who's afraid of the new swine flu vaccine? a new poll this morning sheds light on that. coffee talk, starbucks betting on an instant hit. ♪ ♪ back in late 2008 the thing that was all the rage millions of you watched puppies ♪ >> and hot dogs is this video the formula to an internet sensation. well good morning, everyone. i'm alex wet weather. it's 11:00 on the east coast. we're tracking a number of developing stories. first we go to sex, secrets and videotape we're following two stories involving high-profile media celebrities targeted by criminals this morning and learning a lot of new details in both cases. first the new details about the alleged extortion case of "late night" talk show host david letterman. the accused cbs producer is free after posting a $200,000 bail, but if convicted, he faces up to 15 years in prison for allegedly trying to blackmail letterman. joining me live nbc's rehema ellis. good morning to you. let's get to the latest on all of this. >> alex, we can tell you that robert joe halderman, a prominent producer for cbs's "48 hours" program, entered a not guilty plea and then put up the money necessary to get out of jail. he left the courthouse without talking to reporters and he left his attorney to do the talking for him. >> he has an impeccable reputation. he was a producer at cbs for 27 years. he's 52 years old. he was a responsible member of the community. his roots are deeply placed in the tri-state area. he's a responsible person. >> his client halderman is charged with a messy and bizarre effort to blackmail doifds letterman for $2 million. the case forced him to issue an awkward confession that he had sex with women on his staff. reports say one is stephanie burkett who also appeared on the air and now it's reported that the connection here between letterman and halderman is burkett, that she was until last month recently living with halderman. the paper says according to executives with letterman's company, worldwide pants that letterman's relationship with burkett ended when he was married in march to a woman whom he had dated for many years and who also worked for him and they now have a young son together. another detail coming out today is one that one of the women letterman dated was an intern and no indication, however, that any of those women were underage at the time. >> you've mentioned a couple. reports today have even more women. >> i'm not sure if it's even more women or we're starting to get a name. this is starting to generate a lot of buzz on the blogs fear. a report by tmz says a woman came forward, her name, admitting to an affair with letterman when she was an intern in the 1990s. she interned on his show. and she says according to tmz she would have married letterman, but he end the the affair. >> okay. interesting to see what comes from all this. thank you for at least the starting point. the other big story we're following an arrest in the case involving sports reporter erin andrews, the woman secretly videotaped nude in her hotel room. police a have arrested 48-year-old michael barrett in chicago facing federal charges of interstate stalking for taking the nude videos and trying to sell them to tmz and posting the videos on-line. ap drews' attorneys are determined to press criminal charges for those responsible for the invasion of erin's privacy when alone in her hotel room. it's clear she was the victim of stalking and invasion of privacy in more than one location. joining me live from boston, former fbi profiler clint van zandt. >> good to be with you. >> i want to get your take on what happened here. how did this all go about? >> evidently, this suspect had made up his mind one way or the other that he was going to get some videos concerning her, some videos perhaps of her unclothed in her hotel room. he was able to stalk her, find out what hotel she was going to stay in after calling hotels all over at least two different towns, and then he was able to manipulate the peephole on the door so he could take it out, put his cell phone camera up at an inappropriate moment and take a picture of erin as she was in her own room by herself walking around sans clothing. he tried to sell it to tmz. they wouldn't buy it. so he just put it on websites where people could, you know, download it and look at it, total invasion of this woman's privacy by a stalker. >> okay. how could erin andrews or any high profile stalking victim have avoided this crude invasion of privacy? >> yeah. a number of different things. number one, if you're traveling, you don't want to be disturbed use an alias, a different name, stay in a different hotel, you know, if you're getting fan mail or e-mails from people that are inappropriate, save them because they start out nice if they get nasty, then the bad guy doesn't use his true name. at least you have the original one with the true name. and, you know, lastly look around the room. if you see there's things that you're uncomfortable with, like unfortunately now a peephole in a door, put something over it so that this can't happen again. >> okay. the fbi indictment against michael barrett suggests he might have video taped other women unnamed so far in a similar way. if the fbi is able to identify other victims what happens to barrett? more charges? >> yeah. more charges. each charge carries five years in prison. and, you know, we need to set a standard that you can't do this. i mean, this is not, you know, boys gone wild taking pictures and putting them. this is a total invasion. this could have ruined this woman's career. so yeah, i think the fbi needs to in this case pile on this guy. >> okay. clint van zandt, thank you so much for being with us throughout the morning. appreciate that as always. >> okay. for more information on how you can keep yourself safe when traveling logon to clint's website at lifesecure.org. a newborn baby boy snatched from his tennessee home by someone posing as an immigration agent has been found live and well in alabama. the woman suspected of taking baby yair anthony carillo is in custody and questioned by police. au a authorities say video from a walmart parking lot helped track her down. the baby's mother says the suspect entered her nashville home on tuesday posing as an agent and then stab herd eight times with a kitchen knife before taking her baby. the mother is recovering from that attack. president obama is offering his congratulations rio for winning the bid to host the 2016 games. spoking to reporters, the president said he was disappointed chicago didn't get the games but happy with the u.s. effort put forth there. quite a different story in brazil. it is going to be like carnival for a long time, how one 22-year-old brazilian put it after learning rio de janeiro was selected to host the games. an estimated 55,000 people gathered on rio's famed beach to celebrate the announcement and party into the wee hours of the night. let's go from there to politics. most economists say the recession is probably over but the latest jobs report reminds us that is not the reality many americans are living in. in the weekly address this morning, president obama reacts to the news that 263,000 more american jobs vanished in september. bringing the total lost during the recession to 7.2 million. >> yesterday's report on september job losses was a sobering reminder that progress comes in fits and starts and that we will need to grind out this recovery step by step. >> i'm joined live again from the white house by nbc's mike viqueira. final good morning to you. >> once more to the breeze, alex. >> how will the white house convince americans the economy is improving and its policies are helping? >> it's a difficult balance that the white house has to maintain on the one hand they say the stimulus package, the controversial $787 billion package is helping the economy and has saved literally millions of jobs according to joe biden, saved or created millions of jobs. on the other hand they have the continuing escalating unemployment figures, 9.5%, 9.6%, 9.8%, on a month-to-month basis announced for september just yesterday. the white house very difficult line that they have to walk here. all the while, trying to maintain those expectations, keep them high, or low as the case may be, saying they fully because unemployment is a lagging indicator, because the economy gets better before the numbers go down, that those numbers could exceed 10% before all is said and done. meanwhile, republicans continue to hammer the president, say the stimulus package is uneffective, some of his other priorities and initiatives like the energy bill, the cap and trade bill are job killers. here's candice miller, a republican from michigan, from a hard hit area that is facing high unemployment. >> democrats are actually redoubling their efforts to implement job killing policies that will stretch family budgets even further and pile more debt on our children and our grandchildren. of course, a costly government takeover of health care remains the centerpiece of democrats' domestic agenda. >> that's just what president obama tried to do today. he pivoted from the high unemployment numbers and said look, the reason we need health care is because this escalating cost of health care reform is because the escalating costs of health care are driving people out of the marketplace. if people want to go to another job, if they want to start their own business they can't do it. they can't take their health care with them. that is stifling the economy. so the president trying to paint the best picture and use this towards passage of his health care reform plan, alex. >> mike, another great effort from the white house, thank you. in just a few minutes the question, did president obama make a mistake by campaigning on the world stage to bring the olympics to chicago? pat buchanan and julien epstein will go through weighing in on that. also ahead, a text message to the world from the rubble of quake devastated indonesia. will this s.o.s. bring a rescue? from history, new images of a girl whose story survives dec e decades after the horrors of the loll low cause. frank on film when "msnbc saturday" continues. if i had to sit on a bench during the middle of a game due to diabetes it would frustrate me. in a basketball game a couple minutes could mean a big momentum shift. my bayer meter is very important. (announcer) only bayer's contour meter has programmable personal high low settings. it allows me to be able to look at my highs and lows to make sure that my diabetes is being controlled as tightly as possible. with my bayer meter i don't miss valuable game time. i'm alana burns and staying in the game is my simple win. (announcer) the contour meter, only from bayer. the only existing moving images of ann frank are on-line for all to see. the ann frank museum posted the 22nd footage on youtube and already attracted more than 720,000 views. this film was taken on july 22nd, 1941, just about a year before the frank family went into hiding from the nazis. a 13-year-old ann frank can be seen leaning over her balcony to get a better look at her neighbor who's getting married. ann died in a nazi concentration camp in march of 1945. rescuers are searching for survivors three days after the massive 7.6 earthquake. one victim sent a text message from the rubble of a collapsed hotel in the hopes of being found. rescuers have been frantically working to reach him. three more villages have been wiped out in indonesia by landslides. hundreds are buried. ian williams has more from the disaster area in padang, indonesia. >> reporter: one piece of encouraging news this morning, this road, one of the main arteries into town, has now reopened and aid is flowing into padang. but it is still pretty precarious. officials know that an aftershock could destroy what remains of this road at any time. this morning, aide workers have been coming into the city from around the world. we've seen teams from britain, germany, switzerland, bringing dogs and much-needed equipment to try and cut people out from where they're trapped beneath the rubble. they've been heading to a hotel in padang where 40 people are still thought to be trapped and where rescue workers believe they heard voices last night. also at a school yesterday, we saw two people rescued, two young women pulled out. that's been enormous encouragement to those rescue workers. now the indonesian health ministry believes that as many as 3,000 people could still be trapped under the wreckage, under the buildings of a collapse in padang. hence the urgent need for the equipment for rescue workers. encouraging news, aid flowing but it is a race against time. back to you. >> all right. thanks very much, ian williams for that report. for more oaten what happening with the -- on what's happening with the recovery effort check out msnbc.com. to politics and after five hours in copenhagen, pushing for a chicago olympics game, the president returns to the u.s. empty handed and facing a growing swirl of criticism for taking that trip in the first place. i'm joined live from washington by msnbc political analyst pat buchanan and julien epstein, former chief democratic council to the house judiciary committee. welcome back, guys. >> good morning. >> if the president did not go he would undoubtedly be blamed for not throwing his full weight behind chicago's bid. did michelle obama boil this down quickly when she said you're darned if you don't, you're darned if you don't? >> i think she did. i think the president was in a box. i think if he had not gone and chicago had narrowly lost he would have been blamed by chicagoans and others for not showing the same kind of loyalty the king of spain did and the prime minister of japan and the president of brazil, all of whom showed up. i think he was in a box but i will say this, alex, i don't fault him personally, but i will say this, he came home with egg on his face. whoever did the work on this and said, that chicago had it locked or chicago was on the 2 yard line, they really didn't do their research or their intel properly. the president's prestige has been damaged. the country's prestige has been damaged. he comes home with a lot of egg on his face. the opposition's going to be all over his case and so someone really did not do their work well. their due diligence for the president of the united states. >> what do you think, julien, in terms of the chicago politici politicianinpoliticians out there, some in hot water with the president of the united states? >> oh, i, i don't know. i think what we know now from what we've learned about the criteria the olympic committee was using it was a long shot for chicago to get the games in 2016. i think, you know, look, president bush campaigned for it as did president obama. if president obama had not gone he would have been blamed for not getting it. again, in politics a lot of times you're blessed by your opponents. what we saw on the news last night where republicans, you know, and rush limbaugh and glen beck and others, cheering about the fact that the united states has lost. so, a moment that is -- it may be a down moment for the white house, admittedly, is eclipsed by the fact you have republicans cheering the fact that the united states lost. i think the republicans really, really mishandled it. at the end of the day, this is something that's very good for the 24-hour cable news cycle if you will, alex. at the end of the day what people care about right now is if we get the economy back going again and a health care bill passed. those are the things that are going to measure whether or not this president is successful. >> you know, alex, there is something that -- to successful presidents are lucky. i mean ronald reagan had a lot of luck, but -- and it looks now with the chicago thing and again, it's not the president's fault, and i'm sure there was no backlash, i hope there was no backlash about him and the first lady visiting, but it looks like he's on a losing streak. things have not going well. the summer didn't go well with the health care bill. read this morning that climate bill is not going to get passed before another copenhagen meeting. there's a lot of things that seem to be going badly. when your luck goes badly one thing feeds upon another. >> the ceo of usa track and field had to say about the ioc's decision. here's the quote. this is an easy way for countries to express resentment toward us as a super power without suffering any consequences like having their foreign aid cut off or weapons program cut off. it's an easy way for them to express a great amount of displeasure. how much was this vote a political referendum on the u.s. and the way we're perceived about the world? i want both of you do weigh in on that. what do you think? pat, first? >> i don't doubt that anti-americanism is very broad and deep worldwide. there's a good piece in "the new york times" about it today that it has a long-standing credentials. i think obama's election for a time really helped the image of the united states and europe. it rose very rapidly. it's back up to where it was right after 9/11 when bush was president. but i do think there's an endemmic anti-americanism all over the world. there's problem in the u.s. ole limb pick committee. it probably did play a part. there are really countries around the world who cheer when the united states loses a soccer game, or loses a basketball game. >> julien. >> you know, i think there are some politics and i think there is a dynamic in the committee to give the games to countries that need it for the economic development, parly in today's economy. i would disagree with pat this president is on a losing streak. as we discussed in the last segment, this president has taken the economy from a negative 6% growth to probably positive 3% growth. the economy is now rebounding. we're about to past the most historic health care reform legislation in a generation. this president made more progress this week on the negotiations with iran than the previous administration made in eight years. so i think to say that president is on a downward slide, i would say with all due respect to pat, is a little bit of crocodile tears here. >> does this trip feed into some of the negative criticism always out there of the president doing stooch at once, his soaring rhetoric is not always followed by tangible results? >> i think it's nonsense. a week from now we will forget about this and start talking about is the economy coming back, can we get health care passed. the things that americans care about. you know, a week from now, a month from now, six months from now, people won't remember this. i think this is myopia and doesn't matter at the end of the day to most folks and won't matter at the end of the day to the obama administration and their political prospects. >> we'll have more in the half hour. i'm kind of hoping we don't have to talk about this more tomorrow there's not enough still building and we're done. but that's just me. in a moment, coffee lovers plus starbucks and the pursuit of instant gratification has the coffee chain come up with a home run? we'll take a look.

>> it sounds strong based on the alleges raised by the manhattan district attorney. letterman and his lawyer went to the government and had help in securing taped evidence of halderman making, they allege, an offer either pay me $2 million or i'll expose you. it certainly sounds like, unlike other extortion cases where there's ambiguity about motive, sounds like they have their ducks in order. halderman, a veteran television producer and investigative work knows how to pick criminal defense lawyers. he has an able lawyer and when that lawyer says there's more to this case we all know there's more to this case. >> it's different saying that in front of a podium to the news assembled media and doing so in court. how will he make his defense. >> you know that remains to be seen, but here's what i think is fascinating, halderman is the defendant and ultimately his choice, do i plead to a lesser sentence and get out of jail early or do i really want the government to make its case in court and if that's the case, then david letterman's camp may have something to worry about as this lewd evidence comes out as letterman has alluded to on the program. >> if it is the former none of this gets into the three ring circus of the court? >> it's high stakes poker. a lot know about this evidence. will anyone leak, will it come out in the normal course of discovery? i think it's multiple, three dimensional chess because we have the extortion case as new reports are coming out of other women who have had relationships with letterman and we're keeping an eye on letterman issues and that resolve as well. >> i want to go what worldwide pants had to say about this. one statement they've released reads the company behind the show, dave is not in violation of our policy and no one has ever raised a complaint against him. so, that being said, could letterman still be at risk for harassment claims if nobody has raised a complaint against him thus far? if somebody decides to now will the timing work against that person? >> i think the timing works in that person's favor. we're in the land of speculation. >> absolutely. >> let's play out this one fact which is letterman is now admitted to having relationships, sexual relationships, at work. you and i know that one of the barriers to bringing a sex harassment suit is it often devolves into a he said/she said story and a defendant in that case will make every effort to say this isn't really what happened it never happened and that seems to be a card no longer in the deck of letterman's camp now that he's admitted to this behavior, really all it would take is one woman, not necessarily a woman who's had sexual relations, it could be a woman who didn't and felt that hindered her advancement in the company. >> yes. >> the policy is one thing, but there are laws on the books about sexual harassment. it is going to take one woman who feels, again we're speculating, that what went on in that company was an environment that harmed her professionally. >> how about what we know about what's next? >> we know that halderman will appear in court in about a month and i think what we can expect between now and then is aggressive reporting as more information comes up about women who may or may not have had relationships with letterman at work. >> lisa green, as always a pleasure. love going through the legalese with you. the swine flu vaccine is said to be available in most places in a few days. a new poll shows more than half adults will get the vaccine for themselves. the survey by the harvard school of public health shows 75% of adults plan to get their children vaccinated. however, those numbers conflict with the study from earlier this week that shows only 35% of americans would definitely have their children vaccinated. what is next for afghanistan? well, president obama wrestling with conflicting options from his top advisors about the way forward in afghanistan. with violence there on the rise, the president is considering shifting course in the 8-year-old war. with me live, retired colonel, msnbc analyst jack jacobs. good morning to you. >> good morning to you. >> general mcchrystal in london this week who talked about the need for more troops prior to going to copenhagen. let's listen to what he said at that first point. >> the situation is serious and i choose that word very, very carefully. we need to reverse the current trends and time does matter. waiting does not prolong a favorable outcome. >> he was saying clearly this effort will not remain winnable indefinitely, that the situation is in some ways deteriorating. this is a blatant criticism here. how unusual is that? >> it's very unusual for a uniformed officer to speak the way general mcchrystal has. don't forget that the contents of his briefing memo were leaked last week in which it said essentially the same thing, responded to by vice president biden saying that general mcchrystal really didn't know what he was talking about, we're supposed to fight al qaeda alone and not care about taliban and then the secretary of state came down on general mcchrystal's side. it is very unusual for us to see this public squabbling. >> okay. then we know the president had that 25-minute face-to-face conversation in copenhagen. what do you, sir, think we should be doing in afghanistan? >> in an ideal world we pour as many troops as we can of the types that we require that include special forces, intelligence troops, and stay there as long as we need to in order to secure each of the areas that are dangerous, including pakistan. but that's an ideal world. that's not going to happen. it's particularly not going to happen when we're only months away from a mid-term election year and the congress is pressuring the president to not go overboard. as a matter of fact, to pull back from afghanistan because their perception is that there constituents will hold it against them if the president gets the united states involved in a long-term war in afghanistan, so there's lots of political pressure as well as military pressure on the president. >> okay. thank you very much, colonel jacobs. he's a legend on the links and a headliner in today's number one. what about tiger woods? we're going to find out ahead on "msnbc saturday." rt, alabama. i'm semi retired and i'm here to tell a story. my parents all smoked. my grandparents smoked. i've been a long-time smoker. you know, discouragement is a big thing in quitting smoking. i'm a guy who had given up quitting. what caused me to be interested was, chantix is not a nicotine product and that intrigued me. the doctor said while you're taking it you can continue to smoke during the first week. (announcer) chantix is proven to reduce the urge to smoke. in studies, 44% of chantix users were quit during weeks 9 to 12 of treatment, compared to 18% on sugar pill. today i see myself as a jolly old man, (laughing) who doesn't have to smoke. ...who doesn't have to sneak out to take a couple puffs of a cigarette anymore. (announcer) herb quit smoking with chantix and support. talk to your doctor about chantix and a support plan that's right for you. some people have had changes in behavior, hostility, agitation, depressed mood and suicidal thoughts or actions while taking or after stopping chantix. if you notice agitation, hostility, depression or changes in behavior, thinking or mood that are not typical for you, or if you develop suicidal thoughts or actions, stop taking chantix and call your doctor right away. talk to your doctor about any history of depression or other mental health problems, which can get worse while taking chantix. some people can have allergic or serious skin reactions to chantix, some of which can be life threatening. if you notice swelling of face, mouth, throat or a rash stop taking chantix and see your doctor right away. tell your doctor which medicines you are taking as they may work differently when you quit smoking. chantix dosing may be different if you have kidney problems. the most common side effect is nausea. patients also reported trouble sleeping and vivid, unusual or strange dreams. until you know how chantix may affect you, use caution when driving or operating machinery. chantix should not be taken with other quit smoking products. the urges weren't like they used to be, and that help me quit. (announcer) talk to your doctor to find out if prescription chantix is right for you. affect wheat output in the u.s., the shipping industry in norway, and the rubber industry, in south america? at t. rowe price, we understand the connections of a complex global economy. it's just one reason over 75% of our mutual funds beat their 10-year lipper average. t. rowe price. invest with confidence. request a prospectus with investment objectives, risks, fees, expenses, and more information to read and consider carefully before investing. chicago had the president, the first lady, even oprah, but in the end the 2016 olympics bid came up short and many chicagoans were stunned by their city's exit in the first round of voting. >> for it to be over that quickly, that stunningly fast, it just -- it's heartbreaking. >> i am surprised and i'm very disappointed. >> it's going to bring a lot of work, a lot of construction and a lot of jobs. >> i just don't feel good about it. >> chicagoan in chief barack obama says he's glad he went to copenhagen because it's always a worth while endeavor to promote the usa. >> one of the things that i think is most valuable about sports is that you can play a great game, and still not win. >> but did the president take a hit for his overseas forray to benefit his hometown? i'm joined from washington by alex burns, white house reporter for politico. good morning. >> good morning. >> do you see this as being an embarrassment for the president or not? >> in the short term it's a ace disappointment. the white house would have preferred for the president to have come home from denmark yesterday and said congratulations, america, you won the right to host the olympics. as you mentioned this is not something we're going to be talking about a week from now. if the president continues to have a difficult fall this might be seen as one in a series of disappointments but all indicates are he's about to rack up some pretty significant wins. >> what do you think the president's trip to copenhagen did to his image here at home? >> well, i think that as early as the presidential campaign when he was running against hillary clinton and the democratic primary there were some critics of then senator obama who said this guy thinks his sort of soaring rhetoric and forceful charismatic personality can accomplish anything and it can't. i think for the few americans who may still have believed that to be the case this is another reality check, that no matter how charming or appealing the president may be, politics is a complicated thing. and the international olympic committee's politics are probably as complicated as any out there and it was a tough sell. >> i was going to say, do you think we're overstating the world of international politics you and i frequently talk about versus that of the international olympic committee. how convolute ord interesting are those? >> i think it's easy to read this as a referendum on the united states or on president obama. at the end of the day i think you do just have to give rio credit. they put forward a good bid. the president of brazil didn't think he could overcome the appeal of president obama barack obama and the united states. >> one ioc member who suggested the president's presence there in copenhagen which created -- all the security, excessive traffic and blocked people from being about to get from point a to point b, do you think that might have annoyed them enough, can't deal and they voted accordingly? >> well there certainly was this aspect of the president's trip swooping in at the last second, waffling for several weeks about whether it was worth his time and effort to go and suddenly arriving at the last second with this spectacular whole setup that chicago had for him. it could have been offputting to some people. as the white house was trying to say repeatedly, reading the ioc and their responses to these things is really almost a fool therein. >> we're not going to go there. thank you very much. from politico. in a moment the formula for a number one mention here on "msnbc saturday." ♪ back in late 2008 the thing that was all the rage millions of you watched shibu ♪ ten. seven. it's six. why?

>> i tell you what the incentive was, i had no idea really that there were orphans living in our midst and about 15 years ago i was in print journalism and the condo association came to me and said they were building an emergency shelter across the street for foster kids and they told me that property values would go down. and i went and investigated this and i thought, oh, my goodness, i can't believe this is happening in america. there are kids in my own backyard that nobody wants. and from then on it became a passion for me. and it became a grass roots mission here in miami. it's just a wonderful thing. >> what is the goal of forever family? >> the goal of forever family is just to let people know that there are children in america, there are over 500,000 kids who are in foster care, but there are over 100,000 of them that are waiting right now to be adopted. and these are good kids. people have a perception about foster kids, for some reason they don't look at them as orphans, they look at them as they're in the system or they're some type of delinquents. you saw them in the story just a few minutes ago, these children are living in shelters or modern day orphanages, because people don't want to take them into their homes even on a temporary basis. and these are loving kids that need our help. and forever family need our help. we have a huge problem that when these kids don't find homes, they age out of the system at 18, sometimes in 11th grade in high school. now how do you move forward from there? and another big myth is that it's free to adopt these kids. it's not going to cost you $20,000, $30,000, $40,000. they can even go to college for free. but if you don't have a mentor, are you really going to fake advantage of that opportunity? probably not. >> how did that catch the attention of washington? >> congressman schultz contacted me in december just to learn about our program. because we have been on the air in south florida for 18 years and wanted to know how she could help. and congressman hastings nominated me for this award. and everybody, there's a movement here to help our children at home. senator nelson is involved, congressman waxman, secretary of state hillary clinton. people want to help and when they see that there's a program that can help, awareness is always key. we need to get awareness out there and we have major broadcast stations throughout the country now donating air time to get this word out. >> well, i think all you need to do is put out the voices of these foster kids and that last one said i just want to have family around me, so congratulations to you, founder and ceo of forever family. well done capturing the attention of everybody and i'm glad you came on the program to talk about this, good luck. >> thank you so much, thank you. and for all of you, if you want more information on how to get involved in forever family, their website is foreverfamily dot net. there's at least 7.2 million people not celebrating that the recession is over. 263,000 added to the ranks in just september. i'm joined now live from washington by msnbc preliminary analyst pat buchanan and former chief democratic council to the house judiciary committee. a good morning to you, my friends. how much time does the president have for a jobs turn around before widespread backlash over the economy comes his way? >> i think it's going to turn around pretty soon, but it doesn't look like it's going to. there are projections that unemployment will go over 10% in the coming here and it's endemic unemployment, this has been going on for 21 months, that is the longest period of continuing unemployment numbers coming in each month for 70 years. and a lot of those folks, of course, they're losing houses and things like that. this is as julian said earlier, it's a lagging indicator, but they have got to start turning it around pretty soon or what is happens now is going to affect the election of 2010 very negatively on the democratic party in the house. >> and julian, how much can the president's health care message really resonate when people are still losing their jobs and perhaps that is their primary concern? >> i think if health care gets past, it's very important for people losing their jobs, this health care will get added economic security. in terms of the big picture on the economy, there's no debate left anymore amongst main stream economists that the obama economic recovery plan is working. we have had a 9.6 change, from negative 6 to positive 3. the housing sector is showing signs of great health. business investment is up. and nearly everything is up. the soft spot of course is jobs, and this is the situation that the president inherited from the bad economy that he got from the previous guys. the good number to look at on the jobs issue is still we're at about 50% of the public thinks that the country is headed in the right direction. so if the public thinks that the -- even though we're going to hit 10%, the number of jobs we're losing every month has been cut by 60%, 70%. so things are headed in the right direction, and we're probably going to see another stimulus plan. >> how does the president convince the public if the job numbers keep feeling like bad news more and more of it each month? >> what julian says the true, look, i know my stocks which really were just tanked about six months ago have come back smartly, the ones that are still alive and people feel that and they feel good about things. but let me remind you, julian, came into politics before julian was born and richard nixon in 1965, linden johnson got medicare and all that stuff through, and in 1966, he lost 47 house seats to the republican party. >> all right, listen guys, we got to make a quick correction here, but julian and pat, love to see you as always. that correction here for all of you watching the previous story there, it's foreverfamily.net. there it is, at the bottom, sorry about that, we're going to get this together, see you later, thanks. ste, and intensit. ste, and intensit. now campbell's has found one that tops them all. it's naturally flavorful. adding it helps us use less salt than before in campbell's tomato soup. that famous, familiar flavor, as delicious as ever. now with less salt. thanks to a very special sea salt. ♪ so many, many reasons ♪ it's so m'm! m'm! good! ♪
