but president bush had this one is robert louis stevenson a natural geniality of the world's greatest men. and easy familiarity. president reagan was very friendly and accessible. but there was always a distance. bush always broke down, everybody sitting in the room, off the oval office, got another name during the clinton administration. we will go through that. ross perot was on and ross perot was writing about president bush, president bush, you not disrupting his daughter's wedding and the secret service. kind of crazy things. and president bush turned to me and said, was to get the stuff? you know, it was just kind of nice matter of fact off-the-cuff. i agree with that part about foreign policy. his experience showed. i do say in the book because again i tried to be fair, the china business i think was not good. i know people made a lot out of the does and it was more going on to the chinese leadership. at tiananmen square was a horrible thing. >> host: because that was as you say the realism which is if you are an idealist in tiananmen square happens you act and you push back on

somebody once spat on the ing a bass door to the u.n., adlai stevenson.n send out a letter to governors and say you have three days to get out of there. i would take that as a threat. the fbi says it's a group with no violence in its record. what do we make of all this? >> the health care is extended beyond health care. in august it was all intensity with the town hall meetings and people yelling about, here's the bill, have you read the bill, congressman? i thought that would dissipate. it seems it's only gotten more aggressive in the last few weeks. i don't know where we are headed next. it seems to have gotten more intense the last few weeks. >> nazi, nazi, nazi they were yelling. >> that was my point. in november of 2009, there was a health care really on capitol hill that was sponsored by the house republican leadership. who all appeared there. boehner, cantor, michele bachmann and others. and people in the audience, tea party types were shouting nazi, nazi, nazi. the problem is extreme rhetoric can create a comfort zone for people who want to take e

northbound jammed from stevenson to falls road. about 15 minutes' drive time.n the west side, plenty of brake lights from edmondson avenue. 70 eastbound. you can see in the red. that is heavy as you make your approach to the beltway. east side outer loop, at eastern avenue. that is definitely catching some attention and slowing your drive down. delays in both sides. northbound eastern avenue to the beltway. and southbound, that's as you approach whitemarsh boulevard. as far as city accidents go, plenty to mention there. moravia at harford. and washington boulevard at bayard street. you can see moving along just fine. and over here, 95 south. the congestion at the harbor tunnel through way. this is brought to you by toyota. an important message for toyota homeowners. to get all of the facts and latest information, you can always visit them at toyota.com. now, back to you. >> okay. thank you. it has been a holiday destination for baltimoreans. once again, chocolate lovers are flocking. >> 12 in one box. and 16 of the truffles. >> yeah. >> it's that time again. th

justice stevenson what he said about president obama in "the washington post." is a competent president to make choices for the supreme court. stevens said he paid jerald ford. let me go to ron on this. ron, it seems to me that we've not had a tradition of using the filibuster. court appointments where it's involved in people in the low 50s. no one said they had the right to veto by denying it through filibuster. what is your thinking on that state of play in terms of picking a court nominee and getting him or her confirmed. >> there have been only two judicial no, ma'am neighs in the history of the united states blocked by the filibuster and both i point out have been done by the democrats. first was in 1968 that was president job sop's nominee to become the chief justice of the united states supreme court. the second was back in 2003 when the democrats filibustered the nomination of miguel estrada to become a member of the d.c. court of appeals. only two instances where it's taken place. i don't think it's good for the country. i'm confident that the president

that was adlai stevenson speaking in geneva a week before he died 45 years ago. is our country doing what it can to avoid the desperate future we see in "avatar?" are we dealing with resource exhaustion? are we people the other people of the world can look to for earthly salvation? second, immigration. how are we doing with the desperate people who want to come here and work here? are we dealing with them in a just and fair manner using honest rule of law or exploiting the recent most desperate arrivals to gain the cheapest possible source of labor? one, lead the world in dealing with the real prospect of climate change and get serious about renewable energy. two, show how a just and clean government deals with immigration, begin honest documentation, begin fair, open and transparent treatment of people who come here to work and stop the scandal of under the table employment practices and let's call it what it is, the exploitation of the desperate. that's "hardball" for now. "countdown" with keith olbermann starts right now. >>> which of these stories will you be

. >> remember back in the '50s that lady whacked adlai stevenson with a sign.there are people who do dumb, criminal, bad things. but the reality is to raise your voice to be heard, to argue, to disagree, that is healthy and that's american. but this is where the schools come in. we need to teach civics. how come mcveigh didn't learn that if he didn't like the atf then get a congressman to repeal the atf? he never learned that. if people are raising their voices too much it's important that families and schools engage and say, look. it's great to argue. it's great to challenge each other, even to shake your fist at each other, but beyond that, okay. settle down. let's vote. that's how a diverse society like ours survives. i'm catholic and only 3% of the people in oklahoma are catholics. i was governor here two terms. we have a jewish state treasurer. only 1% are jews. we had a statewide election, elected african-american, only 5% are african-americans. so that's america. it'll only be that way if everybody realizes you can argue and you can yell at each other bu

. >>> steven bright suggesting brian stevenson at the equal justice initiative. guys, i have to say just personally, are two of my heroes. would that be the biggest fight ever? >> i think that would be one of the biggest fights ever. i suspect a pam carlin or a kathleen sullivan might be on that same richter scale. >> i hear you. thank you for your time tonight, i hope we can sign you up for a lot more of it in the coming weeks as we continue to talk about this nomination. >> thanks for having me, rachel. >>> okay. dave weigel from the washington independent, great reporter, was in new orleans today for sarah palin's big, don't retreat, reload speech. he will join us next from new orleans. we have so much to talk about. taste. delicious new pringles multigrain. new multigrain pops with pringles. vegetables are naturally low in calories.s multigrain. v8 juice gives you 3 of your 5 daily servings. it's a tasty, nutritious way to make this number go up... and help this one go down. v8. what's your number? compare a well equipped lexus es, to a well-equipped buick la

. >> reporter: political analyst alex stevenson says the media onslaught is no coincidence. >> right-wing newspapers were so used to the idea that david cameron's conservatives would be forming the next government, that it's come as a big surprise to them. so they're doing everything they can to level the playing field a bit. left-wing newspapers know that labour have a huge battle on their hands dealing with the conservatives. with the liberal democrats threat, it makes it even harder for them. whether the nick clegg bubble will burst before the election in two weeks time is now one of the central questions in this campaign. another is whether his own charismatic television performances will really make that much of a difference, in a system in which voters choose between local candidates for parliament, and do not directly elect the country's prime minister. a strong showing by clegg and his liberal democrats could reshape the british political landscape, an outcome labor and landscape, an outcome labour and the conservatives are urgently trying to derail. >> woodruff: next, americans o

and you know this is where analogies get very complicated but remember what happened on you know stevensonas spit on in dallas. lady bird johnson was jostled. there have been many moments of furry and anger in the country but this feels a little rawer and a little rougher and therefore all the more-- all the more dangerous. and it is not that we've never had conflict. it's not that there is not a legitimate case against the health-care bill. this isn't about that. this is about people who in greater numbers than historians usually can summon right now are actually threatening lawmakers for votes that they made in the congress on a bill that john dingel who has been in the house since 1955 said is to the right of where nixon was. >> right. >> i mean it's still hard for me to understand that it's only about health care it didn't be. i mean what could be so devastating to people about trying to ensure people who are not insured right now. trying to reign in the cost. trying to have people not have preexisting conditions undone against them. it's got to be about the feeling that people have th

we will show you stevenson university socked in with the fog, and we will show you a couple more sitesere. where we did not have fog just a half hour ago, if you were watching the end of our program, we had showed this site, now at 51, the fog has rolled back in there as well. foggy travel is up north, 83 through your county out west, and we will clear out and wind up with a mild afternoon when the sun begins to break out after 9:00. we will have an afternoon guaranteed high of around 70. >>> we are dealing with heavy volume around the area especially as you make your way on the west side of the outer loop between 75 all the way down to 70 this morning. locking at the cameras here on the northeast corner, this is also stop and go from 95 past providence road. as we take a peek at the maps, we are dealing with several events, a crash on 83 southbound. that is blocking the right lane at this time. and also an injury crash northbound on the vw parkway at 895 causing some delays. over on the eastern side of baltimore county, an accident is blocking the southbound lanes, and another crash i

if you remember, i think it was, what, january of '08 when randall stevenson was at a conference and talked about what they started to see in terms of a real decline in the economy, potentially, and then the market took a tumble on that particular day. at&t has very good visibility into that. so, yes, emerging signs of stabilization in business markets, revenues for business did decline 5.2% versus the year-earlier quarter. we'll see what they have to say on that 10:00 a.m. call. >>> finally, just incredible when it comes to integrated devices and the growth that those are having at the company itself. they now represent more than 50% of post-paid users, integrated devices being, of course, those that can do both data and voice. and that is the trend. that is where it's all going. and that's why at&t continues to spend enormous amounts on capex in wireless and less in wireline. so, actual capex spending coming down a bit or less than might have been expected, i should say. nonetheless, wireless, they've got to get spectrum, they've got to increase tower usage and all sorts of cell si

but president bush had this, what is robert louis stevenson say, a national genie out of the world great man and an easy familiarity. president reagan was very friendly and accessible. but there was always a distance. bush always broke down the distance. i was sitting in the room, refer to it as the oval office, got another name during the clinton administration. we won't go into that, but we were watching the today show and ross perot was on. ross perot was writing about president bush. president bush disrupting his daughter's wedding and the secret service. these kind of crazy things. and president bush turned to me and said, where does he get this stuff? you know, it was just kind of nice matter-of-fact off-the-cuff. i agree with you about foreign policy. very experienced. his experience showed that i do say in the book, get i try to be fair, i tried to business. i think it was not good. i know people make a lot out of the toast, that there was more going on to the chinese leadership. but tiananmen square was a horrible horrible thing. >> host: that was the downside as you say which i
