It. And every second this president applies himself, he must help the electoral momentum must shift in his direction because this now, these several days, will test if the president shares the hope on which hes built his public life. Heres the latest on sandys devastating impact. The storm has been blamed for at least 38 deaths so far. Theres new video this afternoon showing the massive destruction along the new jersey shore. Governor Chris Christie called the impact on his state unthinkable and said it would take months to recover. The storm swept houses from their foundation and left parts of the coast under water. New york city also dealing with devastating floods. The subway remains closed after damage to the system was called the worst in its 108year history. Meanwhile, massive fire in a beachfront neighborhood in queens, new york, destroyed nearly 100 homes overnight and into the morning.

About, midtown manhattan, and a couple preliminaries before we roll into this illustrated talk. I like that better than power point as a term. Im not good at power point. Its not that im a luddite. Im just not good at technology. Im just a technological idiot. Well, this is not the supreme city is not the book i originally set out to write. The original idea was to do the whole city, all five boroughs, and stretch it out from world war i to world war ii, but without trying to be too cute, i took too big a bite out of the apple, and i discovered as i was doing my research that there was i was really drawn to a really compelling story within the larger story i had intended to tell, and its an untold story actually. Its been told in bits and pieces, but its never been stitched together as a compelling historical narrative, and that story is the rise of the the sudden and spectacular rise i should say of midtown manhattan in the 1920s which was an urban backwater before 1919. There wasnt a
I had to wait a long time for this. I was at basic training in fort jackson. The the obviously here easily, and and the cadre and the mess talking about the restraints that the personnel of bjl. And lbj and the restraints that he was under was the incremental buildup that johnson put him through and the administration and i dont think you spoke much about it and just an observation of my own that the only thing i saw later on that what really worked that scared the bejeaners was a linebacker one and two.

President. His campaign was founded on this outrageous lie. There is no erasing it in history. Just yesterday, trump again refused to say with his own words that the president was born in the united states. Barack obama was born in america, plain and simple. And donald trump owes him and the American People an apology. Is clinton the one who owes the president an apology . Didnter didnt her supporters kick off the Birther Movement in 2008 . When this photo of obama in ceremonial african tribal dress during a visit to kenya was featured prominently on the internet and attributed to people in the Clinton Campaign, senator clinton disavowed any knowledge of it. Will you take senator obama at his word that you dont believe hes a muslim . No. There is nothing to to base that on. As far as i know. Trump told the post he wanted to answer the birther question at the right time, and that time came today. Hillary clinton and her campaign of 2008 started the birther controversy. I finished it. I
than we just had. thank you, chuck todd. nothing nasty. no poison in the water here. coming up, pants on fire, the writer mary mccarthy once said of her rival, lillian helmand, every world she writes is a lie including and and the. the same could be said of mitt romney about his new ads in ohio. you see the price of desperation here, dishonesty. the campaign crisis to the criticism? they keep running it. did climate change have something to do with hurricane sandy? freak storms happen all the time but this is precisely the kind of event scientists have been predicting to us for years. why would an eisenhower endorse democrat for president? susan eisenhower comes here to talk about. she s endorsing president obama again. does anyone really have a grip on who mitt romney is? this is hardball, the place for politics. allow natural gas producers to supply affordable, cleaner energy,
