not like this. he needs to be put away for a long time. i want to go directly to arlington national cemetery where the president and officials have gathered to pay tribute to america s veterans. you re watching veterans gathered there to honor veterans, pay tribute on this very important day at arlington national cemetery. it started the ceremony with a 21-cannon salute that announced the president s arrival to arlington national cemetery. the official party has arrived at the tomb of the unknowns where president obama is escorted by major general liddington of the u.s. army military district of washington. we are just waiting for the playing of the national anthem. and here you see the president making his way with an official entourage. the president will place a wreath at the tomb, the tomb of the unknown followed by taps. and a moment of silence. we are watching the first lady, michelle obama, arri arrive as as the general. she is actually, one of her platforms, the
he got off easy having to pay 35 or $45,000 in a severance to the young women. we forget about that and the unfortunate thing is they have not been able to speak. there is negotiation going on with the national restaurant association today that may allow at least one of them to release a written statement. i think that s important. if herman is man enough to go on air and trash these women, talking about their performance was not up to par, they have the right to go out and talk about their side of the story. just let it all be known. the unfortunate part is one of these days the cain train will come into the station. will it have the wheels on or off? i have to ask you this question. the poll suggests that seven out of ten republicans frankly don t care about these allegations of sexual harassment. seven out of ten are saying it doesn t affect their willingness
the grinning just keeps on winning. herman, why can t i stop smiling? perhaps it s a new washington post poll that has him delighted. the survey taken after the scandal broke shows cain still neck and neck with mitt romney. what s more, 7 in 10 say the scandal makes no difference at all in their support. msnbc analyst karen finny is with us in washington and goldie taylor from thegrio.com joins us. good afternoon it both of you. herman cain said he is the brother of another mother to the koch brothers. got a little love in the room for that kind of response. what do you think? i had a couple of reactions. number one, given what s going on with his campaign manager in this alleged connection with the koch brothers, he kind of sounded like he was making the case for those who are saying that those funds were improperly
settlement of $35,000 and $45,000 and presumably he knew what he was settling for. the reporters told herman cain not only what the allegations were, but who they were made by. he knows everything and he won t let the women talk. he can release them today. focus on policies for a moment. focus for a moment on the far east, particularly china. herman cain s performance thus far. doesn t this open up the perfect opportunity for john huntsman to display expertise on china and really e vis rate mr. cain s limitations in this forth coming debate? do you think that s what s going to happen? i don t think you will see john huntsman being in the debate because he hasn t been so far as all. what i think we will see is mitt romney continuing to push forward. he had a good speech today and as we talk about what may or may not happen with herman and any
what a week it s been. herman cain under attack and rick perry on the way back and mitt romney still on track. here are the top lines a i week in review. ever been accused of something? the herman cain campaign in full damage control. i have never sexually harassed anyone. ask him a question, he gives you an answer one minute. i can t recall. i really can t recall. i can t recall. i am unaware of any settlement. another answer the next time you push on it. the words, i do recall an agreement. cain s memory seems to be getting better and better. i enjoy flowers like everybody else. we have no idea the source of this witch hunt. i love herman. the actions of the perry campaign are despicable.
