With scott pelley. Pelley good evening, what happens when your name is on a product and that product is not working as advertised . Well, ask the president. A cbs news poll out tonight finds his job Approval Rating has fallen to an awl time low since the october 1 rollout of the Health Care Law that he calls obamacare. Have a look. Only 37 of americans approve of the job mr. Obama is doing. That is down nine points since last month. Ha this that same time, approval of his Affordable Care act has dropped from 12 points has opped 12 points from 43 to 31 . John dickerson is our political director. Bill daly is in chicago. He was once the president s chief of staff. First to you, john. These numbers in the poll, what strikes you . What strikes me, scott, is that when the president has had low Approval Ratings number before like during the debt ceiling night 2011, people still thought he was trustworthy. Cbs asked last year and 60 said they did. Now only 49 do. Thats in part because of his broken promise that if you had insurance you liked you could keep it. This will make it very hard for the president to remarket his Affordable Care act or to sell other items in his agenda and this is a bruise thats going to keep getting hit because there are credibility tests to come. The president made promises about the law when he was selling it and hes made promises about the web site and those promises are still yet to come due. Pelley i want to ask you about Something Else that jumped out at us. Have a look at this. Only 7 think the Health Care Law should stay as it is. 48 said that it needs some changes. 43 thinks it should be repealed all together. Well, the president only has three years left in his term. I mean, the health law going to be viable. The 43 that want it ripped out, repealed, thats not too much more its not good for the president but its not too much more than that number was this summer. But the 48 that wants some changes, that explains why members of the president s party are pushing on him for modifications. What kind of modifications will depend on whether the site is working by the end of the month and whether people are getting signed up in enough numbers. If theyre not, theres going to be more pressure on him to fix it. Pelley let us bring in bill daley, mr. Obamas chief of staff from 2011 to twelve. Mr. Daley, this was the president s highest domestic priority. Should he have been asking more questions about whether it was going to succeed . Well, i think its pretty obvious that everyone. In the administration should have been asking more questions and i think the basically, scott, said that last thursday in his press conference. So his challenge right now, obviously, as john said is to get this back on track first of all with the web site and then just take it week day by day, week by week and try to rebuild the belief in that law working. And then addressing the sort of trust and trustworthiness problems that obviously came out in this poll. Pelley if you were still running the white house staff, would heads be rolling . Well, i think right now it doesnt do any good to start to chop heads off. Right now youve just got to plow through this. This is the most difficult part of it, that theres no easy fix to any of these things. Youve just got to keep going day by day forward, Dennis Mcdonough, the chief of staff, is a solid guy and he knows that. So theres no quick fix. These your numbers like john talked about may dropped quickly. They cant be rebuilt quickly. You have to understand that and plow forward. Theres no easy fix and no quick turnaround and i think thats what they understand and thats the dilemma. Theres no point you can look to in the next month to see a ten point jump up, at least not anything that they control. Maybe some event happens in the world that refocuses attention, but as far as what has to be done, theyve just got to grind through this day by day and begin to have some small successes and look for singles and doubles and no triples or home runs. Pelley Dennis Mcdonough the current chief of staff. Bill daley in chicago, John Dickerson our political director. Thank you, john. In new york today baseballs highestpaid and most controversial player stormed out of his arbitration hearing when the arbitrator said he will not order commissioner bud selig to testify. New York Yankee Alex Rodriguez is appealing his suspension for allegedly using performance enhancing drugs, or p. E. D. S. Heres jeff glor. Reporter Alex Rodriguez left the private hearing and aired his defense in public. Today i lost my mind. I banged a table and kicked a briefcase and slammed out of the room. Reporter rodriguez appeared on wfan radio in new york, which is also broadcast on the yankees television network. Were you guilty of any of these charges . No, and i shouldnt serve did you do any p. E. D. S . No. Did you obstruct anybody, any witnesses . Did you do anything that they accuse you of doing. No. Nothing . Nothing. So. So youre guilty of nothing. I feel like i should be there opening day. Reporter rodriguez was suspended for 211 games by Major League Baseball, a suspension he appealed. Whether you like me or not, whats wrong is wrong and the system is wrong and whether youre in federal court or state court or Kangaroo Court that we are today, players need protection. Reporter he says baseball commissioner bud selig is out to get him in part because rodriguez is still owed 86 million. 100 is personal and i think its about his legacy and about my legacy and hes trying to destroy me. By the way, hes retiring in 2014 and to put me in his big mantle on the way out, thats a hell of a trophy. Reporter Major League Baseball responded with this statement. Typically, players are not present at these hearings. Rodriguez chose to be for a time so, scott, the hearing will continue with or without him. Pelley jeff, thanks very much. It appears tonight that the United States is on the verge of an agreement with afghanistan that would clear the way for thousands of u. S. Troops to train and assist Afghan Forces after the nato combat mission ends next year. But there are a lot of ways this deal could go wrong and Jeff Martin David martin is following the story. Reporter secretary of state kerry emerged from a meeting with visiting dignitaries to announce a deal. In a series of conversations with president karzai and, in the course of this morning even interrupting some of our conversations that we reached an agreement as to the final language that the bilateral Security Agreement that will be placed before the loya jirga tomorrow. Reporter the loya jirga is a council of afghan elders and until the agreement is approved by them and the Afghan Parliament its not a done deal. U. S. Officials say there are two potential sticking points. One is president karzais insistence american troops should never search or attack afghan homes. Operations which in the past have resulted in the deaths of afghan civilians. But the u. S. Wants the right to send in its own troops, for instance, to rescue a captured american soldier. For that, karzai wants a letter from president obama expressing regret for past civilian casualties and promising u. S. Soldiers will only enter afghan homes under extraordinary circumstances. The second issue is immunity for u. S. Troops from prosecution under afghan law. Without it, the u. S. Will pull all its troops out. But president karzai said last month he didnt even discuss immunity with kerry during their marathon negotiating sessions and would leave the entire issue up to the loya jirga. The agreement says nothing about how Many American troops would remain in afghanistan after 2014. The president has not made a decision yet, but the number is expected to be around 5,000 to 8,000 compared to the present 48,000. Pelley david martin at the pentagon for us tonight. David, thank you very much. The news is often unexpected and something that no one expected happened today aboard a jetblue flight. Heres chip reid. Reporter it began as a routine flight as jetblue 1266 took off from fort myers, florida, this afternoon heading for boston with 73 passengers and four crew members on board. But about 10 minutes into the flight, suddenly the emergency evacuation slide at the left front of the plane just behind the cockpit deployed, expanding across the aisle and into the front galley. An emergency was declared and the plane was diverted to Orlando International airport where it landed safely and the passengers exited through a rear door. The embry air 190, a widely used passenger jet, was taken out of service for inspection. The National Transportation safety board is investigating. The sudden deployment of an evacuation slide inside an airplane during flight is rare but not unprecedented. In fact, scott, in july, 2008, it happened inside then senator Barack Obamas president ial campaign plane. No one was injured. Pelley chip reid in our washington newsroom. Thank you very much, chip. We have a clearer picture tonight of the destruction left by dozens of tornadoes that tore through the midwest on sunday. State officials in illinois say at least 900 homes were destroyed or badly damaged. In indiana, its about 400 in just one town, kokomo. Don dahler is there and we were struck by what he found. Reporter we found nancy finch picking through the debris of her childhood home on bell street.

There are thousands of people in this funeral procession marching through the streets of this hezbollah stronghold. Theyre here not just to mourn the dead but to show solidarity and what they see as a battle for survival. Lebanon is now braced for retaliation. The atmosphere was emotionally charged.

Kennedy as the nation marks the 50th anniversary of his assassination. They were joined by kennedys sisterinlaw ethel and the late president s only grandson, jack schlossberg. When the shots were fired in dallas 50 years ago only one secret Service Agent managed to reach kennedy. Clint hill is 81 now, but his memories are sharp and he shared them with us. He was assigned to protect mrs. Kennedy and hill was standing here closest to the first lady on the side of the car following the president ial limousine. As youre beginning the motorcade through downtown dallas, what is the crowd like and what are your concerns, if any . Well, the crowd had really grown. It was very large. They couldnt be contained on the sidewalk. They were 15 to 20 deep on each side of the street. Reporter what are you watching as the cars go through those crowds . Anybody thats out of the ordinary. That stands out. That isnt dressed like everybody else, that just appears different. Those are the kinds of things we have to make note of. Pelley as the motorcade turns on the dealey plaza what are you seeing . Immediately in front of us was the Texas School Book depository. We didnt see anything unusual and then when we started to straighten out and gain a little bit more speed was when i heard an explosive noise over my right shoulder. Reporter the four agents on the followup car snapped their heads toward the noise. The two on the right side assigned to cover the president now looked away from the limousine but as hill turned, his view crossed the president s car. I saw the president grab at his throat and move to his left and i knew something was wrong and so thats when i jumped from my position to try and get up on the top of the back of it to form a shield there behind president and mrs. Kennedy so no further damage could be done. Pelley walk me through it. Your foot hits the pavement and what happens . Well, i jumped off to my left, there was a motorcycle officer immediately to my left so i had to get between the motorcycle and the followup car to get to the president s car. The two cars were separated by about five to seven feet and so i ran as fast as i could. Later they told me there was a second shot while i was running. I hadnt heard it. And then just as i approached the president s car there was a third shot. It hit the president in the head. Pelley what did you see . Brain matter, blood, bone fragments all came out of the wound. Then mrs. Kennedy came up on the trunk. She was trying to grab some of that material and pull it back with her. I got hold of her and put her in the backseat and when i did that his body fell to its left into her lap. His head was in her lap. The right side of his face was up. I could see his eyes were fixed. I could see an area through the skull that there was no brain matter in that area at all so i assumed it was a fatal wound. I turned and gave a thumbs down to the followup car crew, i wanted to make sure they knew and then i screamed at the driver to get us to a hospital. Pelley thumbs down meant what . That it was a very grave situation. I assumed it was fatal and thats what i really meant. Reporter did you attempt to speak to the president . No, i didnt try to talk to him at all. And mrs. Kennedy, she only said a couple things when i was there. She said oh, i have his brains in my hand. And oh, jack, oh, jack, what have they done . I love you, jack. Thats all i heard her say.
