across the board way or just ignoring it which is what we think the white house is doing. they re not preparing for the sequester, it will happen, and we think we should be honest and show how we will prioritize spending cuts instead of letting this sequester cut across the board. that s what we re doing right now. martha: so the president was speaking about this in ohio yesterday and, of course, all of this gets intertwined with election year politics as well. so let s listen, he says, you know, basically, we tried it the republican way, and it didn t work. here s what he said. instead of moderating their views even slightly, you now have republicans in washington, the ones running for president proposing budgets that shower the wealthiest americans with even more tax cuts, folks like me who don t need em. we re looking for em. martha: your reaction? [laughter] i think the president doesn t have a record he can run on. he s going hard to the left in this last two years.
video as they were observing what was going on there. it was caught on tape. listen to this. [gunfire] martha: you see the u.n. truck right in the middle of all of that, and then the shots begin to be fired or an explosion, we re not sure what that was. it sent hundreds of protesters running in panic, the u.n. vehicles immediately speeding off. the same day that syria made a deal with the u.n. setting the terms, i should say, of the ceasefire which, obviously, is not working. gregg: a fox news alert, brand new poll numbers just out this morning showing president obama and mitt romney in a dead heat. take a look at this. rasmussen reports head to head matchup, romney has 46% of the vote to the president s 45%. yesterday romney supporter john boehner slamming the president, the house speaker saying the
and we thank you for speaking out, tina and david. thanks so much, and we re sorry for your loss, and we just congratulate you for having the strength to do what you re doing. to you both, all the best. gregg, back to you. gregg: that s quite a story. thank you so much for being here. lots still ahead. let s turn to jenna lee now for happening now. jenna: hi there, gregg. we re awaiting a big moment in the history of the space program. the retired shuttles, discovery and enterprise, will finally meet nose to note. plus, big brother possibly coming to a car, a pool, even a job application near you. we re going to explain all of that. and we re also going to take a closer look at some important voting blocs in the 2012 election, voting blocs that could decide who wins the white house. that s all coming up on happening now. gregg: jenna, thank you very much. the white house used a set of numbers to sell the so-called buffett rule before senate republicans blocked it. we re fact-checki
martha: this is an emotional movie, folks. that is a scene from the documentary, it is called bully, it is getting a ton of attention and very important to be discussed here as well. it is officially released in theaters nationwide, it focuses on the lives of five children who have suffered from extreme bullying situations at their schools, and tina and david long are feature inside that documentary. their son, tyler, was bullied, and he died when he was only 17, and that was a bit of them in the movie. there s a picture of him. welcome, tina and david, thank you so much for coming in with us. i know this must be, it s painful for me to look at it and to look at the two of you because i can still see the pain on your faces from all of this. why did you feel that it was so important to other families and other kids for you to tell your story? tyler had asperger s syndrome which is a form of autism, and as we know, 60% of all kids that
