stephen, we'll get his word in.uld guess a rather tired anderson cooper is ready to host "ac 360" at the top of the hour. what's up, anderson? >> not as tired as a lot of the politicians who won last night. ahead on the program, a new reality in washington. does president obama get it? does he get why voters turned a 2008 landslide into a 2010 revolt? the president spoke for an hour today and asked repeatedly if his policies needed to change. he seemed to be suggesting there was anger over the economy not his policies. he says it was a problem of advertising. does he get it. >>> and a look at the promises tea party candidates made and now they're in power promises they'll have to deliver on. many ran as fiscal conservatives. can it be done? we're holding them accountable, asking for specifics. tea party republican michele bachmann, one of those fiscal conservatives. she claims the president is spending $200 million a day for an upcoming trip to india. ward where did she get that number? you'll hear it for yourself,

stephens is a resident and the need to have a residential appointment on tida. the commitment that was made on committee and has been made publicly outside of committee and in the newspapers is that right now, currently, mr. shoemaker's position will be filled by a resident. what we did discuss in committee is the fact that it had -- that the post had been advertised. we were seeking applications -- actively seeking applications from residents. had been going on two weeks before we actually met in committee. i believe one person had filed an application. the process will be open for another two weeks, but the spot is designated for a resident, and i feel very confident that a resident will be placed in that position. it does not seem to me that the thing for us to do right now is to hold up appointments of members of tida who have been sitting on tida and doing a very good job. there is nothing, in my opinion, that should prevent us from moving forward on the appointments we currently have, particularly because we are the ones who will be approving the resident,

you want to fly stephen in the iraqi go this is the u.s. government a nice word freedom they told us we learned as evil they rig a lecture and part. i think i was talking about the workings of the thread was not necessary and there was a lot of noise thank you very much i know no game is to the united states of course dictatorships in saudi arabia it's for dictatorships and more dictatorships around the world don't tell me that's about freedom i'm not saying there's any moral equivalency into the taliban clearly therefore they're far far worse and i'm very proud of our freedoms here in america but the invasion of iraq was not about freedom it was about empire and oil and then don't don't don't try to make things up like people were saying why don't lie about freedom like people lied about weapons of mass destruction or lied about ties to al qaeda ok. michael i'd like to go to you and the coverage of this story in western media and i did some research and i always covered in western europe britain australia canada but there's very interestin

doesn't control the internet in other countries in other continents it just doesn't you know stephen and i have to go to you again being contrarian here ok i mean. showing the world everyone from governments very very dirty laundry ok very in a very wrong way but you know a lot of people would say this organization is opaque in itself and is that it in a way that is kind of problematic we don't know who's really in the organization except for a spokes person or maybe a few other people i mean is that is that a problem for you anyway. not particularly i think what's really i don't care particularly however given organization operates what i care about is whether whether my government is supporting death squads is supporting torture is engaged in war crimes is not telling the truth about the us going on in the war in iraq or that i'm supporting in my tax dollars and we're. losing lives and treasure over i mean this is the this is the what's really important here i mean i'm sure if i knew more and probably have some opinion some positive more some negative about about the group but you

here i agree with stephen. what they do and stevens had the resolution regime enables bank regulators wind three keys turn, the treasury proposes two-thirds of the fed and fdic agree to take over a firm that is systemically important. it is a process in dodd-frank for designating systemically important financial institutions and regulating them differently. resolution rules do not require that the institution be pre-designate that the treasury can decide with some it gets into trouble we think they are important. we think if they fail it will mess up the economy and invoke the resolution rules. the resolution rules are structured with the intent of requiring a liquidation, not a restructuring of these big financial institutions. there are all sorts of provisions built into the resolution rules that are designed to end taxpayer bailout. so in president obama said this legislation ends taxpayer bailouts, as we know them, he was thinking of the resolution rules. in particular, will the end bailouts now? they won't

when these appointments surfaced and when chair stephens was not reappointed by the mayor, residents, the folks who are active on treasure island -- i believe unanimously -- weighed in in opposition, and this is difficult because these are technically redevelopment appointments that are effective if we do not act by 2/3 vote right now to reject. but the past -- teh ask -- the ask from treasure island is to reject these appointments, including director elberling, whom i'm close to, until we get a sound slate of potential directors to us, whether it be from the current mayor of san francisco or the next mayor of san francisco. it is my understanding that if we do reject these appointments, that the existing directors will continue to serve, so there will not be a lapse in the work program at tida, but these are lame-duck appointments in more ways than one. to not allow the next district supervisor, who will have to work with these directors, the opportunity to weigh in is incorrect. to allow the outgoing mayor, and i think there may be some patronage involved in some of the particular a
