the task force gets an extra step under 67.35b, but believe that the commission looked at that pro[stro-eugs/] apply broadly to anyone. so the supervisor of records might also say here, we also find this, you know? they are not mandated to, but they certainly might. and the last conversation that the commission had, i believe it was sort of leaving the door open for that. if we did get a referral from the body, we would not just say we could not do anything. >> if i could just clarify. my reading and understanding of the ordinance is perhaps a little different that the supervisor of records only makes a determination whether a record is public or not, not whether the conduct of any individual was in violation or to the extent it was in violation, whether it was willful, only whether the record is public and if so, to order that the record be disclosed. the last conversation i had with the individual who currently serves as supervisor of records indicated that that person has never and never intends to make a referral to the commission believing that it's not within that person's power to do

have the most energized base possible, and so many of these rallies will be in strong republican or stro democratic areas with the intention of doing everything they can to get everybody out to vote on tuesday. >> before the hurricane hit, we were seeing momentum towards mitt romney. are you seeing anything in polls from talking to these people that suggests that might have changed? >> i do not think it has changed dramatically. there was some sense that what momentum he had was beginning to slow a little bit, but i have to say in talking to people the last few days on both sides in different states, both sides feel some sense of confidence. the obama team, as we know, has been insistent that they will win this election, and they have said this repeatedly for the last week, and i think that they believe they have a ground operation in place to get the voters out that they need, but in talking to republicans, what i have heard over the last two days is in republican areas, there is great enthusiasm for governor romney at this point. up until a few weeks ago or a month ago, the enthusiasm

it's stunning deta how much the couas changed and the cat as it stro fee with the which1 was over 40% :ç for george bush eight short years ago and now it's going to be in the 20s. even if mitt republicanonal candidate with these numbers and latino community with women voters and it's really going to moments of soul searching i think in the republican party if we're to be party. >> if locking up that much of the white votey to win, cial issues, in terms of economics?just came in called the moment the polls california -- i) >> i have to interrupt you. i'm sorry. we have an apparent winner in north carolina. north carolina, nbc case. that means that not everything is in but nbc news is8 comfortable with calling them the apparent winner in this case. this would be a huge blow to mitt romney if he didn't win it. >> in 1988 george walker bush won the state of california. california was atrepublican. 1994 proposition 1987 perceived latinos destroyed the party for an entire generation. the party has not recovered and, in fact, itarty. california has been a trend setter for the co

narrative of decisive leadership and there's another narrative that the response wasn't sufficiently strooesn't seem that those things have been placed at the feet of the mayors and the governors. >> the one thing about president obama is the decisive actor. i agree with hillary's reading that this appears to have stopped mitt romney's momentum. the question is this going to be the deciding factor. and what happened with employment leading up to the 18 months leading up to the congressional midterm elections, the employment situation is a little bit stronger. so i think that those fundamentals that matter most. >> it sounds like it could go both ways when you talk about that jobs report, romney trying to use it to his advantage, look at the employmeunemployment rat ticked up and. >> you know, this whole jobs number has been so i think confusing for voters because of course when president obama was elected, the number was very different than when the president took office. depending on when you count all those job losses, depends on whether you think things have gotten dramatically better

siing in an aircraft, we have a pretty stro light, and this actually the architect and the guy who presided over the largest conflict in american history, a conflict we have not won. >> to his credit, we have give general petraeus credit. he is paid a price, nobody comes a general without slipping up to the top. i have extraordinary respect for these folks. lou: you say these folks. no one respects for supports more or military than i do. if you will, i will not indulge the plural. i'm talking about a man who sent the cia down the gutter. >> i will not defend what he did, you can't. lou: why don't we try to get to what is going on. why are we puttin up with this ki of nonsense and recognizing there is a culture the military and in washington that we have to get a hold of. >> i think it is a culture all over our society. look at the sports world. virtually no part of our culture in which people don't feel they don't have to be faithful to their congress or their spouse or their families and to their jobs. the ceo of lockheed martin just today forced out. it is a pattern and it is not limited

top of that you have got drought conditions and because of the cheese lobby in california being so stroor milk produrs down so that the cheese industry can stay afloat. they have also made it illegal for any out-of-state cheese producers to come and buy the cheaper california milk. melissa: wow, it would make your head spin. >> oh, yeah. melissa: what i like. this is part of the genius behind it. state law requires california to keep the milk for cheese price in quote, reasonable and sound relationship. who, and this is what i love about the government. who is it that gets to decide what is reasonable and what is sound because that sounds very subjective to me? >> it is a bunch of unaccountable bureaucrats hired by the government to set these prices of the yet the milk producers come into town, hey, listen, give us a break, temporary lift on the minimum price. they're told, no, we don't want to be too rash on this we have to think about the long-term invement. meanwhile the farms are going bankrupt. very proud family who is held these d dairy farms for generations are literally moving t

and thank you, greta, for mentioning what led to this stro take.rations of hamas, jabari, is like the hamas bin laden. he has been terrorizing israel for 7 years, actually intensifying terror against us. and what we have done is actually a preventive measure to make sure that life for a million israelis in our southern towns will be safer. we do hope that this will not escalate and it's very much up to hamas. and if they do hold fire, we will do the same. >> greta: well, there has been a condemnation by the egyptian president who has recalled his ambassador to israel, back to egypt. of course, that's so important, the egyptian relationship with the 1979 treaty, with israel, which has stabilized, so much in the region. to the extent, it's stabilized. this is why i'm concerned. prime minister netanyahu is quoted as saying, he is prepared to broaden the operation. hamas calls for revenge and says israel declared war on gaza and a brigadier general inier military said that the israeli cabinet gave authorization for mobilization of reserves and ground f

going down for five or six years, in the last six months have started up and they're up broadry and stro rly in many markets. this is not only going to drive housing starts higher but be a tremendous positive for consumer confidence because along with stocks, the value of people's house, the biggest asset they have. it's been under downward pressure. now it's headed the other way. >> right. i agree. this may have had an impact on the election, by the way, because it's so important to individuals. but let me just take you through this. if the so-called fiscal cliff is solved, we avoid the big year-end tax increase, ken heebner, what concerns a lot of people is that next year the capital gains tax rate is going up. the dividend tax rate is going up. as part of obama care. let alone, what may eventually happen with the bush tax cuts. do you see what i'm saying? investment tax rates are going to rise. how do you play that? how do you plan for that? or do you just walk away from it? >> well, you have to recognize that under the clinton administration, the top tax rate on high incomes was 39.6

. >> meanwhile, julian, the ifo slooitly stro slightly stronger than expected this morning. pmis didn't paint a terribly good picture of the german economy. what is going to happen to the core over the next couple of months? >> in the case of germ any, it does seem the economy to be holding up, but not a particularly strong picture.any does seem the economy to be holding up, but not a particularly strong picture. we're seeing gradual improvement in sentiment which i think ultimately has to come out of southern europe here to be honest. things have been so bad, so bleak, that could in turn help german sentiment. the german economy is so closely linked to the eurozone and the eurozone is so strongly influenced at the moment by the very sharp contraction in domestic demand in southern europe. when you put all this together, it really means germany does need to see some stabilization in confidence starting to emerge in southern europe. at the same time, germany is also very exposed to the american and asian export markets. in the case of the united states, it's looking quite mix

there a day early, it's because we were really sort of touch and go because actually the debate and stro vote was scheduled for today, but the opposition got their heck he wi heckles up and said where's the rush, gives us time to study the papers. and i suppose they have a point considering the fact that i think it took them a year and a half to not decide whether seeshl securi social security recipients should get 50 more euros a month. if they hand out the 40 billion, maybe they should debate that a little longer. and the other argument of course they had was everything that we're signing up for now in terms of the greek deal things on the greek buy back program which is supposedly supposed to be finished before the eu summit on december the 13th. so before that, none of what they decide now is relevant except on paper anyway. but as you said, they finally agreed after the budget committee and the capital markets committee and the finance committee met yesterday and were briefed on all these measures and had a debate about all these measures. they decided to go ahead with the vote tomo
