the white house, mr. chairman. the only way to get those documents is to subpoena them. we have the authority under the constitution delegated to get those documents. i would hope once the white house receives the subpoena, they will -- they will comply and then we can work together to determine what, if anything, can be done to prevent future activities like this occurring. and if something happened that shouldn't have happened, determine what penalties and what remedial steps need to be taken. that, mr. chairman, i yield back the balance of my time. >> the gentleman yields back the balance of his time. the chair recognized the past full committee chairman emeritus, the distinguished gentleman from maryland, mr. dingell, for five minutes >> i didn't roll off the cabbage wagon yesterday. i was chairman on this committee for 16 years and most of that time i was chairman of the oversight committee. i served many subpoenas on many people but never on the white house. we always got the information we wanted f

and one day he gave dan white the bunt sign. he asked dan white to bunt. and dan white knew the signs and instead he ignored it and hit everybody, and after the inning jim whitt said, why did you do that? i gave you the bunt sign. and dan white's response was to pull off his jersey, throw it down, stomp on it, and walk off the field, and he never came back and played for that team again. that was an important story to me because it told me something. it told me dan white was a quitter. and then, when i looked at his career, i saw a very different career. i didn't see a guy moving through a series of leadership positions. i saw a guy cutting and running again and again and again. when things got tough, he got going. the second half of my book -- first half is about events i just described in a good deal more detail than i'm able to go into them tonight. the second half of the book is about the trial, and the reason for that is -- that is the reason -- one of the reasons i called the book "double play." it's called toy double play" because there were two ass

the white house, mr. chairman, responded to the request document production on september 13, september 30, and october 7, totaling 968 pages. now, there have been subsequent communications between this committee and the white house. the white house has asserted, and i do not completely agree with the white house position on this, but they asserted that many of the documents have been produced by agencies were also documents that had been included in the september 1 request, and so there have been a number of back-and-forth communications about those documents, and now, mr. chairman, the minority was there, the majority was there, and the white house as well as many staffers, in which i heard the white house council clearly say that she believed this was a legitimate investigation. she believed that documents relating to anything about this loan guarantee were appropriate, including, she said, about documents involving communications with political donors and others, and she volunteered to work with commit

the white house, mr. chairman, responded to the request would document production on september 13, september 30, and october 7. there have been subsequent communications between this committee at the white house. the white house has asserted that many of the documents that had been produced by the department of energy and omb were also documents that were included in the september 1 request. there have been a number of back and forth communications about those documents. there was this meeting yesterday, which we have all talked about, where the majority was there, the minority was there, and the white house. i heard the white house council clearly say that she believed that this was a legitimate investigation. she believed that documents relating to any thing about this loan guarantee board appropriate, including documents about communications with white house political donors and others. she volunteered to work with committee staff to further narrow the scope. later yesterday, after many conversations b

and it was because he was white and he could pass for white. they used him to go into areas where they had just been riots, which is been lynchings, and he would gather information to and he was incredibly good at it. sometimes a little cocky and sometimes he really, i mean, he regularly risked his life. one story i will tell you, in 1919 he's in arkansas, and there's a terrible, what can be described as a slaughter of black sharecroppers. he goes to the town to investigate. and he is walking around town talking to people, and a black man passes industry one day one day and says, hey, come into the alley with me i've got to talk to you. they go into the alley and he says they know who you are. you've got to get out of here. so white hightails it to the railroad, jumps on a train, catches a train and he's leaving town. the border, the white border comes to to collect tickets and he goes, why are you leaving town? at that time to use the term yellow negro for someone with light skin. he said you leaving town? they're just going to lynch a yellow

when he talks about things like white supremacy, white separatism and white privilege, terms like that, i mean, the average white person isn't as struggling to most white people. i mean, you mentioned reverend jackson, and he even acknowledges that just in terms of broad numbers, there's more white people, more white people living in poverty than black people and more struggling white people than black people, and when you use those kinds of terms, it really turns off the average white person who is just trying to make ends meet, and they don't feel like they have any special stairway to heaven or anything just because they happen to have white skin, you know? i think that's one of the big reasons that we don't make much progress on this racial type stuff. >> caller? >> my question -- >> okay -- >> my question hoe though is about the black community. even if there was no one except black folks in america and you had illegitimacy rate which i think is about 70% now, you'd still have tremendous problems. i wondered if you'd like to talk about that now? >> caller, we'll get an answer from

either college whites, noncollege whites and minorities. you manage the declined enough and i think if he does it is much more likely the the white upper middle class will day with him than the white working class and particularly if he can hold enough college-educated white women. david axelrod cited to me as a potential model where he was obliterated with working-class whites. the last two-thirds of working-class white men is the one because he's -- won enough college-educated whites particularly women. that does not work in ohio. it does work attentively in virginia, colorado, nevada so one last point very quickly. the tough question i think is not answered for democrats is whether there is in fact kind of a treadmill here. and that is that as the minority share share of the vote increases and becomes more visible and becomes more identified with the democratic party over 40% of obama's votes in 2008 came from minorities. it's that phenomenon itself that presses the vote among whites. is worth noting in a pew study of generations two wee

was three times that of white america.had the president lived up to the racial expectations of the black community, and i say that because leading into this presidency people thought of open change. as a journalist i saw level of expectation that i didn't think anyone could humanly reach. is he doing his job as a regular president's, or has the wrong? >> again, barack obama has burdens that no white politician would have. you just mentioned that. he has special burdens, special racial birds. white politicians have racial birds, too. black people, everybody has a race. but a black president has a special burden. to answer your question directly , i think that barack obama has satisfied real lifting expectations. some people truly did have unrealistic expectations. there are some people who really swept up and had some sort of hope. there were some people. they did. they absolutely did. there was the sense that the day after he was sworn in there was going to be a new blank page and that everything was going to be completely

in 2010, despite a real movement to the white among working-class whites, rural whites, the sort of thing, there were enough of those people to get over the line. that is the difference then in say wisconsin. you cannot lose them by this kind of margins and earn enough other people to make it up with. >> i think that will have to wrap it up. i hope that in our conversation, we have highlighted the basic facts and trends that lie behind the basic struggle in the states. i know they will be thinking about it a lot if obama should be named -- in obama and whoever should be named republican headquarters.

these two bullets, one was found that had shattered a window at the white house. it was stopped by this protective ballistic sealing they have on the inside of the white house. a second bullet was found on the white house lawn and once again, they are still looking for the man connected with the incident on friday. he is oscar ortega hernandez and here is what happened. on friday, some wpsz said they heard some shots fired outside the white house in the area of constitution avenue and two vehicles speeding away. -- some witnesses said they heard some shots fired outside the white house. investigators found an abandoned vehicle with an ak-47 inside and some information that led them to believe that

from then on, i knew that i was not supposed to talk to a white child or interact with a white child. that was a very early age. i was maybe around five or six years old. then, my mother explained to me about -- and words stuck in my mind -- "white folks." another occasion happened to me in a five and ten-cent store. i have to tell you this to put it in perspective. it was not just march 2. it was all the bad experiences that i have had as a child at that young age that i should not have had to have gone through. there was a lunch counter. i still tell everybody i love the smell of that by then 10 -- that five and ten. i looked over and saw these little white kids sitting on coca-cola -- sipping on coca- cola. they were eating double-decker'' sandwiches, and my mother was looking away, and i sneaked over there. i knew she would come over there and buy me one. she came back and grabbed me by the back of my collar and pulled me -- she said, "i told you, that is for white folks." you learn at a very early age. she said, "honey, are you hungry?" i was not hungry, but i saw what those whit

higher than al gore got with 42% of whites, and john kerry's 41% of whites. but it was clear in the 2010 midterms, when democrats got just 37% of whites and the president's current support with whites is at 38%. clarence, this is about politics and ethnicity. i have never heard the word uppity used except in combination with another word, the n word. >> it is the perfect dog whistle word and we also know rush limbaugh loves to walk that political correctness line and appeal to the demographics you're talking about. i think it's important to remember that what democrats haven't carried the white male-vote since l.b.j. in 1964. this is all part of the culture war that's been going on in the country since the 1960's. rush limbaugh knows how to plug into that group. that's his base. as soon as i heard that he had said this, i said, is this sweeps month? chris: i think it is this audience. he's very commercial, rush is. but let me ask you about this. i think it was a bugle call, not a dog whistle. working-class whites and the way they call it in the polling is non

i am an older white woman. i live in the east coast in areas that is much more conservative listening to tv a lot but at a time when everything is so volatile, the voices like oprah winfrey and david appel and other media people are not there to stand by my president and help them and be with him and to speak with him. the own democratic party is not there. with the media is viciousness and allies. we have laws if you say a curse word you get a fine but if you tell the untruths that does not cost you. there is no consequence. >> host: we got the point* think you. dr. kennedy there was something a wanted to pick up on that you can answer whatever you want but talk about the democratic party not being fair to support her president. >> a couple of things. first of all, the job of the president of the united states is incredibly difficult. the president of the united states can expect to be criticized all over the spectrum from all sorts of people. the top person and a rambunctious democracy will be subject to crit

>> of the white house. >> he was interested in it.was always interested in anything that i cared about. but then he was nervous about it. i mean, he wanted to be sure was done the right way, so he sent clark clifford to see me. i think clark clifford was really nervous because he tried to persuade me not to do it, which jack ever said. he said you just can't touch the white house. he said it's so strange. everyone in america feel so strangely about it. if he turned to make any changes, it'll just be like that. he said it won't be like the truman and i told them about harry dupont and all the people we hope to get. so banal and bit by bit in how you set this committee up and certainly go things. and the cards very good about setting up a guide room. so once jack saw what was going on wizard of good counsel, he was so excited about it. >> was there ever any criticism of the things that she didn't know? >> there is the most incredible interest. and then the tourists would start going. every night i would come home, saying we have more pe

kaiser was talking to the white house.o all we're seeing to the white house is, there's enough smoke here that we would like to see the rest of the e-mails about the top advisers in there, including ron klein, rahm emanuel -- >> forgive me for interrupting. that is covered in the subpoena. these are 2010 documents. the loan approved before that. these are after the loan. you still don't have any, sir in your possession, that you can see here's a document that proves despite the warning signs, despite the objections of some of the administration to this loan, somebody overruled it because of pure politics. you can't prove that. can you? >> well, no, and we're just trying to get the documents. not necessarily to prove that, but to try and, shall we say, understand the people in the white house, what was their influence? did they influence this because of political reasons as you talk about or was it they were so hell bent in solyndra being the poster child, first loan guarantee, they forgot about all reasoning including the

white house window, ofse. it seems to have been an incredibly lucky shot that he actually managed to hit the glass from 750 yards way in what was essentially spraying the building drive-by style. although, he did have a scope on the rifle. >> warner: i mean, what kind of security is there and what kind of exposure does the white house have to the public street? >> reporter: the white house can be seen from constitution avenue, which is sort of the main street along the drive, which is lined by historic buildings and monuments. the ellipse is a round, grassy area that's between the south lawn of the white house and constitution avenue. and across from that is the washington monument on the national mall. so this is a sort of very picturesque part of washington, d.c. tourists love to take photographs of this. there are not trees at that point that would block your view of the white house because that's yet famous shots of the white house are all taken-- that and the other side of the building on pin pen avenue,

white house is trying to cooperate. republican after republican today said the white house has refused to give us anything? it's just not true. in my experience in congress, i've never seen a situation where, on a bipartisan basis, when somebody asked for more time you didn't give them more time. we could have given them a little bit more time. it's clear we're getting the information. why is the white house still saying they don't want to comply with all the information that has been requested? because the information requested is so broad that it could be a violation of executive privilege. the white house has not claimed executive privilege, but if someone is discussing whether the president should go to solyndra's factory and then all these different people in the white house are involved with logistics and the president is invited to contact summit on the staff, that's just the information that is pertinent to our investigation. it becomes a fishing expedition. it intrudes on the prerogatives of the presidency. the

let's drill down into the number among white voters.ble and unfavorable numbers are tied at 48%. but among white pennsylvania voters without a college education, these are the important group, there's a lot more of them, by the way, those people without college educations in pennsylvania. the slit is large. look at that. 38% favorable of the president and unfavorable, 57%. that's almost 60/40, and maybe it's worse than that. it's roughly 60/40 against the president. do you feel that when you go across the state, senator? >> i do, chris, and it's -- it's a very tough time for people, and especially folks that have lesser education. they tend tonight ones that are most adversely impacted by this economy. that's another reason why passing this payroll tax cut is really important because what it -- what we're saying is that the cut from last year from 6.2 down to 4, we're going to take that even lower, so, in other words, you're cutting the payroll tax in half for workers and for businesses this. will directly and disproportionately in a ve
