it seeks to mediate in the region's most difficult conflicts and it has not shied away from conflict. relations with israel are tense after the israeli raid on the gaza-bound flotilla last spring. at home, the turkish government continues a path of democratic reform, waiting for membership in the european union. president gul is in new york for the united nations general assembly. i'm pleased to have him back at this table. welcome. >> thank you very much. >> rose: very good to see you again. >> it's always nice to be together. >> rose: tell me where you see turkey today. its role, its opportunity, its challenge. >> turkey is a unique position. first of all, we have been negotiating with the european union for the full membership. this means that turkey is adopting e.u. standards. this means that democratic standards of turkey is being upgrated to the e.u. so this is something very much meaningful. a muslim country is fulfilling the democracy. of course, this is making turkey very powerful. so power is power in turkey also an turkey is becoming a source of inspiration for the region.

often refers to himself as god's scarred leader, those that followed the career say bishop long never shied away from talking about his own personal struggles and faults. that's made him even bigger than life to his spiritual flock. >> and there's one other intriguing twist to this. back this summer in june two men were arrested for breaking into bishop eddie long's office at the church. stay toll according to the police report that we have seen $100,000 in jewelry and an ipad. ma rus robinson was arrested in that case and one of the men accuses bishop long of these lawsuits so that's why you hear the attorneys there talking about their credibility issues, retaliati retaliation, shakedown and going after money and suggesting they're doing now with the lawsuits. in the lawsuit, the attorneys for maurice robinson say that this was -- he was finding out that other men were involved with eddie long and his way of lashing out at the bishop trying to take away what he thought was most important to the bishop, material possessions so that's kind of an intriguing twist to where this plays out at th

superintendents who shied away from this are just walking in lockstep with those who were scared. superintendents should make the correct call and not put the burden on the teachers. a speech like this should have been mandatory. it should have been not even considered whether it is an issue or not. this, you know if it was ronald reagan or if it was george w. bush, hannity, limbaugh, their heads would explode. they would be screaming about the liberal school teachers dishonoring the commander in chief during a time of war. but nobody seems to care about dishonoring the black president. i think a lot of this is motivated by race. there are still millions of people who just don't want to see their kids have any association with anybody who's black. that's right. what's wrong with our country? what's wrong with this picture? i mean, i can't believe that liberals sit back and take this garbage. where's the conversation about this at the leadership level in politics? this is a kitchen table issue that i think the democratic leadership team should speak to across this country. the stor

those flagging poll numbers have been showing up on the campaign trail, where most democrats have shied away democrats who voted for reform now face voters unhappy with the changes. republicans, in turn, have pressed the issue and even talk of repealing the reforms, if they take back control of congress. >> in my opinion, obama care will ruin the best health care system in the country-- in the world, and it will bankrupt our country. >> reporter: in the meantime, most of the major provisions, like coverage for millions of the uninsured don't kick into gear until 2014. but several key reforms focused on the insurance industry take effect tomorrow. as of thursday, providers will have to stop imposing lifetime caps on coverage. they'll be barred from canceling insurance for people who become sick. and from denying coverage to children with pre-existing conditions. in addition, young people will be able to stay on their parents' insurance policies until age 26. the president was joined by today people who said they'll benefit from changes like those. across the country, the debate continues

since even before there was a united states until today americans have never shied away from a life to make better for ourselves and for others. to better understand and appreciate and celebrate the influence of the military on our nation's narrative, we should designate november as united states military history month. there are two major holidays already setaside to honor the men and women who have served this nation. first known as decoration day what is now known as memorial day commemorates the american soldiers who have died in combat. veterans day began as armistice day to note the ends of world war i. congress changed it to veterans day in 1954 and now november 11 of each year we honor all those who served in the military. without celebrating our country's military history, these holidays might very well end up being seen merely as days off of work or just days the government buildings and banks are closed. u.s. military has always played a very important role in our nation's evolution and in protecting the american way of life. establishing through the passionage of this resol
