in terms of communicating with wright, a coincidence bothers me that wright would speak up at this point. sweep that aside. i have a column in the post tomorrow morning. obama re-election strategy is to hype turn-out among african-americans, latinos and young people. to do that as opposed to hope and change like in 2008, is to stoke their fear and envy. not to promise change to african-americans but say you live in a white supremecist world. a cop can shoot your son anytime he wants to even if he doesn't have a gun. it's not tell latinos i'm going to hasten your integration to american society and increase your material wealth. instead it tells them there is another group of people that hate you. young people talk about the student loans and all kind of issues for them. it's fear and envy replacing hope and change. >> sean: they can't run on their record. i saw that reverend wright blames the media and president blames atm, kiosk, tsunamis, earthquakes, fox news, karl rove and sean hannity. what did you think of the rnc ad we played? it's powerful. >> it's great. the more you can use oba

jeremiah wright is back. the birthers are back. the race, no doubt, is going to be a fact oor in this year's election. here is what missouri congressman lisa hertse l l said when asked about president obama's birth certificate. >> i have my doubts about all that. i don't know. i haven't seen it. i'm just the same place as you are on that. you read this and read that. i don't understand why he didn't show that right away. if someone asked for my birth certificate, i say here it is. i don't know. they say it's real. >> the congresswoman later tried to soften her comments saying she was confirming this issue has been raised by many of her constituents. congressman cliff sterns of florida has also raised doubts about the president's birth certificate. the flack over his birth certificate has always been a way for conservatives to portray president obama as the other, so to speak. reverend jeremiah wright had some controversial things during sermons he delivered this weekend. the right wing is jumping all over it. wright hasn't been pre

wright. when you have the problems identified in the iscd memorandum appear to be related to hiring and developing staff to implement the program, including the lack of policies and procedures to guide staff efforts to do their jobs. please discuss whether you believe problems related to hiring and developing staff and a lack of related policies and procedures are a challenge to implementing the cfats program, and if so, why? and then give us your experience with how the employees were hired for cfats program. what is the history from your point of view? >> i think i'll start with your -- the second part of your question first. i have probably been around longer than any of the nppd leadership at the inception of the cfats program in hiring the inspectors. we were originally detailed from the fps workforce. so i did attend that initial class one day of a week-long course for the initial group of inspectors. and i think that was the initial what can now be be looked at as a setback. because th
