and the scrooge is for of course saying oh our has a think progress report pointed out back in july when our nation was facing an actual unemployment crisis and republicans were spinning a manufactured debt crisis the big three cable news networks m s n b c five since c.n.n. took wineskins bait in one week there were more than seven thousand five hundred references to debt on the cable news networks but only five hundred references to unemployment. the mainstream media was fifteen times more likely to talk about a phony baloney debt crisis than about the very real problem of unemployment no wonder why the debt limit deal in august did nothing for americans who can't find work but then something happened occupy wall street happened carried away and congress to a just a just address the jobs crisis and waiting on the media to inform the country about the jobs crisis people took to the streets hundreds of thousands of people around the world took to the streets because unemployment isn't just a problem in america it's a problem pretty much everywhere as much as the media would like to have

you know, scrooge mcduck, daddy war bucks. they are influencing against big money. >> while they are on the apple laptop. or a lapple as you prefer to call it. >> what he said, tea party gash -- are they the same side? >> what is going on with my mouth? >> they need cones to block the traffic. >> two sides of the same cone. >> not at all. the tea party knows why they are there. they are organized and have a mission and know how to go about it. the wall street protesters it is a compilation of students and teachers who who hate wall street, but would love to work there. offer a job at goldman sachs to any of them they will take. it but they are going about it the wrong way. if you want to go after big business you don't protest on wall street. you protest on k street. that's where you go. k street and not wall street. >> the people did start out with a muddled message. it was healthcare. it was anti-obama. the general sis of the tea party -- >> by the way, you missed that entirely. she was plugging her all girl band, kailey the

this party has become a cartoon of ebenezer scrooge or worse.o the president's hands, and he couldn't be weaker in terms of the economy. and they want to make him, what, are they trying to save this presidency, these guys? >> chris, there's nothing better than being on television with you when you're using the word "horny." let's start with that. >> okay, randy, better word. >> stick with horny. >> we'll stick with what you've got. it is extraordinary, and they do seem to be giving the president a gift on a lot of these issues. i'm more struck, in some ways, by how, in romney's case in particular, how totally ignorant he seems to be about the actual public policy implications of what it would mean to let the foreclosure crisis play out in a natural way. he is supposed to be the guy who has private sector experience, he's supposed to understand the private sector better than barack obama. that's supposed to be the contrast that favors him, that he actually understands how things happen and what he likes to call the real economy. there aren't very

what's important is that the money is good for you not the face of the idea of the money scrooge well you know but then it's so good. to look first in part because your first open ended well i wanted to grow up to be a policeman but my exam results were not good enough. and had also around the same time my dad fell sick and class has happened we have no money then. i couldn't find any other work so i went straight to the beach to learn my way and i had seen many of my friends get women there so i rushed to learn english at about . looking for a job so difficult before this thing for my four month sleep in place place misplaced place then i see my friend working on the good then he. came when you were on you working on the beach with my friend. yeah i don't i. mean you know. if you are an inline. man on the ground on this round don't forget then. it's normal every day i just move my friends of the population free their name of king means i might be. a teacher. then there's no getting. out of like there's a. black guy learnt english that's a study in your dictionary. well i would learn

in fact the so-called debt crisis would be so bad the democrats would have to play scrooge and take stuff away start cutting the social safety net eventually they'd have to shoot sarah reagan dutifully ran up more debt in eight years than every president from george washington to jimmy carter come by herbert walker bush followed reagan's lead adding trillions more to the debt thrown in a war for good ever so when clinton came into office republicans went to phase two and began screaming about the debt crisis and clinton bought into it a dutifully shot the santa clause of welfare as we know it and kneecapped the era of big government then when clinton left it was right back to business as usual with george w. bush but when he's program on steroids adding almost six trillion to the national debt and a couple more wars for three decades what is the strategy has worked brilliantly for republicans and their rich donors with the added bonus of largely wiping out the once politically active and pesky unionized middle class three republican presidents around the nation's debt up to such incredibl

actually very much in support of what you and others have been doing and get your reaction it was scrooge greed and recklessness caused this recession that led to so many people losing their drugs it had an excessive risk taking on wall street had a lot to do with it and so did some failures on the part of regulators. so this is senator bernie sanders sanders questioning chairman of the federal reserve ben bernanke they go into a little more and you know he asks ben bernanke he have these issues been fixed renee he says for the most part yes and center says you know all right i respectfully disagree what is your beef you know that you have with what's gone on over the past few years with last three. well i think you know obviously. the. the lack of legislation and. over over you know the banks and volved and private lending and involved and. public lending whatever you know there's been a lot of. lack of regulation and also in conjunction with. the is the corporate personhood that we have been fighting against sense to beginning of time it seems like in this country but you know a lot of

. >> it's kind of like when scrooge in "the christmas carol" woke up on christmas day and realized howhat his life could be like and when he woke up that morning, he had a second chance. >> alex and derek's mother didn't visit them too often in prison, but she was with derek the day he walked out. he remembers it as just about the happiest moment in his life. happiness for derek was hard to come by. his early childhood is a blur. but he holds on to a smattering of pleasant images, a little boy with a brother, a mother and a father. >> it wouldn't be something that i could describe. just pictures. nothing much else. >> and nothing that lasted. derek was just 7 when he went to that foster home. he still doesn't understand why. but he says it wasn't all bad. he enrolled in classes for gifted children. he says the family was stable. >> they took me in and raised me as if i was one of their own. i was with them seven or eight years. >> derek admits he made it tough for them. he wouldn't listen, caused trouble. that's why they sent him back to his father after all those years. and of course

time magazine had me on the cover as scrooge, holding tiny tim's broken crutch.nough that i stole it, i had broken it -- >> sean: i remember that ad. >> now, that was newsweek. newsweek had me as a dr. seuss figure. so part what have has happened with the debates is that people are seeing me as i am. i am different from the news media version -- maybe the caricature. >> so i think that helps me. >> sean: let me ask you this, is the scprz fall of a lot of candidates, is it becoming romney versus maybe the tea party? because it seems like mitt romney still has to strug toll explain over and over again and it came up last night, romneycare. do you think that is where the divide is? he is 20-25% rollly at the polls. >> i think mitt is a very competent hearing and a very talented guy. he's been working on this for 6 years. he certainly has a base, it's a big base by any reasonable standard he is probably the frontrunner and can raise more money. the challenge is simple. the reason i think he has a hard time getting above 24-25%. this is a party which decided starting

the halloween scrooges also reportedly took issue with the way that courtney was dressed.oice but to walk her festive stripper boots right out of there and show off her pumpkins on the side of the road. there are other photos, but we can't show them on tv. they show a little too much crack'o'lantern. >> the women were coming up to the manager and complaining. >> because of the kids? >> yeah. >> i don't know if you picked up on this, because it was super subtle, but i think courtney was implying that the women wanted her gone for some reason other than "the kids." >> so a lot of the kids thought that she was like this pumpkin patch princess and there was a handful of concerned moms, who went to the owners and said, get her out. >> and their cleavage was hanging out quite a bit. >> she is such a kidder! she's 17! so smart. those concerned moms, mind your own cleavage, that's what i say. the moms were having a good time, the dads were too, according to doug. watch him to explain as dr. drew and the audience try to keep a straight face. >> we even overheard a dad say, oh, look

don't be a scrooge. dentists say it is better for teeth if they eat it all halloween night and get rid of it. >> if you keep munching out every day for the rest of the month, that could cause a lot of damage. >> after kids have had their fill of damage and you just want it out of the house, consider a halloween candy buy-back program. that's where kids trade in their candy, and the candy is then donated to troops overseas through operation gratitude. >> so we get a sugar high on halloween and then get it over with. >> yes. >> don't go away. much more news coming up. first a look at events going on around town this weekend. >> with the bicentennial and the start of the war of 1812, a celebration. the men and women that make up the bicentennial celebration are visiting the naval academy which houses some important artifacts of the war. rob roblin has that story. >> next year is the bicentennial of the war of 1812. it is a war that brought fame to our new nation. >> i didn't know there were so many people i
