that was pretty smart. but soon afterwards, reality seemed to sink in for butterfield. this is a serious day. i just got convicted of it s not accused anymore. it s actually convicted of killing my daughter. that s a serious thing. a lot of time things take two or three years, two or three decades to actually sink in to me head. since i didn t do it, it probably will never sink in. she was hog tied. hogtied and naked but my brain doesn t see her that way. my brain sees her as clothed. you said she had clothes. i wasn t lying. in my brain i see her clothed. my question to you, is there a possibility your brain won t let you see that you killed your daughter? i guess there s a possibility of that but then i was examined by all these professional psychiatrists, then why didn t i get guilt by reason
from the summer break. president obama has actively been meeting with some to create a plan. the question is how specific will it be and will it help? white house officials tell us it s a work in progress, and will include tax cuts and infrastructure ideas that could create jobs, and measures that target unemployed, and struggling economic sectors. they say the president is working on a debt reduction proposal and will present the so-called super committee, and as you know it s the 12 lawmakers tasked with cutting trillions from the federal deficit. their plan is due at the end of november. and the president s debt plan will go beyond that $1.5 trillion. now republicans who have been calling on the president to come up with a plan of his own, and they are now responding. we appreciate the fact that he is trying to devote some time to it, and not just on the bus tour, and not vacationing at martha s vineyard, but giving thought to the american people, and i thought that is w
phone hacking scandal that doomed a best-selling tabloid and rocked the very pillars of society. today, the parliamentary committee that grilled rupert murdoch and his son james last month released letters suggesting that illegal snooping, hacking, eavesdropping, were a lot more common at the now defunct news of the world than the murdochs led on. one such letter is from a reporter named clive goodman who was sacked and jailed for hacking the cell phones of the royal family. he writes to his paper s human resources department, this decision is inconsistent because, here s a name blacked out, and other members of staff were carrying out the same illegal procedures. he says this practice was widely discussed in the daily editorial conference until explicit reference to it was banned by the editor. now james murdoch appears to have some explaining to do. highly likely james murdoch will be invited back to give evidence. before that we want to take a very detailed account of
honest with ourselves is that we have a political culture that doesn t seem willing to make the tough choices to move america forward. we have a willingness to play partisan games and engage in brinkmanship, that not only costs us in terms of the economy now but also is going to place a burden on future generations. and the question is, can we break out of that pattern? can we break out of that pattern? think about it. we just went through this debacle with the debt ceiling, an entirely self inflicted wound. it wasn t something that was necessary. we had put forward a plan that would have stabilized our debt and our deficits for years to come. but because we have got a politics in which some folks in congress, not the folks who are here, but some in congress would rather see their opponents lose than america win, and we ended up creating more uncertainty and more damage to an economy that was already weak. now we can t have patience with that kind of behavior anymore. i know
up right now, and that s a good sign considering we re more than halfway through the trading day. you are seeing stocks rally on good economic news of the jobless claims numbers fell last week and we got strong corporate earnings from a bellwether company, cisco system, and you are seeing wall street focus on the positive today and we are seeing the bargain hunting going on as well, and you are seeing the bargain hunters getting in there and buying stocks up, randi. and the trader mthere with you, allen valdez. what about the first time they dropped below 4,000 for the first time in four weeks, and how much do you think that contributed to the rally we are seeing today? well, under 400,000 you know, that jobs number is probably the most important number for traders. it really is. we watch that number on a weekly basis. and this economy is powered by consumer spending, so if the consumer is not working he is not spending. anything under 400,000, they re not spending. l
