the brigade was really angry, right, willie? oh, yeah. >> all we do is read angry left wing and right wing blocks. didn't say they they were going to destroy these people. >> punished not just by the blogs but voters would run them out of town. what happened? >> progressives said they would put candidates up, that they were going to fund them, this would be a killer issue. none of those things happened. there were some candidates that were put up, but they didn't have enough money. they didn't have juice, and health care is not an issue in these races, and certainly opposition to health care isn't the problem. in fact, as your viewers know, not a single house or senate candidate, not one, is running an ad saying they're for health reform. >> so again, mike, no one of the house democrats who voted against health care was knocked out. >> not one. wow. >> so as we're looking ahead, we see that isn't going to be a killer issue. so many other issues now that democrats have to worry about. a shocking story that just popped on politico

willie? >> i think you've seen him fight every day for children.ever would have seen the massive amount of change without his moral leadership and him being willing to spend political capital. we all have to move. superintendents have to move. school boards have to move. politicians have been a huge part of this problem, dummying down standards. that's not unions doing that. that's politicians doing that. our department of education has been part of the problem. we're trying to become this engine of innovation. rather than pointing fingers, we have to step up. parents and students have to do more. everyone has to move. >> i understand that. it wouldn't be realistic for not to say that teachers unions have not been the chief impediment to school reform. have they not? >> some have absolutely been part of the problem. i always point out diane donohue, the head of the n efrnlthsza in delaware, an absolute profile in leadership, courage. she's willing to do the right thing by children. we announced last week, joe, over $400 million in teacher incentive

willie brown was mayor. i was in the middle of it all. right behind me and around me, they came up with this notion of the largest bond ever in the history of the city and county of san francisco. i was trying to figure out how i was going to deal with the supervisors and the mayor and everybody else. but one of the things about san francisco is that if there is a will there is always a way. if there is an interesting, there will always be a way to try and find avenues to help all of those individuals here in the city and county of san francisco. despite all of the differences, despite all the different interests, despite all of the political machinations you can imagine, which came together as a city and we passed that bond. in the history now is how do we move forward to provide the very, very best services for all those individuals here and those individuals who come? how do we honor the paths of those individuals who understood the importance of linguistic and cultural competence and all of those attitudes and values back there permea

[applause] before i bring her up, i have to ask one more question. almost all of you are residents of the state of california. where is the tobacco money from the state of california? it was much larger amounts of money because it was a whole state. do any of you know? it is just part of the hole in the state's budget. it went into the general fund. what do we have because of luis?

good morning, carolyn. >> good morning to you, willie. yesterday we saw the house passing quite a controversial bill that will put even more pressure on china to let its currency revalue at a faster pace. now, the bill passed quite easily with 348 votes to 79 and essentially allows the u.s. to levy tariffs on countries with fundamentally undervalued currencies. if the bill is signed by congress and by president obama -- which is unclear at this point -- it is expected to affect some $300 billion in goods coming from china this year alone. now, the chinese commerce ministry hit back at the bill right away. in a statement, it said, quote, china has never undervalued its currency in order to gain a competitive advantage. the u.s. cannot use its trade deficit with china as an excuse to adopt trade protectionist measures. so, willie, i guess there's no end in sight at this point on this trade dispute. on this note i'll send it back to you. >> thanks so much. that's a big story out of the financial world. >>> still ahead on "way too early," law

willie? >> let's go to chief white house correspondent for politico mike allen with a look at the politico playbook. let's talk midterms. house democrats spent a lot of time taking shots and mocking the republican pledge to america. now they've got to start defining their own message. why would things change all of the sudden if they're able to keep power? >> republicans are saying what do you got? so far it's a blank piece of paper. you'll remember back in 2006 when they became -- were running for the majority, they famously did their six for '06, what they would do when they're in office. but now you go to the democrats' website, it says moving america forward. under it is things they've done in the past. politico's jake sherman asked around to democratic strategists and he found them sort of in a defensive crouch not wanting to put anything out there because they said that would just make them vulnerable. of course, it's harder when your president is in the white house. you have to take yo

i think willie brown is a great location. i do not know when we will be able to open the school. it will be great to have mandarin emersion there. for the high school fair, it would be great to get our student advisory council involved. i think they would be perfect and would give really good feedback in terms of what they would have liked to of seen in eighth grade in helping to select a school since we're keeping the current city-wide process. for the members of the public that were not part of the process, the majority of high school students asked the week keep the city wide policy because they wanted the choice to go citywide. i am very worried about isa. that was the one pathway that concerned me the most. a lot of the others seemed to make sense, were contiguous. i liked that there were some schools like everett better really going to diversify going from 81% to 50%. i was concerned there was a significant drop for the same sub group for francisco middle school. given that we have malcolm x and carver going so far out, my one feedback would be whether we can consider havin
