didn't have a voice, who were ignored, who didn't get the best schooling, who didn't get the best roadsticians didn't pay attention to, now they can hear ourselves -- we heard ourselves, i'm not removed from that, hear ourselves or not radio and hear our story through these songs. >> charlie: you wouldn't be sitting in that chair if you hadn't loved to rhyme and been good at it. and also, had been lucky. because so many people that you knew in your generation didn't make it to 41. >> absolutely. yeah. it took a bit of all that -- it took a bit of a blessing from god to have a talent -- i had a talent. my first album didn't come out until i was 26 so for so long i ignored that talent, it took a bit of you luck because the people i was with daily was -- a personal friend of mine, you know, went to jail for 12 years and me and him would be together every single day, so i know that that same fate was awaiting me -- we would have got picked up at the same time had i not been away or been in london somewhere pursuing music, i would have been in jail for 12 years. >> charlie: so you had some n

who yells the loudest. i want to know who stand there's with me, but really isn't.s me understand my position on the chess board. it helps me understand where the enemy camp is and where these who are inside the tent are. >> it's all strategic? >> it's all strategic. >> none of those things were mistakes, it's all strategic. and michael steele has looked into the tents that the enemy pitched on the chess board, he found something very surprising in those tents. today he messed up everyone in washington's expectations that today he would quit. instead he announced he will be running again to stay chairman of the republican party. even as the republican party's infrastructure teetered. even as the republican party just gave up on its famed 72-hour get out the vote program for this election. even as people who worked with michael stekchael steele at the screaming to papers. even as the donors' money got spent at a lesbian themed strip club in west hollywood. remember that? even after all that, michael steele has announced he wants to hang on. he took a trip to guam and

, and who rallied and who marched and fought for change. i want to thank everyone here who stood with them in that fight. because of these efforts, in the coming days, we will begin the process laid out by this law. the old policy remains in effect until secretary gates, admiral mullen, and i certify the military's readiness to implemented the repeal. it is important for service members to remember that. i have spoken to the service chiefs and they are all committed to implementing this changed swiftly and efficiently -- this change swiftly and efficiently. we're not going to be dragging our feet to get this done. [applause] with any change, there is some apprehension. that is natural. but, as commander in chief, i am certain that we can effect this transition away that -- in a way that only strengthen our military readiness. people look back on this moment and wonder why it was ever a source -- people will look back on this moment and wonder why it was ever a source of controversy. i have confidence in the professionalism of our service me

who do you stand for? who do you -- who are you fighting for? who are you standing with? is it because you believe this country only works if you put a lot of money in at the top and it will trickle down to everybody? i mean, i've never believed that worked. i believe if you give the american working family something to work with, the percolate-up theory, give the american family something to work with and that american engine will do just fine. let me just make the case that the -- and i don't mean this in a partisan way but i think it's important to say that these tax cuts, since they were proposed in 2001 and the run-up in the deficit that came with it and the creation of a sick economy, it is the lowest average annual percentage increase in job creation of any president since the 1940's. i'm talking about the bush presidency. he proposed very large tax cuts, the bulk of which goes to the wealthiest americans, and the result is the lowest average annual percentage increase in job creation of any president since the 1940's. now, i -- i did vote in 1993 -- that's a long

supported this, who had earmarks in. if we say we have to support a levee in mississippi in order to make sure my kid, who is out in the middle of iraq and afghanistan, gets what he needs, i'm going to say yeah. i don't want to do it, but i may have to do it. it depends on the proportions. it depends on what's at stake. harry just reinforced the point we've been making. we don't like earmarks. the democratic leader is criticizing the president of the united states because we don't want earmarks. >> you may not like it, but there's no veto threat? >> there is. it depends on the proportion. it could be very well that you end up in a situation where you say in order to support the troops in afghanistan, we have to accept an earmark and that's what the congress sends us. are we going to veto a bill that harms our troops? no. conversely, if we could take a chance on losing on, yeah, we would veto. >> as we sit here today, a repeal of the ban on gays and lesbians serving in the military, it looks like, will be successful. it w

there is a woman who has five kids. she is a nurse. one beautiful spring day she is sitting on the stoop, and she is reading of friends hair, and the police say, do believe -- she is braiding of friends hair, and the police say, and you realize there is a no loitering sign, and she offered to get off, and they arrest her. they bring her before the judge, and they give her a $25,000 bail. she is never given an attorney, and she sits in jail for eight days. she has a relative take care of her five kids. eventually, she comes before the judge. the judge says, we will give you a couple hundred dollars as a fine, if you plead guilty, and we will call it a day. she says ok. she pleads guilty, and she thinks to herself, i will never pay the fine, and she gets the guy who also pleaded guilty, and they have a big party. they thing, this is all over with, and a couple minutes -- a couple years later she applies for public housing, and she is rejected because she has a criminal record. she had been loitering that day, and she is not eligible for

i know that there were people who have lived there for a number of years who are in favor of the project. but there were certainly many who have lived there 20 years or more, long-term residents who have resided in these units. i share their concerns about what the future for them will be. we will continue our conversations. there is a development agreement that the city has drafted. we will be hearing more about that. we will be hearing more about some of the transportation and other issues. i am concerned with even the mental health of the folks living there currently. it is a stressful situation not to know what the future looks like. if you have lived in an area 20, 30, or 40 years, and then to have to live with this kind of cloud of not knowing when and if and how -- it can create a lot of stress for folks. i think a lot of the fears are legitimate that we were hearing today. when i hear that there are some people who came in the speaking in favor of the project, but i am not convinced that we're hearing from people who live in dense developments themselves. i think it is easy to sa

who would do anything for change without profit? i think that this, they are aiming in the future to sustainable living. they are kinder than people have made them out to be among the sustainability committee. i get to see some of this firsthand. i see them doing this. people go to these functions and they enjoy them. i think that they are considering birds and animals, and the plants, that should be in this area. they attract the birds and animals that should be here. lake merced will benefit. i just think that we need to start looking for. thank you for your time.

who is jewish and five my mother by affection, charity abigail bailey who is african-american.urse of that childhood we spent a year in haiti and as a household of four women, because i have a sister as well, much less our racial composition we were quite noteworthy. in this childhood, i was schooled to accept and be proud of my otherness from the rest of conventional 1950s, 1940s, 1950s united states and i was also schooled to speak truth to power, as they say, and to be frightened by that but also to accept that this is something i had to do. one of the things that i found fascinating working on this book as an editor was that many of the white women, not all, but many of them, perhaps most had had prior experiences of crossing cultural boundaries and head -- many of us had experiences do not with race and racism, which for most people, white people in the united states was not particularly true, particularly in the 1950s. the other thing that all of us in the look or most of us regardless of race shared was some sort of social or political at the fest experience. my experien

and those who have given up. almost four years ago in the 2006 election, the american people provided the democratic party leadership with control of the congress. in the 2008 election almost two years ago the american people provided the democratic leadership with the largest majorities in more than a generation. they also provided the democratic leadership with the a -- with the president of their party. the democratic leadership 20 the period of 2001 to 2006 thwarting efforts to make the bipartisan tax relief of 2001 and 2003 permanent. upon assuming control they spent almost four years with no legislation, a you can see on this chart, to make permanent or even extend the marginal rate cuts and family tax relief packages. no senate legislative action. no senate committee and floor action. no senate action until this late lame-duck session partisan jam votes. senate democratic leadership needs to engage. engagement is defined as a construct ifl activity with -- constructive activity with the goal of changing th
