bill: especially sarkozy. sarkozy didn't know why he was there he thought he was there for a restaurant reservation i learned from unnamed source. but let's get back to the serious deal here. you have a commander and chief. all right? now the military, they want to win the war, correct, mary katharine in the american military wants to win the afghan war, just as they won the iraq war. just as once bush gave the surge, they won. the united states won. ok, so now you have got the u.s. military in afghanistan and they want to win. but and they say look, in order for us to win, we need 40,000 more guys and gals. and obama for three weeks goes, hey, i don't know -- i, i -- that's not good. >> and the lesson that we can take from iraq is that, in fact, yeah, when american lives are on the line it is important and it was tragic before that it didn't happen to change streargdz and make sure that you are doing things right and do it quickly. he has the opportunity to do this. but as far as obama goes. steve: vietnam is

sarkozy. i understood that. this is different to me. >> i do not think they understood what was going on, and also, after action report on this, the chicago bid was not as strong as chicago thought it was, and also, the momentum for south america was huge, and the brazilians were almost making this argument almost on behalf of all of south america, and they were going to win. greta: byron, thank you. up next, the best of the rest. and david letterman. this time, he is talking about his wife. and the slugfest continues with conan o'brien and the mayor of newark, new jersey, cory booker. you will hear from conan o'brien next. by the way, whose side are you on with this? sheomcotols..drs s aer of73ea sheomcotols..drs ay w ♪ are more than words here. it's personal. i have diabetes. rodney's kid too. so we're so proud to manufacture... the accu-chek® aviva meters and test strips... here in the u.s.a. plus, we've proven you'll waste 50% fewer strips... when you use our meter, which means greater savings... for people

i think french president sarkozy said it well when he said this sets the seal on america's return tos peoples. also, i think they are trying, obviously, to nudge and encourage the president to continue pursuing that kind of approach to the world and hoping that over the next three years there will be more solid and tangible accomplishments in promoting world peace and perhaps dealing with the challenge of climate change. >> and really quickly that is my question. how much pressure does this now add to president obama? >> hey, you know, how much pressure can you add to, you know, 1,000-degree fire already? he's already president of the united states. this does add a little bit more pressure, but as joe scarborough said, it's not going to affect his decision-making, but may give him a little more status, a little more luster and a little more leverage in the world to promote american values and american interests, and the common good of the world. >> all right, appreciate your time with us this morning. thank you, sir. >>> severe weather in southern arkansas. we'll get to that in a min

you had sarkozy mock the president. and now you have "saturday night live" beginning to mock the president. so this was a calculation born upon president obama's public perception back in february. and things have changed drastically in the last seven months. >> there is only so far lovely speeches can work. isn't that one of the messages? >> he has two skills and that one is speaking and the second one is community organizing. and what the a corn scandal, you now realize that community organizing isn't, you know, helping with the trash cans in the inner city. that it's a skill set of intimidation and trying to get your way using, you know, nefarious forces. and i think between his speaking and community organizing, we don't know of a third skill set from president obama. >> and for our viewers and listene listeners, you broke the acorn storey. it was a heck of a thing. andrew, is this the not bush award? is that really behind this? the i hate george bush award from europe? >> well, i mean how old is that getting? of co

king: i suggest that it's probably people that were the predecessor of merkel, sarkozy or even gordon brown. or even they themselves. i heard it in an actual dialogue with chancellor angela merkel we spend too much on health care. they have the look over their shoulder as if to say global norms would be right. one would be the health care industry in iraq. when we went in there in march of 2003, the average annual expenditure for health care per person in iraq was 50 cents per year. so i suppose you could add that into the average, the global average. we do spend a lot of money. we get great results. i have not heard the american people complaining so much about the results because they are great results. but if we want to take the cost down, then we take our medical malpractice. i talked to -- i talked to an orthopedic surgeon -- if my days blend together -- i believe it was yesterday, but out of their small operation they spend $1 million in premiums for malpractice and in unnecessary -- he said unnecessary tests in order to avoid the litigation. defensive medicine over $1 million o

the president of france sarkozy urged both of them to ratify it as quickly as possible. there were no official comment from the polish president after the positive result of referendum in ireland. so far only one of his officials one of the ministers in his office claims that mr. kachinski would keep his word. the prime minister asked him to do it as quickly as soon as possible. the situation is probably even more unclear in czech republic where the allies of the president treating it as probably the last result to delay of block the whole process of implementation of the treaty asking the judges whether that documents were in line with the czech's law, whether it didn't breech the constitution that judging may take several weeks. so still some questions, there is some opportunity and obstacles concerning the lisbon treaty here in central europe. that's all from marcel, back to you. >> thanks indeed. tvn, cnbc business. >>> well, mazda will dilute the shares by 22%. the japanese automaker will use proceeds for research and development of low emissions vehicles. m mazda h
