heat from the left on that. not only that, but i will give president obama this, he s proposed about $25 billion in spending cuts for next year s budget, included is cuts in home heating for low income families. gregg: education. education. cutting programs out of the federal department of education and even eliminating coal subsidies which is going to be politically problematic in some of those working swing states. gregg: good to see you both. thanks very much. good to be here. thanks. heather: a fox news alert, a welcoming ceremony taking place far above the earth. the international space station opening its hatch to the crew of the space shuttle discovery. you re looking at this as it happens. they didn t drop by empty handed. the shuttle, carrying supplies,
upon whether we can come together as a nation. our future depends on putting politics aside to solve problems. to worry about the next generation, instead of the next election. we can t spend the next two years mired in gridlock. other countries like china are expanding still. so we can t aren t standing still, so we can t stand still, either. we ve got to move forward. i m confident if we can do that, if we can work together, then this country will not only recover but prosper, and i m looking very much forward to helping to try some markets open, help american businesses and put people back to work here at home during the course of this trip. thank you very much. martha: all right, president obama will be on his way to this 1046 day asia trip and we will continue to keep an eye on that as he proceeds through that process this morning. he also spoke about the unemployment rate, which is he s seeing as a
so we ve now seen four-months of private sector job growth above 100,000, which is the first time we ve seen this kind of increase in over four years. now, that s not good enough. the unemployment rate is still unacceptably high and we ve got a lot of work to do. this recession caused a great deal of hardship, and it put millions of people out of work. so in order to repair this damage, in order to create the jobs to meet the large need, we need to accelerate our economic growth so that we are producing jobs at a faster pace. because the fact is, an encouraging jobs report doesn t make a difference if you re still one of the millions of people who are looking for work. and i won t be satisfied until everybody who is looking for a job can find one. so we ve got to keep fighting for every job, for every new business, for every opportunity to get this economy moving.

that s very kind. i was surely surprised when the unemployment rate didn t drop after the wedding. that s great dead pan. anyway the former president s been making rounds ahead of next week s big clinton global initiative. in new york, something we ll be sure to be covering next. fox news protects its own. the network s just filed a copyright infringement believe it or not. carnahan put out an ad of a 2006 clip of her republican opponent, roy blunt, getting hammered by chris wallace on fox. take a look. you just said a moment ago that you have to show that you re the party of reform. but some question whether you are the man to do that. in 2002, you tried to insert language into the homeland security act to help phillip morris tobacco. and your campaign committee s paid $485,000 to a firm linked to lobbyists, jack abramoff. are you the one to clean up the house? roy blunt the very worst of washington. wow.
