>> absolutely. because, given the economy, there's no doubt that, you know, whatever happens on your watch, you've got -- >> you embraced that pretty quickly. >> i don't mind. i'm used to being an underdog, and i think that at the end of the day, though, what people are going to say is, who's got a vision for the future that can actually help ordinary families recapture that american dream. >> and that was from abc news. when the president was asked which two words he would use to replace his 2000 campaign theme of hope and change, he said values and vision. president obama tells abc news he does not regret the loan to a solar energy company that later collapsed. he is defending the loan as new e-mails revealed the administration was worried about solyndra even before the president visited it in may of last year. in one e-mail a white house official writes, i increasingly worry this visit could prove embarrassing to the administration in the not too distant future. and president obama says he'll keep pressure erg congress to pass his jobs program. eric cantor is rejecting the president's call for a vote on the jobs bill this month calls his all or nothing approach unreasonable. if you watched monday night football last night you may have noticed something was missing. >> are you ready for some football! >> espn skipped the famous, "are you ready for some football" opening, part of the broadcast over 20 years. earlier in the day, hank williams got himself in trouble for comparing him to hitler on fox news. williams released a statement saying he was misunderstood. espn said its not sure yet whether the song will be back next week. the epa testing for possible toxic vapors after this eruption outside dallas yesterday. massive plumes of black smoke just pouring from this plant. you could see it from 50 miles away. it happened as workers inside were mixing chemicals. the plant says all employees are safe. the epa told cnn that initial ground level air tests don't show any elevated toxic chemical levels. drivers in san diego, california, are being told to look out for a gunman considered to be "very dangerous." according to police, a man has been shooting at people along interstate 805. at least one person hit. fortunately, his injuries are not life threatening. >> even opened fire on an ambulance. >> unbelieve al. we remember from the washington area, snipers. a sari thing. random shooting at drivers. and spreading to boston, about 60 people marched to raise awareness about the millions struggling in today's economy. other demonstrations taking place in los angeles, chicago, and, of course, new york, where protesters have been camped out for more than three weeks now, and i have seen my fair share of protests down on the new york stock exchange, on wall street down there, but this is the longest. they take the cake for the longest. >> absolutely. also the longest one not to have honed in on a message. a unified message. >> there we go. >> i'd be very eager to see what the whole group would like to see done?

it was as meredith kercher's family said, two years ago it was a solid case? >> reporter: if you looked at the evidence it was not a solid case at all. i went there, looked at the evidence, the dna reports, looked at the so-called confession and how that came about. look, this was a bloody rape/murder scene that took place in a very tiny bedroom, and in that bedroom was the dna all over the place ever the one person who was convicted and is serving a prison sentence for the murder. there was no forensic evidence in the murder scene linking amanda knox or raffaele sollecito to the crime scene. what the original trial came up with, minuscule pieces of genetic material, one found on a knife not found at the crime scene. the other found on a rock glass. neither one ever those pieces of evidence was any good. that's when this case fell apart. the very tiny bit of forensic evidence that this prosecution clung to was thrown out, and that, indeed, broke the hole on this whole case and that's what the appeal was based on. >> drew, we'll stay with you as the story develops. amanda knox will be showing up soon with the next several hours in seattle. drew griffin with us. and this morning in detroit in the trial of the so-called underwear bomber. charged with trying to blow up a northwest flight on christmas day in 2009 with a device hidden in his underwear. he's insisting on defending himself at trial. abdulmutallab linked to the american born cleric anwar al awlaki just killed last week in a drone attack in yemen. and a not guilty plea from the 26-year-old intending to fly a model plane into the capital with explosives. he was arrested in boston and charged with attempting to provide support for al qaeda for attacks on u.s. troops overseas. on the first day of the new term, the supreme court turned away an appeal from an ohio judge who wanted to post a copy of the ten commandments in his courtroom. the aclu brought the lawsuit saying it was against the separation of children aurch an if congress can't agree, the consequences could be disastrous for america's military. this said as part of an exclusive interview with cnn's erin burnett. we have it for you after the break. and chris christie's decision could come down to his wife, mary pat. a close are look at spouses on the campaign trail. it's 35 minutes after the hoyer.

>> i think she's probably the key decider. they have four children. they have -- you know, she's got a career. she's a bond trader at cantor fitzgerald, she's been working part-time while she's the first lady of new jersey. i think she's a full partner of her husband, a professional parser in. they've been married 25 years, but i'm sure she has a good sense, as any smart woman who does her research, that it is a grueling process, and then it is a very tough gig. once you are actually there. >> yes. reportedly mary pat christie spoke with barbara bush and went over the pros and cons with her husband to help him decide. here's a strong woman with, you know, a working mother essentially, a part-time working mother with her own career. does she -- is she an asset for him if he decides to run? >> yes, i'm sure she'll be an asset it him. she seems to be outspoken and engaged, and if you are going to run for president of the united states, whether you are a man or a woman, you'd better have a partner who is fully committed and will support you every step of the way. because the job is tough enough without having that support. so i think she becomes an asset and i think she also can appear to -- i think the american people really like to see that there is a spouse backing up that principle. >> you know, it's interesting, because the secret weapon in this particular presidency right now is often said to be michelle obama, the current first lady. that the president's approval numbers had not been good. in our latest polling showing about 45% of the approval rating. she's going to have to work hard for her husband. it is gruels. it can be difficult, i'm sure, to watch somebody you love, especially with things not going their way with polling. cou do you think her role will have to change? we're looking for the running mate, quote/unquote, for the republican side? >> i think her role has to change somewhat from what it did in the 2008 election when she hadn't done this before. look, there's a learning curve for everything and she is going to be a much more effective campaigner this time around. she's more confident, because she's had the last 2 1/2 years to carry out her own platform, to speak ot on his behalf. she's an extrovert. she likes crowds. she seems to enjoy people. seems much more comfortable than in the past, ann romney is that same kind of candidate as she stumps for her husband for the republican nomination. so i think that she's an asset. look, women usually maintain bet are approval ratings because they are not exactly in the line of fire and that's helpful. they can also really hurt the main person running, but -- >> and that's the key. to be someone who's a draw for the person who's run, but also not to have anything that could be seen as a negative, for maybe people who were undecided and decided there was something about that running mate they didn't like. you mentioned ann romney. maintains her own busy campaign schedule. going full force out had. you wrote a piece in the "the washington post" about her. how does she gain support in the party? >> she plays the same role michelle obama can play for her husband. both of those men are sometimes seen as utterly competent but distant. not always able to understand the problems of people who are out there struggling, and both of them serve to verify that tore their husbands. they can speak about the man they say and what they know is in his heart. he's supposed to talk about the issue, but they can talk about the man behind those issues and i think they both do that. she does very very well for mitt romney. she's very approachable and reachable and can be a little more outspoken and make jokes that he can't exactly. >> let me ask you quick about anita perry who pushed her husband to run. sometimes these political ads must have a conflict at their core about getting into all of this. >> i'm sure they all have a conflict at their core. face it, you'd have to have a complete lack of self-awareness to not have some conflict to either run for president or run for president and supportive as a spouse. i'm sure she's got a conflict and particularly for these people for whom it's the first time around, and i'm sure this is a part of mary pat christie's figuring. you have no idea the level of scrutiny that is coming your way until you live through it. >> and that's all to come for weren't of these candidates, if not a couple of them as we get closer. and the author of the book "the perfect life." nice to see you. good morning. >> thank you. defense secretary leon panetta is in the middle east trying to get israelis and palestinians talking peace again. before leaving, panetta sat down for an exclusive interview with cnn erin burnett on the premiere of her new show "out front" saying they can absorb deep budget cuts, but significant cuts to damage our national defense. >> if the congress is irresponsible enough to suddenly turn on trying to sequester idea because they failed to meet their responsibilities, that would clearly damage our national defense, because that formula says we're going to do it across the board in some sort of blind fashion that basically hits everything and makes us wack across the board. it's going to result in rifts. it's going to result in not only force reductions, it's going to result in hollowing out the force and that, frankly, we cannot tolerate. we still face too many threats out there to weaken our defense. >> premiere week continues tonight on "out front." erin burnett goes one on one with treasury secretary tim geithner tonight right here on k cnn. and the man who saved apple and changed the world. steve jobs. how did he do it?

>> reporter: right. and you know, i think what's interesting, as you're seeing these e-mails coming out as part of a congressional investigation, there were concerns not only with the administration but also outside the administration even as solyndra was about ready to get more than half a billion in a federal loan guarantee. in the latest e-mail that was made public, you have steve westley, who is an obama fund-raiser and also an investor who wrote to obama's senior adviser valerie jarrett saying in part, "a number of us are concerned that the president is visiting solyndra. i just want to help protect the president from anything that could result in negative or unfair press. the president should be careful about unrealistic forecasts that could haunt him in the next months if solyndra should hit the wall, files for bankruptcy, et cetera." the president went ahead and did visit the company touting green jobs and about a year later the company did grow belly up. in an interview with abc news, the president defended the decision to provide the company with more than a half billion dollars in taxpayer money. >> you know, hindsight is always 20/20. it went through the regular review process and people felt it was a good bet. the fact of the matter is, if we don't get behind clean energy, behind advanced battery manufacturing. if we're not the ones creating the cars of the future, then we're not going to be able to make stuff here in the united states of america. >> reporter: the president pointing out in this sector it was always understood not all of these kinds of companies will succeed, and, again, stressing the fact that in order to compete with countries like china, other countries that heavily subsidize these ventures, that this was the right decision to make, but nonetheless, there is a lot of concern and a lot of questions still about what was behind this. why this loan guarantee went forward, even though there were all of these red flags. ali? >> what is on the schedule, dan, for the president today? >> reporter: well, this is still hanging over the president's head. he hits the road, as you know, he's been doing over the past several weeks, pushing his jobs act. pushing congress to act on it. he heads to a suburb outside of dallas where he'll be visiting a school and talking about how money from this jobs act will not only put teachers back to work, employ teachers, but also help in terms of infrastructure jobs in rebuilding or modernizing some of the country's schools. >> all right. dan, thanks very much. dan lothian at the white house. all right. ahead on "american morning," what happened to, are you ready for some football?

>> because the decline of the marriage rate seems to have hurt the men more. in marriage, men work harder, are more responsible. they behave better. women seem to behave pretty well inside and outside a marriage. men need marriage perhaps more than women, despite what traditional conventional wisdom said. what we're seeing now is the first generation history coming into adulthood, where women have more education, more achievement and more ambition than men, and they're leaving men in the dust, but it's not something that -- some men in the dust -- it's not something that a lot of women, even feminist are celebrating because they would like to see better men, stronger men, more responsible. >> could be a relative trajectory. men ruled for so long. right?

the investigation worked on the basis that there was more than one killer. if it wasn't amanda and raffaele the big question reoep oened for the kercher family, there are people out there who have been associated with the killing of their daughter. >> police and prosecutors say about that because they were convinced these are the two. now that they have been released, do they start looking for other people, will they reopen the case? have they said what they're going to do about that? >> certainly from the prosecutor's point of view, they're going to appeal this decision by the appeal court here. they've got one more opportunity to do that. they can take it to the supreme court of italy, they intend to do that. only when the judges on the supreme court make their ruling will a final end be made to this terrible case when it comes to amanda knox and raffaele sollecito. they fully accept these findings. >> matthew, thank you very much for that. amanda knox headed from rome to london and from london she is expected to go to seattle. we don't know the flight details, but it appears by the end of the day, she will be in seattle. >> one man in prison for this attack and this murder. 16-year sentence he is serving. according to a friend of the family, the first thing amanda knox wants to do when she gets home to seattle, lay down in a green field. she could get that chance as soon as tonight. she is on her way home right now. earlier on "american morning" we spoke to thomas wright, the founder of the group called friends of amanda. he spent years trying to win knox's freedom and he had no idea when she's touching down in seattle, he is determined to make a splash when she arrives. >> we're joking that we're going to have a flash mob celebration. that is, at the very last minute, they'll tell us where to go and we'll be there with bells on and balloons and have a great celebration. >> the city of seattle preparing for a long-awaited homecoming, one day after the murder conviction was overturned by an italian court, amanda knox is on her way home. drew griffin standing by in seattle for that homecoming. any closer to knowing when that is going to be, drew? >> looks like some time between 3:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. pacific time. the family, what we're gathering from representatives here a news conference or welcoming ceremony at the airport. we will hear from the attorney and we will hear from a spokesperson and we also hear from amanda knox's parents. whether or not amanda herself reads a statement, ali, that will be entirely up to amanda. a decision that they are going to leave to her as she flies back here to seattle. but it looks like late this afternoon. it was just yesterday, you know, a lot of her friends and supporters had gathered in this kind of a hotel room suite to watch the verdict. when that verdict was announced, boy, they just erupted in jubeulation and spoke about how happy they are. finally after all this time amanda knox is coming back home to seattle. >> four years in the cominging, it's been a torturous. torturous robbing of two innocent people's lives but also meredith lost her life, you know. it's just tragedy all the way around. >> i just want to get her home. i want amanda home with her family. >> she is a proliffic letter writer and wrote to a lot of people here in seattle. but also, ali, every saturday morning amanda knox would get a ten-minute phone call to seattle. her friends, we're told, will gather around a single phone with all her family and they'd share those ten minutes a week together and try to keep this connection going. obviously, all those people involved in the phone calls, the letter writing, the support are going to want to see her back here later today. >> drew, so we're focusing on the homecoming but at the same time the kercher family is very upset. they're shocked. they say they still feel there could be someone else out there. there is a man in prison for this. >> yeah. >> investigators all along said they thought there were other people involved. but you know this case inside and out. does there need to be a new investigation for who may have helped the man who has been convicted of this? >> no, i feel terribly sorry for the kercher family, but they're looking for people who are not out there based on the evidence. the only "evidence" that this was more than one person involved in the attack came from the dreamed up version from the prosecutor who felt there was no way that this woman could be held down and cut with a knife at the same time that there was some kind of a molestation or a rape going on. it was all kind of a made-up theory. the forensic evidence, the dna evidence, the genetic material all points to just two people who were in that room. meredith kercher, the victim, and rudy guede, the man serving time in prison. there was nothing else. interesting to see what the kerchers have to say, but i think they have to look at how this case was developed from the start. they were fed a bill of goods by the prosecution in italy and under the assumption that amanda knox was part of this. really, she wassant. the evidence is just not there. >> because of that theory, those shadows, even among the people around the courthouse still persist. the questions and the doubts. drew griffin, you know this better than anybody. good to see you, thank you. >> we'll stay with drew throughout the day as amanda knox prepares to arrive in seattle, as he said, later this afternoon between 3:00 and 6:00 p.m. pacific time. new documents leaked to cnn appear to show that attorney general eric holder was aware of the controversial, so-called fast and furious gun running operation. as far back as july of last year. now, that directly contradicts holder's testimony to congress. under the fast and furious operation, atf agents allegedly allowed thousands of weapons to cross the border and fall into the hands of mexican drug cartels. a high-level justice official tells cnn that holder never misled lawmakers when appearing before the senate back in march. this was supposed to be a sting operation and supposed to go to these cartels and they were supposed to do something about it and, ultimately, the weapons just got into bad hands. >> they were tracking these guns and in the end, you're right -- >> ended up arming the cartels. >> two of these guns were found nearby. president obama telling abc news he does not regret the $500 million loan to the now bankrupt company solyndra. plenty of folks within the administration were concerned about the firm's shaky finances. our dan lothian is live at the white house. dan, that is the most unfortunate photo op for a struggling president, isn't it? >> this is not something an administration and certainly a president who is running again in 2012 wants to be dealing with right now. the president wants to very much be focused on job creation, on pushing his jobs act, but, instead, a lot of questions being asked about what this administration new and what action they took leading up to that loan guaranteed to solyndra. the questions being raised not only inside the administration, but outside the administration, according to these e-mails that are part of this congressional investigation. new details in the latest e-mail coming from an e-mail exchange between an obama fund-raiser and a california investor writing to senior adviser valerie jared in may of last year that says, "a number of us are concerned that the president is visiting solyndra. i want to preblth the president that could result in anything from negative or unfair press. . the president should be careful about unrealistic, optimistic forecasts that could haunt him." about a year later the company went belly up. even so in an interview as you pointed out with abc news, the president defended the decision to back solyndra. >> you know, hindsight is always 20/20. it went through the regular review process and people felt like this was a good bet. but, the fact of the matter is if we don't get behind clean energy, if we don't get behind battery manufacturing and if we're not the ones creating the cars of the future, then we're not going to be able to make stuff here in the united states of america. >> the president said it was always clear that not every one of these green nnchlg adventures would succeed and some would fail and solyndra was an example of that. nonetheless, he said it was necessary to go ahead with a deal like this because in order to compete with places like china or other countries that heavily subsidize companies in this sector, the united states really has to make this investment, christine. >> a few others, i believe. and the point here that supporters of this deal say is that, quite frankly, you can't just turn a blind eye to this whole area. it's a competition -- >> that's a discussion that is sort of separate and apart, dan. it's unclear that the white house has made this distinction. we're going to go into risk ventures to compete with china and question whether that's the government's role or private sector's role. they had distinct warning that that could happen to this company and the white house hasn't been clear on both of those positions separately. >> right. that's one of the criticisms that you're hearing out there. but what they're trying to put forward is that there was nothing overly political about this decision. that this was vetted the same way that many others that did succeed were vetted. and that this is just part of the process. when you looked at starting or investing in a company outside of something like this, there's always the possibility that it could fail and this was one of those cases. >> it's true that the bush administration declined to go forward with this loan, right? >> that's right. i mean, there were concerns even then. you look back as you're seeing the traffic on this, that there were concerns dating back quite a while about this company, whether or not it would have any sort of long-term sustainability. but as the president pointed out, you know, 20/20 hindsight. when you look back at something, maybe you would have done it differently at the time based on the information they had and even though there were flags that were raised about this, red flags that were raised. they still felt this was something they should move forward on. >> some say it was sloppy stimulus and just lowing money without doing due diligence and u others say a strategic industry that they were trying to get money to. any case, solyndra is bankrupt. dan lothian, thanks. if you watched monday night football last night, you may have noticed something was missing. espn skipped that famous, "are you ready for some football" opening. something that has been part of the broadcast for 20 years. hank williams was on fox news and made an analogy about president obama that, quite frankly, didn't go over very well. take a look. >> you remember the golf game they had, ladies and gentlemen, remember the golf game. that was one of the biggest political mistakes ever. >> why? >> that turned a lot of people off. >> boehner played golf with president obama? >> oh, yeah. yeah. biden and kasich, yeah. >> what did you not like about it? it seems to be a pivotal moment for you. >> come on, come on, like hitler playing golf with netanyahu. >> little unclear. not as unclear as the other comment he made when he called them the three stooges and the anchor said, who and he said, obama and biden. >> there's three stooges. >> that's right. hank williams jr. released a statement "some of us have strong opinions and are often misunderstood. my analogy was extreme, but it was to make a point. i was simply trying to explain how stupid it seemed to me. how ludicrous it was. they're polar opposites and it made no sense. they don't see eye to eye and never will. i have always respected the office of the president." a little math quiz about the three stooges. >> he's an entertainer. >> that's true. still ahead, a super bowl super secret. the sports and music world is abuzz this morning over speculation of pop superstars set to perform half-time for next year's big game. we'll tell you who it is. what is the world's most valuable sports team worth a whopping $433 million. for the first time, it's not manchester united. this one makes my heart beat really fast. duff mckagan has a new job these days. investment guru. it's our dream combo. mckagan founded a wealth management firm and he has already nabbed quite a few investors. how he kicked his hard party in ways and turned to finance. 16 minutes after the hour. we're america's natural gas and here's what we did today: supported nearly 3 million steady jobs across our country... ... scientists, technicians, engineers, machinists... ... adding nearly 400 billion dollars to our economy... we're at work providing power to almost a quarter of our homes and businesses... ... and giving us cleaner rides to work and school... and tomorrow, we could do even more. cleaner, domestic, abundant and creating jobs now. we're america's natural gas. the smarter power, today. learn more at anga.us. had a tree that bore the most rare and magical fruit, which provided for their every financial need.
