and the fact is one of the things that the american people are frustrated with isn t why you see the job approval dropping so dramatically, he s on the wrong topic, where are the jobs is what people want to know the answer to. kelly: alicia, the final word. i disagree, health care needs to be passed and once it s passed then we can focus on jobs and major indicator the republicans have slowed this process as they have, is the real problem. once it s passed we ll get jobs to the american people. kelly: thank you very much for a spirited debate on a topic that seems to have been with us for an entire year and may be close to an end game. thank you. jamie: wait till you see the map close to the entire northeast is on high alert right now over flooding with a major rain storm that is pounding the region. flood preparations underway right now from the mid atlantic to new england, all of winter s heavy snow combined with heavy downpours have added and turned
of course, john paul ii was very weak already when the cases in the united states came to light. kelly. kelly: greg, it s fascinating when you understand that he s already on record talking about filth in the church and the fact he s trying to clean it up as well. greg burke, thank you very much. good day to you, sir. jamie: turns out it was a setback for investigators. they were trying to hunt down the suspects in a huge poker tournament heist. you may have seen the video out of berlin last weekend. we were really shocked when we saw it. four armed men actually stormed this poker tournament in broad daylight and they made off with more than $300,000 u.s. dollars in jackpot money. authorities took one suspect into custody late yesterday. today they say they had to release that man because they didn t have enough evidence. just the video. a mercedes benz, long a pinnacle of style ap luxury, and safety, too, the german auto maker was the first with air bags and traction control, co
pollster, pat kadell. we think this this is a march of folly to use barbara tuckman s phrase and we don t want to see the party face slaughter in the polls in november, hence, we wrote the article. do you think that president obama delaying his trip overseas and perhaps twisting some arms and get it over the finish line perhaps to his own, to the democrats detriment. noi from working with the president clinton that the president of the united states has unique persuasive power. everyone who comes out of the meeting with leadership or the president says i m not for the bill now, but we had a good meeting. that s code word that we want to vote for the legislation. there s every reason to believe they ll get close to if not over 216, but i believe that if they do, it will not help them in november, probably hurt them very badly. all right, doug shone, democratic pollster, thank you for joining us today. thank you, molly. how far are democrats willing to go in order to pass healt
were way up there, shooting through the roof, and everyone kept thinking, well, buy, buy, buy, and so many of us were guilty of that and now, we re losing value on our homes and as a result of that, losing jobs as well. people are going into foreclosure. what responsibility do the banks share in this? well, the banks have a lot of responsibility, they wrote these squirrely mortgages and then sold them to unwitting investors by bundling them into bonds and some investors with the chinese government with the extra dollars they have to invest. some from insurance companies, some were lehman brothers. lehman brothers got stuck with its own bad mortgages and went under. kelly: so don t the banks have the responsibility to help defray the foreclosure burden on so many american people? to a point. but banks only have so much capital and if we make them to that, if we make them write down the mortgages, they will fail. and then businesses won t be able to get loans, folks that are worthy
house could vote on the senate bill and also, a bill of fixes, which the senate will also need to vote on. and here is where it gets even more tricky because some house members don t trust the senate to pass the changes to the original bill. it s all in play right now, but again, a vote probably by the end of this coming week. jamie: julie kirtz, with the very latest from washington. we re following it all here at fox, thanks so much, julie. kelly: all right, there is a so much talk about this health care reform that s going on. the debate and all. president obama postponing, as we ve heard, that international trip so he can personally put the pressure on waiving democrats. clearly, he s also putting his political capital on the line, if you will, for health care, but he s not the only politician with high stakes in all of this. joining me now is democratic consultant alicia mennen dez and g.o.p. pollster david winston. thank you both for joining us, and i should also mention we ll
