savannah, this is a big political game. this happens every time republican or democrat, somebody goes on vacation and there's this big hullabaloo. as you well know and i well know, the presidency goes with you wherever you go. that's why there's secret service. that's why there's communications folks. i don't mean communications folks like me. i mean people that can get secret messages to the president. i have no doubt right now that the president is likely sitting in martha's vineyard getting an update on the situation in syria and libya as well as talking to advisers about the economy. >> let's move on. let's talk about the republicans. as you know, texas governor rick perry had his first full week of campaigning and he took some shots at the president. let's take a look. >> i think you want a president that is passionate about america. that's in love with america. i know what this country needs. >> you need to ask him. the president had the opportunity to serve his country i'm sure at some time. he made a decision that t

>> we've got to do a few things, savannah. first and foremost, the president's not worried about his job. he's worried about creating jobs for millions of americans who've been out of work for six months or two years or lonr. that's what his focus is. that's what it has been for each day of the last 2 1/2 years. and i think the president hopes that when congres gets back into town, that they'll act on some initiatives that we all know make sense and can pefully help businesses hire more people again. in terms of politics, look, i ink we're going to have a very robust campaign. and we're going to have a choice. and it's going to be based on some very simple values. the question is whether or not we're going to go back to wall street and big corpotions writing the rules or whether we're going to move forward and make smart investments and put people back to work. >> in fairness, you say the president is going to present this jobs plan. but he has been president for 2 1/2 years. there's been a jobs crisis every day of his preside

. >>> good afternoon, i'm savannah guthrie in for andrea mitchell. we begin with the impact of irene. here is the latest. the storm has been linked to at least 28 deaths across the northeast and new england. damage estimated at $7 billion. and the situation could get worse. multiple rivers will at or near flood stage in vermont, new jersey and new york. at the same time, crews are working to restore power to more than four million people. a job that may take days ark week or perhaps longer. virginia was hardest hit. at one point 2.5 million people were in the dark. the second largest outage in that state's history. and all of this of course is making it tough to get around today. hundreds of roads remain closed, bridges have been washed out in some places and train service in new jersey, new york and connecticut has been suspended. and one of those effects still playing out today of course, is air travel. at one point as many as a million passengers were believed to have been grounded when major airports including jfk, la guardia and newark shut down

>> savannah, i think it's going to change soon.ot five debates including an nbc/politico debate coming up in the next 60 days. it seems to me we're going to see the gloves come off a little bit more. mitt romney has done everything he can to stay above the fray. i think he'll continue to do that. at some point he's going to have to engage rick perry. to a lesser extent engage michele bachmann. rick perry has to get past michele bachmann in iowa and get past mitt romney. here's what they represent. here's what i represent. here's why they're different and why you should vote for me. i can't imagine it's that far off. i would guess post-labor day we'll see more of it. >>> i'm savannah guthrie. that does it for this edition "andrea mitchell reports." andrea will be back tomorrow. she'll talk jobs, the economy and 2012 politics with mississippi governor ha eor hal boar. >>> we're getting more details on the president's specific plan to push congress for another round of stimulus spending and tax credits. plus, congresswoman mac sexine

the question, savannah, is, is there going to be a partner that can work with the president on those ideas? and the question the republican party's going to have to ask themselves, quite simply, is are they willing to set aside some party allegiance, are they willing to tell the tea party that they're going to do what's best for the country, and not just necessarily what's best for their political party. >> joining me now is nbc white house correspondent mike viqueira. mike, we are expecting to hear from the president very soon about the jobs plan. still, though, it's unclear exactly how that will be structured and laid out for us. >> reporter: well, that's absolutely right. thomas, the president has a problem, and 15 million americans who are out of work obviously have a problem, too, but in terms of the politics of all this, a new gallup poll -- you may have heard of this -- 26% of americans, just 26% now approve of the way that president obama is handling the economy. it's a 9.1% unemployment rate. experts, economic prognosticators don't expect it to go much below 8% by election d

what was quite good on the "today" show was the way the presenter actually pinned her down, savannah, moment she walked out. it had nothing to do with the discussion about her views about masturbation or about satanic witchcraft, which are well documented but interesting because she readdressed them in the book. moment she walked out was when he awe talked to her about the views on gay marriage. the reason i asked her that wasn't to be sexist or inappropriate or creepy but quite clearly it is a massively contentious issue right now, particularly the tea party candidates, because michele bachmann has made some pretty stringent comments about this. and i think it's perfectly journalistically acceptable and indeed almost you're compelled to ask that competitive of anyone like christine o'donnell because it's such an issue with their side of the republican party. that's the moment she walked. to try to pretend she was walking out in fury over questions i asked ten minutes ago i think is disingenuous. >> we're going to reair the entire interview tonight. >> oh, the entire interview. >> yes

corps doing these possibly very damaging kinds of dredging projects like in the delaware river in savannah the radar because every congressional district has a corps project. that's the way the system works. michael, a former journalist at the "washington post" wrote a four-part series on the corps. >> and my colleague at "time." >> and explains the system by which the corps works. dr. robert b., the leader of the berkeley investigation was in the corps and says clearly, it's no longer the corps of engineers. they hollowed out to a great extent in the '80s they are the contract of corps administrators and their job is supervise contracting on projects they don't understand because they are not engineers anymore. >> the big thing that all of us saw was all of those people at the -- the super dome down there sitting there day after day and the whole country screaming. i think that's the reason this country was so focused on it, was what appeared to be the human tragedy, 15,000 people. could they have done that -- it seems to me, when you see what happened in dun kirk, they got 350 troops und

savannah, ga. on our line for republicans, barbara, you're on the "washington journal." caller: the main thing that is taking jobs away is corporations sending jobs overseas, closing down the whole state of north carolina, basically everyone is a factory workers and the textile injury, -- industry, and they have no jobs now. they have destroyed the industry by sending everything overseas. you get it done cheaper, and the stuff we get back from anywhere is just half as good as what they made in the united states. why can they just bring back something -- do something so that they bring back the company's? host: to you think there are any incentives that congress could put out that would incentivize u.s. corporations to do more work here and not sending it overseas? host: they could give them -- caller: they could give them tax breaks, and and they seemed to sit around and think about what they can stop them from doing next. they just cannot work and pay the wages and keep it -- of business going. if they go broke, they cannot give you a job. if they move out of the countr
