today, at this point, it s irrelevant. it s starting to seem a bit like march, april, of 1995 when bill clinton had to go out and do a press conference to remind americans he was well. of course we know how that story ended. this could end well for this president as well. this is a strange time for this administration. a couple things have happened to the presidency, not specific to president obama but the presidency itself. when they were trying to negotiate a big deal between the speaker of the house and the president of the united states. the speaker went several hours without returning a phone call from the president of the united states. the president of the united states doesn t return his phone call. then it s a little thing, you are right, jon, yesterday. the back and forth between the speaker and the president. no, you can t come and speak on
how cops finally caught up with those three fugitive siblings from florida. turns out the tip came from two retired police officers. police say a former colorado state trooper and exwildlife officer were on vacation when they spotted the dougherty gang. the troop knew the number of the state patrol dispatch center and called in the sightings. that led to a high speed chase, a shootout, and finally a crash. the siblings now in custody. they are facing charges in three states, including attempted murder, bank robbery, and shooting at a police officer. they are due back in court on monday. so where in the world is casey anthony? it s really anybody s guess. but today we learned that she has to be back in florida within the next two weeks fanned she doesn t return, she could be in even more legal trouble a live report on that coming up. plus, remember that whole scandal with the ohio state football team?
