. it's not the absolute truth. i think it's important to recognize there are two views as to what happened in this case. >> it's one of those situations where there ar

raj is the medical editor of health magazine. good morning to you both. reports in a blog. why? what provoked that? >> as a neurologist i often see problems with pinched nerves. and this is one that comes from wearing tight garments that constrict a nerve in the thigh. >> where is the nerve? it's actually in the thigh? >> it's in the upper pelvis and extends through the thigh. >> how frequent is that? >> the condition occurs about three to four in 10,000 people. but as we start to wear garments that are tighter and more constructive, we may be seeing more. >> so you're seeing that in three, four, out of 10,000 people? >> correct. >> but there are other conditions, as we pointed out in the piece, that probably are more prevalent like infection. >> yeast infections are definitely more prevalent in women who wear very tight jeans. it creates a warm, moist environment which we know bacteria love and yeast love. it also can cause g.i. issues like abdominal pain. our intestines are made to expand and contract and when they're so tight in that area, they're not

most people say it was a threat and it was a threat made at a time when our economy was hemp rajjing reason with resources he thought it was the right decision. >> does that mean you are done? what next? i told ken lewis i would fire him. now what? >> just before you came to me when you heard paulson talk about the reform changes that mead to be made so it doesn't happen again and i would say in case it happens again, how do we expect the treasure to work? what kind of transparency will we demand?? he set up what we need to do next is we understand a great deal of the history and the limitations of the structure there and we understand that a lot of things were done and we wouldn't necessarily want to have to do again and the oversight and reform has to begin looking at reform and working with this commission that was just put up yesterday over the next 18 months.s. to get the kinds of structural changes so we don't simply hand $700 billion in walking around money. >> this sounds like a kind of secondary reason for this. should you have fired lewis or kept louisis. was it wrong to wr

you can continue to weigh in there as you watch our continuing could have rafr raj. wolf bits blitzer is standing by. have you ever seen anything like this? >> this was an amazing sendoff to michael jackson, there is no doubt about it and we are going to continue our coverage now here in the situation room over the next three hours. we are not going to go away. a lot of people have some thoughts they want to share with our viewers here in the united states and around the world. among them, donna brazile is here, she was crying, she was very emotional as this memorial service was winding down. donna, why was this so poignant in the tears were really coming down your cheeks? >> i guess when paris spoke it reminded me i lost my mother. i thought about, here is a girl who is not going to grow up with her father. you know, it was part of my childhood that michael and the jackson 5 made so special and i just thought about my entire childhood, my sisters and my brothers. it was a moving celebration of his life, his music and the poem that maya angelou composed, "we have him

a premium multiple on the market at the time you have all of these head winds, more consumer dele rajjing and a lot of supply on the treasury side? probably not. it may not stop the markets from trading higher in the short term. >> jason, do we have -- are there fundamentals backing up the move higher or just a bounce from the lows? in other words, were the green shoots weeds or now are we seeing them again? >> listen, joe. i think you're going to get 2% growth in the third quarter. >> really? >> yeah. i think it's inventory correction plus fiscal stimulus. you could get there. when i -- i agree with russ. if i look at the basic building blocks of multiple expansion, taxes, regulation, inflation and interest rates, all of those things will get worse. they can't get any better than they are right now. and so i think that you're looking at kind of a secular head wind but i would also agree with russ. i'll use -- i'll even use another example, which is japan in the '90s prp there were six rallies of 60% on average or more. in a period in which the nikkei went down by -- a fourth of where it

we will take another quick break in our cav raj. we will resume right after this. we will resume right after this. come on in. you're invited to the chevy open house. where getting a new vehicle is easy. because the price on the tag is the price you pay on remaining '08 and '09 models. you'll find low, straightforward pricing. it's simple. now get an '09 silverado xfe with an epa estimated 21 mpg highway for under 28 thousand after all offers. go to chevy.com/openhouse for more details. when you think about all the credit card products, we're number one in fraud protection. the fraud team does a terrific job protecting the customer's interest and providing them with security. total security protection is a feature that comes with all of our credit cards. if there is a fraudulent purchase, anything that you are unaware of, we have a guarantee that we'll refund those funds to you. we don't expect you to pay for something you did not buy. it gives customers a piece of mind knowing that, you know what, if i lose my card the bank is going to take care of me with total s

we need regulators to ensure capital and rev raj ratios at financial institutions match the risk those en-- those entities are taking on. that's what theyhould focus on, not whether a certain incentive practice is appropriate. a finance professor released a study comparing bank performance and c.e.o. incentives leading up to the crisis. the professor is quoted in today's "new york times," it says, it's hard to believe that they'll be regulated by compensation plans. proper ly designed capital approaches are much more effective than fiddling with compensation packages. congress should not be working to -- congress should be working to encourage well-managed, well-run, well-capitalized financial institutions. this bill does the opposite. support the common sense garrett substitute. with that, i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from massachusetts. mr. frank: i yield myself three minutes. first, i had been taken -- taking as given that the president's press secretary said he had some problems with the bill. we have the republicans in a temporary mod
