they are much less accustomed to seeing a black woman and are apt to immediately judged her on unqualified and biased. americans and professional historians for that matter are similarly accustomed to receiving their history from whites and men. it the hard lacy black women as authorities in this field. although biographer's explained what motivated them to persist in their quest to research, write and teach history even though the occupation of professional historians was never intended for them, and even though to seek such a position was considered, quote, an absurdity and in pertinence by students and colleagues alike. before we hear from these three historians to tell their stories, i think it's necessary to say a little bit about their mothers. the few black female trailblazers who became historians early in the 20th century before black people in any number went to college much less pursued the phd. that way we will have a foundation on which to build our knowledge about black women in the academy and understand the significance of our contributors accomplishments. anna jay cooper w

the cash for clunkers program has been an unqualified success. it has boosted consumer spending. our critics say they do not think this program is helping. all of the economic data points to the opposite. i think it would be hard to tell a young family who just bought their first term because of a tax credit or the thousands of people who just traded in gas- guzzlers' for a more efficient car that it is having no impact. do not get me wrong, we still have a long way to go, less that is not the same as good. we know that growth in gdp is necessary but not sufficient. it is not a sufficient mark for of recovery. for one thing, it will not occur until there are jobs. my grandpa used to have an expression, he said when a guy at the line is out of court, there is economic slowdown. when your brother in law is out of work it is a recession. when you are out of work it is a depression. too many people are of work -- out of work. i can tell you today without reservation, the recovery act is working. when we do recover in brief finish rebuilding and wrestling the thousands of people that

norm of our jurisprudence would be, that it might presentedder them, while factually qualified, unqualifiedthat they could not be relied on to look at the case and apply the facts and the evidence and apply the law to the evidence presented, that they would not follow the law, that they would not be faithful to their oath. because of their views would be so extreme. so outside the mainstream. so completely beyond what would be the norm or considered to be the norm. but here in this person we have a 17-year record. she has written thousands of opinions. and these opinions ought to provide the body of law of what she does as a judge, not what she said to a group of students one day trying to encourage them in their lives and what they might be doing. not what someone might have from reading an opinion and perhaps not agree with. it is not whether we agree with her outcomes or not, whether her opinions have a reason, had a foundation in law, whether they were reasonable and whether she based them on law and evidence that are supported by sound, legal thinking. even her worst critics cannot cit

media that is [unintelligible] i personally [unintelligible] you have people on the fund who are unqualified to even take these calls. we cannot battled with them over and over again. that is incompetent. that is not the homeowner doing it. when you say hope, they are part of the problem, too. they are not educating the homeowners to protect themselves. some of these people could have orchestrated this should be in jail. it is like immigration, we are not processing error laws. -- we are not processing our laws. how can you tell people out there do not use a third party to help you out? you could not go into a courtroom and represent yourself, that is crazy. find someone who is qualified who can kick you informed. stop listening to the media, they're giving you have troops -- they are giving you half truths. host: i agree with you in terms of service or capacity. while they have a ramp up staffing, if you look at the fact that bank of america has only done four% of their mortgages, they are not particularly qualified. i don't think they should be foreclosing on anybody until they have determ

this is, without a doubt, an unqualified success.ident discussed that we have edit people to process and triple the number of people to process applications that are coming in. we understand that some of the frustration. it is also helpful to understand that we cannot -- we have seen applications that are illegally in complete. there are ones that don't fit the requirements for it that requires us to go back to the dealer to get additional information. as the president said, it would be illegal for us to send to a dealer check for an application that was not complete. you would be asking me if we did that white's -- wehy the chevy dealership got all these checks based on your investigation on applications that did not apply still law. we are doing everything in our power to expedite the processing of these applications. it's a program that has been successful for consumers, dealers, manufacturers, and workers. >> can someone today feel confident that they will get the money? >> absolutely. that is with the secretary of transportation

and the cash for clunkers program has been an unqualified success. it has boosted demand for cars and spurred consumer spending. and our critics say they don't think this program is helping. well, all economic indicia point in the opposite direction. it is helping. i think it would be hard to tell a young family who just bought their first home because of the tax credit or the thousands of people who just traded in gas guzzlers for more efficient cars that this is having no impact. don't get me wrong, we still have a long way to go. less bad is not the same as good. we know that growth in g.d.p. is necessary but not sufficient . it's not a sufficient marker of recovery. for one thing, it's not going to occur until there are jobs. my grand pop used to have the expression when the guy up the line is out of work it's an economic slowdown and when your brother-in-law is out of a recession and when you're out of work it's a depression. well, it's still a serious problem for millions of unemployed americans. too many people are out of work. too many famili

under this standard, the senate would not reject judicial nominees unless they were clearly unqualified to serve. citing alexander hamilton's federalist 76, those who would constrain the senate's review of judicial nominees explained that advice and consent responsibility was only intended as a safeguard against incompetence, cronyism, or corruption. as dr. john eastman testified before the judiciary committee in 2003, the senate's power to advice and consent does not -- quote -- "give the senate a coequal role in the appointment of federal judges." mr. president, the constitutional arguments on both sides of this question on how much deference to give the president are help lightning. but as is so often the case, my personal -- president are enlightening. but as is so often the case, my personal belief is that the truth lies between the two extremes. as a senator, i have afforded considerable deference to both democrat and republican presidents on their supreme court nominees. in considering judicial nominees, i carefully consider the nominee's qualifications, competency, personal inte

starting with the unqualified acceptance, the consumption of drugs on the u.s. side of the border is a major contributing factor to the power and influence. for the first time we view drugs coming north and guns and bulk cash going south as two ends of the single problem. it is not the occasion for finger pointing between mexico and the united states. the acknowledgment of a shared problem has paved the way for cooperation between dhs, along with doj, and the government of mexico that would have been unthinkable 10 years ago and even unsayable 3 years ago. dhs is working in full partnership with the government of mexico. this is the relationship of trust with verify indication. and one that is accepted by both countries on that basis. on march 24, secretary and deputy attorney general announced the president's major southwest border initiative. a reallocation of technology equipment and attention. importantedly, attention to the border. those deployments are now complete. dhs has also taken steps to deepen our relationship with agencies in the mexico. on june 14

now, they provide you, i assume, each of you has an unqualified clean opinion on your financial statementsis that correct? >> yes, sir. >> yes. >> what would the reaction be to your company's value much lesser company's reputation if you were to lose that opinion, to have either a qualified opinion or an adverse opinion former extra auditor's? which basically would say your books aren't worthwhile. what would be the general sense of reaction to that? briefly, in order. >> i will answer for dyncorp i think you would be significant. >> i think would represent a lack of confidence in our financial systems. >> i agree with that. >> i would agree with that, commissioner. >> so you each have a clean opinion if you were to lose that opinion, it would be probably one of your cfo's worst days, right? making light of a very serious thing i guess. but here's what i don't quite connect. if the standards are public companies here, government accounting here, then i can understand why it is so difficult to climb this mountain to get greens instead of reds and yellows. but the piece i am trying to put to
