dobbs is the host of lou dobbs tonight on the fox business network and syndicated radio host. lou, the president was trying to say that if you're a small business owner and you succeed, good for you, good on you, your creativity, your ingenuity was in part not to blame, but to be credited, but so is government. and that's why the rich need to pay more taxes. he was making the case to raise people's taxes. >> megyn, yours is, i think, a very generous interpretation, and i will endorse it. but nowhere in there did he actually say out loud, good for you, it was your independence, your self-reliance that drove the creation of business -- megyn: well, he said when we succeed, we succeed because of our individual initiative, but also because we do things together. >> uh-huh. megyn: you're not on your own, we're in this together, he kept saying. >> and whereas independence, innovation, inventiveness, where is the statement that says point-blank that capitalism in this country is flourishing when government is standing aside? he makes it sound like the only way you're going to have a

he'd been involved in democratic politics, had been the lawyer handling the fannie lou haimber issues of the seating at the democratic convention. he'd been an oil and gas regulatory lawyer, a power commission lawyer in washington and became a wonderful circuit court judge with a specialty in administrative law. so, i clerked for him for a year. then i clerked for a year for potter stewart. potter stewart had been involved in republican politics. his father had been mayor of cincinnati. he himself had run for the cincinnati council. he'd practiced law in new york city. so, harold leventhal from the democratic side and potter stewart from the republican side were both similar in their approach to issues, in their love of writing, for example, and crafting opinions, so it taught me that there is a little bit of a difference between judging and politics. if people came from two very different political backgrounds. getting a clerkship on the supreme court is a total lottery. there are many, many, many people qualified to do it, and you need luck and i had luck to get to clerk for potter

lou dobbs is the host of lou dobbs tonight on the fox business network. , the president said that during a recession. we're not technically in a recession anymore. does that make the tax hikes now okay? >> i think not, and because this is not a recession by classic definition. it means very little. it is a jobless recovery. when we include discouraged workers, megyn, as you know, 15% of the country's -- megyn: right. it's not 8.2%, it's 15%. >> and for this president to even stand up here by himself and say he's going to raise taxes, first of all, ignores the fact that this is a republican-led congress that is adamantly against raising taxes to their credit and, secondly, it ignores the fact that his own party is not participating in this call for new taxes. in fact, nancy pelosi, the minority leader in the house, has said maybe at a million, but certainly not at $250,000. megyn: well, that's the interesting thing. he actually tried to get this through before in the senate which is controlled by the democrats, and they said, no. >> no deal. megyn: is this

in liberia we went on the advance teams, as jack said. ten men and one lady, as mary lou shields came with us. >> the decision to go to liberia was because they had invited president nixon but his schedule didn't allow it so -- >> exactly. and they also -- from liberia we went to ghana and from ghana to the ivory coast. but in liberia it was the naub rai -- inauguration of president tolbert. it was quite interesting. in fact, one of the secret servicemen who was there for years, patrick mcfarland, you remember him, he was on our detail. and when we arrived, it was tremendous ceremony out at the airport, and then she also got a 19-gun salute, which was very unusual, a 19-gun salute you get a prime minister or a 21-salute for a reigning chara, as such. but anyway, whenever the time came, the president escorted mrs. nixon to the house where we stayed at, in the so-called mansion, and the protocol officer said to me, at a certain time we want mrs. nixon to come and knock on the door and then see president tolbert and then we'll go into the inauguration. well, what happened wa

route 11 to the west of lou ray getting in the way of light rain for now. severe weather with this first batch, but there are thunder showers now developing across parts of central and eastern ohio and they're zipping down to the southeast pretty quickly here. at the pace they're going, they should be over the mountains and into the metro area between 3:00 and 6:00. obviously arriving first out to the west and then coming into the metro area. because of all the extra heating out ahead of those showers and storms, there's the reason we may have to worry about the chances for severe weather. trough of low pressure will help initiate the showers and storms later on this afternoon. things quiet overnight tonight. real muggy starting again tomorrow morning, and then tomorrow a weather front coming down our way means another risk for showers and thunderstorms on your tuesday. if you are headed down to the beaches, kind of a stormy day tomorrow, but wednesday and thursday look real nice with plenty of sunshine and temperatures in the 80s. for us today mostly cloud
