it was approximately a month ago that secretary kathleen sebelius said the u.s. department of health and human services announced the creation of this new federal agency, and that is the administration for community living. and in her words, she said "for too long, too many americans have faced the a possible choice between moving to an institution or living at home without the long-term services and support they need." so this new administration for community living will be to helping people with disabilities, as well as seniors, to live a productive, satisfying lives. now, as you may be aware, the aging and disability population has been recognized actually at the local and state levels for quite some time now. so the mechanisms for providing support that facility community living have been really brought together into local and state agencies such as the san francisco departments the of aging and adult services that serves those populations since the year 2000. yet, at the federal level, policy developments from a community outreach, and program implementation

the nfl distancing from comments that secretary sebelius made.ther, you see the public collapse of obama care. so we're seeing it collapse, that's something the white house has to be tremendously concerned about. what the votes in the house are doing today, putting democrats in the house in a difficult position to vote in favor of suspending the employer mandate, which is what the white house argued in favor of doing, but instructed democratic house members not to vote that way. >> 35 of them said no thanks. juan, the white house democrats touting new york premiums in the face of the back and forth on obama care. take a listen. >> this is despite the fact that new york's health care costs are much higher than the national average. >> this is a tangible success, proof that all of the doom and gloom of my colleagues on the other side is not likely to come to pass. >> so the governor there, edward cuomo, announcing that residents in new york who purchase health insurance on their own next year, according to the schedules, will see their premiums sla

and you have of course kathleen sebelius at health and human services.e. and you have of course kathleen sebelius at health and human services. now you have advertising going on with conservative groups criticizing the administration. liberal groups $1 million. so you see a political fight has broken out. >> charles, but on the substance of the constitutionality of the administration saying it's okay, we have the authority to disregard the law as passed by congress -- >> it has no such authority. it's clearly lawless. it's undoubtedly unconstitutional. the constitution is a fairly basic tenant is that the executive is required to faithfully execute the law, not ignore parts of the laws. bl like dream act. you do that in bolivia, you don't did that in the united states. this is a continuation of the lawlessness. you don't announce it in a blog post. you go congress and say we made a mistake, we want to repeal this provision. and do you it legally. but it doesn't even think of doing that. because if it did, then you'd get the go. saying if we're in the rep

and kathleen sebelius, eric holder and shean donovan will be addressing those issues.e house have to say as you can't push for gun legislation? >> the president has made clear his feelings about the failure of the senate to act on common sense legislation that would have improved upon our background check system. legislation that has enormous support across the country in blue states and purple states and red states and that the senate should have approved. the fact of the matter is, and the president has spoken about this, he will ton work with members of his administration to advance the cause of reducing gun violence. using the powers that the administration has. but will also continue to try to impress upon congress the need to have congress act on this important problem and to reflect the will of the american people when it comes to common sense steps. steps that respect our second amendment rights. rights that the president supports. and that simply in the case of the background check legislation as we discussed quite intensively for a period earlier this year, w

he was quickly disproved when kathleen sebelius was elected governor and served for six years, then ifinished off the last two years of her term. and now it looks like the thesis was correct because with me leaving, governor brownback was elected who is extremely conservative. the legislature has become extremely conservative and yet there are still elements of moderate politics within the state. so we've had this very interesting dynamic for the last couple of years where the republican governor very strongly against the medicaid expansion and the aca in general, and a republican insurance commissioner in sandy prager who's a moderate republican who actually supported the legislation, wanted very badly for an exchange to be set up and implemented. and when you pit a governor against an insurance commissioner, guess what? the governor usually wins. and that's what has happened in kansas. but it's been very interesting to watch. >> mark, i'll start with mark, you lived through, survived, choose your own verb, the implementation of mma which was hard and complicated and had bumps. it wa

everybody, i'm jenna lee, and just within the last hour, health and human services secretary kathleen sebeliusd a conference call about the government's latest efforts to get people to enroll in obamacare. thisinthis as house republicanse pushing for a break to give everyone time from the mandate. what did the secretary have to say this morning, jim? >> reporter: she announced that $150 million will go to community health centers to help sign people up for coverage and that 3,000 outreach workers will be hired. she also noted that walgreens and blue cross blue shield will help educate people about the law. the administration's worried about all that because so few people understand the law. many don't like it as well. a recent kaiser poll said only 19% thought they would be better off under the law, and a fox poll found people oppose it by a margin of 55-40%. so they've got a long way to go, and they know it. jenna? jenna: jim, the house is having a hearing today challenging the president's authority to delay the employer mandate which was part of the law, and now we know they have that delay

which raises the question about kathleen sebelius once again the catholic bishops are upset because she to take the contraception requirement out of obamacare. i think she's doing the right thing. we'll get into that and a whole lot more with david graham from "the atlantic" on the "full court press" on this monday morning. 1-866-55-press. >> announcer: this is the "bill press show." documentaries... on current tv. for true stories. with award winning documentaries that take you inside the headlines. real, gripping, current. documentaries... on current tv. if you believe in state's rights but still support the drug war you must be high. >> "viewpoint" digs deep into the issues of the day. >> do you think there is any chance we'll ever hear the president even say the word "carbon tax"? >> with an opened mind... >> has the time finally come for real immigration reform? >> ...and a distinctly satirical point of view. >> but you mentioned great leadership so i want to talk about donald rumsfeld. >> (laughter) >> cutting throught the clutter of today's top stories. >> this is the savior of t

. >> meanwhile it's now clear that while secretary sebelius was assuring congress everything would be ready on time. garry cohen one of the key officials in implementation told insurers that they were developing contingency plans, saying everyone recognizes that day one will not be perfect. >> the administration has known for several months that the roll youth of the exchanges is going to be far less robust than they had been planning. >> cohen also told insurers there was, quote, some possibility that some state exchangings might not be ready. at the same time back in march, henry chow, another official overseeing technology for the exchanges said he was quote pretty nervous and that debate over the finer points had stopped and said, quote, let's just make sure it's not a third world experience. >> they were foreshadowing some of the dlis, system glitches, other problems that would be coming down the pike, even back in march, they knew very likely that this was going to be a bit bumpy for them. >> the white house, of course, sees it differently. >> a piece of legislation like this, t

kathleen sebelius has said it's a lot more complicated than we thought.r bachus, this thing is a train wreck. he was on board and helped develop it. is it time for democrats to acknowledge some of the flaws as they head into their own elections and say, look, we need a better plan for practical purposes. >> martha, what's going to happen, it is going to get fixed over time incrementally. there's never been a big program like this that came in without having lots of problems. the medicare part d pharmaceutical program for senior citizens george bush put into effects and it was complicated and people couldn't figure out how to fill out the forms. it was only 21% favored the program when it first went into effect. today, it's the most popul popular -- one of the most popular medicare programs out there and no party, no politician will touch it. there are always these kinds of problems. ed is absolutely right. you have to have the individual mandate. if guys like me and him don't have 19 and 20 year-olds healthy buying into this system and individually procur

kathleen sebelius tried to get the n.f.l. and n.b.a. and other sports group to lure young people to go to the exchanges. when they refused to show up for the health insurance exchanges they postponed the mandate giving ten million workers no choice. >> neil: it sounds like the exchanges are nowhere near to be up and running and this is acknowledgement of it of delaying the corporate mandate. >> in addition, the taxpayers are victims. delaying it for one year is going to cost $60 billion, $60 billion. it's the $10 billion in forgone employer penalties but in addition, every person that signs up for that subsidized exchange coverage is according to the cbo it will cost $4,820. even if only half of those ten million workers and their dependents sign up, you've got a bill of over $48 billion right there out of the $10 billion. do you realize that is cost of major federal programs like medicare drug program. with a snap of a finger they decided to get law and not enforce it. >> neil: i don't think this thing is going away. they may try to de

kathleen sebelius tweeted something affordable care act opponents weren't laughing about in that in 2014arp nado injuries will be covered as a pre-existing condition. epa climbed in, climate change may lead to rising sea levels and more intense storms, but currently no science to support the occurrence of a shark nado. now updating a story we told you about friday, a virtual study of a cow's life. the national science foundation reached out to us to claire fight grant awarded to stanford university did not apply for the cow study but, rather, to four other virtual about peermentexp. >>> pennsylvania has been a laboratory for a political experiment and now their statement to change the way elections are being held is being tested. >> reporter: voter i.d. went on trial. opening arguments were held on pennsylvania's controversial law that has been on the books but not yet enforced. in this key battle ground swing state. at issue, does voter i.d. discriminate and prevent people from vote something the plaintiffs charge the republican approved law will disenfranchise hundreds of thousands of

health and human services catti kathleen sebelius and the white house say medicare is just as hard fought think it's an expressive analogy in the sense that there was broad opposition to medicare. some of it from the same party that is opposed to obama care. >> reporter: but medicare's costs have grown far more than expensive and not all lawmakers are republicans. west virginia democrat bill manchin worries workers will lose if they start looking for ways to provide them health insurance. >> are they putting more people on part time now because the penalty is not going to be passed on and the government is going to pick it up through taxpayers? >> reporter: some republicans are hopefully predicting obama care may fracture the alliance with big labor but this is not the first time the teamsters have differed with a democratic government. >> thank you. >>> student loan rates doubled on july 1st. the bipartisan compromise would set interest for undergraduate loans at 3.5%. the rates would be linked to financial markets. >>> still ahead, staying classy in san diego is apparently harder than i

you saw kathleen sebelius do it with insurance companies when she was soliciting donations to get moneyucate people on obama care. they have a huge problem on their hands and they know it. i still don't think roping in the nfl and players is going to help them fix the pr problem they have. >> they need young people. >> i tell you, one of the reasons they have to sell it now, they didn't sell it in the beginning. that was one of the big problems. now they have to catch up. it has a lot to do with 2014. not everybody dislikes it. and it is the law of the land. a lot to be perfected, but it will be the law of the land, try to make it work. if they don't do a better job of selling it, it will cost people at the polls in 2014. >> they didn't sell it in the beginning because they didn't want to sell it, because if they sold it, everybody would know what a sham it was. that's why nobody read it. it was a national enema. we had no choice. now they're trying to sell something they still aren't even clear on, so they need a program to sell a program, now they need a program to sell those two prog

. >> reporter: what secretary kathleen sebelius didn't mention, some of his allies in organized labor don't seem to share excitement, with national treasury union employees declaring it doesn't want to trade generous health insurance for private insurance exchanges. ironic since some of the treasury employees are irs agents, tasked with enforcing the law. the fact the union is fighting a bill that would force them to make the trade shows the exchanges are not as advantageous as the white house has claimed. if the obama care exchanges are good enough for hard working americans and small businesses the law claims to help, then they should be good enough for the president, vice president, congress and federal employees. this follows three unions, including the influential teamsters, run by james p. ho a p. hoffa, claiming without changes, it will destroy the health and well-being of members. >> we are on the way to implementing the affordable care act. >> reporter: the president has been defending it on the economic tour, stresses it is aimed for people without coverage, not workers that

the case of sarah murnagh murnaghan, the 10-year-old little girl wasn't allowed, because kathleen sebelius wouldn't sign off on the lung transplant. did that sound like a death panel to you? >> it wasn't just me saying there were death panels in obama care back in 2010. anyone who could read, it's a bureaucratic channel that will decide based on a human being's level of productivity, some subjective and political decision being made as to whether they deserve merchandise care or not. and yes, the little girl is a prime example of a bureaucrat being able to make that decision, which is a scary thing. >> and now even howard dean is acknowledging this. howard dean zm what do you take of the op ed that he had out there? >> haven't read his op ed. i think i and others waste too much time listening to the liberal pundits a few years ago, when they said that was the biggest lie of the year was that my claim that death panels were a part of obama care and the rationing of health care services. now, that's proven to be true. now i guess i could say i appreciate howard dean acknowledging it finally.

in addition to eric holder peg today, also kathleen sebelius, health and human services secretary, the implementation of obama care. sean donovan, hud secretary talking about predatory lending. again, as you indicated, the not guilty verdict is top of mind for all convention attendees. i was talking to folks in the hotel last night. that was all they wanted to talk about. not just the verdict itself but what happens now. so i'll toss it back to you for now. >> lets talk about what could happen now. pete williams. pete, for those of us not well versed how this proceeds legally at the federal level, give the audience an idea of what type of charges the federal government could possibly bring up here against george zimmerman. what is the way forward? >> there aren't many. as a matter of fact in the justice department statement that came out over the weekend, they referred to the limited civil rights laws under federal jurisdiction. the little sound bite you had from congressman jeffries really sets up the key question. the most likely law that could be invoked here is a relatively new one

kathleen sebelius has done a lot of lobbying on behalf of this organization.here's legitimate questions as to whether this organization is really just a funnel for lobbying activities. h&r block, the first thing i think about is it's going to be managed, this health care through the irs. so i don't know. maybe i'm in a suspicious mood tonight. >> well, you know, i think in many ways we should be suspicious. because this is an organization that has enormous political backing, enormous amounts of money going towards it. it's going to be in charge of really managing billions of our tax dollars come october. >> all right. when are you filing the complaint with the irs? >> we filed it today. it's ultimately going to the exempt organization's division, the same division that unfortunately, engaged in some partisan tactics. we're hopeful that they will review the facts that we raised and ultimately determine that there's reasonable belief to proceed with a further investigation and ultimately revoke enroll america's tax exempt status. >>> dan, i hope you come back an

among them eric holder, sebelius, arne duncan another one of the names.ho will, without getting too much into the politics of this, the choice for the next secretary of homeland security is going to be so critical given the debate taking place right now here in washington over immigration. is there any sense of who the potential new secretaries could be? >> no, not really. some names have already started to float around but whoever it is would have their confirmation hearing right in the middle of the debate over the immigration bill. so that's a complicated factor. the second thing is, these are very difficult jobs. and whoever gets this position is sort of in a thankless position of serving it for a short time, can't really make a lot of substantive changes but would get blamed for whatever goes wrong. but the names that some administration officials have already mentioned are former congresswoman jane harman, police commissioner ray kelly who seems to -- his name seems to come up whenever there is an opening anywhere in washington. and also possibly fo

one week ago, hs secretary kathleen sebelius said pro athletes could help publicize the enrollment periodor the affordable care act in fact was actively enthusiastically engaged because they see health promotion as one of the things that is good for them and good for the country. makes sense, right? that was all mitch mcconnell needed to hear. last thursday he cowrote a letter to the nfl commissioner registering his extreme ire. given the unpopularity of this bill -- actually it's a law, it's difficult to understand why an organization like yours would risk damaging its apolitical brand by lending its name to this promotion. notice the wording. mcconnell's wording of the unpopularity of this bill, and nfl balks. it's a baseball term at supporting health law after gop senator sends warning from the gop spokesman who said of their government, we never made any commitment or discussed any details. today senator mcconnell has secretary of state allison lundgren grimes. she is apparently a strong candidate. joining me from mother jones magazine, that's the great david corn. and of course assoc

because when you take secretary sebelius and others who have been through numerous hearings inside congresshey would always say we were prepared, obama care is going into effect, we're prepared to make it happen. well, why is that the case and all of a sudden they shift gears, put it on a time when people aren't paying attention and where does the president have the power to pick and choose what he wants to enforce in a law. that is a fundamental -- >> it makes people reasonably suspicious of the fact that it won't go into effect, it's not particularly popular to a lot of businesses until after the midterm election, january 2015. this suggested, if he wants to put democratic colleagues in -- let's turn to the house. the house passed a bill now to delay not just the employer mandate that the president has now said that's going to be delayed, but also the individual mandate. and the president has threatened, i think, to veto both. can he veto the employer mandate if at the same time, he says that he doesn't want it anyway on january 14th? does he veto something that he doesn't want anyway? >>

hhs secretary sebelius going around with hat in her hand trying to raise money for 30 plus states. this thing is falling of its own weight. >> i wouldn't say that, larry. i do think that the administration is trying to narrow and fix its battles. remember, they've got multiple things they've got to do. they've got to get the exchanges going, they've got to get individuals signed up, uninsured individuals, especially. they've got a target of something like 7 million people to be enrolled in these exchanges. they need young, healthy people in to try to make the law work, keep premiums down for everybody else. and i think if you add on top of that the complaints, the difficulty of getting businesses to both understand what they have to do and then comply, pay money $2,000 per worker if they don't offer insurance, i think they decided that the better part of valor was to set this one aside, try to focus on some other things they can get done. it doesn't mean the law itself is going to be implemented. the most important thing, larry, to the success of the law is the implementation of th

. >> secretary sebelius was an insurance partner.ow we have a controversy between governor brown bock and wanted to have a lot of implementation and the government who doesn't want to go near it. so i know you are living in washington now, but what is the intensity they are? >> the politics is so incredibly interesting. i lived in kansas for 55 years and i just don't understand it. thomas frank wrote about this, what is the matter with kansas, that they have now transformed themselves and when kathleen was elected governor and served for six years, i finished off in the last two years of the term. and now it looks like thomas frank was maybe correct. the legislature has been extremely conservative. and yet there are still elements of moderate politics within the state. we have this very interesting dynamic over the last couple of years for the republican governor very strongly against the medicaid expansion in the aca in general, where the insurance commissioner was a moderate republican who actually supported the legislation unwante

were really present it as something that they had helped the administration along with kathleen sebelius to a fairly strict rule to make the coverage expensive and they have press that beyond make sure that the mandate stays in place. of course they were utilizing as well in 2012. so now we i do think that they can sometimes be that public opinion is where they are. so in comes to this, the public is generally more supportive. >> know i wanted to talk to you about one chapter of your book that you devote solely to defense and how women and their policy priorities on offense work. which i thought was interesting. no one has really looked at this before and a lot of people have talked about how to women policymakers deal with women's policies or policy that directly impacts women order does it have more of a focus on women like education and abortion and social services and stuff like that. one of the points that you make that i think is somewhat conventional wisdom that i think is true, women are seen as weaker in some ways and that they have to prove themselves little bit more and than t

they wanted this to be as broad as possible, and i think they helped the administration as well as sebelius, to stand the ground and have a strict rule to make coverage expansionive, and they expressed that beyond, you know, to make sure the mandate stays in place, and then, of course, they utilize it in politics. it was a selling point for president obama and in the reelection campaign in 2012. i think in that way they can sometimes lead if public opinion is where they are, and if they can be seen as moving public opinion, so in general with reproductive rights, the public is more supportive of contraception than partial birth abortion or something like that. >> host: right, exactly. well, i wanted to talk to you primarily about one chapter in the book you devote solely to defense, and how women, you know, and their policy priorities on defense, which i thought was interesting because as you pointed out, no one looked at this before. a lot of people talked about how do women policymakers deal with women's policy or policy impacts directly women like education and abortion and social servic

call your former governor for him to now secretary of health and human services director kathleen sebelius or secretary and congressman jason chaffetz of utah told the paper that when it comes to constituents needing help with obamacare we all know how to forward a phone call i thought the people who were elected members of the legislature were supposed to serve their constituents not act like phone forwarding mackerras is an executive branch thing i mean it's a it's supposed to be instituted by anybody harness and the congress is not there the congress is there to make law they're not there to to what you have going to have branches for every member of congress has a constituent services office within their areas they can make a home consumption pressure on people but they're not there to i mean i the the answer for a whole scam porch a fence or anybody else is to say we're not here to answer questions that should be got to properly going to h.h.s. h.h.s. can't answer those questions either nobody does how this thing is going to play out it's not looking well so that's the real problem an

. >> steve: isn't this what kathleen sebelius was trying to shake down, to try to get more money to fundca, a nonprofit group to supplement the federal money that was available for this because everybody needs education in enrolling in obamacare because if enough wrung people don't show up, obamacare is basically going to collapse. so they have to get young people into the system. >> steve: that's one of the reasons the white house hosted a meeting yesterday with a bunch of celebrities and their representatives trying to sell it to the young people. you've got these navigators and they're going to be out, they're going to be pitching, okay, sign up for obamacare. and also maybe you should vote? >> in california, the secretary of state announced at every step of the process, these navigators will also be urging people or helping people register to vote. look, i'm glad people register to vote, but i think we're appl. i think there could be a potentially a political component here. >> steve: okay. so let's talk a little bit about the security component. what about these navigators? who are

couple of months ago kathleen sebelius said with a straight face to congress we're on schedule.mark. we're going to implement this thing on schedule. now two months later it's like deja vu. what we told you two months ago isn't the truth. >> delay of the employer mandate will cost the u.s. treasury $10 billion. that according to estimates by the congressional budget office. as for the political impact, republicans are saying this will not help democrats in the 2014 mid term election because it postpones the financial impact on small business. just the opposite. according to some g.o.p. strategists who say republicans will redouble their efforts to attack obamacare. >> thank you, steve. happy 4th of july to you. the rest of your headlines. the george zimmerman trial is in recess until friday. yesterday a crime lab analyst testified none of zimmerman's d.n.a. was found under trayvon martin's finger nails. >> the finger nail skraeupgz -- scrapings of trayvon martin, you did not find zimmerman's d.n.a.? >> no. >> zimmerman said he only fired the gun in self-defense. prosecutors call

host: politico quotes kathleen sebelius -- "moms still have a lot of influence." guest: i can point out that kathleen sebelius is a mom of two sons in this age group. up next frome is colorado springs on our republican line. caller: good morning. nothing could be worse than what the insurance companies have put us through. with their premiums, the co- pays, the caps, the pre-existing conditions, the cherry picking has gone on for so long. people should not have to buy insurance. the tea party folks -- i'm sorry, i am a moderate -- they have medicare and medicaid and tri-care. they can afford to complain. sadly these red states will hurt the poorest of their people and make them suffer. wondering, what can people in these red states do to help themselves when their own legislatures will not even help them? thank you. guest: one of the big controversies that is ongoing -- one of the things the supreme court did last year when it upheld the law is it made the medicaid expansion part of this optional. it said that the law can go into effect if states do not have to ex

wonder when you look back at the statement by max baucus that it was a train wreck and kathleen sebelius saying it's tougher to implement than we thought. when you get to the individual mandate we wonder if they will be forced to decide on their own that pushing it through is too onerous, that things will start to crop up in the middle of an election cycle that could be problematic for democrats to stand behind this. >> it clearly will be problematic for read state or purple state democrats to defend this law in an election year in 2014 and there are several of them up for reelection in 2014 who may affected by this battle. but the administration -- a lot of people looking eight and the analysis of it. they want to get as many people signed up as possible. so even if there are bumps in the road in implementation that people are signed on. once you have something you are signed on to it's tough for washington to take it away. then you run the risk if the obama-care overall doesn't work out as planned you may have democrats calling for single payer and where that goes i think is yet to be

and then you had sebelius, the health and human services secretary, out trolling for private funds to doctors, they would tell you about how they were going to retire, and they're already retiring. and more companies putting people on part-time jobs and indication after indication was that obamacare being implemented is in deep trouble. another one, of course, is we hear about the exchanges. there has to be one in every state. those are behind. they're supposed to be in place by october 1st. it doesn't look like they're going to be. rick: and, juan, yet a lot of the national media seeming to be taken off guard by the fact there are so many problems when it comes to implementing obamacare. >> no, i don't think they're caught off guard by that, rick, i think they were caught off guard by the admission from the administration that the problems had reached a point, you know, from the administration's point of view they hurt business, but the problems had reached the point where they felt it was necessary to delay it and take the political beating that's come from their points saying this

chairman of the senate finance committee, senator max baucus of montana, has told secretary kathleen sebeliusof health and human services that the implementation of obamacare is turning out to be a train wreck. and, indeed, it is. well, unfortunately the president is still refusing to acknowledge the growing evidence that obamacare cannot perform as was originally promised. we know the promises that if you like the health care coverage that you have, you can keep it that the president so famously made -- that's not true. seven million americans have lost their health care coverage as obamacare is being implemented, and many more as employers are incentivized to drop their employer-provided coverage, leaving american families to find their health insurance elsewhere. and we know that the promise that the president made that the average cost of health care insurance for a family of four would go down by $2,400. we know it's gone up by $2,400 since then. so, unfortunately, it appears that the wheels are coming off of obamacare and the people who will suffer the most are hardworking american fami

to have the president get up there with catherine sebelius making a speak and saying we know there is people get health insurance and all the good things happening, but there there are going to be trade-offs and this is what they're going to be. getting in front of this is a much better strategy than admitting that you have to take some bad press and try to bury it in the news cycle. i think from media communications perspective there is a better way to go about this. >> stephanie: let's do that. tomasky writes with no accomplishments and possibly killing immigration reform and admitting themselves and the benghazi and the irs are not going to be barack obama's undoing, they're grasping at their final straw frightening people about healthcare reform. the sad thing it has a decent chance of succeeding. michael writes the ad by the koch brothers is very smart, we have a young mother, pretty y julie, mother of two. [ dinging bell ] her son caleb has health issues, she's also pregnant, and she voices her concerns about obamacare. if we can't pick our own doctor. >> oh, boy. >> stephanie:

chairman brock, your national board of directors and my good friends, secretary donovan and secretary sebelius celebrating the naacp's 104th annual convention and recommitting ourselves to your important work. now, i am proud to be in such good company this afternoon. among so many obvious friends, courageous civil rights leaders like julian bond -- [cheers and applause] ♪ ♪ >> and passionate men and women who have dedicated themselves to bringing our nation together, addressing common challenges and focusing attention on the problems and the inequities that too many of our citizens continue to face. even as this convention proceeds, we are all mindful of the tragic and unnecessary shooting death of trayvon martin last year in sanford, florida, just a short distance from here. and we're also aware of the state trial that reached its conclusion on saturday evening. today i'd like to join president obama in urging all americans to recognize that, as he said, we are a nation of laws, and the jury has spoken. i know the naacp and its members are deeply and rightly concerned about this case as pass
