"a," i dot think anybody's gleeful. "b," the perso who's least gleeful is leon panetta. because he is try to dotwo things at once and it's rlly toh. he wants to lead the cia. he wants presint oba to have credibility with t cia. he wants to get us to a new place. so the really n't want to be dragged into these old controversies. but he's also a formermember of congress. and he kno that congress is suppos to be briefed on this. d he believes in briefg congressn this. so i think the notion tha leon panetta, with his responsibilities at the cia, i somehow cooking somethingp for nancy pelosi,that fls in the fa of who he and is how he behad when this controvers

separate queson as to whether or not we'd beetter off today if we did not do the economic revery plan, whic what eric is proposin that we have done not ve passed th plan. the fa of the matter is that mk said, we're a whole lot better off todathan we would have been if th had not en pasd. the fact thate're not even betterlace reflection ofhe fact that the economys in very deep tuble. now, the fact is also tt this is a two year economic recery pln, about 200lus billion dollars aready been committed or spent and that ove the next quarter, wenticipate more tlays because one of the things the president wasvery clear about and congress was very cle about is that we want to makesure that these monies are spent wisel that they're not wastd. a that requires greater oversight and transparency. so we're trying to accomplish both goals and we are on track. >> ifill: if i could k you that, cause you said on -- sit on oversight committ that was talking abut this today. there was some concern among oer lawmakers and folks w testied before you that maybe, the money wa't being allocated correctly? >> well,h

our article andmae me otrs, this notion that we were trying to get sanions or th this was a forum in whicget sanctions is not accurate. what we wanted was exactly what we got which is a statement o unity and strong condemnaon about the aalling treatment of peaculprotesters st-election in iran as well as some behavior that just violates basic international norms. storming of emsss, arresti embassy personnel, restrictions on journalists. and so i think the realtory here w consensus in that statement including ssia. which, you know, doesn't make stements like that lightly. now, there is -- the other story there was t agreement that we will reevaluate iran's posture towards negotiating the cessation of auclear weapons poli pocy. we'll evaluatehat at the g-20 meing in september. and i thk what thats is it provides a time frame. the international community ha saidhere's aooryou cawalk througthat allows you to less intentnsnd mo fully join the international community. if iran chooses not to walk through at door, then you have, on record,he g-8 to begin with, b i think potentialla lot of other co

think the supreme court does, with deference because that is the bedrock of our constitutional system, whic is that each branch has a different set of constitutional powers. that difference must be given to the rights of each branch and the situation. that is exercising its powers. and to the extent that the court has a rule, because it does have a role to ensuring that the constitution is followed. it attempts to do that. when i say attempt it always attempt sit with a recognition of the deference it goes to the elected branches in terms of setting policy and making law. >> for that response. let me turn if i might to our personal background. there's been a lot of discussion here about what each of us bring to opposition in public life. progress for women in this country has not come easily or quickly. at one time women could not vote, could not serve on juries, could not hold property. i sit here today wanting to hold confident that the supreme court and its justices to make key decisions on women's rights in society will act to ensure continued progress for e quality with men and women.
