joining us from boston marianne marsh.ou heard the karl rove o'donnell thing and sarah palin and share ron angle. it seems to me that rove is cautious about the tea party impact. county democrats use that in any way? how do they see that? >> there is no question, bill. karl rove has a lot of company on his side as well. democrats are in better shape today than they have all year because they have owe opponents from the tea party that they will face in november and best chance ever of winning back independent voters. you mentioned it at the top of the show. sarah palin mentioned it as well. >> bill: you believe that because ms. o'donnell, rand paul in kentucky? because these people are now on the ballot, why would that help the democrats? >> two points. independent voters are going to determine this election. not democrats, not republicans. independents. we have two shots there because one, i think many independents are going to see tea party candidates is too extreme in some cases and, in the other point, independents have

harvard economist jeffrey myron worked with summers and he knows him well and joins us from boston withs thoughts on this. welcome. nice to have you here. >> thank you for having me. >> uma: what do you read in the resignation? is it that his departure and other member of the economic team that the president failed in his attempts to turn the economy around so far? >> no, i don't think, i certainly don't think they would regard it as a mission of failure. on the one hand, they believe the economy is in better shape than it would have been had they not enacted the bail-out and stimulus and cash for clunkers and other policies. i happen to disagree with that, but i think they feel they did a good job given a very bad situation. there is room for reasonable disagreement about that. i think that the stated reason given is larry wants to spend more time with his family. he doesn't want to sort of take the chance of not getting reappointed at harvard if he were to resign the position of staying away longer. that has a lot to do with why he is coming back. >> uma: you say they see this as a po

host: we'll go next to john joining us from boston. good morning. caller: good morning. host: please go ahead, john on the democrat's line. caller: yeah. i have a simple solution to solving the bin laden problem and also causing al qaeda irreparable harm. host: and that is what? caller: the government could declare bin laden dead, take the award off his head and then leave the move to al qaeda to try to disprove this and they will make a mistake and they will be demoralized. we could just sit and wait for them to make the next move and they would do something to try to disprove something we claimed and they would make a major mistake and solve the problem. host: ok. shawn? guest: i think the first thing i would do is issue some sort of recording off him making a reference to contemporary events. i mean, it's true actually that the chain of custody of these recordings is a probably the most important to the weakness in the vail of secrecy that surrounds bin laden's location. perhaps an idea worth considering. host: we talk in our first half hour, 45 minutes this morning a
