what s keeping us all from getting together? what s keeping the naacp from getting together with the tea party? yes, there are some stark differences, but what is keeping us apart on the things that we clearly agree on? look at what ben jealous said about the rally yesterday. he said it wasn t the answer to the tea party, it s an antidote to the tea party. what is an antidote? it s a remedy to a poison or a problem. that s not unifying language of the kelli was correct, this was more to get progressives riled up, but when you invited people under the premise of being a unifying rally, it s disingenuous and even devious to get the voters there saying, look, we re looking to unite america past their differences when really it was about voter indifference when it came to the democrats and midterm elections. i know she s laughing, but you ve got to look at what the website says, what the rhetoric was before, and what was said yesterday. i m laughing because do you

leaning republican are actually now leaning democratic again. i think they re trying to mobilize their base to go to the polls since they have some momentum. kelli, both of you guys help me. lenny, i m going to come to you. you talked about the rhetoric and the phrase like antidote. you know that s going to set some folks on the tea party off. that s just something else that kind of splits people up. whose voice needs to prevail right now? can you all help me help us all understand, who can we turn to? what needs to be done to keep from splitting us up? the republicans and democrats in the house and in the senate are not going to do it clearly, but where are we going to find that unifying voice, lenny, that s going to help us for the next 30 days in a ramped up political campaign? it s not only just about the next 30 days, j., it s really about the next 30 years. it s about the next generations filling the void of leadership. we have to move towards an american statesman model of
intimate encounter with another man was streamed on the internet. hello to you all from the cnn center. this is your cnn sunday morning. 6:00 a.m. in atlanta, georgia, 5:00 a.m. in fayetteville, arkansas. wherever you may be, we re glad you re here. i m t.j. holmes. and we want to give a special welcome to our armed forces members around the world. thousands of people converged on the lincoln memorial yesterday. they were there for what was called the one nation working together rally. but many were from one side of the political aisle. we ll be taking a look. also, about 1,200 nasa employees have turned in their badges. they re being laid off as the space shuttle program wraps up. also, germany celebrating a historic milestone this weekend. 20 years ago east and west came together again after the fall of the berlin wall. let s get back to that travel alert, expected travel alert to be issued by the state department today. the advisory is specific for americans tr
