if you go to toledo, dated -- those are places that are very highly impacted. host: what are you finding when you talk to the city leaders there? guest: two things strike me. one is the incredible resilience of these communities. they are focused on the future. realize that they have been hit hard they are dealing with, and unemployment rates in that 20% range. they are dealing with what that means in terms of the community and their ability to pay property taxes and social services going, educating people, the challenges that individual families are confronting. they are focused on the future. each one is approaching it in a slightly different way. host: is this a recognition that diversification is the way for the future? guest: right now, we're selling about 9 million vehicles a year. seven years ago, we were selling 16 million vehicles a year. everyone would expect in forecast that auto sales will come back from these current record low levels, but it is clear that over time, manufacturing has become a smaller share of total employment. many communities are

many brand name drugs will speed up generic approval process, speed up cost savings for families in toledo and lima and canton and youngstown and cincinnati, ohio. it's estimated that biologic drugs, again, those drugs that increasingly are used to help treat cancer an parkinson's and diabetes and alzheimer's and m.s. will make up 50% of the pharmaceutical market by 2020. these are becoming more and more common, yet there is not even a process to establish generic drug alternatives. therefore there's no price competition and the price for these biologics go up and up and up and up, the price go up and up and up and up, yet -- yet there is no competition for them and they can keep charging these outrageous prices. these prescriptions, as said, cost anywhere frdz dz 10,000 a year, -- from $10,000 a year, that's the minimum, some cost as much as $200,000 a year, which is $16,000 or $17,000 a month much we're not saying that the prescription drug companies don't deserve a chance to escape -- a chance to recoup th the $1.2 billion they spend on research and development. this chart, mr. presiden

if you're trying to launch your day with a drive to toledo, columbus, ohio, scattered showers and stormseady this morning we've seen a few of those storms, some in michigan, nothing severe but beneficial rainfall. cool day all things considered in detroit and chicago. temperatures mainly in the 80s, don't seem so cool. but when you've been in texas when the high is 101 today, 95 in houston, austin usually in the triple digits and mcallen, texas, the seventh day in a row that they've had highs going up to the triple digits. 113 expected for phoenix, 106 in vegas, 59 in san francisco, back in salt lake city up to 90. when you get to new york and boston, high temperatures mainly into the upper to mid 70s. overall a fairly nice day for parts of the northeast if you don't mind the scattered showers. that is a look at your forecast. we'll have more throughout the day so sit tight. back to you. >> thank you. >>> president obama addresses ghana's parliament at 84040 eastern this morning. we'll take you there live. >> we'll talk about how people are receiving him there. they are receiving him wel

toledo has more jobs in alternative energy than any city in america.t off the coast of downtown cleveland there is going to be probably the first field of wind turbines of anywhere with fresh water in the whole world. there are some soft ones in europe, but i think the economy is better prepared 1980 -- then in 1981. -- is better prepared than in 1981, in that recession. if we had not have allowed the president bush asked for the autos, i think we would be in worse shape. we're beginning to see some good signs, but we're not where we need to be on jobs especially. host: karen is on the phone from branford, conn., good morning, independent line. caller: good morning, senator. on health care, let me give you two examples -- so many people are on medicaid and that is going to bankrupt the states. let's say, i have a $1 million payroll and i have 20 employees and i'm paying 12 million -- $12,000 per year for health insurance for my employees. that is to order $40,000 per year in interest i'm paying. -- $240,000 per year in insurance i'm paying. under dodd'

interestingly, president obama voted against president roberts and justice toledo. he said that you do not need to be bound by a respect for a presidential nomination, you could vote against extremely qualified justices. this gives a wide atmosphere to if people wanted to take advantage of that. it will be a moment where americans can understand what it means to elect a president and the power they have. megyn: if you were advising republicans, would you tell them to do what senator obama did? he voted against two men whose qualifications were not in dispute. his turnabout fair play? or will that cost too many hispanic votes? >> it will have a big impact on latinos simply by the fact that if she is confirmed -- get any republicans vote against her, this administration will pointed out. -- klang it out. the best thing -- point it out. the best thing for republicans to do is to make their points respectfully and in a dignified way. supreme court opinion -- appointments are around long after the president's depart the scene. president obama supported a filibuster again

at a recent job fair in toledo, unemployed workers were able to post video resumes courtesy of local television stations. one man, a c.d.l. licensed truck driver in his early 60's said he was looking for anything. and i quote, even something in fast food. we don't look for a work ethic in our area. we look for jobs. but with so many outsourced jobs from televisions to clothing to automotive to call centers, american consumers are abdicating their buying power abroad. and losing millions of jobs. unemployment benefits are starting to run out. food pantries are seeing record increases and people are getting desperate. the wealth disparity grows larger every day. don wrote in the capital times in madison, wisconsin, the 400 richest americans who now own more than the bottom 150 million americans increased their net worth by $700 billion during the eight years of the bush administration. i think one can ask, isn't that enough? are they filled up yet? in 2005 the top 1% claimed a quarter of our national income. and the top 10% of earners in this country took fully half of the entire natio

remember the prescriptive drug ingredients put into prescription drugs that killed many people in toledo, ohio, with the drug heparin and all over this country. those ingredients that came from china. remember the buy america provisions? all of these are used by our trading partners to influence our own debate about public policy. chinese officials are all too often joined whenever we in this body insist on food safety, insist on pharmaceutical safety, insist on worker safety, insist on environmental protections, it's not just the chinese officials who yell protectionism, it is also american c.e.o.'s, ivy league economists, newspaper publishers and too many people who sit in this chamber. meanwhile, madam president, the united states has the most open economy. that's why i believe today's strategic economic dialogue is so important. china's industrial policy is based on unfair trade policy, it involves indirect subsidies like currency manipulation an hidden subsidies like sweat shop labor. in total it results in the -- in the loss of millions of american jobs. the economic policy estimat

language could have the effect of postponing activation of our veterans for a much-needed clinic in toledo. it's not in their interest to postpone this, especially in light of the increasing number of veterans returning from wars in iraq and afghanistan. mr. edwards: i agree with the gentleman deserve quality health care. it's crucial to move forward and get the new clinic operational as soon as possible. the v.a. is recognized as a lead for the quality health care and we want to do everything possible to enhance that reputation. mr. dingell: to continue, the existing clinic is undersized for its current case load. the v.a. has been working for several years to establish larger replacements. it is my understanding that if we move forward with the current plans which have been reviewed by the majority of the veterans' service organizations, the v.a. is prepared to have a new, larger, lled clinic in the fall of 2011. mr. edwards: will the gentleman yield? mr. dingell: of course. mr. edwards: it's of utmost importance we address these concerns in a timely manner to get the health care to the

i think what is most interesting about the opinion in this case is how justice toledo tried to threade needle -- how justice alito tried to thread the needle. he tried to minimize the establishment clause exposure for that kind of monument. this shadow establishment clause green that is where this case is being fought out. for us, as a strategic question, we knew that we were losing the case going in and we could see what was going on. the question was how did we want to lose the case? that was driving our litigation strategy. our clients first choice was they love the idea of what 1000 flowers views and we will all expressed our religious views in the park. but if they could not get that, their second choice was losing in a way it would be helpful under the establishment clause, specifically losing with the ruling we actually got that any monument in the public park is going to be reasonably seen as conveying a governmental message as a kind of government speech. in that sense, to bring you to full closure, it was a huge victory. we had just wanted and we will get them next time unde

most people around our country in toledo, akron, cincinnati, dayton, and mansfield have benefited from hatchman, which -- ax hatchman which cut the prices 50% to 70%. we have not allow follow-on biologics, to allow competition in the system. but next week, as the presiding officer knows, in the health, education, and labor, we have the opportunity to make affordable generic drugs more accessible for our seniors, more accessible for our nation's middle class. more accessible for the hundreds of thousands -- no, the millions of americans who are suffering from these diseases, but the -- the -- so many of them are unable to get the -- the -- unable to afford these expensive biologics. health care reform must broaden access to generic alternatives. it must broaden access to generic alternatives to biologics, the most expensive kinds of prescription drugs. failing to do so, mr. president, is not just bad policy -- bad public policy, failing to do so means we are letting down millions of our sickest citizens. i yield the floor and suggest the absence of a quorum. the presiding officer: the c

the way from duluth, minnesota, all the way out to the atlantic ocean, and for communities such as toledo and others, the st. lawrence seaway water borne corridor is the gateway to the atlantic and the world beyond. the seaway is the lynch pin in our effort to create sophisticated, modern distribution hubs that can skirt the congestion in coastle ports in our country. the seaway, our core corridor that we share with the canadians, is the vital link of commerce between our nation's heartland and world markets. therefore, investments in the seaway are investments in our economic future for the great lakes states but for the nation. as the united states congress considers clean energy legislation and a national power generation policy, it is important that that policy remediate a major national inequity that must be included in any reform bill. power costs are just horrendous in the great lakes states. in fact, double and triple the rates of our western and southern brethren in our country. and when you think about those regions having had the luxury of federal power support for nearly 75 ye

i want duest secretary vilsack, i don't know if you have traveled through cleveland, toledo or detroit but all along lake erie we have the series of communities that are in deep economic distress related to the wash of the automotive steel and machine tool industry's. i vote for all the programs for food stamps and no renamed snap and so forth, and we appreciate the emergency assistance but i would strongly encourage you and we just met with secretary this morning, to look at the tanf program as well as your own authorities to think about the following. in communities like ours devron the great lakes we can grow our own food and we can harvest what is likely to be plowed under this fall. we need that food. we have food banks with the increase has gone up anywhere from 50 to 100%. we have volunteers serving food were worn out. we have to find a way to supplement the emergency food efforts going on in our region and we can put some of the unemployed to work helping us. it would literally flip spirits' in regions like ours where-- because of the continuing washout in jobs. i understand yo

perriello: my grandparents grew up outside of toledo, ohio. i am from virginia. like you-all we have a lot of manufacturing plants that have shut down. we have hardworking people ready to go to work doing this. they would love nothing more to have a job and one that's making this country safer. keeping our country safe. you have done that in uniform. this is a chance for every worker to be part of that effort of national security and we are fired up to do it. mr. boccieri: people are asking what does this mean for the average consumer and ohioan or virginian? this is what it's going to mean. when you roll into a fuel station someday, you are going to have a choice between traditional gasoline, traditional oil. you are going to have a blended fuel that maybe ethanol based or cellulose based. you may have an opportunity where you plug in your electric hybrid or drive by the gas station altogether because you have a fuel cell that allows you to get 100 miles to the gallon. how is that for american innovation? how's that for opportunity? how's that for standing up fo

that with the standard former president toledo upper ruth never would've made it to the end of his afterpproval rating bottom out at 7%. while the immediate crisis is around zelaya's return there is more of a mental crisis in honduras, a crisis in the party system. many poor people don't bother to vote. during the choice between parties as meaningless. over the last 20 years of democratic transition they have done little to address the political and economic marginal this nation experienced by the majority of hondurans. i like to say a few things about the and mr. shipp handling of the situation. i think it was good year it was with to defend it -- it was with to condemn the coup, the decision to use the oas in its diplomatic efforts to address the conflict was a welcome change from our historic interventions in line america which are well remembered in the region feared the administration and had talked about changing the u.s. government's modus operandi in working to multilateral institutions and in this case i think they walk the walk. with that said, the days following the coup were

i think what is most interesting about the opinion in this case is how justice toledo tried to thread justice alito tried to thread the needle. he tried to minimize the establishment clause exposure for that kind of monument. this shadow establishment clause green that is where this case is being fought out. for us, as a strategic question, we knew that we were losing the case going in and we could see what was going on. the question was how did we want to lose the case? that was driving our litigation strategy. our clients first choice was they love the idea of what 1000 flowers views and we will all expressed our religious views in the park. but if they could not get that, their second choice was losing in a way it would be helpful under the establishment clause, specifically losing with the ruling we actually got that any monument in the public park is going to be reasonably seen as conveying a governmental message as a kind of government speech. in that sense, to bring you to full closure, it was a huge victory. we had just wanted and we will get them next time under the establish
